Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your puter.
This is not a fantasy. A British pany, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the pany, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended (混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shock proof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap-tap” gadgets (器具)are all set to take over laptop puters!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat fortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having pleted the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a puter mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?

(答案→)A
解析：本文介绍了一些有人工智能的高科技的服装的具体信息。
【小题1】A 细节题。根据第三段2，3行Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered.可知他们都需要充电。故A正确。
【小题2】C 细节题。根据文章第三段最后3行Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shock proof, they say.可知现在这种衣服还需要充电，希望未来可以使用体温来进行充电。故这就是我们未来改善的方面，故C正确。
【小题3】C 细节题。根据本段1,2行Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat fortably with others at the wheel!可知第二句的This handy invention就是指第一句的the shirt-cum-mobile phone.故C正确。
【小题4】B 推理题。根据最后一段4,5行The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.可知这种jacket可以提供定位功能，防止失踪等情况。故B正确。
【小题5】D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段和最后一段所介绍的这些高科技的有智能的服装的情况可知D正确。
