Welcome to the unit
1.导入:The general idea of this period
The pictures and the questions of this part make students take notice of the life in the future. With the rapid development of science and technology, some of our wildest dreams could come true in the future.
Reading
体验:Reading comprehension
The article in this section is a business proposal which introduces a new business idea. Ask students to skim and scan the proposal and try to find answers to the three questions in Part A. Remind students only to focus on the most important information needed to answer these questions. Meanwhile ask students to pay attention to the structure of the passage.
Pay attention to the structure of the article. Organize students into groups of four. Ask them to discuss this article and analyze the structure. Also, students need to conclude what the main idea of each part of the article is.

Para 2----7 ____________________________________________________________

Para8 ____________________________________________________________
Activities and discuss
1.After students have worked out the main ideas for the different parts, to further strengthen the comprehension, ask students to answer the following question and fill in the chart according to the proposal.
How can RealCine excite the viewers' five senses?
SenseThings neededEffects in RealCine
sightspecial VR headsetsViewers can see a world of 3D animation all around them.
soundspecial VR headsetsViewers can hear the sounds clearly all around them.
smellsmall opening in the headsetSmells are given out.
toughspecial glovesViewers can tough people and objects in the film.
tastea straw sensorSpecial food and drink chemicals are places into the viewers’mouth.
2. Then check the answers as a class. If time allows, organize a class presentation. Ask students to discuss and use the information in the chart above to give a brief presentation about virtual reality and RealCine.
3. Present the following sentences to students. Ask them to read each one and think about the characteristics of the language used in this article.
I believe you will be amazed by the RealCine experience, and will agree that this is an extraordinary technology that must be developed further.
Viewers will be surprised at how real it feels.
RealCine works by making the viewers feel that they are actually in the film.
I am sure you will agree that RealCine provides a fantastic opportunity for the film-making industry.
Ask students:
As a decision maker, do you think you would finally be persuaded to invest or develop RealCine? Why or why not?
What do you think of the language used tn these sentences?
Tell them that the purpose of a business proposal is to plan or suggest a new idea. The goal is to help the customers or the investors make their decisions. Therefore, clear and persuasive language is often used.
4. Ask students to read the Reading strategy. Tell students that a successful business proposal needs to be objective and that detailed information and convincing facts or examples together with the passive voice are frequently used to achieve this purpose. Therefore, when reading a business proposal, they can focus on these features.
5. Ask students to read the article again and underline the sentences using the passive voice in the passage. Give some explanations why the passive voice is used. This will help students get a better understanding of how to write a proposal.
6. Have students complete Part D. The meanings of the words in Part D should not be difficult for students to identify after they have read through the passage several times. Ask students to refer to the text as they complete Part D. This exercise can help students understand the text better.
7 Draw students' attention to Part E. Part E is a reply to the proposal, which serves as a summary of the article about RealCine. Have students complete it individually first and then check their answers with the whole class.
Post-reading activities
Use the following activities to help students deepen their understanding of RealCine and develop their speaking ability as well.
?Organize students into groups of four. Ask them to hold a group discussion. Imagine what special effect they hope to have if they can see a popular film like 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in RealCine.
Do you think watching a Harry Potter film in RealCine is more exciting and interesting than in an ordinary cinema? Why or why not?
After the discussion, ask each group to make an advertisement poster for this imaginary virtual reality film. Then they may make an oral presentation of their advertisements in class. Every student can vote and choose the best one from all the advertisements. If possible, ask them to state their reasons for their choice.
?Organize students into groups of six. Ask them to write an introduction to ReaICine. In the introduction, they may state their own opinions on RealCine.
?Organize students into two groups. Ask them to hold a debate activity.
Those who support virtual reality believe that, with this technology, people can do almost everything, even things that cannot be realized in normal life. We don't need to travel any more or spend so much time with friends any more. Virtual reality can provide any necessary features that we need itl our life. Others insist that, real life and interpersonal communication should never be replaced by imaginary scenes. People should take off the headsets and experience the real life themselves. What do you think of these two opinions? State your reasons.
If time permits, ask students to do Parts A1 and A2 on page 96 in their Workbook, so they will be more familiar with the text and the words and expressions learnt in this part. Or they can do the two exercises after class as homework.
Part F aims at consolidating students'speaking ability. Ask students to read the instructions for Part F and discuss wit their partners the questions closely related to new technology. Encourage students to share their opinions and report their answers to the class.
Ask students first to read Part A and then to do Part B in the Writing section of this unit on page 103 in thei Workbook. The passage in Part A is a sample. After reading it, they will know how to write an article about the future school in Part B.
Summary
Realcine works by making the viewers feel that they are actually in the film. unlike ordinary cinema, RealCine excites all five of people’s senses: sight, hearing, smell, tough, and even taste.VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and make them work harder to make their dreams come true.Vr can also do something that could never be achieved in real world.RealCine will certainly provide a fantastic opportunity for the film-making industry.

4)not only ….but also
一、主要用法:
1、连接主语:
Not only I but also Tom and Mary are found of watching television.
不仅我,而且汤姆和玛丽都喜欢看电视。
由于not only A but also B 句式的重点在B上,所以谓语动词一般要与B保持人称和数的一致。
2、连接谓语:
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.
英国人和美国人不但语言相同,而且有很多相同的风俗习惯。
注意not only…but also连接的动词一般不重复,这与汉语不同。如汉语说“我不仅懂英语,而且懂俄语”,英语则说“I know not only English but also Russian”,而不说“I not only know English but also know Russian”.再如:“气体不仅改变形状,而且改变体积”,英译为“A gas changes not only in shape but also in volume.”(注意介词常重复)
3、连接宾语:
The problem for the recipient was trying to guess not only who the sender was, but also what his secret feelings might be.
收信人不仅要尽力猜出是谁的,还要猜测寄信人的内心有什么想法。
4、连接表语:
Shakespeare was not only a writer but (also) an actor.
莎士比亚不仅是一位剧作家,而且是一位演员。
5、连接宾语补足语:
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
浅色和鲜艳的颜色不但使人看了高兴,也会使人更加活泼。
6、连接状语:
If your friend reminds you kindly of your faults, take what he says not merely pleasantly but thankfully.
如果你的朋友善意的指明你的缺点,你不但要欣然接受,而且要心怀感激之情。
7、连接从句:
He didn’t let us off the book until we had proved not only that we know what an organism was bur also that we had the fortitude to stand up for the truth.
直到我们证明了我们不仅知道什么是生物体,而且具有坚持真理的不屈不挠的精神时,他这才放过我们。
8、连接定语:
Man has become master not only of the sky but also of the space.
人类不仅征服了太空,而且征服了太空。
9、连接句子
I not only heard it, but (also) I saw it.
我不仅听到、而且看到了它。
Not only…but also连接句子时,not only可以置于句首表示强调,这是第一分句要采用倒装结构。例如:
Not only has he a first-class brain but also he is a tremendously hard worker.
它不仅有着头等的头脑,而且工作很能吃苦。
Not only had the poor man been arrested but he had been sent to prison as well.
这个可怜人不仅被逮捕,而且被投进监狱。
Not only do the professors have their own ideas on the matter, but the students have theirs too.
对这件事不仅教授们有自己的看法,学生们也有自己的想法。
10、用于it is…that强调结构:
It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager.
现在,不仅科学家和医生需要长时期的专门训练,计算机专家、会计师和企业经理也需要这种训练。
二、not only…but的省略及其变体
1、not only…but also中的also可以省略。有人认为该句型所连接的第二部分最高级形容词或它所表示的范围、程度、影响等超过第一部分时,常将also省略。例如:
He was not only a successful writer but (also) the greatest poet of his time.
它不仅是一位成功的作家,而且还是他那个时代最伟大的诗人。
Not only do they suffer less pain than most women in labor, but the town boasts an unusually low rate of infant mortality.
这不仅使她们比大多数的妇女受痛苦,,而且是城市婴儿死亡率大大降低。
2、not only…but also句型一般只可以省略also,但在连接句子时,有时也可见到省略but甚至but also的情形。例如:
Not only was I tired, I was also cold.
我不光困倦,还感到很冷。(省去了but)
Since moisture is needed for rain, dry air in the morning not only allows the spider to get an early start, is also means a dry day.
有了湿度才会下雨,因此,早晨空气干燥不仅使蜘蛛早点开始结网,而且意味着这一天不会下雨。(省去了but)
Not only has she been an excellent wife, she has been a better husband than I’ll never be.
她不仅是一个极其出色的妻子,而且是一个我永远也做不到的好丈夫。(省去了but also)
3、not only…but also的形式比较固定,但也会出现but与also被分开的情形。例如:Not only the mother but the children are also sick.
Not only is his right lung affected but his left lung is also.
4、not only A but also B的替代式常见的还有not only a but B …as well, not only A but B too, not merely A but also B, not just A but also B, not…alone. ..but等。例如:
In jurisprudence it is a well-known principle that justice should not merely be done but should also be seen to be done.
在法理学方面,人所共知的原则是:对受害者不仅应该公正对待,而且应当让人们看到他得到了公正的对待。
Not poets alone, nor artists, nor that superior order of mind which arrogates to itself all refinement, feel this, but dogs and all men.
不仅使人,艺术家以及那些自命不凡、思想杰出的人觉得如此,连狗和普通人也有同感。
三、其他注意事项:
1、“not only A but also B”结构中的A和B通常是同等成分。由于同一成分常常由同一词类的词来担任,所以A 与B 常常也是同一词性,但是,也有A与B属于不同词性的情形。例如:“He is not only very clever, but also a very hard worker, and he likes to do everything well.”(他不但聪明,而且能下功夫。他喜欢把每件事都做得很好。)其中A是形容词,B是名词,但两者均在句中作表语,因此仍是正确的句子。然而,在“He not only plays the piano, but also the violin.”一句中,A是动词,B是名词,不是同一成分,因此语法学家认为此句有点欠妥,至少在书面语中就是如此。如改为“He plays not only the piano, but also the violin.”就无懈可击了,再看下面的例子:
The surprise grant not only enabled Dad to finish A&T, but to graduate first in his class.
这笔意外的奖学金不仅是我的父亲能读完农业和技术学院,而且毕业成绩名列榜首。
2、有人认为,not only…but also 不能用于否定句。汉语中用于否定句中的“不但…而且”在英语中要用as well as表示。如“不但我不想看戏,而且他也不想看戏”可译作“He, as well as I, doesn’t want to see the play. ”不过,这条规则也有例外,请看下面的例子:
Not only don’t I know the population of Nepal, I don’t know where in god’s world it is!
我不但不知道尼泊尔人口,而且连它究竟在哪里也不知道!
这个例句有几个共同点:都是连接否定分句,都是倒装句,都没有用but also。下面一例出自一位美国作家之手,所不同的是not only…but连接的是并列谓语,第一个动词是不定的,第二个动词则是肯定的:
Nonetheless, as he described Mary’s attitudes her accomplishments, he found himself wishing that she cared more about the police side of his life than she seemed to, that she might understand it as intimately, say, as the woman opposite him. But this motion seemed to him so disloyal to Mary that he not only did not articulate it, but at once tried to suppress it.
Notes
1 Upon reaching the top of the mountain, a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement will be experienced.
The preposition upon here means 'at or immediately after the time or occasion of'. The preposition on can also be used to express the same meaning.
Upon/On his arrival in Paris, the famous film star was recognized and surrounded by his fans.
Upon/On hearing of the death of his parents, he cried for hours.
2 Special gloves are also worn so that people and objects in the film can be touched.
Here so that means 'with the aim that', which is used to introduce a clause showing a purpose.
She worked hard so that everything would be ready by 6 o'clock.
So that can also mean 'with the result that', which is used to introduce a clause
showing a result.
Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he had left.
3 To add to the virtual world of RealCine, smells are given out through small openings in the headsets.
Here add to means 'to increase'.
The West Lake adds to the beauty of the city of Hangzhou.
This phrase can also be used like add ...to...
If you add twelve to eighty-five, you get ninety-seven.
4 In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and make them work harder to make their dreams come true.
Here it refers to the subject clause 'that VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and ...'
When the subject is a clause, an empty subject it is often used, and the order of the sentence is normally changed.
Compare each pair of sentences as follows:
What she looks like doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what she looks like.
That income tax should be abolished has actually been suggested.
It has actually been suggested that income tax should be abolished.
5 An argument has been put forward that some viewers will be disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real.
Here that is used to introduce an appositive clause 'some viewers will be
disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real.' This clause refers to 'an argument' and that cannot be omitted.
Your belief that things will improve is too optimistic.
Your suggestion that we should pay more attention to our table manners is a good one.

英文动词有主动语态 Active Voice 和被动语态 Passive Voice 之分。如果主语是动作或状态的「发出者」,动词就用主动语态;如果主语是动作或状态的「承受者」,动词就用被动语态。
例如:
1. John encouraged Mary.?约翰鼓励玛莉。?
2. Mary was encouraged by John.?玛莉受到约翰鼓励。?
※ 第一句的动词 "encouraged" 是主动语态;第二句的动词
"was encouraged"是被动语态。
动词被动语态的基本形态是:
助动词BE + 及物动词的过去分词(-ed分词)
动词的被动语态通常有六种时、体形式:即一般现在时、一般过去时、现在进行体、过去进行体、现在完成体和过去完成体。
1.Simple Present Tense
主动语态: I teach him.
被动语态: He is taught by me.
2. Simple Past Tense
主动语态: I taught him yesterday.
被动语态: He was taught by me yesterday.
3.Present Continuous Tense
主动语态: I am teaching him.
被动语态: He is being taught by me.
4.Past Continuous Tense
主动语态: I was teaching him when you came.
被动语态: He was being taught by me when you came.
5. Present Perfect Tense
主动语态: I have taught him.
被动语态: He has been taught by me.
6. Past Perfect Tense
主动语态: I had taught him before you came.
被动语态: He had been taught by me before you came.
一般将来时 Simple Future Tense 也常常有这种被动语态形式
主动语态: I shall teach him tomorrow.
被动语态: He will be taught by me tomorrow.
动词由主动语态变为被动语态的步骤:
1. 先找出谓语动词;
2. 再找出谓语动词后的宾语;
3. 把宾语用作被动语态中的主语;
4. 注意人称、时态和数的变化。
例:1. Bruce writes a letter every week.
→A letter is written by Bruce every week.
2. Li Lei mended the broken bike this morning.
→The broken bike was mended by Li Lei this morning.
3. He has written two novels so far.
→Two novels have been written by him so far.
4. They will plant ten trees tomorrow.
→Ten trees will be planted by them tomorrow.
5. Lucy is writing a letter now.
→A letter is being written by Lucy now.
6. You must lock the door when you leave.
→the door must be locked when you leave.
三、 使用被动语态应注意的几个问题:
1. 不及物动词无被动语态。
What will happen in 100 years.
The dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago.
2. 有些动词用主动形式表示被动意义。
This pen writes well.
This new book sells well.
3. 感官动词或使役动词使用省略to的动词不定式,主动语态中不带to ,但变为被动语态时,须加上to 。
例:make somebody do something
→somebody+ be +made to do something
see somebody do something
→somebody +be +seen to do something
A girl saw my wallet drop when she passed by.
→My wallet was seen to drop by a girl when she passed by.
The boss made the little boy do heavy work.
→The little boy was made to do heavy work by the boss.
4. 如果是接双宾语的动词改为被动语态时,直接宾语(物)作主语,那么动词后要用介词,这个介词是由与其搭配的动词决定。
He gave me a book.
→A book was given to me by him.
He showed me a ticket.
→A ticket was shown to me by him.
My father bought me a new bike.
→A new bike was bought for me by my father.
5. 一些动词短语用于被动语态时,动词短语应当看作一个整体,而不能丢掉其中的介词或副词。
We can’t laugh him.
→He can’t be laugh by us.
He listens to the radio every day.
→The radio is listened to by him every day.
The nurse is taking care of the sick man.
→The sick man is being taken care of by the nurse.
只要你掌握了以上一些方法,
使用被动语态的一般因由
1. 不易说出动作或状态的「发出者」
例如:
This building was completed in 1980.
* 由谁建成,不易说出。
2. 不便说出动作或状态的「发出者」
例如:
The meeting has been postponed till Friday.
3. 动作或状态的「承受者」比「发出者」更需强调
例如:
A press conference was held last night.
4. 为了修辞
例如:
The teacher loves the students and is loved by them.
态: A book was given him by me.
含有情态动词的被动语态构成:Modal verbs and the passive voice
情态动词+ be + 及物动词的过去分词
Students will learn how to use modal verbs in the passive voice to express ability, possibility, duty, permission, etc. They are also expected to learn to use modal verbs in the passive voice in the present and the past tenses.
Young trees must be watered often.
Your mistakes should be corrected right now.
The door may be locked inside.
Your homework can be handed in tomorrow.
Verbs often used in the passive voice
Here students will learn some of the verbs that are often used in the passive voice. And they should know that these verbs function as adjectives.
The teacher may begin this part by asking students to complete some sentences by choosing one of the two words given. The words in bold are the correct answers. For example,
1.The children are getting about the coming holiday. (exciting; excited)
2.Don't you get of arguing about the same thing all the time? (tiring; tired)
3.Joan isn't very good at Physics, so everyone was when she passed the exam.(surprising; surprised)
4.All of us were very last Saturday because our team lost the game.(disappointing; disappointed)
5.It was snowing last night. So everything is with snow this morning.(covering; covered)
6.My parents are quite with my test results. (pleasing; pleased)
7.Both of them are with the arrangement. (satisfying; satisfied)
Ask students why they choose the verb-ed forms but not verb-ing forms.

Situation 1: …
European Shuttle Prototype Lands Safely
导读:欧洲航空防务与空间公司“凤凰号”航天飞机模型在瑞典成功试飞。
Sun, May 09, 2004
STOCKHOLM, Sweden(瑞典首都-斯德哥尔摩) - An unmanned prototype of a European space shuttle glided safely back to Earth on Saturday after being dropped from nearly 8,000 feet up by a helicopter.
Guided by Global Positioning System satellites(全球定位卫星), the German-designed EADS(欧洲航空防务与空间公司) Phoenix was dropped by a heavy-duty helicopter over Sweden at 9:45 a.m. and "landed perfectly" 90 seconds later on a test runway north of Stockholm, a project spokeswoman said.
"Everyone here is ecstatic," said Johanna Bergstroem-Roos, of the North European Aerospace Test Range in Kiruna, 770 miles north of Stockholm.
"This gives us wind in our sails."
The Phoenix shuttle, along with the Ariane 5 rocket, represents the European Space Agency's hope for sending astronauts into space, but project managers concede a full-size version will not be ready until sometime between 2015 and 2020.
The test flight was originally planned for Friday but was postponed so technicians could finish analyzing data from an earlier test of the vehicle's onboard computers this week.
The next step likely will be to drop the prototype from higher altitudes, with the help of a high-altitude balloon, Bergstroem-Roos said. The finished shuttle must be capable of gliding to land from an altitude of 80 miles, she said.
Situation 2: …As motorways become more and more clogged up with traffic, a new generation of flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways.
That is the verdict of engineers from the US space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters travelling by "skycar".
These could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by Boeing research and development.
However, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market.
Efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful.
Such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them.
"When you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle that's hard to use," said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle (PAV) division of the vehicle systems program at Nasa's Langley Research Center in Hampton, US.
But Boeing is also considering how to police the airways - and prevent total pandemonium - if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.
"The neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what would the vehicle itself look like," said Dick Paul, a vice president with Phantom Works, Boeing's research and development arm.
"But we're trying to think through all the ramifications of what would it take to deploy a fleet of these."
Past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic.
Nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel.
Small planes are generally costly, loud, require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people.
But within five years, Nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000 (£55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.
Although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. Technology would automate many of the pilot's functions.
This Small Aircraft Transportation System (Sats) would divert pressure away from the "hub-and-spoke" model of air travel.
Hub-and-spoke refers to the typically US model of passengers being processed through large "hub" airports and then on to secondary flights to "spoke" airports near their final destination. 由于高速公路上的交通堵塞情况越来越严重,一种能够载人穿梭在“空中高速路”上的新一代“飞车”将成为需要。
这就是美国国家航空航天局和一些航空公司的工程师们的意见,他们预测未来人类将会乘坐“飞车”旅行。
这些车可能会和图片中见到的波音公司研发中心设计的概念飞车很相像。
然而,这样的交通工具可能需要25年左右的时间才能投放市场。
人类在过去制造飞车的努力一直都不是很成功。
这样的交通工具汽车耗资不菲,而且要求驾驶者具备像训练有素的飞行员一样的驾驶技巧;不仅如此,在研制过程中还面临工程学方面的严峻挑战。
马克?摩尔是美国国家航空航天局兰利研究中心(位于汉普顿)汽车系统项目组“个人空中交通工具(PAV)”小组的负责人,他说:“当你试图将各个方面组合起来时,得到的是一辆最糟糕的车:非常笨重,速度又慢,价格还高,总之驾驶起来很不方便。”
但波音公司同时也在考虑,在上千辆“飞车”进入空中的情况下如何对空中通道进行管理,防止交通陷入彻底的混乱。
波音公司研发部门“幻影工程队”的副总裁迪克?保罗说:“最关键和最精彩的是设计出这种交通工具本身,但是我们也在全力考虑当这样一支车队投入运行后可能出现的所有情况。”
关于如何解决这个问题,以往就有一些建议,包括使用人工智能系统来防止空中交通工具之间发生碰撞。
B.一篇阅读文章。
Gauri Nanda sees a wearable computer as a...handbag -- one that's built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fabric, with tiny computer chips embedded in it.
Assembled together with Velcro that conducts electricity, these pieces form a bag that looks, feels, and weighs like your typical leather purse.
That's where the similarities end: This bag can wirelessly keep tabs on your belongings and remind you, just as you're about to leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you grab an umbrella -- or your sunshades. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf.
Sure, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices, part of next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Unit shipments of such wearable computers -- purses, watches, shirts -- should rise from 261,000 last year to 1.39 million in 2008, according to the tech research firm IDC.
Powering this market are advancements in design and in fabric-embedded electronics. Over the last two years, DuPont (DD ) created new fibers called Aracon, made of Kevlar, that are superstrong, can conduct electricity, and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And chipmaker Infineon (IFX ) developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty cycle.
As a result, these new wearables are a far cry from the clunky and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires, type on their stomachs, and sport an unseemly display on their foreheads. "Cyborg computing was very clunky, very bulky machines that people didn't want to carry around," says Nanda, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. "Our bags feel and look like bags."
Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years, Nanda expects it will cost around $150, which is the price of an average leather purse. Only "it's fun, you can rip apart and put together a computer," she says.
Here's how the bag works: You place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that you've forgotten to take your wallet. In turn, sensors on your purse's handles will notify the computer that you've picked up the purse and are ready to go.
Such unobtrusive, inconspicuous, and fun devices should grab more than 80% of the total wearable computing market by 2008, while cyborgian wearable PCs will remain a niche, says IDC analyst Kevin Burden. Already, these new kinds of wearables are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring -- and even, increasingly, for consumers at large.
Wearables are also slowly making their way into the auto-repair market. A company called Microvision (MVIS ) recently introduced its Nomad head-mounted display. It covers one eye, but it's see-through, allowing auto technicians to examine the innards of a car and check them against on-screen computer drawings at the same time. It comes as a baseball cap clip-on, to be more unobtrusive.
So far, it's a hit: At Jim Fisher Volvo dealership in Portland, Ore., which has been testing the system for about seven months, productivity of technicians went up 10% to 20%, says Service Manager John Prosser. Better yet, customers talking to technicians who are wearing these contraptions also are more likely to agree to repairs, pushing revenue up 15% to 18%. Says Prosser: "This makes [technicians] want to get involved and to cross this bridge of reluctance" in using a new technology.
Indeed, many more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years -- making for a booming market for wearable computers that don't look like something out of an old Star Trek episode.
最新型的可穿着电脑产品在外观方面与普通衣物几乎没有什么两样,而售价的降低和功能的丰富也许会使它成为未来人类不可或缺的工具之一。
The latest generation of these ever-smarter garments look like ordinary clothes, assembled together with Velcro that conducts electricity, these pieces form a bag that looks, feels, and weighs like your typical leather purse.
你能否想象一台仅仅4英寸大小的电脑?用户可以方便地随身携带,重量与一件普通的皮夹克差不多。它,就是“可穿着式电脑”。最新型的可穿着电脑产品在外观方面与普通衣物几乎没有什么两样,而售价的降低和功能的丰富也许会使它成为未来人类不可或缺的工具之一。
据美国《商业周刊》3月8日报道,这种“小家伙”可以帮助用户通过无线方式与主人的其他财物保持联系,并随时随地提醒用户一些生活细节。当用户离开房间的时候,它会乖巧地提醒主人不要忘记携带钱包;在主人出行时,它会自动查询天气预报,帮助主人做到未雨绸缪;它甚至还可以在主人穿着的围脖中加入喜欢的歌曲。
的确,这些高科技的电脑更多情况下只能出现在科幻小说的情节当中。不过,根据市场调查机构IDC提供的预测数据,下一代“可穿着式电脑”产品在未来几年中将成为市场上的常见商品。IDC预测,这种高科技产品的销量,包括电脑钱包、电脑手表、电脑T恤,将从去年的26万台提高到2008年的139万台。
高科技电脑产品的背后都有着坚实的技术支柱。过去两年中,美国杜邦公司发明了一种新型的纤维材质,名为Aracon。这种材料具有超高强度并可导电,最重要的是,它可以被任意地折叠并制作成衣服。芯片制造商英飞凌(Infineon)公司也开发了一款专门用于可穿着电脑产品的芯片包,这种芯片包可以在衣物电脑被水洗的过程中保护芯片的安全。
与上一代昂贵的可穿着电脑不同,新型产品在售价方面更加廉价。IDC预计,在未来两到三年内,可穿着电脑的平均售价将降至每台150美元。这个价格已接近普通皮夹克的售价,为产品的普及奠定了坚实的基础。
目前,这种产品已被应用于医疗服务领域。美国经营健康产品的Apex公司计划在本月晚些时候,将这种可穿着式电脑应用于帮助用户减肥方面,此款产品可随时计算出用户所消耗的热量并科学地调节减肥者的膳食结构;加州一些医学院及制药公司则将可穿着电脑应用于病人实时监控方面,以便让医生随时观察病人的心跳、血压、呼吸等数据。
随着可穿着电脑产品的广泛应用,也许再过几年电影《星球大战》中描述的那种科学世界将真正来临。

A.单项填空
答案及解析:
1、A the European 表类指;a foreign language为泛指
2、C 在like/ love/ hate it when… 这个结构中,it可以解释为形式宾语,但是与我们所熟悉的it作形式宾语的复合结构不同的是,在它之后没有形容词或名词作宾语补足语。
3、A 作blame的宾语,所以都应当用宾格形式。
4、B 从所提供的情景the more you learn,并结合所给的选项可以确定这是“the+比较级+陈述句,the+比较级+陈述句”的句型,表示“越……越……”。这句话的意思是:我认为,教育是关于学习的事,你学得越多,你对生活准备得就越充分。
5、A 倍数词+as…as意为“是……多少倍”
6、C purpose目的,意图; desire愿望,请求; attempt尝试; intention意图,意向,目的。从题意“他已经仔细准备了英语考试以确保一次通过考试”可以看出C是正确答案。
7、D 第一空为现在完成时,与一段时间状语连用(for eight years);第二空:在一次晚会上认识之前就见过,正是“过去的过去”的一个动作,故选 D
8、根据woke(wake的过去式)可以判断,这里谈论的与“现在”无关,因此可排除B和D两项。“I”是在读书期间睡着的(while reading),而不是在之前睡着的,所以项也不恰当。
9、B 句意:因为Lucy失业了,所以她在考虑重返校园,但她现在还没有决定。根据题意说话者再说现在的情况,因此排除A、C、D三项,B属现在完成进行时,表示现在的事,进行时强调“考虑”这个动作的“未完成性”,所以是最佳答案。
10、C 句意:北京市市长说所有北京奥林匹克建筑将于2006年完成。此题考查英语动词的语态和时态,很显然本题应改用被动语态,因此排除B、D;根据时间状语by 2006,应选择将来完成时,因此选C
11、C 根据even since(从那时,一直到现在),所以应该用现在完成时,排除A、B、D项。
12、D 病人被治疗,又有时间this year,应用现在完成时的被动语态。
13、C 整个句子是基于过去时态,A和D两项为现在时态显然不对。再由句意“Susan决定不在家里,因为她不想让父母知道她正在做什么”可知还没有做完,故C项正确,进行体有未完成性、暂时性的特点。
14、B 现在“this open sea”仍然被称作“the Pacific”,属于客观事实,故用一般现在时。
15、C 本题考查非谓语动词作状语。先排除B项,因为B项是谓语动词形式,不可作状语;A、D两项为不定式形式放在句首时常作目的状语,这显然与本题逻辑上不符。
16、D 句意:据说Barbara的姐姐在上学的路上从自行车上摔了下来,左腿上的很重。首先排除A、C项,因不符合习惯用法。Hurt为及物动词,故应选D这个过去分词短语作结果状语。
17、C just now 是表示过去的时间状语。情态动词在表示过去发生的事时,必须用“情态动词+should+过去分词”的形式。所以只能在选项B或C中确定答案。mustn’t have eaten是一个错误选项,因为“must+动词”表示“禁止”,不表示判断或推断。这句话的意思是:哦,我觉得胃不舒服,我刚刚不该吃那么多炸鸡。

Welcome to the unit
1.导入:The general idea of this period
The pictures and the questions of this part make students take notice of the life in the future. With the rapid development of science and technology, some of our wildest dreams could come true in the future.
Reading
体验:Reading comprehension
The article in this section is a business proposal which introduces a new business idea. Ask students to skim and scan the proposal and try to find answers to the three questions in Part A. Remind students only to focus on the most important information needed to answer these questions. Meanwhile ask students to pay attention to the structure of the passage.
Pay attention to the structure of the article. Organize students into groups of four. Ask them to discuss this article and analyze the structure. Also, students need to conclude what the main idea of each part of the article is.
main ideas
Para 1 ____________________________________________________________
Para 2----7 ____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
Para8 ____________________________________________________________
Activities and discuss
1.After students have worked out the main ideas for the different parts, to further strengthen the comprehension, ask students to answer the following question and fill in the chart according to the proposal.
How can RealCine excite the viewers' five senses?
SenseThings neededEffects in RealCine
sightspecial VR headsetsViewers can see a world of 3D animation all around them.
soundspecial VR headsetsViewers can hear the sounds clearly all around them.
smellsmall opening in the headsetSmells are given out.
toughspecial glovesViewers can tough people and objects in the film.
tastea straw sensorSpecial food and drink chemicals are places into the viewers’mouth.
2. Then check the answers as a class. If time allows, organize a class presentation. Ask students to discuss and use the information in the chart above to give a brief presentation about virtual reality and RealCine.
3. Present the following sentences to students. Ask them to read each one and think about the characteristics of the language used in this article.
I believe you will be amazed by the RealCine experience, and will agree that this is an extraordinary technology that must be developed further.
Viewers will be surprised at how real it feels.
RealCine works by making the viewers feel that they are actually in the film.
I am sure you will agree that RealCine provides a fantastic opportunity for the film-making industry.
Ask students:
As a decision maker, do you think you would finally be persuaded to invest or develop RealCine? Why or why not?
What do you think of the language used tn these sentences?
Tell them that the purpose of a business proposal is to plan or suggest a new idea. The goal is to help the customers or the investors make their decisions. Therefore, clear and persuasive language is often used.
4. Ask students to read the Reading strategy. Tell students that a successful business proposal needs to be objective and that detailed information and convincing facts or examples together with the passive voice are frequently used to achieve this purpose. Therefore, when reading a business proposal, they can focus on these features.
5. Ask students to read the article again and underline the sentences using the passive voice in the passage. Give some explanations why the passive voice is used. This will help students get a better understanding of how to write a proposal.
6. Have students complete Part D. The meanings of the words in Part D should not be difficult for students to identify after they have read through the passage several times. Ask students to refer to the text as they complete Part D. This exercise can help students understand the text better.
7 Draw students' attention to Part E. Part E is a reply to the proposal, which serves as a summary of the article about RealCine. Have students complete it individually first and then check their answers with the whole class.
Post-reading activities
Use the following activities to help students deepen their understanding of RealCine and develop their speaking ability as well.
?Organize students into groups of four. Ask them to hold a group discussion. Imagine what special effect they hope to have if they can see a popular film like 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in RealCine.
Do you think watching a Harry Potter film in RealCine is more exciting and interesting than in an ordinary cinema? Why or why not?
After the discussion, ask each group to make an advertisement poster for this imaginary virtual reality film. Then they may make an oral presentation of their advertisements in class. Every student can vote and choose the best one from all the advertisements. If possible, ask them to state their reasons for their choice.
?Organize students into groups of six. Ask them to write an introduction to ReaICine. In the introduction, they may state their own opinions on RealCine.
?Organize students into two groups. Ask them to hold a debate activity.
Those who support virtual reality believe that, with this technology, people can do almost everything, even things that cannot be realized in normal life. We don't need to travel any more or spend so much time with friends any more. Virtual reality can provide any necessary features that we need itl our life. Others insist that, real life and interpersonal communication should never be replaced by imaginary scenes. People should take off the headsets and experience the real life themselves. What do you think of these two opinions? State your reasons.
If time permits, ask students to do Parts A1 and A2 on page 96 in their Workbook, so they will be more familiar with the text and the words and expressions learnt in this part. Or they can do the two exercises after class as homework.
Part F aims at consolidating students'speaking ability. Ask students to read the instructions for Part F and discuss wit their partners the questions closely related to new technology. Encourage students to share their opinions and report their answers to the class.
Ask students first to read Part A and then to do Part B in the Writing section of this unit on page 103 in thei Workbook. The passage in Part A is a sample. After reading it, they will know how to write an article about the future school in Part B.
Summary
Realcine works by making the viewers feel that they are actually in the film. unlike ordinary cinema, RealCine excites all five of people’s senses: sight, hearing, smell, tough, and even taste.VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and make them work harder to make their dreams come true.Vr can also do something that could never be achieved in real world.RealCine will certainly provide a fantastic opportunity for the film-making industry.

4)not only ….but also
一、主要用法:
1、连接主语:
Not only I but also Tom and Mary are found of watching television.
不仅我,而且汤姆和玛丽都喜欢看电视。
由于not only A but also B 句式的重点在B上,所以谓语动词一般要与B保持人称和数的一致。
2、连接谓语:
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.
英国人和美国人不但语言相同,而且有很多相同的风俗习惯。
注意not only…but also连接的动词一般不重复,这与汉语不同。如汉语说“我不仅懂英语,而且懂俄语”,英语则说“I know not only English but also Russian”,而不说“I not only know English but also know Russian”.再如:“气体不仅改变形状,而且改变体积”,英译为“A gas changes not only in shape but also in volume.”(注意介词常重复)
3、连接宾语:
The problem for the recipient was trying to guess not only who the sender was, but also what his secret feelings might be.
收信人不仅要尽力猜出是谁的,还要猜测寄信人的内心有什么想法。

8、连接定语:
Man has become master not only of the sky but also of the space.
人类不仅征服了太空,而且征服了太空。
9、连接句子
I not only heard it, but (also) I saw it.
我不仅听到、而且看到了它。
Not only…but also连接句子时,not only可以置于句首表示强调,这是第一分句要采用倒装结构。例如:
Not only has he a first-class brain but also he is a tremendously hard worker.
它不仅有着头等的头脑,而且工作很能吃苦。
Not only had the poor man been arrested but he had been sent to prison as well.
这个可怜人不仅被逮捕,而且被投进监狱。
Not only do the professors have their own ideas on the matter, but the students have theirs too.
对这件事不仅教授们有自己的看法,学生们也有自己的想法。
10、用于it is…that强调结构:
It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager.
现在,不仅科学家和医生需要长时期的专门训练,计算机专家、会计师和企业经理也需要这种训练。
二、not only…but的省略及其变体
1、not only…but also中的also可以省略。有人认为该句型所连接的第二部分最高级形容词或它所表示的范围、程度、影响等超过第一部分时,常将also省略。例如:
He was not only a successful writer but (also) the greatest poet of his time.
它不仅是一位成功的作家,而且还是他那个时代最伟大的诗人。
Not only do they suffer less pain than most women in labor, but the town boasts an unusually low rate of infant mortality.
这不仅使她们比大多数的妇女受痛苦,,而且是城市婴儿死亡率大大降低。
2、not only…but also句型一般只可以省略also,但在连接句子时,有时也可见到省略but甚至but also的情形。例如:
Not only was I tired, I was also cold.
我不光困倦,还感到很冷。(省去了but)
Since moisture is needed for rain, dry air in the morning not only allows the spider to get an early start, is also means a dry day.
有了湿度才会下雨,因此,早晨空气干燥不仅使蜘蛛早点开始结网,而且意味着这一天不会下雨。(省去了but)
Not only has she been an excellent wife, she has been a better husband than I’ll never be.
她不仅是一个极其出色的妻子,而且是一个我永远也做不到的好丈夫。(省去了but also)
3、not only…but also的形式比较固定,但也会出现but与also被分开的情形。例如:Not only the mother but the children are also sick.
Not only is his right lung affected but his left lung is also.
4、not only A but also B的替代式常见的还有not only a but B …as well, not only A but B too, not merely A but also B, not just A but also B, not…alone. ..but等。例如:
In jurisprudence it is a well-known principle that justice should not merely be done but should also be seen to be done.
在法理学方面,人所共知的原则是:对受害者不仅应该公正对待,而且应当让人们看到他得到了公正的对待。
Not poets alone, nor artists, nor that superior order of mind which arrogates to itself all refinement, feel this, but dogs and all men.
不仅使人,艺术家以及那些自命不凡、思想杰出的人觉得如此,连狗和普通人也有同感。
三、其他注意事项:
1、“not only A but also B”结构中的A和B通常是同等成分。由于同一成分常常由同一词类的词来担任,所以A 与B 常常也是同一词性,但是,也有A与B属于不同词性的情形。例如:“He is not only very clever, but also a very hard worker, and he likes to do everything well.”(他不但聪明,而且能下功夫。他喜欢把每件事都做得很好。)其中A是形容词,B是名词,但两者均在句中作表语,因此仍是正确的句子。然而,在“He not only plays the piano, but also the violin.”一句中,A是动词,B是名词,不是同一成分,因此语法学家认为此句有点欠妥,至少在书面语中就是如此。如改为“He plays not only the piano, but also the violin.”就无懈可击了,再看下面的例子:
The surprise grant not only enabled Dad to finish A&T, but to graduate first in his class.
这笔意外的奖学金不仅是我的父亲能读完农业和技术学院,而且毕业成绩名列榜首。
2、有人认为,not only…but also 不能用于否定句。汉语中用于否定句中的“不但…而且”在英语中要用as well as表示。如“不但我不想看戏,而且他也不想看戏”可译作“He, as well as I, doesn’t want to see the play. ”不过,这条规则也有例外,请看下面的例子:
Not only don’t I know the population of Nepal, I don’t know where in god’s world it is!
我不但不知道尼泊尔人口,而且连它究竟在哪里也不知道!
这个例句有几个共同点:都是连接否定分句,都是倒装句,都没有用but also。下面一例出自一位美国作家之手,所不同的是not only…but连接的是并列谓语,第一个动词是不定的,第二个动词则是肯定的:
Nonetheless, as he described Mary’s attitudes her accomplishments, he found himself wishing that she cared more about the police side of his life than she seemed to, that she might understand it as intimately, say, as the woman opposite him. But this motion seemed to him so disloyal to Mary that he not only did not articulate it, but at once tried to suppress it.
Notes
1 Upon reaching the top of the mountain, a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement will be experienced.
The preposition upon here means 'at or immediately after the time or occasion of'. The preposition on can also be used to express the same meaning.
Upon/On his arrival in Paris, the famous film star was recognized and surrounded by his fans.
Upon/On hearing of the death of his parents, he cried for hours.
2 Special gloves are also worn so that people and objects in the film can be touched.
Here so that means 'with the aim that', which is used to introduce a clause showing a purpose.
She worked hard so that everything would be ready by 6 o'clock.
So that can also mean 'with the result that', which is used to introduce a clause
showing a result.
Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he had left.
3 To add to the virtual world of RealCine, smells are given out through small openings in the headsets.
Here add to means 'to increase'.
The West Lake adds to the beauty of the city of Hangzhou.
This phrase can also be used like add ...to...
If you add twelve to eighty-five, you get ninety-seven.
4 In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and make them work harder to make their dreams come true.
Here it refers to the subject clause 'that VR can provide teenagers with another way to experience the world and ...'
When the subject is a clause, an empty subject it is often used, and the order of the sentence is normally changed.
Compare each pair of sentences as follows:
What she looks like doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what she looks like.
That income tax should be abolished has actually been suggested.
It has actually been suggested that income tax should be abolished.
5 An argument has been put forward that some viewers will be disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real.
Here that is used to introduce an appositive clause 'some viewers will be
disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real.' This clause refers to 'an argument' and that cannot be omitted.
Your belief that things will improve is too optimistic.
Your suggestion that we should pay more attention to our table manners is a good one.

语法点津
Passive Voice
英文动词有主动语态 Active Voice 和被动语态 Passive Voice 之分。如果主语是动作或状态的「发出者」,动词就用主动语态;如果主语是动作或状态的「承受者」,动词就用被动语态。
例如:
1. John encouraged Mary.?约翰鼓励玛莉。?
2. Mary was encouraged by John.?玛莉受到约翰鼓励。?
※ 第一句的动词 "encouraged" 是主动语态;第二句的动词
"was encouraged"是被动语态。
动词被动语态的基本形态是:
助动词BE + 及物动词的过去分词(-ed分词)
动词的被动语态通常有六种时、体形式:即一般现在时、一般过去时、现在进行体、过去进行体、现在完成体和过去完成体。
1.Simple Present Tense
主动语态: I teach him.
被动语态: He is taught by me.
2. Simple Past Tense
主动语态: I taught him yesterday.
被动语态: He was taught by me yesterday.
3.Present Continuous Tense
主动语态: I am teaching him.
被动语态: He is being taught by me.
4.Past Continuous Tense
主动语态: I was teaching him when you came.
被动语态: He was being taught by me when you came.
5. Present Perfect Tense
主动语态: I have taught him.
被动语态: He has been taught by me.
6. Past Perfect Tense
主动语态: I had taught him before you came.
被动语态: He had been taught by me before you came.
一般将来时 Simple Future Tense 也常常有这种被动语态形式
主动语态: I shall teach him tomorrow.
被动语态: He will be taught by me tomorrow.
动词由主动语态变为被动语态的步骤:
1. 先找出谓语动词;
2. 再找出谓语动词后的宾语;
3. 把宾语用作被动语态中的主语;
4. 注意人称、时态和数的变化。
例:1. Bruce writes a letter every week.
→A letter is written by Bruce every week.
2. Li Lei mended the broken bike this morning.
→The broken bike was mended by Li Lei this morning.
3. He has written two novels so far.
→Two novels have been written by him so far.
4. They will plant ten trees tomorrow.
→Ten trees will be planted by them tomorrow.
5. Lucy is writing a letter now.
→A letter is being written by Lucy now.
6. You must lock the door when you leave.
→the door must be locked when you leave.
三、 使用被动语态应注意的几个问题:
1. 不及物动词无被动语态。
What will happen in 100 years.
The dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago.
2. 有些动词用主动形式表示被动意义。
This pen writes well.
This new book sells well.
3. 感官动词或使役动词使用省略to的动词不定式,主动语态中不带to ,但变为被动语态时,须加上to 。
例:make somebody do something
→somebody+ be +made to do something
see somebody do something
→somebody +be +seen to do something
A girl saw my wallet drop when she passed by.
→My wallet was seen to drop by a girl when she passed by.
The boss made the little boy do heavy work.
→The little boy was made to do heavy work by the boss.
4. 如果是接双宾语的动词改为被动语态时,直接宾语(物)作主语,那么动词后要用介词,这个介词是由与其搭配的动词决定。
He gave me a book.
→A book was given to me by him.
He showed me a ticket.
→A ticket was shown to me by him.
My father bought me a new bike.
→A new bike was bought for me by my father.
5. 一些动词短语用于被动语态时,动词短语应当看作一个整体,而不能丢掉其中的介词或副词。
We can’t laugh him.
→He can’t be laugh by us.
He listens to the radio every day.
→The radio is listened to by him every day.
The nurse is taking care of the sick man.
→The sick man is being taken care of by the nurse.
只要你掌握了以上一些方法,
使用被动语态的一般因由
1. 不易说出动作或状态的「发出者」
例如:
This building was completed in 1980.
* 由谁建成,不易说出。
2. 不便说出动作或状态的「发出者」
例如:
The meeting has been postponed till Friday.
3. 动作或状态的「承受者」比「发出者」更需强调
例如:
A press conference was held last night.
4. 为了修辞
例如:
The teacher loves the students and is loved by them.
态: A book was given him by me.
含有情态动词的被动语态构成:Modal verbs and the passive voice
情态动词+ be + 及物动词的过去分词
Students will learn how to use modal verbs in the passive voice to express ability, possibility, duty, permission, etc. They are also expected to learn to use modal verbs in the passive voice in the present and the past tenses.
Young trees must be watered often.
Your mistakes should be corrected right now.
The door may be locked inside.
Your homework can be handed in tomorrow.
Verbs often used in the passive voice
Here students will learn some of the verbs that are often used in the passive voice. And they should know that these verbs function as adjectives.
The teacher may begin this part by asking students to complete some sentences by choosing one of the two words given. The words in bold are the correct answers. For example,
1.The children are getting about the coming holiday. (exciting; excited)
2.Don't you get of arguing about the same thing all the time? (tiring; tired)
3.Joan isn't very good at Physics, so everyone was when she passed the exam.(surprising; surprised)
4.All of us were very last Saturday because our team lost the game.(disappointing; disappointed)
5.It was snowing last night. So everything is with snow this morning.(covering; covered)
6.My parents are quite with my test results. (pleasing; pleased)
7.Both of them are with the arrangement. (satisfying; satisfied)
Ask students why they choose the verb-ed forms but not verb-ing forms.

Situation 1: …
European Shuttle Prototype Lands Safely
导读:欧洲航空防务与空间公司“凤凰号”航天飞机模型在瑞典成功试飞。
Sun, May 09, 2004
STOCKHOLM, Sweden(瑞典首都-斯德哥尔摩) - An unmanned prototype of a European space shuttle glided safely back to Earth on Saturday after being dropped from nearly 8,000 feet up by a helicopter.
Guided by Global Positioning System satellites(全球定位卫星), the German-designed EADS(欧洲航空防务与空间公司) Phoenix was dropped by a heavy-duty helicopter over Sweden at 9:45 a.m. and "landed perfectly" 90 seconds later on a test runway north of Stockholm, a project spokeswoman said.
"Everyone here is ecstatic," said Johanna Bergstroem-Roos, of the North European Aerospace Test Range in Kiruna, 770 miles north of Stockholm.
"This gives us wind in our sails."
The Phoenix shuttle, along with the Ariane 5 rocket, represents the European Space Agency's hope for sending astronauts into space, but project managers concede a full-size version will not be ready until sometime between 2015 and 2020.
The test flight was originally planned for Friday but was postponed so technicians could finish analyzing data from an earlier test of the vehicle's onboard computers this week.
The next step likely will be to drop the prototype from higher altitudes, with the help of a high-altitude balloon, Bergstroem-Roos said. The finished shuttle must be capable of gliding to land from an altitude of 80 miles, she said.
Situation 2: …As motorways become more and more clogged up with traffic, a new generation of flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways.
That is the verdict of engineers from the US space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters travelling by "skycar".
These could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by Boeing research and development.
However, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market.
Efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful.
Such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them.
"When you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle that's hard to use," said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle (PAV) division of the vehicle systems program at Nasa's Langley Research Center in Hampton, US.
But Boeing is also considering how to police the airways - and prevent total pandemonium - if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.
"The neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what would the vehicle itself look like," said Dick Paul, a vice president with Phantom Works, Boeing's research and development arm.
"But we're trying to think through all the ramifications of what would it take to deploy a fleet of these."
Past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic.
Nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel.
Small planes are generally costly, loud, require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people.
But within five years, Nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000 (£55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.
Although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. Technology would automate many of the pilot's functions.
This Small Aircraft Transportation System (Sats) would divert pressure away from the "hub-and-spoke" model of air travel.
Hub-and-spoke refers to the typically US model of passengers being processed through large "hub" airports and then on to secondary flights to "spoke" airports near their final destination. 由于高速公路上的交通堵塞情况越来越严重,一种能够载人穿梭在“空中高速路”上的新一代“飞车”将成为需要。
这就是美国国家航空航天局和一些航空公司的工程师们的意见,他们预测未来人类将会乘坐“飞车”旅行。
这些车可能会和图片中见到的波音公司研发中心设计的概念飞车很相像。
然而,这样的交通工具可能需要25年左右的时间才能投放市场。
人类在过去制造飞车的努力一直都不是很成功。
这样的交通工具汽车耗资不菲,而且要求驾驶者具备像训练有素的飞行员一样的驾驶技巧;不仅如此,在研制过程中还面临工程学方面的严峻挑战。
马克?摩尔是美国国家航空航天局兰利研究中心(位于汉普顿)汽车系统项目组“个人空中交通工具(PAV)”小组的负责人,他说:“当你试图将各个方面组合起来时,得到的是一辆最糟糕的车:非常笨重,速度又慢,价格还高,总之驾驶起来很不方便。”
但波音公司同时也在考虑,在上千辆“飞车”进入空中的情况下如何对空中通道进行管理,防止交通陷入彻底的混乱。
波音公司研发部门“幻影工程队”的副总裁迪克?保罗说:“最关键和最精彩的是设计出这种交通工具本身,但是我们也在全力考虑当这样一支车队投入运行后可能出现的所有情况。”
关于如何解决这个问题,以往就有一些建议,包括使用人工智能系统来防止空中交通工具之间发生碰撞。
B.一篇阅读文章。
Gauri Nanda sees a wearable computer as a...handbag -- one that's built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fabric, with tiny computer chips embedded in it.
Assembled together with Velcro that conducts electricity, these pieces form a bag that looks, feels, and weighs like your typical leather purse.
That's where the similarities end: This bag can wirelessly keep tabs on your belongings and remind you, just as you're about to leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you grab an umbrella -- or your sunshades. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf.
Sure, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices, part of next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Unit shipments of such wearable computers -- purses, watches, shirts -- should rise from 261,000 last year to 1.39 million in 2008, according to the tech research firm IDC.
Powering this market are advancements in design and in fabric-embedded electronics. Over the last two years, DuPont (DD ) created new fibers called Aracon, made of Kevlar, that are superstrong, can conduct electricity, and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And chipmaker Infineon (IFX ) developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty cycle.
As a result, these new wearables are a far cry from the clunky and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires, type on their stomachs, and sport an unseemly display on their foreheads. "Cyborg computing was very clunky, very bulky machines that people didn't want to carry around," says Nanda, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. "Our bags feel and look like bags."
Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years, Nanda expects it will cost around $150, which is the price of an average leather purse. Only "it's fun, you can rip apart and put together a computer," she says.
Here's how the bag works: You place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that you've forgotten to take your wallet. In turn, sensors on your purse's handles will notify the computer that you've picked up the purse and are ready to go.
Such unobtrusive, inconspicuous, and fun devices should grab more than 80% of the total wearable computing market by 2008, while cyborgian wearable PCs will remain a niche, says IDC analyst Kevin Burden. Already, these new kinds of wearables are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring -- and even, increasingly, for consumers at large.
Wearables are also slowly making their way into the auto-repair market. A company called Microvision (MVIS ) recently introduced its Nomad head-mounted display. It covers one eye, but it's see-through, allowing auto technicians to examine the innards of a car and check them against on-screen computer drawings at the same time. It comes as a baseball cap clip-on, to be more unobtrusive.
So far, it's a hit: At Jim Fisher Volvo dealership in Portland, Ore., which has been testing the system for about seven months, productivity of technicians went up 10% to 20%, says Service Manager John Prosser. Better yet, customers talking to technicians who are wearing these contraptions also are more likely to agree to repairs, pushing revenue up 15% to 18%. Says Prosser: "This makes [technicians] want to get involved and to cross this bridge of reluctance" in using a new technology.
Indeed, many more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years -- making for a booming market for wearable computers that don't look like something out of an old Star Trek episode.
最新型的可穿着电脑产品在外观方面与普通衣物几乎没有什么两样,而售价的降低和功能的丰富也许会使它成为未来人类不可或缺的工具之一。
The latest generation of these ever-smarter garments look like ordinary clothes, assembled together with Velcro that conducts electricity, these pieces form a bag that looks, feels, and weighs like your typical leather purse.
你能否想象一台仅仅4英寸大小的电脑?用户可以方便地随身携带,重量与一件普通的皮夹克差不多。它,就是“可穿着式电脑”。最新型的可穿着电脑产品在外观方面与普通衣物几乎没有什么两样,而售价的降低和功能的丰富也许会使它成为未来人类不可或缺的工具之一。
据美国《商业周刊》3月8日报道,这种“小家伙”可以帮助用户通过无线方式与主人的其他财物保持联系,并随时随地提醒用户一些生活细节。当用户离开房间的时候,它会乖巧地提醒主人不要忘记携带钱包;在主人出行时,它会自动查询天气预报,帮助主人做到未雨绸缪;它甚至还可以在主人穿着的围脖中加入喜欢的歌曲。
的确,这些高科技的电脑更多情况下只能出现在科幻小说的情节当中。不过,根据市场调查机构IDC提供的预测数据,下一代“可穿着式电脑”产品在未来几年中将成为市场上的常见商品。IDC预测,这种高科技产品的销量,包括电脑钱包、电脑手表、电脑T恤,将从去年的26万台提高到2008年的139万台。
高科技电脑产品的背后都有着坚实的技术支柱。过去两年中,美国杜邦公司发明了一种新型的纤维材质,名为Aracon。这种材料具有超高强度并可导电,最重要的是,它可以被任意地折叠并制作成衣服。芯片制造商英飞凌(Infineon)公司也开发了一款专门用于可穿着电脑产品的芯片包,这种芯片包可以在衣物电脑被水洗的过程中保护芯片的安全。
与上一代昂贵的可穿着电脑不同,新型产品在售价方面更加廉价。IDC预计,在未来两到三年内,可穿着电脑的平均售价将降至每台150美元。这个价格已接近普通皮夹克的售价,为产品的普及奠定了坚实的基础。
目前,这种产品已被应用于医疗服务领域。美国经营健康产品的Apex公司计划在本月晚些时候,将这种可穿着式电脑应用于帮助用户减肥方面,此款产品可随时计算出用户所消耗的热量并科学地调节减肥者的膳食结构;加州一些医学院及制药公司则将可穿着电脑应用于病人实时监控方面,以便让医生随时观察病人的心跳、血压、呼吸等数据。
随着可穿着电脑产品的广泛应用,也许再过几年电影《星球大战》中描述的那种科学世界将真正来临。

A.单项填空
答案及解析:
1、A the European 表类指;a foreign language为泛指
2、C 在like/ love/ hate it when… 这个结构中,it可以解释为形式宾语,但是与我们所熟悉的it作形式宾语的复合结构不同的是,在它之后没有形容词或名词作宾语补足语。
3、A 作blame的宾语,所以都应当用宾格形式。
4、B 从所提供的情景the more you learn,并结合所给的选项可以确定这是“the+比较级+陈述句,the+比较级+陈述句”的句型,表示“越……越……”。这句话的意思是:我认为,教育是关于学习的事,你学得越多,你对生活准备得就越充分。
5、A 倍数词+as…as意为“是……多少倍”
6、C purpose目的,意图; desire愿望,请求; attempt尝试; intention意图,意向,目的。从题意“他已经仔细准备了英语考试以确保一次通过考试”可以看出C是正确答案。
7、D 第一空为现在完成时,与一段时间状语连用(for eight years);第二空:在一次晚会上认识之前就见过,正是“过去的过去”的一个动作,故选 D
8、根据woke(wake的过去式)可以判断,这里谈论的与“现在”无关,因此可排除B和D两项。“I”是在读书期间睡着的(while reading),而不是在之前睡着的,所以项也不恰当。
9、B 句意:因为Lucy失业了,所以她在考虑重返校园,但她现在还没有决定。根据题意说话者再说现在的情况,因此排除A、C、D三项,B属现在完成进行时,表示现在的事,进行时强调“考虑”这个动作的“未完成性”,所以是最佳答案。
10、C 句意:北京市市长说所有北京奥林匹克建筑将于2006年完成。此题考查英语动词的语态和时态,很显然本题应改用被动语态,因此排除B、D;根据时间状语by 2006,应选择将来完成时,因此选C
11、C 根据even since(从那时,一直到现在),所以应该用现在完成时,排除A、B、D项。
12、D 病人被治疗,又有时间this year,应用现在完成时的被动语态。
13、C 整个句子是基于过去时态,A和D两项为现在时态显然不对。再由句意“Susan决定不在家里,因为她不想让父母知道她正在做什么”可知还没有做完,故C项正确,进行体有未完成性、暂时性的特点。
14、B 现在“this open sea”仍然被称作“the Pacific”,属于客观事实,故用一般现在时。
15、C 本题考查非谓语动词作状语。先排除B项,因为B项是谓语动词形式,不可作状语;A、D两项为不定式形式放在句首时常作目的状语,这显然与本题逻辑上不符。
16、D 句意:据说Barbara的姐姐在上学的路上从自行车上摔了下来,左腿上的很重。首先排除A、C项,因不符合习惯用法。Hurt为及物动词,故应选D这个过去分词短语作结果状语。
17、C just now 是表示过去的时间状语。情态动词在表示过去发生的事时,必须用“情态动词+should+过去分词”的形式。所以只能在选项B或C中确定答案。mustn’t have eaten是一个错误选项,因为“must+动词”表示“禁止”,不表示判断或推断。这句话的意思是:哦,我觉得胃不舒服,我刚刚不该吃那么多炸鸡。
18、D as if 从句所谈的情况与实际情况相反使用虚拟语气。
19、B They must have been enjoying themselves there表示对过去的确有的把握的推测,他们一定在那玩的很高兴。后面是:否则他们就不会待那么长时间了。wouldn’t have stayed这里表示于过去事实相反的虚拟。
20、B 本题中,just as the name suggests是一个插入语,去掉它,重新组合本句:A fast food restaurant is the place where eating is performed quickly.其中eating 是动名词,在从句中作主语,句子结构完整,因此答案只能选B,作状语。全句意思为:顾名思义,快餐店是一个就餐快的地方。
B.短文填空
hit, On, atmosphere, remaining, speed, outwards, coast, drowned, lands, set, waves, destroyed, but, escape, hidden, fall, food, alive, space, through
C.词汇题
1、B. deliver sth to sb/sth 表示递送;传递;交付;运载。
2、C. impress sb with sth/sb 使钦佩,给…留下深刻的好印象
3、A announce 表示宣布、宣告(决定、计划等)
4、B force sb to do sth 表示强迫某人做某事
5、D extraordinary adj.非常的, 特别的, 非凡的, 特派的
6、B 句意:你是当班长的,关于这件事,没有任何借口。
7、C put forward 意为:提名
8、C put sth on to sb 意为:转交;(用后)递给,传给
9、D 句意:我们的地球正在变暖的后果之一就是自然灾害的数量的增加。
10、B put one’s heart into 的意思是“专心致志”
11、D 看问题至少从两个方面
12、C “医生,当我深呼吸的时候,胸口感到疼痛。”比较四个词的词义:harm损害;wound受伤;hurt 刺痛;injury 受伤。hurt作不及物动词时,是“疼痛”的意思。
13、D 比较四个词的词义:achievement成就;agreement赞同; attention注意,专心;appreciation感谢,欣赏。根据句意:对他的关怀表示的应是“谢意”,故选D
14、C 住在高层建筑的顶层的优势之一是能看到好的景色。比较四个词的词义:sight风景名胜、视力;scene一个地区的自然景色或人为的环境;view多只从山上或向窗外远看的景色;look神色、外表。
15、A put sth forward 推迟;句意:根据校长的要求,会议往后推迟了一个星期。
D.改错题
1.and→but 2.time→times 3.to→for 4.that→those 5.去掉one
6. √ 7.takes→took 8.build前加to 9.had→have 10.what→how

Possible version
Dear editor,
I'm a student of Senior Three. I think my parents should buy me a computer now. As we know, computers have been of great use and will be used more and more in our daily life. Beside computers are also helpful in our English learning. There are piles of learning software we can us I don't see anything wrong for us to spend some time playing games. After all, we need something to enjoy ourselves.
One more word, with computers we can get more information and get more knowledge. Don't you agree?
