英语周报(黔西南)八年级上册答案2023-2024

With about 10 million new iPhone 6s ordered in the initial days on the market, a lot of old iPhones are bound to be thrown into the dustbins. Sure, you could sell, donate or recycle your old iPhone, but you probably will not. And there are better things to do with it.

One creative example: At the Missouri University of Science and Technology, a biology class is making old iPhones into microscopes. Using less than $10 worth of supplies, the old phones are mounted onto a lens and can magnify an object to 175 times its size.

Here are 5 smart-and-cheap uses for old iPhones.

Music for your car

Take your music library on the road. Some cars are equipped with docking ports for iPhones and have dashboard screens so you can choose your favourite music hands-free. Or you can just use the cigarette lighter for power.

Remote Control

Televisions, speakers and other devices now have apps that allow users to make their iPhones into fashionable remotes. Carm Lyman, 42, of Napa, California, transformed his iPhone 4 into a remote for his household sound system after his iPhone 5 arrived. Lyman can control the audio levels and activate speakers in various parts of his home as well as access different music services.

Cookbook

No need to go through recipe books or hunt around for other devices when you have a kitchen iPhone. Download a cookbook app, such as My Recipe Book (99 cents) or Big Oven (free), and just leave the device on the kitchen counter. It takes up almost no space and will hold far more recipes than any book.

Baby Monitor

Sure, you can spend $100 or more on a baby monitor, or you can just set your old iPhone up to watch video of your baby in real time as well as hear and even talk to him or her. Cloud Baby Monitor ($3.99) also allows parents to receive the signal on a wireless network or on WiFi so they do not have to be within a certain number of feet of the monitor.

Vehicle Tracker

Whether you need to find your car if it is stolen, record where you have traveled, or spy on your teenage driver, the built-in GPS in your phone can be used as a tracking device. An app like InstaMapper ($2.99) lets you watch the vehicle in real-time and have a record of it. Keep in mind that the phone can still dial 911, even if it does not have cellphone service, Smith said.

You can also use your old phone as a back-up in case your new model suffers irreparable harm. That said, the battery of a phone that sits in a drawer unused could be exhausted to the point where it is no longer workable.

【解析】

试题分析：当新的苹果6发行时，你的旧iphone 五种用途。

1.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段提到You can also use your old phone as a back-up in case your new model suffers irreparable harm. That said, the battery of a phone that sits in a drawer unused could be exhausted to the point where it is no longer workable此外，你还可以把旧手机当作新款手机遭受不可弥补的损害时的备用手机。即便如此，如果把手机电池放在抽屉里不使用，那么过了一段时间电池里的电量会耗尽到再也无法使用的地步，故选B项。

2.A 细节推断题。根据倒数第三段提到可以用旧苹果手机来做儿童监视器，再要看上边提到可以用来做菜谱，照相等，可见A最能受益。

3.D 细节理解题。根据文中提到它的五种用途，都需要做一些额外的工作，故选D项。

4.C 细节理解题。A项文中没有提到；B项所讲的范围有点小；根据第五段提到It takes up almost no space and will hold far more recipes than any book.可知不怎么占用空间，故D项错误。根据倒数第二段提到Whether you need to find your car if it is stolen, record where you have traveled, or spy on your teenage driver, the built-in GPS in your phone can be used as a tracking device可以用来追踪被盗的车辆，故C正确。
