You would have seen 115,000 people buzzing with confidence and excitement. On

2、 the other hand, noting how many passers-by were loudly talking to themselves, you might have concluded that you had wandered into the International Expo of Eccentrics. Instead, it was the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, held in Jan. 9th 12th. No wonder those attending were happy.

3、First, of course, they were in their element, surrounded by the smallest and shiniest new gadgets (小配件). Second, despite the gloom in other slices of the economy, sales of consumer electronics in the United States actually grew last year (to a record $96 billion). This trade show of manufacturers, r

4、etailers and customers was alive with energy and crowded with exhibits.The vitality of this exposition is a sign of the times. The interest and innovation in PCs is nothing next to the action in other realms of high tech. As proof, compare the show with what was once its big brother: Comdex, the per

5、sonal-computer trade show held each November at the same site. Thanks to the severe decline in the PC industry, the 2002 Las Vegas Comdex was only half the size of its 2000 incarnation. The 2,200 booths included lavish displays by Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Toshiba and other heavy hitters. But hundre

6、ds of smaller, quirkier companies were also present, exhibiting electric toothbrushes, illuminated cell-phone faceplates, laser pens and publications from Widescreen Review to Progressive Grocer. There were 46 exhibitors in the alarm-clock category alone, and even an electric-typewriter company.To r

7、each those smaller booths, though, you had to pass what seemed like half the $10,000 plasma(等离子)TV screens ever made. This proliferation(丰富) of gorgeous wide-screen sets was only one hint that TV makers, at least, are ready for the great American switch to high-definition television, which the Feder

8、al Communications Commission hopes to see completed by 2006.But a few obstacles stand between the average American and high-def happiness: the prices of these sets, the reluctance of cable companies to broadcast high-definition shows, Hollywoods campaign to cripple high-definition broadcasts so that

9、 you cant record them, and so on. (As many seminar panelists observed, however, strides are being made in all those areas.)The most interesting items at Microsofts booth were the prototype wristwatches that use the companys new Smart Personal Object Technology (SPOT) software. Due by years end from

10、Citizen, Fossil and other companies, these watches can receive messages, news, weather, sports and stock reports wirelessly in metropolitan areas for a small monthly fee, of course.The most alarming item at Microsofts booth, on the other hand, was its six-room mock-up of an American house with Micro

11、soft productscars, phones, TVs, games, appliancesin every nook and cranny. Its only a matter of time before youll see people rebooting their toasters. The digital camera models on display were cheaper, better and smaller than their predecessors. Olympuss Stylus 400, for example, is a tiny, silver, p

12、ocketable wonder that takes four-megapixel photos (enough resolution for 13-by-19-inch prints). Its due in the spring for $400. 1. Why are 115,000 people buzzing with confidence and excitement? A They are truly strange people to feel overexcited at seeing new things.B They are going to be pleased by

13、 the passers-by.C They are visiting the International Expo of New Products.D They are feeling optimistic at seeing the displays on CES.2. The 2002 Las Vegas Comdex was held only half the size of its 2000 incarnation because _.A the industry lacks exciting innovations.B the industry slowed down its d

14、evelopment.C the sale volume greatly shrank that year D its production declined for short of capital 3. The fact that there were 46 exhibitors in the alarm-clock category alone shows_.A the alarm-clock making industry has contributed greatest to the success of the showB the small industrial sectiona

18、alysis system to increase the understanding of the workings of the internal combustion engine. The laser has been incorporated into systems to measure drop size, velocity and vibration to name but a few. But few laser-based systems are able to aid the study of all these phenomena with the same syste

19、m. The Applied Optics Group at Rover Groups Gardon Research & Development Center have been using just such a system and finding new uses for it all the time.The system in use is a High Speed Imagining Division of Oxford Lasers LTD. The High Speed Imaging system comprises an Oxford Lasers LS20 Copper

20、 Vapor laser linked to a Kodak 4540 Digital High Speed Motion Analysis Camera capable of taking up to 40,500 digital frames per second. The Kodak 4540 records the images to DRAM memory allowing immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing, recording to videotape or to PC for analysis. The

21、Copper Vapor laser acts as a short duration flash emitting pulses of only 30 nanoseconds in duration in full synchronization with the frame rate of the camera The flashes have the effect of reducing the exposure time of the camera, thus removing image blur due to the high speed of the subject under

22、view, whilst maintaining image contrast due to the high intensity of the laser light. Another feature of the system is the ability to focus down the light. This has two benefits. The first is the ability to make laser light sheets for the 2 dimensional illumination of 3 dimensional subjects. This te

23、chnique has great benefit when used to map the air flow into the combustion chamber of a running model engine. Not only can the air-flow be mapped but the progress of the flame front growth during the combustion cycle. The second is the ability to shine the laser light down a fiber optic cable. This

24、 aids in the illumination of areas of the running engine very difficult to access by normal optics. This has been particularly useful in the study of air motion in a variety of combustion system concepts.The group plans to use the Copper Vapor laser to improve the ability of the technique to see the

25、se vibrations and therefore allow a better understanding of the cause of them. The technique could also applied to look at the airbag enclosure as it tears and composite materials under dynamic crush testing. 6.

37、A B D资料4：You stare at waterfall for a minute or two, and then shift your gaze to its surroundings. What you now see appears to drift upward.These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the bodys sensors and interpreting what must be happ

38、eningthat your brain must have moved, not the other; that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion.The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. Thes

39、e are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles away.Color vision in each eye comes from six to seven million structures called cones. Under ideal conditions, every cone can “see” the entire rainbow spectrum of visible colors, but one type of c

40、one is most sensitive to red, another to green, a third to blue.Rods and cones send their messages pulsing an average 20 to 25 times per second along the optic nerve. We see an image for a fraction of a second longer than it actually appears. In movies, reels of still photographs are projected onto

41、screens at 24 frames per second, tricking our eyes into seeing a continuous moving picture.Like apparent motion, color vision is also subject to unusual effects. When day gives way to night, twilight brings what the poet T.S. Eliot called “the violet hour.” A light levels fall, the rods become progr

42、essively less responsive. Rods are most sensitive to the shorter wavelengths of blue and green, and they impart a strange vividness to the gardens blue flowers.However, look at a white shirt during the reddish light of sunset, and youll still see it in its “true” colorwhite, not red. Our eyes are co

43、nstantly comparing an object against its surroundings. They therefore observe the effect of a shift in the color of illuminating on both, and adjust accordingly.The eyes can distinguish several million graduations of light and shade of color. Each waking second they flash tens of millions of pieces

44、of information to the brain, which weaves them incessantly into a picture of the world around us.Yet all this is done at the back of each eye by a fabric of sensors, called the retina, about as wide and as thick as a postage stamp. As the Renaissance inventor and artist Leonardo da Vinci wrote in wo
