题型突破(三) 细节理解之事件排序题
A
We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smart phones today.We can also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time.We can’t send tastes，smells or touch，of course.But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.
Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London.He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.He said，“In the real world，we can open up the glass，open the window.We can touch，we can taste，we can smell in the real world.”
To give users a sense of taste，researchers designed two electrodes(电极) that are placed on the tongue.A chemical process creates different tastes through molecules(微粒) on the surface of the tongue.This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something.They have already created sour，salty，sweet and bitter tastes.
“You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth，you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain.”
A device(设备) called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell.Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances，including flowers，fruits and coffee.Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.
Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells.The container must be replaced when all the scents (pleasant smells) run out.

(2017·扬州模拟)
Joey Moreland awoke in his hotel bed in Boston a few minutes before noon.He had slept deeply，partly because he had been exhausted by the time he’d gotten to bed，but also because he’d taken care of some of the things that had been worrying him.He had received Kelly’s text message when he was on his way to her apartment.He had told her exactly what to do.As soon as she heard his car approaching the apartment building，she should run for it.
When he had pulled to the roadside in front of the apartment she started her dash toward the front door.He could see her through the glass.Then she was in the car and he was making a rapid series of turns to end up on Interstate 95 and heading south.It had taken him a few minutes to get Kelly to explain what had happened.She kept crying，and gasped whenever she talked.
The man who had come to see her had terrified her.He had been telling her about every girl Joey Moreland had been with in about three years，and how he had needed to leave them behind after a job.Who was this guy？If he had tracked down Moreland in three states and across the country，he could be the FBI.
Moreland couldn’t have that.He couldn’t have Kelly suddenly realize that the man couldn’t have pictures of all those dead girls unless they were real.He couldn’t have Kelly，who

was，too，five ten，with fiery red hair two feet long，tell the cops anything about him.He had to hang around Boston long enough to kill Salazar，or the people who had paid for Salazar’s life would take his instead.
So，in the end，having thought about it，and about Kelly，he’d had to kill her.He’d driven the highway south of the city and then had stopped at the edge of a field.He told her he had stopped on the way to pick up an emergency kit he had hidden in the field，so they could leave town together.He had expected to get her to get through the hole in the chain-link fence.She would feel like she was accomplishing something，and that on the other side of that dark place was going to be light and warmth and safety.
But she hadn’t been stupid enough.She had started to cry harder，saying “Please”．He’d had to shoot her.He would have liked to leave Boston now that Kelly was dead.Her death had deprived(夺走) him of a place to live where nobody knew him and there was no record that he had been there.Now that he had checked into a hotel，that advantage was gone.He had used a false name and credit card，but he had not been able to stay completely invisible.
He had to stay in Boston and finish his job，and he couldn’t rush things by even a minute.Salazar was going to arrive in town today，check into his hotel，and then appear at City Hall at three o’clock.He wasn’t going to stick his head out sooner just because Joey Moreland wanted to.
Joey was anxious.There was a kind of cop or private detective hunting for him now and that was a big worry.He had always been careful never to draw the attention of cops and people like them.He had thought of staying with the girls as leaving no track，but apparently the girls were his track.
He wished he could leave now，but if he didn’t kill Salazar here，he would have to go and get him in Mexico，and that was probably impossible for him.He spoke no Spanish and looked like an American.Besides，he would have to transport his own weapons across a border.
Moreland had to go through with his original plan.He would reassure(使……安心) himself by spending the rest of his time planning everything about the killing and the consequence that he had not already planned and prepared.
