高考英語一輪復(fù)習(xí)話題語篇專攻練18科普發(fā)明三外研版

話題語篇專攻練18科普發(fā)明(三)(建議用時(shí)40分鐘). 閱讀理解AExpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes(話匣子)to take the term “handsfree” to a new levelby talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost1, 000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth. Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned(承擔(dān))the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags. Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new glovesone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras. Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that myTalk to the Handproject will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim. ”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “Theres a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away. ”【文章大意】本文主要介紹了一種利用廢棄的東西制成的新型的手套, 這種手套可以用來打電話。1.

New experiments show that may not be true, even within a vacuum. Sometimes, light slows a bit. The new research is“very impressive work, ”Robert Boyd said. “Its the sort of thing thats so obvious, you wonder why you didnt think of it first. ”Light travels as particles and as waves. Photons(光子)are the name given to those particles that represent the smallest possible amount of light. At their fastest, photons travel nearly 300 million meters in a single second. Thats fast enough to get to the moon and back in about 2. 6 seconds. Scientists had long known, though, that they could slow light photons down by shining them through a material such as glass or water. Still, light moving through a vacuum has usually been assumed to move at peak speed. That would seem to make sense. In a new study, however, scientists show that even racing through a vacuum, light can slow. So the speed of light is more of a universal speed limit than an absolute rule for how fast photons travel. Miles Padgett and his colleagues showed that the key to slowing light is to change the shape of a light wave. His team raced a pair of photons. One traveled unchanged through a cable made from optical fibers. The other passed through a pair of devices that acted like lenses. A lens changes light: It can focus a spread-out beam of light into a point, for instance. The second photon passed through one device that changed the shape of its wave and another that changed it back to its original form. The first photon won the race. The second photon came in a tiny bit later, several quadrillionths of a second late for every meter of the race. The difference wasnt huge, but it was enough to measure. Most technology would not pick up such a small change, but it could be important to scientists who study short pulses of light. “Im not surprised the effect exists, ”Boyd said. “But its surprising that it is so large and strong. ”【文章大意】本文主要介紹了光的速度其實(shí)并不像人們所想象的那樣, 總是很快。有的時(shí)候, 它可以慢下來。5. What Boyd said in Para. 2 may mean_. A. it isnt surprising that light can slowB. it is clear that light has a constant speedC. it is a pity that he didnt slow light firstD. it is a wonder that light slows down【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的Its the sort of thing thats so obvious, you wonder why you didnt think of it first. 可知, 他認(rèn)為這種現(xiàn)象其實(shí)是很明顯的, 為什么自己沒有提前想到, 說明這并不是一件令人吃驚的事情。6. According to the text, Miles thinks_. A. light photons dont slow down in a vacuumB. the speed of light isnt absolute for photonsC. there is really a limit to the speed of lightD. traveling photons keep an absolute rule of speed【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合第四段的So the speed of light is more of a universal speed limit than an absolute rule for how fast photons travel. 可知, 光的速度更是一種普遍的速度限制, 而不是光子運(yùn)行多快的絕對(duì)規(guī)則。7. How can people slow light efficiently? A. By keeping light traveling in a straight line. B. By sending light through a cable of optical fiber. C. By focusing a spread-out beam of light into a point. D. By changing the direction of light constantly. 【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從倒數(shù)第三段的It can focus a spread-out beam of light into a point, for instance. The second photon passed through one device that changed the shape of its wave and another that changed it back to its original form. 及倒數(shù)第二段的The second photon came in a tiny bit later可知, 把分散的光聚集成一個(gè)點(diǎn)可減慢光速。8. What does the underlined word“it”refer to? A. The race. B. The photon. C. A second. D. The difference. 【解析】選D。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的畫線詞前面的The difference wasnt huge可知, 這里的it指的就是這個(gè)差別。9. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Sometimes light is not so fastB. Light can slow in the endC. The light runs fastest in a vacuumD. Light speed is beyond measurement【解析】選A。主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了有的時(shí)候光的速度并不像人們所想象的那樣快, 它也有慢的時(shí)候。. 完形填空I had been writing in pen and ink before making the change to a computer keyboard.
