accidents.Unlike cars,bicycles don*t come with rear view mirrors(后视镜),which is why British product design firmDCA created the Optic helmet.The helmet has front and rear cameras and a drop-down visor(面罩)that candisplay road conditions in real-time from the rear camera onto a riders field of view.The visor can show warnings.If a vehicle is overtaking(超过)the rider,it can warn the rider by combining data from the cameras on the frontand back of the helmet.In addition,the Optic helmet can provide GPS navigation information for riders who wantto track their performance.The design is now just a concept,but it won the Best of the Best“Red Dot DesignAward recently.Richard Price,a designer at DCA and the brains behind the project,said the helmet is aimed at reducingcycling accidents.Because the helmet is just a concept design,some of the details have yet to be decided,such asthe exact method for projecting video onto the visor.However,Price said Google Glass has already shown that thisis practical.The Optic helmet will be able to connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth to allow maps and routinginformation to be updated,but actual navigation will be carried out by the helmet using its onboard(自 身携带的)GPS unit.It can be controlled either by a touchpad next to the visor or by using gestures picked up by the frontcamera.“Users can order what is shown in the visor to suit their needs and to make sure the display doesn*t distractthem.Price said.Since the designs were made public,Price said the design firm has received plenty of positivefeedback from cyclists and cycling companies.But actually,putting the device into production will require lots ofmoney,so it is unclear when or if the helmet will be available to consumers.12.Which is NOT right about the Optic helmet?A.It has been put into mass production.B.It can provide GPS navigation information.C.It can give cyclists a 360-degree view of the road.D.It has front and rear cameras to provide road information.13.What can we know from the text?A.Richard Price designed the Optic helmet.B.Google offered help in designing the helmet.C.The Optic helmet is mainly made of steel.D.Consumers can order the new helmet online now.14.Why has the helmet been designed?A.To win the Red Dot Design Award.B.To make a large amount of profit.C.To help reduce cycling accidents.D.To give cyclists a cool experience.15.What is the possible attitude of the public towards the Optic helmet?A.Critical.B.Doubtful.C.Negative.D.Positive.【答案】12.A 13.A 14.C
