Some in the city cant wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include. “Id use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 am. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said Walter Choo,40，of Fort Greene. The smartphonelike glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about ones surroundings. So，for example，if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you. “As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isnt something anybody needs，”said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo. com. “Were accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，”he added，“and the average consumer isnt gonna be able to afford another device (装置)thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars. ”9 to 5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphonelike glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones. “Its just like smartphones 10 years ago，” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and its unnatural，”he said. “Theres gonna be improvements to that，and this is a step there. ”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，题材为科普知识类。这则新闻介绍了Google新推出的智能眼镜。21One of the possible functions of the smartphonelike glasses is to _. Aprogram the opening hours of a barBsupply you with a picture of the futureCprovide information about your surroundingsDupdate the maps and GPS in your smartphones解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，该智能眼镜可能具备目前智能手机和平板电脑所具备的技术，即在屏幕上可以显示有关周围环境的信息。22The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means “_”Adevelop rapidlyBget round quicklyCappear immediatelyDgo over automatically解析：选C词义猜测题。此处举例说明智能眼镜具备显示周围环境信息的技术。由此推断，“indicators would pop up”最有可能指显示器“会快速显现出信息”，故选C。23According to Sam Biddle，the smartphonelike glasses are _. Anecessary for teenagersBattractive to New YorkersCavailable to people worldwideDexpensive for average consumers解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，Sam Biddle认为，人们携带一种具有这些功能的智能装置就足够了(例如智能手机或平板电脑)，一般的消费者不可能再花费成百上千美金去买另一种装置。这里的another device指的就是智能眼镜，故答案选D。24We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphonelike glasses _. Amay have a potential marketBare as common as smartphonesCare popular among young adultsDwill be improved by a new technology解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Weintraub认为，智能手机接收邮件开始也是不为人们所接受的，智能眼镜最终也会像智能手机那样，被人们所接受和认可。故答案选A。BNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets. “Storm at Sea”， a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic. When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the oceans breast. As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noiseit is forever thundering，boiling，crashing, and whistling. It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breathperhaps not so noticeably out in midocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences，too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of subocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking. 【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了大西洋富有力量、和谐和多变的自然特点。25Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is _. Aalways energeticBlacking in livelinessCshaped like a squareDfavored by ancient poets解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段中“the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness”可知，大西洋充满了活力，故选A项。26What is the purpose of using the poem“Storm at Sea” in the passage?ATo describe the movement of the waves. BTo show the strength of the storm. CTo represent the power of the ocean. DTo prove the vastness of the sea. 解析：选C推理判断题。第一段说明了大西洋富有活力的特点后，作者通过一首古诗印证，接着用一句话对诗歌进行了总结：“As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. ”。由此可判断，作者引用诗歌的目的是展现大西洋的力量，故选C项。27What does the underlined word“symbiotic” mean?ALiving together. BGrowing fast. CMoving harmoniously. DBreathing peacefully. 解析：选A词义猜测题。根据下文的描述可知，在大西洋生活的大量生物和谐共处，由此可推断symbiotic的意思为“共生的”，故选A项。B. 生长迅速；C. 和谐地移动；D. 平和地呼吸。28In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to _. Aa beautiful and poetic placeBa flesh and blood personCa wonderful worldDa lovely animal解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的关键词psychology, personalities可知，作者把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉有情感的人，故选B项。CIts AOL Jobs Week.

Now scientists have found that it is the ratio (比值) of the birds wing length to its width that makes them so efficient (高效的)The discovery is helping experts compete with 42 million years of natural selection to build helicopters that are increasingly efficient. David Lentink, an assistant professor at Stanford University in California, tested wings from 12 different species of hummingbirds, which he sourced from museums. He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics (气体力学) of helicopter blades (桨叶)Professor Lentinks team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced microhelicopter used by the UKs army. They found that the microhelicopters blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds. But while the microhelicopters blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings, they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbirds wing. The wings of Annas hummingbird were found to be about 27 percent more efficient than the manmade microhelicopters blades. While Professor Lentink wasnt surprised at natures superiority, he said that helicopter blades have come a long way. “The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird，” he said. “A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build. The best hummingbirds are still better，but I think its amazing that were getting closer. Its not easy to match their performance, but if we build better wings with better shapes, we might match hummingbirds. ”Professor Lentink said that we dont know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind, how they navigate through branches, or how they change direction so quickly. He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratiosthe ratio of wing length to wing width. Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments. 【解题导语】本文是一篇科技报道。科学家们通过研究蜂鸟，发现它们的盘旋飞行技能比先进的直升机还要高，因此他们希望进一步研究以提高直升机的性能。33What did the scientists find out about hummingbirds?ATheir wings are long and wide. BThey can hover in the air for a long time. CThe ratio o
