Ecobee3 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.
【答案】CAD
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
【答案】ABAD
C
A British man who lived in the Alps as a goat for three days has won one of this
year's Ig Nobel prizes.
Thwaites had special articifical organs made so he could walk like an animal. The take-off
awards, which are not quite as famous as the real Nobels, were handed out during their annual ceremony at Harvard University, US. Other studies honoured during the event examined the personalities of rocks, and how the world looks when you bend over and view it through your legs. On the surface, all the celebrated research sounds a bit silly, but a lot of it - when examined closely - is actually intended to handle real-world problems. And nearly all of the science gets published in peer-reviewed(同行评议的), scholarly journals. The firm has been awarded the chemistry prize for the way it cheated emissions tests.
Goat-man Thwaites actually shares his biology prize with another Briton, Charles Foster, who also has spent time in the wild trying to experience life from an animal's perspective. Clearly, the practice is fast-becoming a national character. Mr Thwaites admits his effort was initially an attempt to escape the stress of modern living, but then became a passion. He spent a year researching the idea, and even persuaded an expert in action, Dr Glyn Heath at Salford University, to build him a set of goat legs.
"I was just sort of walking around, you know chewing grass, and just looked up and then suddenly realised that everyone else had stopped chewing and there was this tension which I hadn't kind of noticed before and then one or two of the goats started tossing their horns around and I think I was about to get in a fight," he told BBC News.
The American science humour magazine, the Annals of Improbable Research, is the inspiration behind the Ig Nobels, which are now in their 26th year. Thursday night's ceremony was reported as disorderly as ever, with audience members throwing the compulsory paper planes while real Nobel winners attempted to hand out the prizes.
28. What does the underlined word “take-off” in Para2 most probably mean?
A. famous B. interesting C. ridiculous D. serious
29. Which of the following is correct？
A. Ig Nobles are as well-known as the real Nobels.
B. Ig Nobels are rooted in the Annals of Improbable Research.
C. Both Ig Nobels and the real Nobels are of equal importance to human achievemnet.
D. Ig Nobels are nothing but a laughter.
28. What words can best describe Thwaites according to the passage?
A. selfish and ambitious B. amazing and patient
C. humorous and greedy D. ridiculous and courageous
31. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. As we sow, so we shall reap
B. Ig Nobels or real Nobels, which is demanding?
C. Preservation—Alpine’s goat man in action
D. Ig Nobel win for Alpine’s goat man.

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.

Dear Tom,
I’m more than delighted to be informed that you show great interest in traditional Chinese festivals.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Yours
Li Hua
【答案】
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 dearly departed who were devoted to bringing us up as well as those respected patriotic heroes，who made great contributions to the founding of China. Traditionally，people in China observe this traditional holiday mainly by visiting their ancestors’ tombs with home-made foods, some fake money.
From my perspective，as a traditional Chinese festival，Tomb Sweeping Festival keeps us reminded of the true spirit of devotion and loyalty of the dead．By celebrating it，What’s of equal importance is that we appreciate the hope of Spring on this
occasion.．
Best respects!
