64、ou dont really notice it anymore.”可知,人们穿上这套设备后过一会儿就感觉不到它的存在了,即感觉不到什么异样。B选项最符合文章描述。答案:B11What do Walshs words in Paragraph 4 suggest?AHe works for American military force.BThe suit can protect soldiers in the distance.CPeople with Parkinsons disease will be cured.DA certain model of a suit can be bou
65、ght now.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.”可知,Walsh所在实验室与某个公司合作研制的一款帮助中风患者的外穿设备已经可以在市场上买到。故选D。答案:D12Whats Zeliks attitude towards the future of exosuits?AObjective. BOptimistic.CIndifferent. DHopeless.解析:观点态度题。根据题干
66、中的Zelik可将解题线索定位在最后一段,根据最后一段的内容尤其是“promising work”“he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast”“In the future,he says,the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all,but rather technology put inside a persons body.”等信息可知,Zelik认为Walsh团队研发的外穿设备前景很好,但该领域还在快速变化,Zelik认为着眼未来,最好的辅助设备可能根本不是这样的外穿设备,而是可植入人体的技术性设备。由此可知,Zelik客观地从两方面看待这类外穿设备的未来,故选A项。答案:A词汇积累:Para.4:available adj.可找到的,可获得的;有空的This new product isnt commercially available now.这款新产品现在在市场上还买不到。Para.5:promising adj.有前途的This is a very promising work,which can broaden your horizons.这是一份很有前途的工作,它可以开阔你的视野。
