With the rapid development of science and technology,our daily life has changed a lot. A young
Toronto inventor named Adrien Beyk has made a great contribution(贡献)to this. He created Quanta Vici,a line of gloves and socks. 1 They are connected to the user's smart phone and can be electronically heated at the touch of a button(按钮).
Beyk came up with the idea while studying engineering at Ryerson university in Toronto and dealing with Canadian winters. He said, “It's like a three-minute walk, but my hands and feet would freeze(冻僵).I want to put what I've learned into practice and invent something to help with this. 2 ”It took him three years to work on this.
Using what the company calls“smart sense control”,the inventor has made great progress in warmth lasting time of the gloves. 3 Some users say it is significantly(显著的)longer than other heated gloves on the market. 4 Accordingly, this advantage has attracted many music lovers.
Beyk said it was his love for computer engineering and fashion that made him interested in starting Quanta Vici. “ 5 The great imagination has been leading me to better the gloves all the time,”he said.
根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。
A. The biggest thing about this is that they're smart.
B. This is not Beyk's only successful business project.
C. Besides, they are thin enough to be used to play musical instruments.
D. They can keep us warm in the coldest Canadian winters.
E. The gloves are planned to be available in the New Year.
F. This seemed like a great chance to mix fashion and technology.
G. They can keep the user's preferred temperature for up to 6.5 hours.
答案解析：
1. 第一个空的前一句提到“He created Quanta Vici，a line of gloves and socks”，其意思是“他创造了Quanta Vici，一系列的手套和袜子”，后一句提到“They are connected to the user's smart phone and can be electronically heated at the touch of a button”，其意思是“它们与用户的智能手机相连，只需按一个按钮就可以电子加热”，这两句话都是在描述这种手套和袜子的功能，所以第一个空需要描述这种手套和袜子的总体特点，选项A“它们最大的特点是智能”符合题意，且能很好地引出后文关于手套和袜子智能功能的描述。其他选项要么是关于手套或袜子的某一具体功能，要么是与主题不相关的内容，所以均可排除。因此，第一个空应填：A. The biggest thing about this is that they're smart。
2. 第二个空的前一句提到“I want to put what I've learned into practice and invent something to help with this”，其意思是“我想把我学到的东西付诸实践，发明一些能帮助解决这个问题的东西”，由此可知，拜克想发明一种能帮助解决他遇到的问题的东西，再结合后一句“It took him three years to work on this”可知，他在解决这个问题上花了三年时间，所以第二个空需要描述拜克遇到的问题，选项D“它们可以在加拿大最冷的冬天为我们保暖”与前文拜克想解决在加拿大冬天手脚冻僵的问题相呼应，且“它们”指代前文提到的手套和袜子，说明拜克发明手套和袜子的初衷是为了保暖。其他选项要么与主题不相关，要么与前后文无法衔接，所以均可排除。因此，第二个空应填：D. They can keep us warm in the coldest Canadian winters。
3. 第三个空的前一句提到“Using what the company calls‘smart sense control’，the inventor has made great progress in warmth lasting time of the gloves”，其意思是“利用公司所谓的‘智能感应控制’，这位发明者在手套的保暖持续时间方面取得了巨大进展”，由此可知，此处描述的是手套的保暖持续时间方面的进展，所以第三个空需要描述手套在保暖持续时间上的具体表现，选项G“它们可以保持用户偏好的温度长达6.5小时”符合题意，且与前文提到的保暖持续时间方面的进展相呼应。其他选项要么与主题不相关，要么与前后文无法衔接，所以均可排除。因此，第三个空应填：G. They can keep the user's preferred temperature for up to 6.5 hours。
4. 第四个空的前一句提到“Some users say it is significantly longer than other heated gloves on the market”，其意思是“一些用户说，它的保暖时间明显比其他市场上的加热手套要长”，由此可知，此处描述的是手套的保暖时间比其他市场上的加热手套要长，所以第四个空需要继续描述手套的其他优点，选项C“此外，它们足够薄，可以用来演奏乐器”符合题意，且“此外”表示对前文内容的补充，与前文描述的保暖时间长这一优点相呼应。其他选项要么与主题不相关，要么与前后文无法衔接，所以均可排除。因此，第四个空应填：C. Besides，they are thin enough to be used to play musical instruments。
5. 第五个空的前一句提到“Beyk said it was his love for computer engineering and fashion that made him interested in starting Quanta Vici”，其意思是“拜克说，他对计算机工程和时尚的热爱让他对创办Quanta Vici产生了兴趣”，由此可知，此处描述的是拜克创办Quanta Vici的初衷，所以第五个空需要描述拜克对时尚和技术的结合感兴趣的原因，选项F“这似乎是一个将时尚和技术结合起来的绝佳机会”符合题意，且“这”指代前文提到的他对计算机工程和时尚的热爱，说明他将这种热爱看作是将时尚和技术结合起来的绝佳机会。其他选项要么与主题不相关，要么与前后文无法衔接，所以均可排除。因此，第五个空应填：F. This seemed like a great chance to mix fashion and technology。
