2022高考英语题型专题练之说明文阅读
(A)
Austrian company Tec-innovation recently publicized smart shoes that u ultrasonic (超声波) nsors to help blind or vision impaired people to detect obstacles (障碍物) up to four meters away. Known as InnoMake, the smart shoe aims to become a modern alternative to the decades-old walking stick that millions of people around the world depend on to get around as safely as possible.
The currently available model relies on nsors to detect obstacles and warns the wearer via vibration (震动) and an audible warning sounded on a Bluetooth-linked smartphone. That sounds impressive enough, but the company is already working on a much more advanced version that adopts cameras and artificial intelligence to not only detect obstacles but also their nature. “Not only is the warning that I am facing an obstacle relevant, but also the information about what kind of obstacle I am facing. Becau it makes a big difference whether it’s a wall, a car or a stairca.” Markus Raffer, one of the founders of Tec-innovatio
n, told Techxplore.
“Ultrasonic nsors on the toe of the shoe detect obstacles up to four meters away. The wearer is then warned by vibration and/or audible signals. This works very well and is already a great help to me personally,” Raffer, himlf visually impaired, added. The current version of the InnoMake shoe is already available on the Tec-Innovation website, for €3,200 per pair.
关于智慧的名言The advanced system is powered by a heavy-duty battery that can last for up to one week, depending on u. The battery can be charged in just three hours, using a USB cable. “You can make adjustments in real time with the button on the back of the device. The range can be adjusted up to 4 meters by briefly pressing the button,” the Tec-innovation website reads. “You can activate the intelligent mode which automatically paus the system, e.g. when you are sitting, and you can also u InnoMake as a scanner to obtain information about your environment by means of foot movement.”

罗马许愿池It was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. "Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.
I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in tho stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were just along for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.
This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.
I've been asked veral times how I came up with the idea for A Problematic Paradox and my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer becau it's simple and makes me em very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.
My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing tho areas of study unfriendly or out — of — the — norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but eing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.
