(2020·合肥第一次質(zhì)檢)We can have video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of a mountain. But communicating with a submarine(潛艇) or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne(空氣傳播的) devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we’ve shown is that it’s actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air,” says Fadel Adib, a professor at MIT’s Media Lab, who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations(震動(dòng)) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data. A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. “It has any number of potential real-world uses,” Adib says. “It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane’s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.”
Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions—high waves, storms, schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction—air to water. If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.

A.It is widely used to find downed planes.
B.It can work well at great depths underwater.
C.It is an underwater machine that sends signals.
D.It can send, receive and read signals from underwater.
D 解析:推理判斷題。文章第三段詳細(xì)講述了TARF系統(tǒng)的工作原理:該系統(tǒng)使用一個(gè)水下機(jī)器向水面發(fā)送聲吶信號(hào),對(duì)0到1秒的數(shù)據(jù)產(chǎn)生震動(dòng),然后水面接收器讀取并對(duì)這些微小的震動(dòng)進(jìn)行重新編碼,這樣可以從水下與地面上的人進(jìn)行通信。故選D。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Real-world Uses of Sonar Technology
B.Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to Reality
C.A Breakthrough in the Application of Video Chat
