After many tiring booksigning tours from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Heres how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet (便笺本) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams (网络摄像机) and computer screens. Work on the LongPen began in Atwoods basement. At first, they had no idea that it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The inventing finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City. The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“Its really fun,”said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs.“Obviously you cant shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you dont get from a regular book signing.” The response to the invention hasnt been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think shes trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it.”1Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?ATo set up her own company.BTo win herself greater popularity.CTo write her books in a new way.DTo make book signings less tiring.答案:D细节理解题。依据文章第二段首句可知,因为经常奔波于城市间进行图书签名,感到疲惫的Atwood开始寻找方法解决这个问题。故选D项。2How does the LongPen work?AIt copies the authors signature and prints it on a book.BIt signs a book while receiving the authors signature.CThe webcam sends the authors signature to another city.DThe fan uses it to copy the authors signature himself.答案:B细节理解题。依据第二段中的“Heres how it works . signs the book.”可知,作者使用一种特殊的笔在计算机的便笺本上写上自己的信息和签名,在另一个城市接收端的机械手臂就会用普通笔把签名签在书上。故选B项。3What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?AIt has been completed but not put into use.BThe basement caught fire by accident.CSome versions failed before its test run.DThe designers were wellprepared for the difficulty.答案:C细节理解题。依据文章第三段整体描述及第三句“The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.”可知,在成功试运行之前,曾经有过几个版本都失败了。故选C项。4How could the LongPen be used in the future?ATo draft legal documents.BTo improve credit card security.CTo keep a record of the authors ideas.DTo allow author and fan to exchange videos.答案:B细节理解题。依据文章第四段第三句可知,LongPen还可以增加信用卡安全性,并且能让在不同省份的人们签署合同。故选B项。BEmployment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago. Times have changed. And so too has the Canadian workforce. Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change. For example, some work environment and washrooms designed for ablebodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair. Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about. For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace, paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job. By doing so, any given group of people formerly discriminated againstnow has access to better employment opportunities. The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society. However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas (配额). Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them. For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public EmployeesCanadas largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population are women, half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women. At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers. A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers (8%) and those who are studying to become engineers (25%). A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people. Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities. If aboriginal people (土著居民), for example, cant qualify for certain jobs because they havent had access to appropriate educational opportunities,then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs. Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.5The passage is mainly about how to _.Amodernize equipment for the disabled at workB
