Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer?
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes — clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable!! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These ‘lap- tap’ gadgets(器具) are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(風(fēng)帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
【小題1】. The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that ______.

A.they feel smooth and soft
B.they use electricity as power
C.they can be washed in water
D.they are made from flexible materials
【小題2】. How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
A.Body heat will be used as power.
B.The wearer will not get shocked.
C.A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
D.They will get charged automatically.
【小題3】 What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.The laptop computer.B.The electronic ski jacket.
C.The shirt-cum-mobile phone.D.The world’s first cloth keyboard.
【小題4】. If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
A.The cloth keyboard.B.The electronic ski jacket.
C.The necktie to be used as a mouse.D.The denim jacket with earphones.
【小題5】. The main purpose of the text is ______.
A.to advertise for an English companyB.to predict the future trend of science
C.to show how rapidly science developsD.to introduce some intelligent clothing


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】B
【小題5】D

解析試題分析:
【小題1】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段第2行Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered.說(shuō)明它和其它的電器設(shè)備一樣,都需要電源。故B正確。
【小題2】A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段3,4行But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat.說(shuō)明A正確。
【小題3】.C 推理題。根據(jù)第五段Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel!說(shuō)明. This handy invention就是指上一句的the shirt-cum-mobile phone故C正確。
【小題4】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段后三行The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.說(shuō)明去滑雪,你要穿The electronic ski jacket.可以衛(wèi)星定位你的具體位置。故B正確。
