Question

If you get a cellphone call, your sleeve(袖子) will soon be able to answer it. If you want to know how far you’ve run, your trousers will be able to tell you. Can’t decide what to wear? Wish your clothes were smart enough to decide for you? A new computer science technology may be able to help your clothing to do just that.

Mark Jones, a computer scientist, says, "We view electronic textiles (電子紡織品) as, sort of, where computing meets the fabric (編織品)."

This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.

A loom (織布機(jī)) helps make the wires and fabric together. Then special equipment in the fabric can measure the speed. Signals are then sent from the trousers to a computer to show the process.

Tom Martin also says, "E-textiles are a way for us to build wearable computers that look like normal clothing and can fit in fully with the environment."

Researchers also hope wearable computers will help save lives. "We will be able to tell what activity a person is doing. That sort of information is highly valuable when we’re trying to monitor someone with a long-term illness such as heart disease," Jones says. Monitoring your every step is something that clever clothing can do a little easier. Researchers plan on developing more smart clothes to integrate computers into shirts, hats and gloves.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要介紹的是一種新型的技術(shù)把新的電腦技術(shù)和服裝相結(jié)合，形成了一種新的服裝，能夠監(jiān)控我們的每一個行動，監(jiān)控我們的身體狀況。

1.B 推理題。根據(jù)We view electronic textiles (電子紡織品) as, sort of, where computing meets the fabric (編織品)."This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.這里的marriage說明是把編織品和電腦技術(shù)結(jié)合在一起，形成一種新型的服裝。故B正確。

2.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段  This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.說明把一些很小的裝置放在服裝里，讓這樣的電腦裝置知道你的所有的舉動。故D正確。

3.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段"We will be able to tell what activity a person is doing. That sort of information is highly valuable when we’re trying to monitor someone with a long-term illness such as heart disease,"說明這樣的服裝可以監(jiān)控你的健康狀況。故C正確。

4.A 主旨大意題。本文主要介紹的是一種新型的技術(shù)把新的電腦技術(shù)和服裝相結(jié)合，形成了一種新的服裝，能夠監(jiān)控我們的每一個行動，監(jiān)控我們的身體狀況。故A正確。

考點(diǎn)：考查科技說明文

點(diǎn)評：本文主要介紹的是一種新型的技術(shù)把新的電腦技術(shù)和服裝相結(jié)合，屬于科技說明文。此類文章的最大的障礙是詞匯以及考生對閱讀內(nèi)容的不熟悉，需要考生在閱讀的時候有足夠的耐心。要養(yǎng)成在上下文串聯(lián)中猜測詞義的能力，根據(jù)上下文中出現(xiàn)的同義詞，近義詞，反義詞，以及詞義的解釋來理解生詞。同時要抓住文章的中心，不要受其他信息的影響。要根據(jù)題目及選項以及文章的上下文串聯(lián)合理的判斷推理。
