　　Quickly, the picture comes alive with hyperlinks (超链接), offering the names of the buildings, towers and street features that appear in the photo.The hyperlinks lead to information about the history, services and context of all the features in the photo.You have just hyperlinked your reality.

　　That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination.This is not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology just developed by European researchers.It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.

　　This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer.It develops a completely new interface (界面) that combines web­technology with the real world.It is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has much greater influence.

　　The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.

　　Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world's most popular technology: the mobile phone.

　　The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical environment.The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象)．These panoramas form the basis of a city database.It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas. A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user's photograph to the panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.

　　Then you simply click on the links, using a touch­screen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.

　　16．Which is introduced in the passage?

　　A．A new game software.

　　B．A popular mobile phone.

　　C．A cool small machine.

　　D．An image recognition system.

　　17．What can we learn about the new technology?

　　B．It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.

　　C．It has taken an unending labour to bring the technology into our lives.

　　D．It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.

　　a．A city database forms in the system.

　　b．MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.

　　c．A user touches the links on the phone screen.

　　d．A user takes a picture of the street feature.

　　Years ago, as a young mom with two small children, I struggled to keep up with the demands of a busy life. One day, I woke up feeling so tired that I knew something had to change!

　　A friend gave me some Royal Jelly—an amazing substance(物质)from the beehive(蜂房). I was doubtful, but desperate…so I tried it! In time, I began to experience renewed energy and vitality(活力)like never before! Now, over two decades later I travel all round the country, sharing my life­changing experience. I'm grateful for the energy to keep up and love to share this wonderful discovery with others.

　　Blanca on Dec. 25, 2010 7：02 PM

　　Ten years ago, when I was 73, my mind wanted to be busy and useful, but my body didn't. I became tired and lethargic(无精打采的). That's when my daughter Madeline tried to persuade me to try her special Royal Jelly. It made such a dramatic(巨大的)difference in her life, so she was sure it could help me too! Hesitating for 2 days, I gave in. She was right! I no longer felt worn out. I had a new, youthful zest(热情)for life and have been OK—thanks to Royal Jelly!

　　Lori on Dec. 25, 2010 10：27 PM

　　When my Mom Madeline was introduced to Royal Jelly, it affected my life, too! Mom gave me some of her fantastic Royal Jelly. Boy, things did turn around! I had more energy and stamina(耐力)and was finally able to keep up with high school and, eventually, college activities.

　　课时作业(三十八)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词作定语时，其中心词是被修饰的词。该题中seat是一个及物动词，且和person之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。

　　2．B　考查非谓语动词。be employed in doing sth.忙着做某事，固定短语。

　　3．B　考查非谓语动词。这里表示(我)回首过去，用现在分词。句意：回首过去，我可以看到过去那些可怕的事情把我塑造成了今天的我。

　　4．C　考查非谓语动词。原句补充完整为：Mao Zedong compare the youth to the rising sun at 8 or 9 a. m．，he…；主谓之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。

　　5．B　考查非谓语动词。be surrounded with由……环绕。surrounded with a high wall and thick trees＝which is surrounded with a high wall and thick trees，这里是过去分词短语作后置定语。

　　6．A　考查介词短语辨析。out of order出故障了，可根据“你必须让人检查一下”判断。out of control失去控制，不符合句意。

　　7．D　考查短语辨析。now and then意为“有时，偶尔”。句意：两年前安娜离开家乡以来我就没见过她，但我们的确有时发电子邮件保持联系。here and there到处；sooner or later迟早；at one time一度，曾经。

　　8．D　考查形容词辨析。be convenient for是一个固定短语，意为“对……来说做某事是方便的”。

　　9．B　考查非谓语动词。分词短语作非限制性定语，排除A；逻辑主语the performance与intend是被动关系，故用过去分词。

　　10．C　考查动词短语辨析。句意：Jess的丈夫Bill死后，她很难过，她的朋友帮她度过了那糟糕的前几周。break through打破……的僵局；break down分解；身体垮掉；get through完成；度过；get rid of摆脱。

　　11．D　考查状语从句。in case，for fear that引导目的状语从句词义为“以防……，以免……”。须指出的是in case引导的从句，谓语动词用一般现在时表示将来时。for fear that其从句谓语动词前需有may，might，will或would等情态动词。

　　12．B　考查非谓语动词。动词bear后跟动名词形式作宾语；且此处哭的原因是无法忍受“被取笑”，he 和make fun of之间为被动关系，故应该用过去分词形式。

　　13．C　考查动词的时态。by the time 后的从句多用一般现在时和一般过去时。根据该题的语境可以断定答案为C。

　　14．A　考查倒装。nowhere置于句首时，要用部分倒装结构。根据句意应是“到现在你也不能在什么地方看到这样美丽的宫殿，”所以用一般现在时，故选A。

　　15．B　考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们正在加宽这座大桥以加快交通流量。speed up 加速，加快；put off 延期，推迟；turn on 打开；work out 解决，计算出，制定出，锻炼，结果是。

　　Ⅱ.A

　　本文是一篇说明文，其大意是说欧洲的研究者们研发了一种新型的MOBVIS图片识别系统，其主要功能是在输入一张图片后，它会给你找出此图片的拍摄地及其历史、艺术风格和个性特点。

　　16．D　细节理解题。根据第一段大意和第五段的首句可知文章介绍的是图片识别系统，故本题选D。

　　17．C　推理判断题。由第四段大意，尤其是“seemed to suffer from an unending labour.”可知本题选C。

　　18．B　细节理解题。根据文章最后两段的意思可知本题选B。

　　19．B　推理判断题。由第二段的最后一句“It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.”可以推出作者在促销这一系统，故选B。

　　B

　　20．C　推理判断题。由文章三个帖子的内容可知，三个跟帖人都说在食用Royal Jelly(蜂浆)之后比之前更有精力和活力，由此可推知C项正确。

　　21．D　细节理解题。比较三个发帖时间，就可得出答案为D。

　　22．B　推理判断题。由第二个帖子中的my daughter Madeline和第三个帖子中的my mom Madeline可知Madeline是Blanca的女儿也是Lori的母亲，故选B。

　　23．B　推理判断题。由文章中的posted…以及每人发帖的时间可推知本篇文章最有可能是网页上交流的帖子，故选B项。
