Missing friends who live far away? Or just need a little family comfort after a long day? Sometimes you just need a hug(拥抱). And sometimes there’s just no one around to give you one. So what do you do? How about a virtual (虚拟的) hug?Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a social media vest (社交背心) that allows people to give hugs to their friends, family and loved ones on Facebook.
The vest is called Like-A-Hug, which is connected(连接) with your Facebook page. Whenever Facebook friends “Like” a photo, video or anything you post on the network, a fan will blow air into the vest to give you a hug. Hugs can also be sent back to the sender by pressing the vest to lose air, according to the website of designer Melissa Chow.
She worked with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton at the MIT Media Lab to build the black vest, making the wearer “feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.” Melissa Chow said, “We came up with the idea over a free talk about long-distance relationships and the disadvantages of video chat interfaces (视频聊天界面) like Skype.”
Chow and her workmates actually finished work on the vest last year, but it’s only just recently drawn the attention of the public.
Chow provided no pricing or ordering information for the Like-A-Hug vest, so don’t expect to see people blowing up all over town just yet.
Although researchers believe that Like-A-Hug will cause a worldwide storm, a lot of people think it can’t take the place of the feeling of a real hug. Body temperature or the taste of hair and so on is far from what a social vest can match.
小题1:What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To show how to design a magic vest.
B.To suggest a newly-built website.
C.To introduce a virtual social media vest.
D.To explain the weak points of Skype.
小题2:The vest “Like-A-Hug” would probably be most helpful to ________.
A.those who play computer games
B.those who need comfort or support
C.those who design chat interfaces
D.those who like to give others hugs
小题3:What can we learn about Melissa Chow?
A.She built the vest all by herself.
B.She expects to sell the vest at a high price.
C.She made the vest public last year.
D.She got the idea for a vest while chatting.
小题4:We can learn from the text that the Like-A-Hug vest ________.
A.can be ordered on Facebook
B.can take the place of a real hug
C.can not only be used by Facebook users
D.produces a hug when you get a Facebook “Like”

小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:D

试题分析:短文向大家介绍了一种虚拟拥抱------名叫Like-A-Hug的社交背心。Melissa Chow和她的伙伴Andy Payne 以及 Phil Seaton在一次谈话中得到启发,于是一起来做这项工作。她们想让人们感受到真正拥抱时的温暖、鼓励、支持以及爱。但人们相信这种虚拟的东西终归代替不了真正的肢体拥抱。
小题1:细节理解题。短文第一段用一个问题引出了社交背心,第二段介绍了什么是社交背心,接下来讲了社交背心的发明过程及未来前景,实际上就是在给我们介绍这种虚拟的拥抱方式。故选C。
小题2:细节理解题。从短文第三段第一句She worked with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton at the MIT Media Lab to build the black vest, making the wearer “feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.”她跟Andy Payne和 Phil Seaton在 MIT媒体实验室工作生产这种黑背心,让穿背心的人感觉到我们接受拥抱时的温暖、鼓励、支持以及爱。由此知道应该选A。
小题3:细节理解题。从短文第三段最后一句话说We came up with the idea over a free talk about long-distance relationships and the disadvantages of video chat interfaces(视频聊天界面) like Skype.我们从一次关于远程关系和关于像Skype视频聊天界面的自由谈话中想到这个主意。故选D。
小题4:细节理解题。第二段说:Whenever Facebook friends “Like” a photo, video or anything you post on the network, a fan will blow air into the vest to give you a hug.无论什么时候 Facebook网站的朋友喜欢一张照片、一段视频或任何你发布在网络上的东西,粉丝会向背心里吹气来给你一个拥抱。所以选D。
