A Reason to Take Google Glass Seriously

Google Glass critics may now have a reason to be less skeptical.
Wearable Intelligence, a San Francisco-based startup, has 26 an enterprise software that uses Google's wearable computer glasses to improve the day-to-day 27 of service workers.
Medical professionals, for example, can use Google Glass to 28 a patient's medical history without referencing traditional charts on a computer, and so diagnose symptoms more 29 . Or a construction worker could work without ever 30 for a building map.
'It's for the 90% of workers who don't work behind a computer and use their hands a lot,' explains Erlich, a 31 Google product manager. So far, about ten organizations have been testing Wearable Intelligence's software with Glass.
Wearable Intelligence has 32 over $1 million in seed funding. The startup will spend the rest of 2014 adding new 33 —say, automatic sign-off after a few hours—and expanding into other industries, the company says.
As Erlich notes, Glass isn't a final product—the consumer version is expected later in 2014, and wearable technology remains a nascent (新兴的) market. Despite the skeptics, Glass will 34 have a wide variety of applications in the future, says Erlich. 'It may take some 35 amount of time, but it will happen.'

问答题

【正确答案】B

【答案解析】动词辨义题。空格所在的句子缺少谓语动词，根据空格前的has可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词形式。备选词汇中，increased“增加”和raised“筹措；提高”均不能接software作其宾语，故排除。developed意为“研发”，developed an enterprise software意为“研发一种企业软件”，符合此处语境，故选B。

问答题

【正确答案】I

【答案解析】名词辨义题。根据空格前的the day-to-day和空格后的of service workers可以判断，此处需要填入一个名词。day-to-day为形容词，意为“日常的”，相当于daily。备选词汇中能够被day-to-day修饰的只有performance“表现，行为”，故选I。

问答题

【正确答案】M

【答案解析】动词辨义题。根据空格前的can use...to和空格后的a patient's medical history可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词原形，构成use sth. to do sth.这一结构。备选词汇中leap“跳跃”显然不符合此处语境。skim意为“浏览”，用在此处语义通顺，skim a patient's medical history意为“浏览病人的病历”。故选M。

问答题

【正确答案】J

【答案解析】副词辨义题。根据空格前的diagnose symptoms more可以判断，此处需要填入一个副词，修饰动词diagnose。前文中提到，专业医护人员能够使用谷歌眼镜来浏览病人的病历，而无须参考电脑上的传统图表，由此可以推断，专业医护人员的看病速度可能加快，但是看病的准确度与看病历的途径没有必然的关联，因而排除accurately“准确地”。eventually意为“最终”，不能用于比较级，也可排除。quickly“快速地”符合此处语境，故选J。

问答题

【正确答案】L

【答案解析】动词辨义题。根据空格前的without ever和空格后的for abuilding map可以判断，此处需要填入一个动名词，且其后能够接介词for。备选词汇中只有reaching“伸手取(某物)”符合语境，故选L。

问答题

【正确答案】E

【答案解析】形容词辨义题。根据空格前的a和空格后的...manager可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词对Google product manager加以修饰限定。备选词汇中只有former“以前的”符合此处语境。故选E。

问答题

【正确答案】K

【答案解析】动词辨义题。空格所在的句子缺少谓语动词，再由空格前的has可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词形式。备选词汇中能够接over $1 million这一具体数字作宾语的只有increased和raised。increased意为“增加”，用在此处语义不通，故排除。raised有“筹措；提高”之意，raised over $1 million意为“筹集了100多万美元”，语义通顺，故选K。

问答题

【正确答案】D

【答案解析】名词辨义题。根据空格前的形容词new可以判断，此处需要填入一个名词。由破折号后面的say推知，破折号后面的内容对前面的new...起到举例说明的作用，automatic sign-off after a few hours意为“在几小时后自动登出系统”，显然不是一种substance“物质”，而更应该是一种“特征”，因而features“特点，特征”符合此处语境，故选D。

问答题

【正确答案】C

【答案解析】副词辨义题。空格所在的句子并不缺少任何句子成分，再由空格前的will和空格后的have可以判断，此处需要填入一个副词。备选词汇中eventually“最终”显然最符合此处语境，与句中的in the future相照应。故选C。

问答题

【正确答案】O

【答案解析】形容词辨义题。空格所在的句子结构完整，再由空格前的some和空格后的amount可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词修饰amount“数量”。numerous意为“很多的”，不能被some所修饰，可排除。variable意为“变化不定的”，It may take some variable amount of time意为“可能说不准这会花多长时间”，语义通顺。故选O。
