Question

【题目】If you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.

“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”

The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.

Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.

Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.

The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.

【1】When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.

A. make a warning sound

A. B.

C. D.

【3】 What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm?

A. It can’t tell between specific events.

B. It is very difficult to use.

C. It uses a kind of battery for power.

D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.

【4】 It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______.

A. the electronic circuit is a little larger

B. it’s very easy to make a Bikealarm

C. it costs too much at present

D. not many Bikealarms are produced

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

试题分析:文章介绍了一种新型的防止自行车被盗的一种报警装置。

【1】A细节理解题。根据第一段中的--- gives off an alarm when it senses movement.以及第四段中的Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement,可知它是依靠发出报警声音来达到防盗的目的。故选A。

【2】B细节理解题。根据第一段中的The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.以及第四段中的I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat可知它应该安装在座子下面的横梁上，故选B。

【3】C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours可知该装置的能量是由电池来提供的。故选C。

【4】D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知Siegel还没有把这种新的报警装置推到市场。故选D。

【学法指导】

细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到，即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征：

1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。

2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的语态，给考生制造障碍。

3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。

4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项（适用于寻找错误选项的题目）。
