Unit 3 Inventors and inventions
单元检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
British shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated £30 billion worth of unused clothing gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe(衣柜). But new technology could see the end of that, with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.21世纪教育网版权所有
"Smart clothes" could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these alerts are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could also be programmed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.www.21-cn-jy.com
Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the "connected wardrobe" to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged(给……加标签) using washable contactless technology.21*cnjy*com
Mark Brill, senior lecturer at Birmingham City University, said, "Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn’t know were in their wardrobe." "The connected wardrobe is a practical, pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption," he added. "Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’ of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper."
It follows in the footsteps of the "Internet of Things" — a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home, the Internet is changing the way we live. Now, the "Internet of Clothes" will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners "asking" to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.
1. What does the author say about "smart clothes"?
A. They may be donated on eBay.
B. They have gained in popularity.
C. They give warnings if worn out.
D. They may be recycled if long forgotten.
2. How does Mark Brill find the "connected wardrobe"?www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. It helps people buy cheaper clothes.
B. It contributes to right consumption attitudes.2-1-c-n-j-y
C. It changes people’s shopping habits.
D. It improves people’s consumer confidence.
3. What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A. Clothes can be a source of information.
B. Weather affects the connected wardrobe.
C. Clothes are sold online at a low price.
D. The Internet is a platform to share items.
4. What’s the author’s attitude to the new technology?
A. Critical.
B. Uninterested.
C. Approving.
D. Skeptical.
B
In an effort to fight plastic pollution, Indian company EnviGreen has made a new material that looks like plastic, but is 100% organic and can be eaten.
EnviGreen founder Ashwath Hedge got this idea after seeing people struggling to find alternatives to plastic bags. So he decided to work on something that would solve this problem while being environment-friendly.
Hedge spent four years experimenting with various materials, and one day he discovered a combination of 12 ingredients, including potato, tapioca, corn, vegetable oil and bananas, which looked and felt like plastic, but caused none of the environmental problems. The process is obviously a closely-guarded secret, but Hedge did reveal that the raw materials are first changed into liquid form, and then taken through a six-stage process to create the bags.
The cost of an EnviGreen bag is about 35% higher than that of a plastic bag, but the benefits of using the former are more than worth the extra cost. EnviGreen bags dissolve(分解)naturally in less than 180 days, and if placed in water at room temperature, they dissolve in less than a day. Placed in boiling water, they dissolve in about 15 seconds.【出处:21教育名师】
EnviGreen has set up a factory in Bangalore, where it produces around 1,000 tonnes of eco-friendly "plastic" bags a month. That’s not very much, considering that the city of Bangalore alone consumes over 30,000 tonnes of plastic bags every month, but Hedge claims that he wants to set up enough production facilities before they start distributing bags to individual customers and shop owners. They have, however, started supplying the bags to corporate retail(零售) chains like Metro and Reliance. Apart from protecting the environment, Ashwath Hedge also plans to use EnviGreen bags to support local farmers. "We had this unique idea of empowering farmers in rural Karnataka by sourcing all our raw materials from them," he said. "We are also planning to distribute seeds to help them produce the amount of materials required to make the bags."
Nowadays, over 15,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated in India every day, only 9,000 of which is collected and processed. Inventions like an EnviGreen bag can help solve this problem, so let’s hope it lives up to its potential.
5. What is the benefit of EnviGreen bags?
A. Improving the production of crops.
B. Promoting the retail industry’s boom.
C. Costing much less than common bags.
D. Doing no damage to the environment.
6. What can we learn about the making of EnviGreen bags?21教育名师原创作品
A. The six-stage process turns liquids into solids.
B. The materials are kept hidden from outsiders.
C. The process needs workers’ close observation.
D. The materials are steamed initially to kill bacteria.21教育网
7. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph indicate?
A. The bags need to be improved.
B. The bags are expected to fully play their role.
C. The bags’ effect has been overstated.
D. The bags can’t clear plastic waste thoroughly.
