2011上海⾼考英语试卷解析精读版 （⼗选九） How would you like to wear the same underwear ( 内⾐裤) for weeks? Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as unpleasant as it sounds. Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide superior resistance to dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials. 穿同样的内⾐好⼏个星期，你会觉得怎么样呢? 由于（我们的）努⼒已经进⼊发展智 能材料,这可能并不像它听起来令⼈不快。⾃洁的⾐服已经被开创出来,这些新材料提供优 越的抗污垢抗⽔（功能）。因此,他们⽐传统材料需要更少的清洁。 The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the “lotus effect”. The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost miraculously clean. By observing nature, scientists are applying the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered （设计=design=project ）. Because of this, some remarkable new products have been launched . Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water. A special coating on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain. In fact, these new windows have already been fixed to some cars. Even when traveling at high speed through rain, these cars never have to use their windshield wipers (⾬刮器). ⾃洁⾐服的发明提供了⼀个⽰例，有关⾃然界是如何帮助科学家开发更好的产品的。 这种⾃洁特性被称为“莲花效应” 。 当然,这个名字起源于荷叶,荷叶⽣长在泥泞的湖泊和河 流,⽽⼏乎奇迹般的⼲净，由此⽽闻名（出淤泥⽽不染）。通过观察⾃然,科学家们将荷叶 的特性运⽤于他们已经在设计的材料。正因为如此,⼀些⾮凡的新产品推出了。其中就有⼀ 种特殊的窗⼜,它耐污垢和⽔。这些窗户上有⼀种特殊涂层不仅可以防⽌污垢黏在他们的表 ⾯，⽽且使得灰尘容易被⾬洗掉。事实上,这些新的窗户已经固定的⼀些汽车上。甚⾄当⾬ 天，,这些车⾼速⾏驶时，从来没有使⽤⾬刮器。 Although we have already seen some practical applications, even more dramatic advance will be made
