30、evitation (声悬浮), the use of sound wave vibrations (声波振动) to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3D printing methods, or creating displays that
31、 would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen. Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrat

43、题归纳题。文章第一段提到研究人员利用声波产生飘浮的3D图像,创造触觉,甚至提供背景音乐,接着说明使用声悬浮技术的无屏显像可以让人们从任何方向看到图像,最后讨论了对这项技术的展望。故A项“听觉就是视觉声波产生3D显示”是最佳标题。B项“眼见为实3D打印方法的到来”核心词是3D打印,与文意不符;C项“改进触摸感3D图像飘浮在空中”侧重点在触感上,犯了以偏概全的错误;D项“推广电视技术用3D投影聊天”,文中仅仅提到了3D投影,没有提到电视技术。答案:A.阅读七选五(2021河南六市重点高中联考)Handwriting is quickly becoming a dying art.
