The keyboard could offer a stronger layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a users typing and the time between key presses.This phenomenon, called “contact electrification”， is the same process that creates static electricity
21、. Chen said, “Its like when you run your hand across a wool blanket and see sparks (电火花) in the darkness.”In a study describing the technology published in the journal ACS Nano, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the keyboard. Data gleaned from the device could

However, one of the problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up
26、 with a lowerquality plastic with worse properties (特性) than the original. This means that plastic drink bottles cannot simply be recycled into new drink bottles continuously, but instead are used for other lowergrade products like park benches.Now, British scientists have developed a new method of
27、chemical recycling. They use lower temperatures and more environmentally friendly chemicals than previous methods to turn plastics back into their constituent chemical molecules (分子). In this way, they can be used to make new plastics of the same quality as the original.“Most plastics are now recycl
28、ed using mechanical methods, where they are transformed into liquids before being made into something new，” said a professor named Matthew Jones. “The problem is, melting plastic changes its properties and reduces the quality. Our method of chemical recycling overcomes this problem. Then plastics ca
29、n be used all over again without losing any properties.”The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics, including plantbased PLA, a plastic used for food packaging and PET, which is used for drink bottles. So far, the technology has only been demonstrated in a small range. However, scientists
30、are now working to produce larger quantities of chemicals.“There is no single solution to the problem of plastic wastethe approach has to be a combination of reducing, reusing and recycling. Our method of chemical recycling could allow carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than digging more up from

50、即该设备通过这种方式发电来给自己供电，故C项正确。10答案与解析：A考查词义猜测。上文提到研究人员让100名志愿者用智能键盘打四遍“touch”，结合语境可知，画线词所在句表示该设备收集的数据可以用来识别出用户身份。故选A项。11答案与解析：B考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了智能键盘是根据使用者的打字模式来判断其身份，从而达到识别身份，保护隐私的功能，故B项最适合作本文标题。D语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自然环境保护塑料废物回收利用的新方法文章大意文章介绍了一种新的回收利用塑料废物的方法，该方法在回收塑料并进行重新利用的同时，不破坏该塑料原有的特性，进而避免了塑料在回收之后的降级使

52、in without losing any properties.”可知，科学家开发的新的回收利用塑料废物的方法维持了塑料原有的特性，故选C。14答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“Our method of chemical recycling.or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas”可知，他认为化学回收利用的方法可以让碳无休止地循环利用，而不是以化石燃料的形式从地下挖掘出更多的碳，或者让碳作为温室气体进入大气。由此可知，他认为化学回收利用的方法是环保的。故选D。15答案与解析：B考查文章出处。本文分析了目前的塑料废
53、物回收利用方法存在的问题，并介绍了一种科学家新开发的可以维持塑料原有特性的回收利用方法。由此可知，本文可能出自网站的科学与技术版块。故选B。第二节语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会服装文化时装与身份文章大意为了在人群中更突出，人类社会产生了时装。服装可以反映出人们的身份和状态，而且也影响着穿着者和其他人的行为举止。16答案与解析：B本空是一个过渡句。前一句“Some examples of these standing out became very popular and were followed by more people.”事实上是fashion的定义，后一句进一步讲述了如今的fas
54、hion，因此B选项符合语境。17答案与解析：F本空是一个段尾句。结合本段中心句“The type of clothing completely depends on the person wearing it and becomes a reflection of personal identity.”和空前一句中的“the clothing of a person is a means of communication with the outside world”可知，本段讲的是服装能展示穿着者的身份和状态，故F项与此处匹配。18答案与解析：G空前一句表述穿着最终能改变一个人的举止，空处应是继续举例说明穿着对人们的行为举止的影响，G选项符合语境，所以选G项。19答案与解析：E本空与后一句形成因果关系，前因后果，结合后一句“因此，即使最小的公司也会要求员工穿西装”可知，E项“穿职业装的人总会得到偏爱”符合语境。20答案与解析：C本空是该段的中心句。通读该段内容可知，本段讲的是服装与身份的关系，故C选项符合语境，所以选C项。
