阅读理解 How can you hear your friends’ voices when they are far away and you can’t make a long—distance call? Besides the web camera system with your computer, we have a new high-tech way to solve the problem and ease your pain of missing them.The Japanese company Combiwith created a system—“talking picture”. It makes people in pictures speak!The “talking picture” has a special pen. It is actually a pen-shaped scanner. It can scan information in special—made pictures. A connected player will then play the information out loud.First, you need to take a picture and record what you want to say with the company. The company will then make special barcodes(条形码) onto your picture(you can’t see those codes). Those codes are your voice and your words. When you hold up the pen to scan your picture with barcodes, a player connected to the pen will start to play. It plays things you’ve recorded. That way the invention makes the “you” in the picture speak!Do you want your friends and families talking out of pictures? Have them make pictures like that, and you can hear them whenever you want, only with the “talking picture” system. The system can play messages for up to 12 minutes.“The pictures would be useful for those who hope to hear the voice of someone living far away,” said Mayumi Fuji, a spokeswoman for the company. “Grandparents, for example, longing to know about their grandchildren, would be happy to hear their voice when they see the picture,” Fuji said.But it is troublesome to go to the company for taking a special picture first. And, it is much more expensive than using a telephone. The photo with barcodes costs between 17,040 and 17,990 yen(日元)(160 and 169 dollars). The larger picture you want, the more you pay.Now, just raise a finger, lonely people can have their loved ones speak out of pictures. But, whether the “talking picture” is practical or not, let’s wait and see.1.What does “talking pictures” mean according to this article?A.The picture can play what’s been recorded as if the person in the picture “talks”.B.You can have a talk with the person in the picture whenever you want to.C.The picture can tell you wonderful stories to ease your pain.D.The picture can tell what’s on your mind when you are looking at it.2.If you want to make a talking picture, you need to ________.A.take a picture and record what you want to say with the companyB.make special barcodes onto your pictureC.a pen—shaped scanner to go with the pictureD.All of the above3.Which of the following is NOT true accordingly?A.The talking picture system can play messages for 12 minutes at most.B.It will cost you more to take a larger talking picture.C.It might take a lot of trouble to make a talking picture.D.You can make a talking picture by just raising a finger.4.What is the attitude of the author?A.Optimistic.B.Uncertain.C.Positive.D.Pessimistic.

ADDB解析1.归纳题：从文章第四段的内容，可知道是A，说明是能播放记录的内容好像人说话。2.还是从文章第四段内容说明是A、B、C、都对，选D。3.排除题Now, just raise a finger, lonely people can have their loved ones speak out of pictures. 这句话是说动动手指就可以让所爱的人说话。但是D项说动动手指就可以做一张照片所以是错的。4.推断题：从文章的最后一句话But, whether the “talking picture” is practical or not, let’s wait and see. 可知作者是不确定的态度。选B。
