What is the function of TWU E…——2014 高考英语第 40 题答案解析

【考点】O3：广告布告类阅读

【分析】本文是一则广告．介绍了大学部分服务项目的情况．一是介绍了自助餐厅、咖啡馆，它们营业的项目及时间、地点等．二是可以让学生放松娱乐的地方，可以在这里自己做饭，组织一些活动等．三是关于健康保健卫生，学生可以去咨询有关健康保健的问题．四是学术支持中心．学生有什么写作、语法、词汇或其他学术问题可以填表登记预约．五是学校有班车来回接送学生往来于学校和商场之间，很是方便

【解答】36．C．细节理解题．根据food部分第一段第二句可知可以在这里吃饭；根据you can use the tables to eat your lunch to have meetings and to study．可以遇见朋友．这里如果考生不细心的话，有可能选干扰最强的选项D，选项D的内容都是food部分的内容，选项D提到的充钱是在TWU的自助餐厅，而下棋是在the Lower Café，这很容易让考生误选D．故选C

37．A．．细节理解题．根据 Relaxation 部分叙述的可知可以在这里 Clobe 作饭，时间是除了周日，所以周五可以在这里做饭，故选A

38．D．细节理解题．根据 A doctor and nurse is available if you have health questions or need immediate medical help or personal advice．可知这里能够给出关于健康一些建议，故选 D

39．C． 细节理解题．根据 You can sign up for an appointment on the sign﹣up sheetoutside．可知要想得到帮助需要填写登记表，故选C

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题．根据 The shuttle transport students between campus and the shopping centre．可知主要接送学生往来于学校与商场之间，故选D

【点评】本文考察的是广告布告类阅读．阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息．细节题题干都是相应原文的变形（如同义改写、词性转换等），因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较．做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果．同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括

18．（12.5 分）A world﹣famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwood，has created the world's firstlong﹣distance signing device（装置），the LongPen

After many tiring … from city to city ， Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them．She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004．Together they designed the LongPen ． Here's how it works ： The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板） using a special pen．On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book．The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机） and computer screens

Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement（地下室）．At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be．The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it．The investing finally completed，teat runs w ere made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006London Book Fair．From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City

The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time．It has several other potential applications．It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province ． The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used

"It's really fun" ， said the owner of a bookstore ， who was present for one of the test runs．"Obviously you can't shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing

The response to the invention has not been all favorable．Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours．But she said，"It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it．"
