Ⅱ. 阅读理解
We have all heard of the smartphone and most of us will have one. Not far behind: the smart home. In the latest issue of Journal Science, Washington State University’s Diane Cook says it won’t be long before our homes act as “intelligent agents” to predict our needs and deal with tasks that improve our health, energy efficiency, even social media.
“Many homes are already halfway there, with computer chips helping microwave food, record TV shows, and turn on coffee makers. What we’re trying to do is get the home to think about what you need as a whole and use different parts to do the right things. ”she says.
Cook has been working on smart homes since 2006. Some test homes in Seattle already show that the technology can help monitor the elderly and remind them to complete ordinary activities like rising, eating and taking medicine.
Similarly, the home can itself control energy use. Smart home technologies can run washers at off-peak times, turn off unneeded appliances(家用电器)and put out lights in empty rooms. Many communities, including Pullman, are testing the concept of the smart home.
While the smartphone lets people take their social media with them, the home could act like a car’s Bluetooth, making hands-free conversation from any room a reality and cameras will let the people “talk face to face from anywhere”.
Although the technology is available, technologies like in-home cameras raise privacy concerns. The technologies, like many others, face a challenge of being accepted and adopted, says Cook. She has seen that in particular with the elderly participants in her studies.
“People will soon understand what these technologies do and see how user-friendly they are. I bet some technologies will develop fast once they’re starting to be used. ”(299W)
1. According to the passage, all of the following statements about the smart home technology are TRUE except that .
A. it is a completely new concept
B. some tests are being carried out
C. it helps improve home management
D. it will soon become a reality
2. According to Cook, the smart home technology can benefit .
A. the parents monitoring their kids’ behavior
B. the housewives with babies to attend
C. the nurses in the hospital nearby
D. the senior people who need taking care for
3. According to Paragraph 4, the smart home technology will help people .
A. make more money
B. use a new form of energy
C. improve the energy efficiency
D. develop the sense of saving
4. One of the obstacles that prevent the smart home technology from being accepted is .
A. the concern about people’s privacy
B. the concern about the cost from it
C. the concern about the loss of tradition
D. the concern about elderly people
5. What does Cook think of the smart home technology?
A. Useful but much too costly.
B. Challenging but promising.
C. Convenient and affordable.
D. User-friendly and practical.
Ⅲ. 任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意: 请将答案写在相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest(讨厌的事物)and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed into crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?
But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accidents, or fires? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify(证明是有理的)myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi driver I should find a car as a necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】选C。句意: 众所周知, 树与美景可以净化我们的心灵, 无论何时我们看到它们。refresh净化;raise提高, 饲养;encourage鼓励;arouse引起。
2.【解析】选B。句意: 如今, 人们为了响应哥本哈根气候大会为解决全球变暖而倡导的低碳生活, 许多人都徒步上班。in response to为响应;in relation to与……有关;in addition to此外;in opposition to与……相反。
3.【解析】选A。句意: 他脸上表现出的害怕的表情证明他非常害怕。terrifying令人害怕的;terrified感到害怕的。
4.【解析】选C。句意: 多亏他的强壮体质, 杰克才能从最近的大病中康复。pull through康复, 痊愈。pull up停车;pull over停到一边;pull out退出。
5.【解析】选D。考查过去分词作定语。句意: 此外, 许多人死于欧洲人带来的疾病。diseases与bring之间为被动关系, 故用过去分词形式。
【变式备选】
If you want a letter , you must keep in mind several rules while .
A. written; written
B. well written; writing
C. well writing; writing
D. well written; write
【解析】选B。第一个空为过去分词作定语, 分词所表示的动作write与它所修饰的名词letter之间为动宾关系, 所以用过去分词。第二个空是while加现在分词作时间状语, 其逻辑主语you与现在分词所表示的动作write之间为主动关系。故答案为B。
6.【解析】选C。句意: 随着祖父年纪越来越大, 他的头发开始变白, 记忆力也开始衰退。as在此表示“随着……”, 引导时间状语从句。
7.【解析】选A。句意: 不管发生什么事, 你都应该保持乐观。看一下事物好的一面。optimistic乐观的;energetic精力旺盛的;creative有创造力的;practical实用的。根据最后一句可知应选A。
8. 【解析】选C。take over在此表示“接管”, 与句意相符。take back拿回, 撤销;take on呈现, 承担;take up占据, 从事。
9. 【解析】选D。考查冠词的用法。句意: 朴槿惠当选为韩国总统, 成为韩国历史上第一位女总统。在英语中表示职位的名词在句中作宾语补足语或者是主语补足语时不用冠词, 而序数词前应加定冠词, 所以答案选D。
10. 【解析】选C。由下文的“you can come to me anytime you like”可知工作日程是非常灵活的。flexible灵活的;available可得到的, 可利用的;accessible可到达的, 可使用的;changeable可能变化的, 易变的。
11.【解析】选D。句意: 我现在很忙, 但我希望下周抽时间回复你的来信。make allowance for考虑到, 体谅;cater for迎合;account for说明……的原因;get around to doing sth. 抽时间做某事。
12.【解析】选C。考查同位语从句。句意: 消息从美国传来, 至少100人死于这次飓风。that引导同位语从句, 说明word的内容。
【知识拓展】
that引导的同位语从句与定语从句的比较
首先, 从意义上讲: 同位语从句是对某一抽象概念名词的补充说明或者对它进行解释;然而定语从句是对前一名词进行修饰限定。
其次, 从结构上讲: 同位语从句中连接代词that不指前一名词, 不在从句中担当任何成分, 不能省略;然而定语从句中that是指先行词, 须在定语从句中担当某一成分, 可以作主语、宾语、表语, 作宾语时可以省略。此外, 同位语从句所补充说明的名词多为一些表示抽象概念的名词, 如fact, news, hope, truth, idea, suggestion, thought, question, order, problem, belief, fear, promise, information, doubt等;而定语从句所修饰限定的名词却无限定。
例如: 1. The news that we are having a holiday is not true. 我们将会放假的消息是谣传。该句中that we are having a holiday为同位语从句, 是对news的补充说明, 而that不作任何语法成分, 只起连接作用。
2. The news that we received yesterday was from my father. 我们昨天收到的这则消息来自于我父亲。该句为定语从句, that we received作定语修饰先行词news, news作received的宾语, that可以省略。
13. 【解析】选D。由下文的“let alone a new apartment”, 可知“我买不起新房子”。You must be joking. 你一定在开玩笑吧。Are you sure? 你确信吗? Don’t mention it. 没关系, 不用谢。
14.【解析】选B。考查虚拟语气。答语后句句意: 要是明天下雨, 我们就取消运动会。由从句结构以及句意可知, 该句与将来事实相反。
15.【解析】选C。由答句句意可知, 刀子需要磨锋利些。主语与sharpen之间为被动关系, need后可以接doing, 且动名词的主动形式表示被动意义也可接to be done的形式。
Ⅱ. 随着科技的发展, 人们不仅拥有了智能手机, 而且智能家庭的梦想也已经离人们越来越近。根据华盛顿州立大学的Diane Cook所进行的研究和实验, 未来的智能家庭将会在健康护理、能源利用、社交媒体的使用等诸多方面带来全新的理念。
1.【解析】选A。细节理解题。从文章第二段的Many homes are already halfway there说明这并不是一个全新概念, 文章第三段提到Cook has been working on smart homes since 2006. 可知一些测试正在进行, 根据第一段也可知道, 智能家庭技术会给家庭管理方面带来很多的好处, 并且不久就成为现实, 故只有A项不是真实的, 其他都是真实的。
2. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。从文章第三段的that the technology can help monitor the elderly and remind them to complete ordinary activities like rising, eating and taking medicine可知智能家庭技术可以让需要照顾的老人受益。
3.【解析】选C。细节理解题。文章第四段描述了智能家庭技术在能源的有效利用方面所起的作用, 文章中的the home can itself control energy use. Smart home technologies can run washers at off-peak times, turn off unneeded appliances and put out lights in empty rooms. 说明了这项技术可以帮助人们提高能源利用率。
4.【解析】选A。细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段中的Although the technology is available, technologies like in-home cameras raise privacy concerns. 可知, 尽管智能家庭技术有很多优势, 但是人们担心会泄露隐私, 这是影响其推广应用所遇到的一个困难。
5. 【解析】选B。判断推理题。从文章倒数第二段中的The technologies, like many others, face a challenge of being accepted and adopted及最后一段可知, 智能家庭技术既面临着挑战也有着非常好的前景, 故选B项。
