270、ness and rapid recovery of human skin.(“电子皮肤在反复使用后保持韧性是一个惊人的成就,”沈说,“它模仿了人类皮肤的柔软和快速恢复(能力)。”)”可知,新电子皮肤在强度、耐用性和敏感性方面与人类皮肤相似,而且反复使用后能迅速恢复,非常灵活。因此,新的电子皮肤的特点是C项“Its flexible and sensitive.(它灵活敏感。)”符合题意。故选C。10A推理判断题。根据第三段“Most e-skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to hum
271、an skin.However, the connection between them is often too weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity of the material;otherwise, if it is too strong, it wont be flexible enough, making it more likely to break the circuit.(大多数电子皮肤是通过在皮肤表面安装一个有源传感器来制作的。但是,它们之间的连接往往太弱,这就降低了材料的耐久性和灵敏度;否则,如果太强,就不够
272、灵活,更容易断开电路。)”可知,大多数电子皮肤是通过在皮肤表面安装一个有源传感器来制作,但是它们之间的连接既不能太强也不能太弱,研究过程中遇到了挑战。因此,作者在第3段提到“大多数电子皮肤”是为了强调制作电子皮肤的挑战。故选A。11D细节理解题。根据第二段“The ideal e-skin will mimic many natural functions of human skin, such as sensing temperature and touch, accurately and in real time (理想的电子皮肤将模拟人体皮肤的许多自然功能,如准确实时地感知温度和触觉)”
273、可知,新电子皮肤模拟人体皮肤的许多自然功能,如准确实时地感知温度和触觉。故选D。12B标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity.(一个联合研究小组最近开发了一种新的电子皮肤,它在强度、耐用性和敏感性方面与人类皮肤相似。)”可知,新的电子皮肤,它在强度、耐用性和敏感性方面与人类皮肤相似,在新技术的支持下,有希望大量生产。因此,这篇文章最好的标题是B项“Man-made Skin, Improved (人造改良皮肤)”。故选B。
