A cheap printed sensor (传感器) could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed the forests across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect (监测) such fires earlier with less effort.
Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alarms come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but "the fire first appears on the ground, " Wang says. "When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. "
The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks’ bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a quick temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $0.40.
But improving coordination among the different companies involved in firefighting is even more important to deal with, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not part of the study. Kent is director of ALERT Wildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada and Oregon. "The whole way that you respond to a fire until it’s put out is like a ballet, " he says. "You’d have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources accurately used at the right time and place in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭). Fire detection is just step one. "
Wang says his team’s next steps are to extend the device’s signal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield (防护罩) for it. The transmitter’ s effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.
What’s the plan for the new sensor according to Wang_________?
选项
A、Improving and testing it.
B、Limiting its use and transmission.
C、Examining and reducing its signal range.
D、Getting it on the market ahead of time.
答案
C
解析
根据文章最后一段的内容可知,王亚培的团队的下一步是将该设备的信号范围扩大到目前的100米以外,这可能会限制实际使用,并为其开发一种保护屏蔽。他指出,发射机的有效性也需要在未来的战场上进行测试。由此可知,他的团队会对新型传感器进行改进和测试,故选C。
