11、 most popular emoticon is the happy face.Lindsey Pollak, a US career coach who works with Millennials (千禧一代), has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplace to being accepted.The reason behind this, according to her, is largely due to the changing of people in a

21、rstand sign language.Engineers at Texas A&M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a persons arms.The device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors: one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the ot

22、her to the muscular movements in the arm.A program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the English translation.“Most of the technology was based on vision or camerabased solutions，” said study lead researcher Roozbeh Jafari, an associate professor of biomedical engine

23、ering at Texas A&M University.These existing designs, Jafari said, are not enough, because often when someone is talking with sign language, he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements.“I thought maybe we should look into combining motion sensors and muscle activation，”J

24、afari told Live Science.“And the idea here was to build a wearable device.”The researchers built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations.Jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program, the engineers will include more words that are le

25、ss frequently used, in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.One drawback of it is that the system has to be “trained” to respond to each individual that wears the device, Jafari said.This training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times, which

27、 and the arm.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，该设备配有两套传感装置：一套感应腕部的动作，另一套感应手臂肌肉的动作。故选D项。29The researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to_.Amake it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talkingBmake the translation process fasterCcompete with existing designsDmake it userfriendly解析：选A细节理解题。根据

28、第一段的内容和第二段第一句可知，研究人员决定研制可穿戴设备是为了使失聪者和不懂手语的人交流时更方便监测各种手势。30We can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4 by “_”Anecessary BinfluentialCextensive Dessential解析：选C词义猜测题。根据画线词上文的“. expanding the program, the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used .”可知，目前这一设备只收录了最常用的词汇，将来还会收录更

29、多低频使用的词汇，由此可知，substantial在此表示“大量的”。extensive意为“广泛的；大量的”。故选C项。31What can we infer from the text?AThe device has greatly increased in sales.BThe device still requires much improvement.CWe should work out of 30 minutes.DWe should be trained to respond quickly.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“This training process

30、involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.”可知，要使用这一设备，使用者需要先把所有的手势做几遍，这是该设备的缺陷，由此可推测，该设备还有改进的空间。D(2018浙江名校协作体联考)The history of Teachers Day traces back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC 220 AD).
