Question

【題目】

	Ping Pong Door Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door. It was designed by Tobias Frnzel from Germany. Cool idea!
	Dog Watch The dog watch is a “clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this watch, you can know time at your animal’s rate instead of your own. The watch multiplies（乘）every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!
	Earthquake House Big earthquakes can hit a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But Dysinger has found a way, the Earthquake House! His idea is simple. Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(傳感器) in it. If the sensors know the big earthquake, the house is free from its chains(鏈條). Don’t worry. You always remain straight in it.
	Smell This How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

【1】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)表格中“Ping Pong Door”中句子“It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door.”可知當你把這個門往下拉時，它會變成一個乒乓球桌。乒乓球游戲結束后，乒乓球桌變回到一個普通的門。所以這里的it是指代前面的“ping-pong table”。故選C。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格中“Dog Watch”中句子“The watch multiplies（乘）every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”…that translates into 98 human years!”可知手表將每個人的時間乘以七，給了我們“小狗的時間”。如果狗活到14歲，轉(zhuǎn)換成人的壽命是98年！所以狗手表是把狗的年齡轉(zhuǎn)換成人類的時間。故選D。

【3】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格中“Earthquake House”中句子“Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(傳感器) in it.”可知建造一個里面有地震傳感器的圓形房子。所以地震房是圓形的。故選B。

【4】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格中“Smell This”中句子“It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation.”可知我們很難知道自己呼出的味道，Smell This對這種情況有幫助。所以想要確保你呼出的味道聞起來很好，就需要Smell This。故選D。

【5】

推理判斷題。通讀全文，全篇介紹了四個比較奇特的發(fā)明，所以可以推測這篇文章來自報紙。故選C。
