Question

【题目】Today we're going to school by bus as usual. We normally leave home at 8 a.m., but we’re leaving e【1】 because we’re testing some new devices for this month’s report. All these devices are useful when you're travelling. So, what have we got?

First up is the Briefskate. It’s made of wood, so it looks like a normal skateboard, but you can open the top. Inside there’s s【2】 for books and a mobile or an iPad. In my opinion, it’s useful and fun, but Tina and I can’t skate, so we can’t test it...

The n【3】 device is the UE Boom 2. It’s a small speaker with a really big sound! It’s about the size of a can of drink, so you carry it with you easily and enjoy listening to your music. It’s powerful enough to f 【4】 a large room with music，so you can have a party wherever you are! And the battery lasts for fifteen hours.

Taking selfies (自拍）is fun, but sometimes you’d like your selfie stick to be just a little bit longer. Well, the Nixie is the perfect device for you! It’s a camera that flies! You w【5】 it on your arm like a watch, so it’s easy to carry. When you’re r【6】 to take a photo, you let it go and it flies up into the air. It knows where you are and it can follow you to take some awesome photos. It then comes back down, you catch it and put it back on your arm. Simple! The Nixie isn't a【7】 to buy yet, but you can put your name on the list to get one as soon as they're on sale.

【1】earlier

句意：我们平常在上午8点离开家，但是我们将要离开得更早，因为我们正在为这个月的报告检测一些新设备。根据because we’re testing some new devices for this month’s report.可知我们今天要检测一些新设备，因此我们要早去，故用earlier。

【2】space

句意：里面有空间放书和一个手机或者一个平板。根据inside和 for books and a mobile or an iPad.可知此处表示里面的空间，故用space。

【3】next

句意：下一个设备是the UE Boom 2。根据前面的first可知此处表示排列顺序，故用next。

【4】fill

句意：它足够强大足够把音乐充满一个大房间。fill…with…“把……充满……”，enough to do sth足够做某事。故此处用动词原形fill。

【5】wear

句意：你把它像手表一样戴在胳膊上。根据so it’s easy to carry可知它容易携带，因此戴

在胳膊上，故为wear。

【6】ready

句意：当你准备拍照时，你打开它，让它向上展开。be ready to准备，故为ready。

【7】available

句意：Nixie还无法买到，但是你为了他们一销售你就能买到，你可以在名单上写上你的名字。available是形容词，表示可用的，现成可使用的，合用的，便于利用的，在手边的；适用于…的；可得到的，可获得的；可达到的；近便的；便利的，便于使用的。
