Other garments use a nickel-and-titanium (镍和钛)shape-memory alloy to move shinning panels of fabric as if they are breathing, like coral (珊瑚) shifting with the tide. "Clothing becomes the interface to tell a story," says British haute tech (服装科技) designer Di Mainstone, an artist in residence at New York’s Eyebeam studio.
One of Mainstone’s newest projects, Sharewear, stems from the idea that in today’s fast-paced society, time for "intimate homey encounters" is limited. So Mainstone created a costume made up of modules inspired by icons of the home, like the armrest of a favorite sof

a. In addition to looking cool, Sharewear is meant to evoke the idea that clothing serves both to shelter and to define us-just like our homes. "I wanted that esthetic of something that was very familiar." Mainstone says.
Which of the following is Mainstone’s thought according to the passageA. Haute tech clothing can tell stories to people.B. Haute tech designs should look cool.C. Clothing serves both to shelter and define us.D. We often ignore the beauty in familiar things.

Most viruses that cause swine flu or bird flu are very hard to pass from one human to another: they don’t cause epidemics. Sometimes, however, further changes in genes create a virus that can spread rapidly among humans, and can produce a more severe illness. One reason this illness is more severe is that the virus is so new. The regular flu that comes each year is caused by a regular human influenza virus that often has similarities to the viruses that have caused the nu in years past, so people have some degree of immunity to the latest virus. The unusual swine flu or bird flu viruses that develop the ability for person-to-person spread are so different that people have little or no immunity to them. What is the main reason that the swine flu is very dangerous to humans A. That it is fatal and has killed many. B That it has spread to many countries. C. That people know nothing about it. D. That people have no immunity to it.

单项选择题

Cars have traditionally been wasteful beasts. Every time a drop of gas explodes inside a cylinder(气缸), the energy gets passed along from the piston(活塞) to the crankshaft(曲轴), flywheel(飞轮), gearbox, drivetrain, and axles(轮轴). By the time the wheels actually turn, four fifths of the original energy has disappeared. The electric car goes a long way toward reducing wasted energy by replacing the internal-combustion engine with batteries. Even so, electric cars destroy about 60 percent of the energy because mechanical parts are still used to deliver energy from the bakeries to the wheels. Lately, though, engineers have come up with a far more efficient way to accomplish the same task: by using magnets in the wheels. Why do electric cars still waste much of the energy

A. Because they have replaced the internal-combustion engine with bakeries.
B. Because they still use mechanical paas to transfer energy to the wheels.
C. Because they use magnets in the wheels which add weight to the car.
D. Because batteries are not powerful enough to drive the cars.
