　　(2011·合肥第二次质检，E)

　　Fujitsu, a Japanese technology company, has created a system capable of simultaneously (同时地)charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections.

　　Electric car users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology, said the company, which developed a sample system at Osaka Prefecture University. Claiming to be the world's first of its kind，the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.

　　The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several meters. With the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock, scientists at Fujitsu Labs are planning to commercially sell products incorporating the new wireless charging system as early as 2012 but have not yet decided how much they would cost.

　　“This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position relating to the charger，” the company said in a statement.

　　Mobile phone users in Japan can currently charge their batteries using the disposable portable plug­in battery­operated device, available at most train stations and convenience stores. However, phone companies warn long time use of it can damage the phones.

　　The company added, “We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards (电路板) or computer chips, and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”

　　日本的一家公司发明了一种无线充电系统，利用该充电器和用电器之间的磁场充电。

　　12．This passage most probably taken from ________.

　　A. an instructive brochure B. readers' feedback

　　C. a news report D. a brief introduction

　　答案：C。推理判断题。从文章的内容可推断出这是一则资讯报道，报道了一项日本新的无线充电技术。另外此类题也可借助常识利用排除法解题。

　　13．Which of the following can best describe the striking feature of this system?

　　A. It enables wireless charging at distances of up to several miles.

　　B. It enables you to charge your device very easily beside the clock.

　　C. It is wireless and makes multiple charging at the same time.

　　D. It can be bought at any formal supermarkets in the city.

　　答案：C。事实细节题。由第二段首句中的关键词charge their vehicles wirelessly和倒数第三段中的wireless charging...可知C项正确。

　　14．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to________.

　　A. the device

　　B. the system

　　C. the phone

　　D. the battery

　　答案：A。词义猜测题。由倒数第二段可知，it指代的是它前面的the disposable portable plug­in battery­operated device，故选A。

　　15．The best title for the text would be ________.

　　A. Fujitsu, a famous Japanese company

　　B. Power transmission between circuit boards

　　C. New wireless charging system developed

　　D. Mobile phones damaged by charging

　　答案：C。主旨大意题。本文主题很明确，就是介绍日本新研发的一种无线充电系统。

　　C4[2012·湖南卷]

　　Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

　　King's Art Centre

　　A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

　　You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint — free of charge.

　　The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

　　The Botanic Garden

　　The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

　　The multi­branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue­green leaves, and is not one to miss.

　　Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

　　The Garden is also a place for wildlife­enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

　　Byron's Pool

　　Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the

　　time

　　pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

　　It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

　　61. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ________.

　　A．attending the masters' class

　　B.working with local artists

　　C．learning life drawing

　　D．seeing an exhibition

　　62. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ________.

　　A．common insects

　　B．impressive plants

　　63. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ________.

　　A．to fear pet bears

　　B．to like walking

　　C．to be a heavy drinker

　　D．to finish university in 1805

　　64. In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake________.

　　A.surrounded by fields

　　B．owned by Lord Byron

　　C．located in Grantchester

　　D．discovered by Virginia Woolf

　　65. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．Some places for weekend break.

　　B．A way to become creative in art.

　　C．The colourful life in the countryside.

　　D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University.

　　【要点综述】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了距离某大学较近的景点。
