This year, its 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 its 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.

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.CAs 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 todays 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 doesnt 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.

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 everywhereEEnough meaningless drivel. Thats 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 Committees 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 dont 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 dont 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 dont expect, even if users have apparently percussion, show that the current situation isnt 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 firms33. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether .A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. the kitemark would help companies develop their business modelsC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think34. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because .A. it remains unknown how users data will be taken advantage ofB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old35. 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?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答案，选项中有两项为多余选项。Its such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. 36 .In fact, for sleep researchers its 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 lets 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 cant see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we dont 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 dont 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.Its 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?第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项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 . Hed 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. Ive 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 ? Thats because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. Thats what you 56 learn to do, too. She kissed him and stood up. Here, she said, Ill leave one of these pencils on 57 desk so youll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 58 teachers. Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.The 59 became Donnies prized possession. That, together with Mary Annes frequent encouragement, gradually 60 him that its all right to make mistakes-as long as you erase them and try again.41. A. basicB. smallC. largeD. necessary42. A. disallowB. giveC. permitD. offer43. A. takeB. comeC. stifferD. fall44. A. lessonB. fearC. senseD. chance45. A. oftenB. alwaysC. seldomD. never46.
