22、个解决方法。4D细节理解题。根据第一段的“The words are actually not in the sky at all.They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜)(这些文字事实上不是在天空。它们来自隐形眼镜中的微型计算机)”可知,隐形眼镜可以显示佩戴者看到的东西的信息。“Show information about what wearers can see(显示佩戴者看到的信息)”符合以上说法。故选D项。5A推理判断题。根据第三段的“there are potential problems.Such public di
23、splays can lead to privacy concerns”可知,新的解决方案虽然取得了突破,但也存在潜在的问题,这样的公开展示会导致对隐私的担心。由此推测,微型投影仪会让人们的隐私处于危险中。“Put peoples privacy at risk(让人们的隐私出于危险中)”符合以上说法。故选A项。6C词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress
24、 to that_level.”可知:尽管现在电脑还不能用来治疗视力问题,但Parviz希望将来的某天这项技术能进步到那个水平。结合上下文可知,画线部分是指“用镜片上的电脑治疗视力问题”。“Treating eyesight problems(治疗视力问题)”符合以上猜测。故选C项。7A标题推测题。本文主要讲述了通过隐形眼镜上的微型电脑,人们可以看到所见事物的相关数据。“Tiny Computers, Amazing Sights(微型电脑,惊人的景象)”可以作为本篇标题。故选A项。.读后续写阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 (2021年山东部分重点中
