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. Theyre 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 youre able to heat up or cool down your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed, you wont 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 parison, other thermostats measurements are largely limited to the area in which theyre installed (安装). If you live in a smaller place, thats 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 its 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. What makes the ecobee3 superior?A. It can be operated easily by phone. B. It is a product without using energy.C. It is much more convenient in a larger area. D. It may work without access to WiFi networks.23. Where can you probably find the passage?A. An official report. B. A science book.C. A popular magazine. D.

When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home, My husband was stunned at her offer.

People would normally give things as presents, while here in China red envelopes are more monly weled.”It was the first time the 66-year-old discovered the etiquetteincluding taboos(禁忌)in gift giving. He was not alone, as the recent controversy following a British ministers visit to Taipei, Taiwan, revealed.British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je, mayor of Taipei, when she visited the city, immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held taboo in Chinese culture.A clock or watch, or zhong in Mandarin, signifies “the end” in Chinese, and many associate it with death. Therefore, giving someone, especially an elder, a clock or watch implies “your time is up”.Kramer later apologized for the gaffe（失礼）, but Ko also came under fire for his “rude” response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.However, some expats in China, such as Mark Dreyer, stand by Ko in this particular debate. “When I heard about the story, I felt embarrassed,” said Dreyer, a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since xx. “After all, dont give clocks or watches to your hosts is on page 1 of most China travel guides. Im embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs beforehand.”28. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph3 refer to? A. Giving cash. B. Presenting gifts. C. Receiving money. D. Attending weddings.29. How did the public view Kos response to the gift?A. They thought it appropriate. B. They believed he had no other choice.C. They considered it a smart move. D. They saw it as a rudeness.30. What was Dreyers attitude to the British Ministers gift?A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Americans dont expect to receive cashes as gifts.B. Chinese dont expect to receive clocks as gifts.C. Presenting red envelopes is a bad custom in China.D. British know nothing about Chinese customs. DThe philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an experience machine to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. But why? he encouraged us to ask There was no such thing as virtual(虚拟的) reality(VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves puter generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has bee a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit? One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure. Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is. Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what have been missed. puter simulations（模拟), however good, contain only what have been put into them. There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Viewing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius. Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be exciting, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will never be a substitute for connections with the real thing.32. What does the underlined word refute in Paragraph l mean？ A Contradict. B. Express. C. Prove. D. Correct,33. What does the author think of virtual reality? A. It can benefit people in certain aspects. B. It will be smart enough to satisfy our needs. C. It cannot cause feelings of fear or happiness. D. It cannot help us understand what has happened34. How many reasons are mentioned to support the preference for reality? A. Two. B.Three. C. Four. D. Five.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. What VR Cannot Offer B. How VR Changes Our life C. How VR Is Different from Reality D. Why VR Cannot Match the Real Thing第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多 余选项。While many people are physically active in high school, there are always many things for teens to promise their healthy lifestyle. 36 Get plenty of rest.
