Question

【题目】Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案。)

Students across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a lot of inventions that they hope will one day be marketable. Here are three examples from the minds of China's young inventors.

Foot-Controlled Mouse

This new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help disable people when surfing the Internet.

The new invention is called a "surf mouse", and looks like a pair of blue slippers.（拖鞋） When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking the left mouse button; when people press with their heels, （脚后跟）they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can view Web pages.

Dirty Water Filter（过滤器）

The "pump （泵） of life", a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long and has a diameter of four centimeters. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful substances.

Rain, fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief.（救济） Pan told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan. If they had sent water-purifying equipment instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.

Transformer Vehicle （变压器多功能车）

The multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the size of tyres (轮胎）and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier.(行李架） The name Tranfus is a contraction of "transforming for us." Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into luggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesn't think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.（投资）

【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了三个来自中国年轻发明家的一些有用的小的发明。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中This new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help disable people when surfing the Internet可知，这种鼠标可以用来帮助残疾人们上网。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can view Web pages.可知，用户用脚控鼠标在拖鞋上滚动来浏览网页。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据上文There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone及下文harmful substances这里是消除有害物质的物料区，eliminate的意思是“消除，摆脱”相当于get rid of..表示摆脱。根据题意，故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中By changing the size of tyres (轮胎）and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier.可知，如果我们改变轮胎的宽度和结构。故选D。

【5】细节理解题。题干“为什么变压器车不能很快上市？” 根据文中But its inventor doesn't think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.（投资）可知，没有汽车公司愿意投资。故选C。

【6】标题归纳题。通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了一些年轻发明家的新理念。故选A。

我们在做阅读理解题时，就要明确初中阅读理解考查的主要内容,在此基础上,快速阅读全文,了解文章大意;在了解文章的基础上,抓住首尾句;认真仔细、逐步答题;平心静气,不急躁,仔细检查,减少误差。严格说来,阅读理解主要要求是:1.掌握阅读主旨大意,用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节;2.既理解具体事实,也理解抽象的概念;3.既理解字面意思,也理解深层含义,包括作者的态度以及意图等。如第5小题是细节理解。题干“为什么变压器车不能很快上市？” 根据文中But its inventor doesn't think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.（投资）可知，没有汽车公司愿意投资。故选C。
