Question

【题目】

	Ping Pong Door Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door. It was designed by Tobias Frnzel from Germany. Cool idea!
	Dog Watch The dog watch is a “clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this watch, you can know time at your animal’s rate instead of your own. The watch multiplies（乘）every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!
	Earthquake House Big earthquakes can hit a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But Dysinger has found a way, the Earthquake House! His idea is simple. Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors know the big earthquake, the house is free from its chains(链条). Don’t worry. You always remain straight in it.
	Smell This How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

【1】

词义猜测题。根据表格中“Ping Pong Door”中句子“It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door.”可知当你把这个门往下拉时，它会变成一个乒乓球桌。乒乓球游戏结束后，乒乓球桌变回到一个普通的门。所以这里的it是指代前面的“ping-pong table”。故选C。

【2】

细节理解题。根据表格中“Dog Watch”中句子“The watch multiplies（乘）every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”…that translates into 98 human years!”可知手表将每个人的时间乘以七，给了我们“小狗的时间”。如果狗活到14岁，转换成人的寿命是98年！所以狗手表是把狗的年龄转换成人类的时间。故选D。

【3】

细节理解题。根据表格中“Earthquake House”中句子“Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it.”可知建造一个里面有地震传感器的圆形房子。所以地震房是圆形的。故选B。

【4】

细节理解题。根据表格中“Smell This”中句子“It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation.”可知我们很难知道自己呼出的味道，Smell This对这种情况有帮助。所以想要确保你呼出的味道闻起来很好，就需要Smell This。故选D。

【5】

推理判断题。通读全文，全篇介绍了四个比较奇特的发明，所以可以推测这篇文章来自报纸。故选C。
