托福閱讀中地理學(xué)的常識(shí)問(wèn)題
閱讀中涉及地理學(xué)知識(shí)的時(shí)候，往往不會(huì)向太專業(yè)的方向靠攏，因此事先準(zhǔn)備一下。了解一些地理常識(shí)還是很有必要的。一起來(lái)看看吧!

托福閱讀材料：可穿戴鍵盤
The Apple Watch and Google Glass are some of the most widely known wearable devices, but the ways users can interact with these “smart” gadgets are limited. For instance, it would be pretty difficult to type a message out on the face of a watch. And forget even trying with a pair of smart glasses. But now, researchers have developed wearable keyboards made of electronics knitted together like fabric that could lead to a new kind of human-machine interface.
蘋果手表和谷歌眼鏡是最廣為人知的可穿戴設(shè)備， 但用戶與這些“智能”物件的互動(dòng)方式卻有限。例如，在智能手表表盤輸入文字信息相當(dāng)困難, 更甭想在智能眼鏡上嘗試輸入信息了。但如今，研究人員已經(jīng)研發(fā)出電子元件織成的面料般的可穿戴鍵盤，這種鍵盤可提供一種全新的人機(jī)互動(dòng)界面。
Right now, the key way that people interact with computers is by using the keyboard, researchers say. However, creating wearable keyboards for wearable electronics is a challenging task—such keyboards have to be large to fit enough keys to be useful, and must be flexible and stretchable to follow the movements of the human body.
研究人員說(shuō)，目前，人與電腦互動(dòng)的主要方式是使用鍵盤。然而，為可穿戴電子產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)建可穿戴式鍵盤很有挑戰(zhàn)性——這種鍵盤要想實(shí)用，必須很寬大，能容納足夠多的按鍵，并且必須具備適應(yīng)人體運(yùn)動(dòng)的靈活性和延展性。
In the past three years or so, researchers have tried to make electronics more wearable by making them like clothing—for instance, by knitting wires together into fabrics. These electronic textiles can get stretched up to the limit where the fibers are straightened. Such technology “provides a simple way to interact with machines,” said Esma Ismailova, a polymer science engineer at the National School of Mines in Gardanne, France, and co-author of a new study describing the new keyboards.
過(guò)去三年左右的時(shí)間里，研究人員嘗試讓電子器件更有可穿戴性，比如，把金屬絲織入面料。這種電子織物具有和布料纖維一樣的彈性。該技術(shù)“提供了一個(gè)與機(jī)器互動(dòng)的簡(jiǎn)便方式”。法國(guó)加爾達(dá)納國(guó)家礦山學(xué)院的高分子科學(xué)工程師、新鍵盤研究報(bào)告的合作者埃斯瑪·伊斯邁洛娃說(shuō)道。
The researchers started with polyester fabric. They stenciled the outline for an electronic circuit onto the fabric using an electrically insulating silicon rubber called PDMS. Then, they brush-painted an electrically conductive plastic called PEDOT：PSS onto the outline to fill it out. Finally, they coated this electronic circuit with more PDMS.
起初，研究人員從聚酯織物開(kāi)始著手研究，他們用一種叫做PDMS 的電子絕緣硅膠將電路輪廓模印在織物上;隨后，他們又把一種叫做PEDOT：PSS的導(dǎo)電塑料刷填在輪廓槽中并且填滿;最后，涂抹更多的PDMS將電路覆蓋。
The scientists used electrodes to connect this circuit to a computer. Square and rectangular patches of the circuit served as the keys of a keyboard. Pressing down on these patches generated easily detectable electrical signals.
科學(xué)家們用電極將電路連接到電腦上。這些方形和矩形的電路貼片就成了鍵盤的按鍵。按下這些貼片時(shí)，電路就產(chǎn)生容易檢測(cè)到的電子信號(hào)。
The prototype keyboard can be worn on a sleeve and has 11 keys, representing the numbers 0 to 9 as well as an asterisk. The researchers noted that this fabric could be stretched by up to 30 percent and that after 1,000 cycles of stretching and relaxation, the fabric stayed about 90 percent as electrically conducting as it did at the start.
這種原型鍵盤可以戴在衣袖上，有11個(gè)按鍵，代表數(shù)字0至9以及一個(gè)星號(hào)。研究人員指出，這種織物的拉伸幅度可達(dá)30%，經(jīng)過(guò)1000 次反復(fù)拉伸和舒張后，織物仍然保持初始導(dǎo)電性能的90%。
“A wearable keyboard would provide a more intuitive interface for tactile input than the touch-sensitive face of a smartwatch or the hand gestures that control devices such as the Google Glass,” Ismailova told LiveScience[1].
“相比智能手表的觸摸感應(yīng)表盤或是如操控谷歌眼鏡的手勢(shì)而言，可穿戴鍵盤將會(huì)提供一個(gè)更直觀的觸覺(jué)輸入界面?！币了惯~洛娃告訴LiveScience網(wǎng)站說(shuō)。
The researchers suggested that textile keyboards could be woven not only into clothing, but also into furniture, wallpaper and other surfaces. Such technology “promises to enrich our daily lives with smart accessories and to change the way we interact with computers,” Ismailova said.
研究人員稱，這種紡織鍵盤不僅能夠織進(jìn)衣物，還能夠織進(jìn)家具、壁紙及其他物體的表面。伊斯邁洛娃說(shuō)，這種技術(shù)“有望以智能附件來(lái)豐富我們的日常生活，改變我們與電腦互動(dòng)的方式?！?/p>
“One could envision, for example, using such a keyboard to control their smartphone, activity-tracking device or, down the road[2], an implantable medical device,” Ismailova said. “It is a rather straightforward technology, so I would expect some applications in less than five years. Applications in biomedical—for example, textile electrodes for monitoring the heart—might take a bit longer due to regulations.”
“比如，人們可以想象，用這樣一個(gè)鍵盤控制他們的智能手機(jī)、活動(dòng)跟蹤裝置，甚至在不久的將來(lái)，用它來(lái)控制植入式醫(yī)療器件?！币了惯~洛娃說(shuō)，“這是一個(gè)相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單的技術(shù)，所以我期望在五年之內(nèi)能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)一些應(yīng)用。但是，受限于各種法規(guī)，在生物醫(yī)學(xué)方面的應(yīng)用，例如，用織物電極來(lái)監(jiān)視心臟，可能需要更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。”
