英语周报2023-2024九年级第21期课标知识导练答案

Google is testing its newest high-tech device, Google Glass. Most of the technologies for Google Glass are already available on smart phones. Google has taken those same technologies and added them to eyeglass frames（眼镜架）. The company describes the glasses as wearable computers that would change the way people view others and the world.

“Google Glass is a tiny computer that sits in a lightweight frame, and rests neatly above your eye and it makes exploring and sharing the world around you a lot easier,” said Chris Dale, the Senior Manager of Communications for Google Glass.

The glasses have a tiny video screen and a camera that connect wirelessly to the Internet through WIFI, a smartphone, or a tablet computer. You can make and receive calls, send and receive texts, take pictures, record video or search the web. You control Google Glass using your voice, and a touchpad on the right arm of the frame.

Professor Marcia Dawkins is among a select group of people who have been given a chance to test out Google Glass. “I thought this is something I definitely need for my classroom and hopefully for my personal life too.”

The Professor’s Google Glass looks like a pair bright orange glasses, without the actual glass. But there’s a tiny rectangular（长方形的）glass at the top right-hand corner. Through that glass, she has been recording video while biking. She also has been able to talk to her sister in Thailand, and she plans to use the device to teach a public speaking class.

But not everyone is excited about Google Glass. Some are concerned about possible risks to privacy.

John Simpson is the director of the privacy project at Consumer Watchdog.

“It is going to allow people to come in and spy on you and record that, without you knowing what is going on.”

Filmmaker Chris Barrett showed just how easy it is to record people without them knowing it. His glass captured（捕捉）a man getting arrested after a fight. He shared the video on You Tube.

Also some are concerned about the use of facial recognition（面部识别）technology on Google Glass. But Google says it will not approve the use of such applications. The Internet company says it is still testing its new device, and it hopes to make Google Glass available to the public by early next year.

B

【解析】

试题分析：考察冠词。本题第一空后的struggle在本句中是一个可数名词，前面使用不定冠词a修饰，意为“一件困难的事情”。第二空使用定冠词the特质这个实验，第三空后的名词satisfaction满意，是一个抽象名词，同时也是一个不可数名词，要单独使用。句意：尽管对他来说完成这个实验是一件困难的事情，但是对于结果，他很满意。故B正确。
