For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer a washing machine
that can tell you when your laundry is clone via a smartphone app(application).
Strange though it may seem- "my wife already does that" was a common response among
attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
this week-Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安装) a large number of
internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines
and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a
downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be
turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it's not just something new-the app connection actually has some practical uses.
"If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your
phone and restart your dryer for the time when coming home, so your clothes are refreshed and
ready to go," said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rates(电价)varying depending on the time of day,
more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies
do-enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will
instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
24. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
A. The machine will be a big success. B. Their wives like doing the laundry.
C. This kind of technology is familiar to them. D. The machine is unrelated to their life.
25. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
A. They can be controlled with a smartphone.
B. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.
C. They arc difficult to operate.
D. They arc sold at a low price.
26. We can conclude from Samsung's statements that .
A. it is better to dry clothes in the morning B. the app connection makes life easier
C. smartphones can shorten the drying time D. we should refresh clothes back at home
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The laundry should be frequently checked. B. Lazy people like using such machines.
C. Television may help do the laundry. D. Good technologies also cause problems.
C
As the population grows and temperatures rise, it will become more difficult to grow enough
food for everyone. So, scientists are exploring the planet for plants that do not need as much water
as today's crops. The Mojave Desert in the U.S. state of California is home to some of these
plants.
Scientist Headier Rose Kates of the University of Florida is in that desert. She is searching
along roads for a plant called the coyote melon which is a kind of squash(南瓜小果). Coyote melon may not taste good, but it can he grown in places that have had little rainfall. The desert
where it grows gets just 15 to 20 centimeters of rain per year, or less. Other kinds of squash need
at least two and a half centimeters per week to grow.
Scientists are considering combining wild coyote melon with regular squash to see if they can
make a tasty vegetable that doesn't need as much water to grow. That could be useful on a planet
growing warmer and more crowded every day.
Andy Jarvis works at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. He says farmers will
need to produce 50 to 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed the world. So he says researchers are
studying the wild versions of farm-grown crops. But he says there is a problem that many wild
versions of farmed plants are disappearing. He says they are threatened and scientists have not
collected their seeds for future use. Scientist Kates is part of an international effort to gather these
plants and save their seeds while it is still possible. Workers arc collecting wild oats to Cyprus,
wild potatoes in Argentina and wild peppers in Paraguay. The plants and seeds will be sent for
storage to the Global Seed Vault in Norway and at Kew Gardens in Britain. Ms. Kates spends
most of her time in a laboratory. She says gathering plants has helped her understand more about
them.
28. Why do scientists study coyote melon?
A. It tastes good. B. It is easy to cook.
C. It is welcomed by many American people. D. It only needs little water to grow.
29. Scientists want to combine wild coyote melon with regular squash in order to .
A. feed the people all around the world
B. keep the earth from becoming warmer
C. produce a delicious vegetable with less water to grow
D. create a new fruit instead
30. We know Andy Jarvis .
A. is searching for coyote melon
l3. is in charge of the research of agriculture
C. thinks producing more food to feed the world is easy
D. feels somewhat pessimistic about scientists' research
31. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A. All the plants' seeds need to be stored.
B. Ms. Kates never goes outside to do research.
C. Ms. Kates benefits a lot from gathering plants.
D. Coyote melon can be planted everywhere

Enough "meaningless drivel". That's the message from a group of members of the UK
government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social
media data.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report, released last week, has
blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an
international standard or kitemark(认证标记)to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.
"The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to
anyone," says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a
plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and
awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.
It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at
introducing it on a voluntary basis. "We need to think through how we make that work in
practice," says Miller.
Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? "I think if you went and did the survey,
people would like to think they would," says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton,
UK, who studies open data. "We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their
information." But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.
Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or
understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. "We
still don't know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put
on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years' time," he says.
Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don't know how
companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving
Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.
The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don't expect, even if users have apparently percussion, show that the current situation isn't working. If
properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly
they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.
32. What does the phrase "meaningless drivel" in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?
A. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.
B. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.
C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.
D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms
33. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether .
A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
34. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because .
A. it remains unknown how users' data will be taken advantage of
B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Say no to social media? B. New security rules in operation?
C. Administration matters! D. Accept without reading?

选项。
It's such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. 36 .In
fact, for sleep researchers it's one of the biggest unanswered questions in the field.
Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep? 37 .But we sleep every
night even when we have had plenty of rest. There are, no doubt, several different answers to this
question but let's just consider one general purpose of sleep: 38 . Human beings are
creatures that are normally active during daylight hours when our senses functions most effectively. 39 .We can't see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we don't have
the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay
where we are during the dangerous period when night-waking animals are walking here and there.
And one sure way to make sure we don't fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us
not move for seven or eight hours rising again only when the light is back and our survival
chances are better.
It's not the only reason we sleep. 40 . Perhaps even the most important one.
A. At night, humans do rather poorly.
B. But from a scientific point of view this is far from an ordinary matter.
C. Should that put human beings in a terrible situation?
D. Sleep as a survival approach.
E. Furthermore, if you were designing an animal would you have it come into long periods of
unconsciousness every twenty-four hours?
F. But in terms of evolution it may have been one of the first reasons.
G. Is it because we get tired?

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 41 part
of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we 42 this same right to our
children.
When I see a child 43 from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie. Donnie was my
youngest third-grader. His 44 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children
games that other children enjoyed. He 45 answered questions-he was afraid he might be
wrong. I tried my best to build his 46 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary
Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved
children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 47 her very much.
One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 48
the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 49 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 50 . He'd missed the
third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 51 . From the desk we
shared, she got a container filled with pencils. "Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and
gently 52 the tear-stained(弄脏的)face from his arms. "I've got something to 53 you." She
removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
"See these 54 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See
how the erasers are 55 ? That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes
and try again. That's what you 56 learn to do, too." She kissed him and stood up. "Here", she
said, "I'll leave one of these pencils on 57 desk so you'll remember that everybody makes
mistakes, 58 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The 59 became Donnie's prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne's frequent
encouragement, gradually 60 him that it's all right to make mistakes-as long as you erase
them and try again.

Two years after announcing strict volunteer requirements for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and
61 (realize) they could not get enough help for free, the Japanese ministry has instead turned to
universities and their vast human 62 (resource).
In the past few weeks, to encourage students to volunteer for the Olympics, a large number of
universities 63 (begin) to offer academic credits. According to a survey, 49 percent of
universities in Tokyo-both 64 (nation)and private-are now considering that option.
While rewarding student volunteers 65 credits to advance their undergraduate
programs 66 (be)a nice gesture, the move also makes it clear that the Olympic Committee
does not want to pay for highly-skilled individuals 67 must speak a foreign language, and
work over ten full days, not to mention that they must pass 68 interview.
The move also raises the question of what it means to volunteers. It's quite obvious by now
that there aren't enough people 69 (till) the 110,000 vacant positions.
Offering academic credits to Japanese students seems like the wrong way to encourage
volunteerism, but precious time is going by for the Olympic Committee. If they cannot get the
70 (require)110,000 volunteers soon, an army of emotionless robots might just work.

WeChat is becoming increasing popular with people. Recently I have made a survey among
my classmate about the use of WeChat. According to a result, 45% of the classmates admit they
often use it because comparing with other means of communication, WeChat has more
advantages. It was cheap, convenient and easy to send all kinds of messages around. Besides, 35%
of whom are against using it, saying it will affect their study. Not using WeChat, the rest has no

Dear Adam,
Knowing that you take a great interest in Chinese culture, I’m writing to invite
you to attend Chinese Poetry Contest for foreigners to be held by the city TV station
at 6:30 pm next Friday at the Citizen Center.
Similar contests are watched by many people in China as ancient Chinese culture
is regaining popularity these days. Also, the wisdom delivered through Chinese
classic poems can be rather impressive and helpful for the learners of the Chinese
language.
It will be a rather unforgettable night and I sincerely hope you could come with
me. Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
