湖北省黄石市2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（2）及答案gaudi nanda sees a wearable computer as a handbag - one thats built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fiber, with tiny computer chips embedded (嵌于) in it. it looks, feels and weighs like your typical leather purse. thats where the similarities end: this bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings and remind you, just as youre about to leave the house, to take your wallet. it can review the weather report and suggest that you take an umbrella. this purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf. surely, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. but these devices, part of next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. and the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty (耐磨损的) cycle. as a result, these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on their stomachs. unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. when her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years, nanda expects it will cost around $ 150, which is the price of an average leather purse.heres how the bag works: you place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. a similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that youve forgotten to take your wallet. in turn, sensors on your purses handles will notify the computer that youve picked up the purse and are ready to go. already, these new kinds of wearable devices are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring - and even, increasingly, for consumers at large. indeed, more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years - making for a booming market for wearable computers that dont look like something out of science fiction.12. which of the following describes a wearable computer?a. it can be washed in washing machines. b. it is much heavier than a leather purse. c. it can download songs from the internet. d. it is made of clothes conducting electricity.13. according to the passage, the new wearable computers _. a. require users to operate on the stomach b. pick up the signals through wires and chips c. are being applied in some different areas nowd. are smarter but more expensive than the old ones14. what does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?a. the new wearable computers have become fashionable.b. people would like to learn more about the new computers.c. new wearable computers promise to sell well in the futured. the idea of the purse-like computers comes from science fiction.15. the purpose of the passage is to _a. introduce a new kind of computer b. explain the functions of computers c. compare different types of computers d. show how high technology affects our life1215、acca *结束two teachers are needed in jiangsu province asap!7000-8000 rmb /

is a book based on the writings from a diary written by anne frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the nazi occupation of the netherlands. anne frank began to keep a diary on her thirteenth birthday, 12 june 1942, three weeks before going into hiding with her mother edith, father otto, sister margot and four other people. with the assistance of a group of otto franks trusted colleagues they remained hidden for two years and one month. they were arrested in 1944 and sent to separate nazi concentration camps. anne frank finally died of typhus(斑疹伤寒) in the bergen-belsen concentration camp shortly (about two weeks) before liberation by british troops in april 1945. of the group of eight, only otto frank, annes father, survived the war. after the war, he got back the diary that was saved and kept by his friend.when otto frank read his daughters diary, he was astonished. i never knew my little anne was so deep. anne franks story has become an example of jewish suffering under adolf hitler, and a warning of the consequences of racism and persecution(迫害).there has been guess about the identity of kitty, who in annes revised diary is the only receiver of her letters. it was once thought that the name referred to kitty egyedi, a prewar friend of franks. however, kitty egyedi said in an interview that she was flattered by the assumption but doubted the diary was addressed to her: “kitty became so idealized and started to lead her own life in the diary. the name . is not meant to be me.”the characters fictional(虚构的) origin was proved undoubtedly later. anne had expressed the desire in the introduction of her diary for one person that she could call her truest friend, that is, a person to whom she could confide her deepest thoughts and feelings. she observed that she had many friends, but (by her own definition) no true, dear friend with whom she could share her innermost thoughts. in fact, the closest friend anne had during her tragically short life was her diary, kitty, for it was only to kitty that she entrusted her innermost thoughts.1. from the passage, we can know that _. a. anne was born on 12 june 1928 b. anne went into hiding in june 1942 c. anne was arrested in august 1944 d. anne died shortly after her 16th birthday2. which of the following is true? a. annes family was helped by ottos colleagues in the hiding
