AEcobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat
Smart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most, but
depending on what your home is like, it’s possible to say the ecobee3 is superior.
Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits, including the ecobee3. They
can learn your preferences and schedules, and then adjust the temperature accordingly.
They’re better-looking and more enjoyable to use than the basic pieces of plastic that
occupy most households. Their very presence will probably make you more conscious
about saving energy. And once you’re able to heat up or cool down your house from your
phone, without having to get out of bed, you won’t want to go back.
If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more
convenient—provided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty
expensive at that point, but having those gives you effective control over the temperature
in different rooms around your house. In comparison, other thermostats’ measurements
are largely limited to the area in which they’ re installed (安装).
If you live in a smaller place, that’s no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct
advantages. It is touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when you
want to enter a WiFi password, see weather information, and so on. Still, all the smart
thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on whether you need a
whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now, if it’s the former, go with
the ecobee3.
Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat with Remote Sensor, available at all shopping
websites.
21. What is the function of the ecobee3?
A. Planning schedules. B. Making decoration.
C. Adjusting temperatures. D. Storing information.
22. According to the passage, one of the advantages of the ecobee3 is that ______.
A. it can be operated easily by phone B. it has different sizes
C. it is a product without using energy D. it follows the same pattern
23. What makes the ecobee3 superior?
A. It costs less than those similar products.B. It may work without access to WiFi networks.
C. It is more effective with fewer remote sensors.
D. It can control the temperature in a larger area.
B
It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan — a character from James Matthew
Barrie’s 1911 book — said: “All children, except one, grow up.”
But this “fact” doesn’t seem to apply to today’s world anymore.
According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults
in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the
children’s toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to
vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials
— people born between the 1980s and 2000s.
“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”
commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as
“kidults”.
According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups
is to escape the stress of today’s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more
immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion,
which is far less easy to achieve.
“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in
the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings
him both comfort and entertainment.
Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a
professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing
“the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it
anymore”, he told The New York Times. “That’s actually quite sad.”
But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic
book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express
their individuality. “It’s just pop culture stuff. It’s stuff that says, ‘I like a little of this and I like a little of that’,” he told ABC News. “It’s no big deal.”
So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it’s time to introduce
a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline (标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing
old is mandatory (被迫的), but growing up is optional.”
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?
A. Many adults still have some childlike features.
B. Something old is not suitable for a new world.
C. All children grow up as they become adults.
D. It’s difficult for some children to grow up in today’s world.
25. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Rob Willner believes that the pleasure brought by toys is easier to achieve.
B. Frederique Tutt believes that some adults enjoy playing with children’s toys to
escape the stress.
C. Frank Furendi believes that the thrill of youth does not attract adults.
D. Todd McFarlane is worrying too much about collecting toys.
26. What is the writer’s attitude towards the trend of growing kidults?
A. Supportive B. Doubtful
C. Critical D. Disapproval
27. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Growing Old Or Growing Up B. Toys Sales On The Rise
C. Kidults In Fashion Again D. Staying Young Forever
C
Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After
climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and
green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the
best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and
planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh
and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing
the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move
so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but
something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I
didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to
take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is
what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes
to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who
“ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that
her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom,
after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been
immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to
remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure,
for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two
women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
28. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped working. B. A friend approached from
behind.
C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A woman blocked her view.
29. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?
A. The woman’s existence in the photo.
B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The rich color of the landscape.
D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
30. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.
A. the need to be close to nature B. the shared passion for beautyC. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the importance of private space
31. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.
A. the art of photography B. the pleasure of traveling
C. a particular life experience D. a lost friendship
D
Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty
than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)vehicles”, but people in
California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly
use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells,
we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by
something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are
a few wind farms and geothermal(地热)plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly
by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just
because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California
Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an
incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But
when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a
nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the
transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that
gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far— so electric cars burn more fuel than
gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or
hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political,
technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will
eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though，all the junk is in one place.
Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot
longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
32. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Electric cars are far from clean
B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones
C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries
D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle
33. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ______.
A. not less than 25 miles B. as far as 50 miles
C. not more than 25 miles D. as far as 25 miles
34. According to the text, electric cars ______.
A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
35. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered
cousins
C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something

Why we still need to read Dickens
Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles
Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 36 As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on
my mind. 37 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture,
I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a
“tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 38 “But why should we
still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable,
“Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.
The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers,
but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of
his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn
from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own
experiences.
39 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an
answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still
read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.”
Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.
Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times.
40 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what
it has to tell you about yourself.
A. Then a hand shot up.
B. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.
C. I know that wasn’t really the reason.
D. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.
E. That’s why we still need to read him today.
F. That question was never more troubling.
G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.

Good morning, everybody. My topic for today is “How Americans Value Time”.
Americans think a great deal of time. From childhood they learn value time. As children,
they are teach to be on time to attend school, to do work and to do nothing. When they
are having the good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is
living on borrowing time. A working American has to work devotedly for 8 hours a day
and 40 hours a week. In his spare time, he also works hardly for more money. At
weekends work even fills with their activities. In the street you can hardly see one
which walks leisurely. Actually, they are almost flying.

Dear Tom，
I'm more than delighted to be informed that you show great interest in traditional
Chinese festivals．Definitely, your impression exactly matches the true spirit of Tomb
Sweeping Festival．
Tomb Sweeping Festival annually falls on April 4th- 6th．The festival was created
in memory of our last beloved as well as those respected patriotic heroes，who made
great contributions to the founding of China. Traditionally，people in China observe this
holiday mainly by visiting their ancestors’ tombs with home-made foods, some flowers
and fake money.
From my perspective, Tomb Sweeping Festival keeps us reminded of the true spirit
of devotion and loyalty of the dead. What’s of equal importance is that we appreciate the hope of Spring on this occasion.．
Best respects!
Yours
LiHua
