Question

If you get a cellphone call, your sleeve(袖子) will soon be able to answer it. If you want to know how far you’ve run, your trousers will be able to tell you. Can’t decide what to wear? Wish your clothes were smart enough to decide for you? A new computer science technology may be able to help your clothing to do just that.

Mark Jones, a computer scientist, says, "We view electronic textiles (电子纺织品) as, sort of, where computing meets the fabric (编织品)."

This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.

A loom (织布机) helps make the wires and fabric together. Then special equipment in the fabric can measure the speed. Signals are then sent from the trousers to a computer to show the process.

Tom Martin also says, "E-textiles are a way for us to build wearable computers that look like normal clothing and can fit in fully with the environment."

Researchers also hope wearable computers will help save lives. "We will be able to tell what activity a person is doing. That sort of information is highly valuable when we’re trying to monitor someone with a long-term illness such as heart disease," Jones says. Monitoring your every step is something that clever clothing can do a little easier. Researchers plan on developing more smart clothes to integrate computers into shirts, hats and gloves.

2.D

3.C

4.A

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要介绍的是一种新型的技术把新的电脑技术和服装相结合，形成了一种新的服装，能够监控我们的每一个行动，监控我们的身体状况。

1.B 推理题。根据We view electronic textiles (电子纺织品) as, sort of, where computing meets the fabric (编织品)."This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.这里的marriage说明是把编织品和电脑技术结合在一起，形成一种新型的服装。故B正确。

2.D 细节题。根据文章第三段  This high-tech marriage is bringing up the wearable computers, like trousers that can interpret movement and let a computer know your every move.说明把一些很小的装置放在服装里，让这样的电脑装置知道你的所有的举动。故D正确。

3.C 推理题。根据文章最后一段"We will be able to tell what activity a person is doing. That sort of information is highly valuable when we’re trying to monitor someone with a long-term illness such as heart disease,"说明这样的服装可以监控你的健康状况。故C正确。

4.A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是一种新型的技术把新的电脑技术和服装相结合，形成了一种新的服装，能够监控我们的每一个行动，监控我们的身体状况。故A正确。
