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 electro­texiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes tha have minds of their own ! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be mixed with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.

If you think the weather has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high­tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine­volt 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% shockproof, they say.

The electrotexiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. These 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 “l(fā)ap­tap” devices are all set to take over laptop computers!

Another useful garment is the shirt­cum­mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wears include the denim (牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hoop and the electronic ski jacket with a built­in 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?

60.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

61.How will researchers improve these high­tech clothes?

A. Body heat will be used as power.

B. The wearer will not get shocked.

C. A tiny nine­volt battery will work. 

D. They will get charged automatically.

62.The main purpose of the text is________.

A. to advertise for an English company

B. to predict the future trend of the products in the company

C. to show how rapidly science develops

D. to introduce some intelligent (智能的) clothing in the company

63.It can be inferred that the author's attitude towards the company is ________.

A. negative (消極的)   B. casual 

C. optimistic   D. doubtful

解析:推理判斷題。四個選項都是這種新服裝的特點,只有B項是它與其他電器相同的地方:都需要電力才能運轉(zhuǎn)。

答案:B

解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段講到“研究人員希望在不遠(yuǎn)的將來,這些衣服能利用穿衣人的體熱發(fā)電”,由此可知A項是他們下一步的工作目標(biāo)。

答案:A

解析:主旨大意題。文章介紹在科學(xué)高速發(fā)展的今天,英國一家公司的科研人員研發(fā)的一種新服務(wù),以及這種服裝的智能特點,因此本文的寫作目的是D項。

答案:B

解析:推理判斷題。作者介紹了英國一家公司研發(fā)的高科技含量的新服裝,最后一段說,公司研究出了布料鍵盤,并開始了領(lǐng)帶能用作鼠標(biāo)的研究。隨后提出“你知道下一步是什么嗎?”從這些敘述看,作者對這家公司的態(tài)度是樂觀的,認(rèn)為他們將會不斷研究出更多高科技的新產(chǎn)品。

答案:C
