(2020·合肥第一次质检)We can have video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of a mountain. But communicating with a submarine(潜艇) or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne(空气传播的) devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we’ve shown is that it’s actually
19
feasible to communicate from underwater to the air,” says Fadel Adib, a professor at MIT’s Media Lab, who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations(震动) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data. A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. “It has any number of potential realworld uses,” Adib says. “It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane’s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.”
Right now the technology is lowresolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions—high waves, storms, schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction—air to water. If the technology proves successful in realworld conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项麻省理工学院的科学家发明的从水下与地面上的人进行通信的技术。
5.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1?
A.The future of video chat underwater and in air.
B.The frustrations of developing underwater devices.
C.The difficulty of communication from water to air.
D.The current situation of communicating with a submarine.
C 解析:段落大意题。通读第一段的内容可知,该段主要讲的是从水下与地面的人进行通信非常困难,故选C。
6.What does the underlined word “feasible” mean?
A.Achievable. B.Convenient.
C.Changeable. D.Alternative.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Now, researchers at MIT have developed...underwater communication.”可知,麻省理工学院的研究人员发明了一种可能改变水下通信的方法,使从水下与地面上的人进行沟通成为可能,故A项“可实现的”与画线词意思最相近。故选A。
7.What do we know about TARF?
A.It is widely used to find downed planes.
19
B.It can work well at great depths underwater.
C.It is an underwater machine that sends signals.
D.It can send, receive and read signals from underwater.
D 解析:推理判断题。文章第三段详细讲述了TARF系统的工作原理:该系统使用一个水下机器向水面发送声呐信号,对0到1秒的数据产生震动,然后水面接收器读取并对这些微小的震动进行重新编码,这样可以从水下与地面上的人进行通信。故选D。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Realworld Uses of Sonar Technology
B.Full Watertoair Communication Closer to Reality
C.A Breakthrough in the Application of Video Chat
D.TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication
B 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了科学家发明的一种从水下与地面上的人进行通信联系的系统,研究人员将会把它投入到真实的状况下进行验证,因此B项最适合作本文标题。
