Attaching sensors to “things”， such as cows, cars and re
19、frigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IOT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internetconnected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020.Specific Bene
20、fitsThe IOT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monit
21、or energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lowerpriced hours.Some FearsSome critics fear that the IOT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on r
22、efrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last years smart phone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internetconnected appliances will provide longterm software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine
23、that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software thats outdated.A Positive ExampleEarly this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the compa
24、ny performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the cars touch screen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required！Perhaps Teslas remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, peoples
25、lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IOT.36.How do researchers get everything and everyone talking?ABy establishing the IOT and launching a handful of sensors.BBy connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.CBy communicating with them all the
26、time through the IOT.DBy sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.37According to the article, which of the following is NOT TRUE?AIOT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.BIOT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.CIOT can
27、 help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more smartly.DIOT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.38What else do critics worry about the IOT besides its probably ending up being a fashion?APeople will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill o
28、ver last years smartphone.BRefrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.CWhether related companies will provide longterm software updates or not.DThe software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.39According to the passage, when owners of t
29、he Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they _Ajust waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless updateBwere required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairsCcould definitely depend on the IOT to send them the charger plug to be fix
30、edDhad to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the companyBThe Gatais used to frown when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1，500squarefoot home in Premier Gardens, a subdivision of 95 “zeroenergy homes”(ZEH) just out
31、side town. Now theyre actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months theyve lived in the threebedroom house：$75. For the past two months they havent paid a cent.ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as mu
32、ch energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a halfdozen subdivisions in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using lowpower appliances and solar panels.Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of conventional homes. But inside
33、, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and retaining indoor warmth in winter.The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They dont just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utilitys power gr
34、id(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”：they pay for the amount of power they tap off the grid, less the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but its not. Solar homes produce the m
35、ost power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. “It helps us lower usage at peak power times，” says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”Whats not to like? Mostly the costs.
36、The special features can add $25，000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be prohibitively expensive. For the consumer, its a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the utilities.40Why are the
37、Gatais eager to see their electricity bills now?AThey want to see how much they have saved.BThey want to cut down their utility expenses.CThey want to know if they are able to pay.DThey want to avoid being overcharged.41What is special about the ZEH communities?AThey have created cuttingedge technol
38、ogies.BThey aim to produce enough power themselves.CThey are subdivided into half a dozen sections.DThey are built in harmony with the environment.42How are the residents in the ZEH communities billed for electricity use?AThey are only charged for the amount of power they consume on rainy days.BThey
39、 neednt pay a single cent for their power consumption on sunny days.CThey only pay for the excess power that flows into the utilitys power grid.DThey pay for the electricity from the grid less their homegenerated power.43What does the “net metering” practice mean to the power company?AMore pressure
40、at peak time. BLess profits in the short term.CIncreased electricity output. DReduced operational costs.44The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community _Ais but a dream for average consumersBgives the owner substantial tax benefitsCis a worthy investment in the long runDcontributes to e
41、nvironmental protectionCIve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and fulltime bluecollar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be u
42、ncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 oclock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why Im so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as selfconfident as a college student who has never been out in the real
43、world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absentmindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about bl
44、uecollar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my coworkers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.Aft
45、er working 12hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When Im back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy rewrites seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and publicservice announcements about the value
46、 of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.These lessons Im learning, however precious, are always tinged(带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but its hell on
47、 the body，” said one coworker. “Study hard and keep reading，” she added.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.45How did the author look back on his summer days while at college?AThey brought him nothing but tortur
48、e.BThey were no holiday for him at all.CThey were a relief from his hard work at school.DThey offered him a chance to know more people.46Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph?AMisery. BFortune. CAnxiety. DAvailability.47What does the author say abo
49、ut college students?AThey expect too much from the real world.BThey have little interest in bluecollar life.CThey think too highly of themselves.DThey are confident of their future.48What, according to the author, is most frustrating for bluecollar workers?AThey do not get decent pay.BThey do not ha
50、ve job security.CThey have to work 12hour shifts.DThey have to move from place to place.49In what important way has the authors work experience changed him?AHe learned to be more practical.BHe acquired a sense of urgency.CHe came to respect bluecollar workers.DHe came to appreciate his college educa

52、f escaping from the real world.DThey can be identified by their independentbookstore bags or printed piles of paper they look through on their lap. They are, for lack of a more specific term, readers. Joining their group seems simple enough: Get a book and read it! But behind that simple process is
53、a question of motivationof why some people grow up to derive great pleasure from reading, while others dont.Some people are much more likely than others to become members of the reading class. First, the more education people have, the more likely they are to be readers. Beyond that, urban people re
54、ad more than rural people. Affluence(富裕) is associated with reading. Young girls read earlier than boys do and continue to read more in adulthood.Of course, possessing any of these characteristics doesnt guarantee that someone will or wont become a reader. Personality also seems to play a role. “Int
55、roverts who find it difficult to talk to others seem to be a little bit more likely to do a lot of leisuretime reading，” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia said.Willingham also talked about the importance of the number of books in ones childhood home. Studies
56、looking at “family scholarly culture” have found that children who grew up surrounded by books tend to attain higher levels of education and to be better readers than those who didnt. There is no doubt that being a reader sets a child up for academic success, since so much of school is reading.Readi
57、ng will seem more like chocolate cake if its something that parents themselves take part in happily and regularly. “When Im sitting there on my couch, reading a book, and my kids are doing their own thing, I like to think, Im parenting right nowthey can see me reading this book，” Maria Russo, the ch
58、ildrens books editor said. Similarly, right after dinner, if you scroll through your phone, open up your laptop, or watch TV, kids are likely to take note.Parents dont have to become avid readers themselves to raise avid readers. Russo suggested a bunch of things that parents can do to make reading
59、seem exciting and worthwhile：talk about books during meals or car rides, indicating that theyre just as compelling a subject of conversation as the days events; make regular stops at libraries and bookstores and stay a while; and give books as birthday gifts.51According to the passage how can reader
60、s be identified?ABy their attractive appearances.BBy their independent schoolbags.CBy their turning pages on their lap.DBy their printed piles of test paper.52In the view of Daniel Willingham, what kind of people is more likely to be readers?AThose living in the rural areas.BThose receiving plenty o

65、. The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on a
66、n insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimateWe dont account_for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important
67、to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal.
