Unit 3 Inventors and inventions
李仕才
一、阅读理解
A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.
The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.
The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.
It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winter season-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."
Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin will sell at ￡ 430 while customers will need to pay a ￡ 107 subscript ion fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.
They added: “After the office version, we plan to crea te an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”
1.What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?
A. It works automatically.
B. It has been used widely.
C. It is easy to operate.
D. It is very expensive.
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The waste.
B. The camera.
C. The bin.
D. The sensor.
3.Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?
A. To change people’s behaviour,
B. To satisfy increasing demands.
C. To popularize new technology.
D. To make them more famous.
4.Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin. E’s official?
A. At home.
B. In the supermarket.
C. In the open air.
D. In the office.
【文章大意】本文介绍了一款可以智能分类垃圾的“智能垃圾箱”。并对它的设计，市场应用进行了介绍。
2.C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据上段The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling
categories without needing people to operate这项发明可以帮助垃圾分类，可知it 指代the smart bin，故选C。
4.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章However, at first only a larger version designed for
offices will be available.最初只有一个为办公室设计的更大胆版本才可以使用。可知最初是在办公室使用，故选D。
二、教材与语法填空

Now, for the first time in human history, perhaps there is one—English. It is the official language in more than 50 countries and 250－300 million speak it as a second language. Some say that half the world will be speaking it in the year 2050. Difficult to master? English is not the easiest language to learn—most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary—at least 200，000 words are in common use. Its pronunciation and written form are also very different. User－friendly But some things make it easy—nouns don't have gender and verbs are less complicated than other languages. There is only one form to speak to someone directly—?you‘. Adjectives don't agree with nouns, and many nouns are often also verbs.
