1、 Passage Two
Questionsare based on the following passage.
The Wall Street Journal quoted sources close to thecompany as saying a run of 4.000 devices will be manufacturednext month.The tablet will have two rear-facing camerasand advanced imaging software——and will be shown off at the firm’s forthcomingdevelopers’ conference.Google has said it will not commenton “rumor and speculation”.But in March,Google showed off Project Tango,all effortto bring 3D technology to its handheld devices.Aprototype smart phone had been given out to 200 developers to try out.
The technology makes use of infrared sensors tomeasure depth of surroundings.While the ability to create 3Dimages with small devices is by no means a new technological feat,Google’s strategy will be to harness the hardware to contribute to,among other things,its mapping effort.For instance,the devices could be used tocreate quickly a 3D map of indoor environments.Accordingto the Wall Street Journal,the 3D tablet will be shownof fat Google’s annual developers’ conference at the end of June.
As it did with the Google Glass eyewear product.itis expected the firm will A.low a select number ofdevelopers and engineers to experiment with the technology before a consumerlaunch is planned.a(chǎn)lthough still a relatively minorindustry,the race to create the “killer app” forbuilding and viewing virtual reality environments is building a pace.In March,F(xiàn)acebook swooped in on a$2bn(£1.2bn) deal for OculusVR,a company making a virtual reality headset.
A mini-site for Project Tango has highlighted a fewof the firm’s plans in the area.“Project Tango is an attempt tocreate a mobile device unlike like any other,”the siteexplains.“A mobile device that shares our sense ofspace and movement,that understands and perceives theworld the same way we do.”
In the past few years,devices able to view andcreate 3D images have made it to market,but suffered heavilyfrom a lack of consumer interest,said Jack Kent,an analyst at IHS.“If Google really pushesit,that might change也e dynamicsof the market。”he told the BBC.

There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the 41 head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research 42 everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they're still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real 43 may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country's top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 44 "I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they're not getting better as 45 as I would like.
