During the winter, Andy Law likes to keep his house warm, which used to be a problem. He’d sometimes forget to turn down the thermostat (恒温器) when he traveled, which raised his heating bills. But he hasn’t had to worry about that since buying one of Google’s Nest thermostats.
In fact, companies are developing many smart devices that will tailor their functions to what they learn about their users’ needs. But many of these devices are still on the drawing board, so the Nest thermostat first provides a good example of what is fast coming down the road.
Officials at Google Inc. say the Nest thermostat can understand what its owners want. “The first three to four days is when it is most eager to learn, ” said Maxime Veron, director of product marketing for Nest. “It gathers data, temperature, the time it was set and occupancy.” After four days, Nest learns enough to keep the house as hot or cold as the person generally prefers at different times.
One feature that will click in about a week after Nest starts learning is its “Auto-Away” function. Nest will automatically adjust the temperature to whatever the person previously has indicated they prefer when they are gone.
The Auto-Away sensors are also designed to scan a room for movement “above most pets’ heads,” so it doesn’t mistake a dog or cat for a person and assume someone is still in the home. But the thermostat can be fooled by large pets.
Another feature many people seem to like is “Nest Leaf”, which gives the user feedback(反馈) whenever the temperatures they set save energy. So if the person raises the temperature enough on a hot day or down on a cool one, a green leaf appears on the thermostat.
However, some people say that it is too expensive. But after trying it out, PC Magazine editor John Delaney said, “It is a must for anyone looking to save on heating and air conditioning costs and I like the idea of setting it and forgetting it.”
24. After buying a Nest thermostat, Andy Law ________.
A. has reduced his heating bills B. has solved his health problems
C. doesn’t need to keep his house warm D. doesn’t worry about his traveling expenses
By saying “on the drawing board” in paragraph 2, the author means that many of the devices are _______.
A. out of control B. made for a special purpose
C. designed in many new ways D. in the process of being planned
One feature of the Nest thermostat is that it can _________.
A. affect and change its users’ living habits
B. learn its users’ daily heating and cooling preferences
C. collect detailed information about its users’ activities
D. recognize the differences between people and large pets
A green leaf will appear when you _________.
A. place your Nest thermostat in a cool house
B. turn down your Nest thermostat on a hot day
C. turn on the “Auto-Away” function of your Nest thermostat
D. adjust your Nest thermostat to an energy-efficient temperature

A café owner has defended her decision to pen a Facebook post (an Internet message to be discussed) stating “No, we are not child-friendly,” saying it breaks her heart when children damage her possessions.
On Monday, the Little French Café in Newcastle, Australia, posted an announcement on their Facebook page: “Are we child-friendly? If you are looking for a café with a children’s menu, a play area, lounges for your children to jump on, vast space for your baby carriages, an area for your children to run around, and annoy other customers, while you are unaware of them ?then the short message is n‘No, we are not child-friendly.’ However, if you would like to bring your children here and they are happy to sit at a table with you and behave properly, please come in. Otherwise, there are plenty of places that are specially designed to entertain your children.” The post has since been deleted.
Some Facebook users called the post “arrogant (傲慢的)” and an “attack on parents”, The Newcastle Herald reports. The café owner responded with this statement: “I build the café myself. It has my blood, sweat and plenty of tears in it.”
The post came about after the café owner was asked by a customer, who had left a one-star review on the café’s business page, about whether the café was child-friendly. Ms Kotz told she wrote the bad review because she felt staff reacted negatively towards children at the café.
The café owner said it broke a piece of her heart every time when she was watching children emptying salt and pepper shakers into her fireplaces, parents changing nappies (尿布) on her lounges, or kids throwing their own food onto her carpet.
Although the café’s policy has attracted a lot of criticism, most people who commented on the Little French Café’s Facebook page stood by the owner. One woman named Lesley wrote, “I don’t think there was anything wrong with what you said by any means. If parents want to take their children to your café, they need to be responsible for their behavior.” 28. What is the text mainly about? A. An Australian café’s policy on children.
B. A Facebook post about parents’ manners. C. The protection of the customers’ basic rights
D. The relationship between staff and customers. 29. Which of the following is permitted according to the café owner’s post? A. Parents demanding a children’s menu. B. Children entertaining themselves in the café. C. Children running around their own carriages. D. Parents taking well-behaved kids to the café. 30. The café owner wrote the post _____. A. after a kid damaged her possessions B. in response to a customer’s question C. in order to improve the efficiency of the café D. after the café was criticized by some Facebook users 31. What did Lesley think of the café owner’s action? A. It was slightly unfair. B. It was very misleading.
C. It was highly controversial. D. It was quite understandable.
D
Cyberspace (网络空间) has given rise to a new social change where people make friends from across the world, but know little about their next-door neighbors. This disturbs critics, but those who have been won over often find an Internet friendship more satisfying.
Take Bob for example. His neighbor doesn’t know anything about gardening, but his instant messaging friend Gr33nThum does. Besides, Gr33nThum doesn’t do that annoying sound when he talks.
Those people like Bob have long been criticized for their lack of necessary social skills. In short, say critics, people are unlearning how to naturally communicate with their neighbors, creating a social network of strangers.
However, a report entitled “The Strength of Internet Ties” provides a different opinion. Sociologists are suggesting that the Internet helps cultivate social networks and make use of them when it matters most.
Friends often move. As kids, our friends’ parents move away. As adults, we move away to college or for work. Communicative tools have made losing touch the result of laziness, not distance. “The larger and the more diverse a person’s network, the more important e-mail is ,” argues Jeffrey Boase, who co-authored the report. “You can’t make phone calls or personal visits to all your friends very often, but you can keep in touch with them regularly with the help of the Internet. That turns out to be very important.”
In addition to expanding and strengthening the social ties people keep in the offline world, Internet and e-mail provide a social and informational support group that helps people make difficult decisions and face challenges. “Internet use provides online users a path to resources, such as access to people who may have the right information to help deal with family health problems or find a new job,” says John Horrigan, author of the report.
“The Internet creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, people often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations,” says co-author Barry Wellman.
32. Critics think that making friends online __________.
A. exposes Internet users to danger B. leads to coldness between people
C. causes distrust between neighbors D. results in the dying out of social skills
33. Jeffrey Boase argues that the Internet _________.
A. makes people lazier than before
B. is helpful in bringing neighbors together
C. is more important than the offline world
D. makes it easier for people to stay connected
34. According to John Horrigan, Internet users benefit a lot from social networks because _______.
A. they can get the latest information online
B. people in the online world are more reliable
C. there are many online jobs available for them
D. they are more likely to get help when in trouble
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The value of cyber friendship B. The importance of friendship
C. The new way of communication D. The development of the Internet

第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每小题3分，满分60分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean."
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, "Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it."
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, "Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is —— an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.
21. According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result from ______.
A. reading little and thinking little
B. reading often and adventurously
C. being made to read too much
D. being made to read aloud before others
22. The teacher told his students to read ______.
A. for enjoyment B. for knowledge
C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams
23. Upon hearing the teacher's talk, the children probably felt that ______.
A. it sounded stupid
B. it was not surprising at all
C. it sounded too good to be true
D. it was no different from other teachers' talk
24. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?
A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
25. From the teacher's point of view, ______.
A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading
B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school
D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information
B
Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner. Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade. You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a line. It has the same parts as a bar graph - two labeled axes - and can be read the same way. To read a line graph, it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points. This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2, which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend, or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one month's expenses (See Graph 3).
Food $25
Movies $ 12
Clothing $36
Savings $20
Books $7
26. When used in a graph, a legend is_______ .
A. a guide to the symbols and colors B. an introduction paragraph
C. the main idea D. the data
27. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?
A. 4. B. 6. C. 10. D. 20.
28. The bird covered the longest distance on_____ .
A. Day1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4
29. Which of the following cost Amy most?
A. Food. B. Books. C. Movies. D. Clothing.

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences -- called light pollution -- whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the levels and light rhythms to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nigh, -- dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth — is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet. The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being "captured" by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses. Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage — the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way the edge of our galaxy — arching overhead.

In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.
But why, they pleaded. “Because I don't have time to take care of a dog.” But we'll do it.“Really? You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog? Yes, yes and yes. “I don't believe you.” We will. We promise.
They didn’t. From day two ( everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life ( small , medium , and large ), she calculated, “The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. “Not fair,” I'd balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked. "Not fair," I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
Then one day — January 1, 2007, to be exact — my husband's doctor uttered an unthinkable word; leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.
Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe’s blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.
After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful — to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As 1 watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.
35. Why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?
A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.
B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.
C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.
D. She didn't want to spoil her daughter.
36. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to "The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”( Paragraph 3 ) ?
A. "The middle-aged person loves me most."
B. "The medium-sized woman is the hostess."
C. "The man in the middle is the one who has the final say."
D. "The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family."
37. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ______.
A. Misty was quite clever B. Misty could solve math problems
C. the writer was a slow learner D. no one walked Misty the first day
38. The story came to its turning point when ______.
A. Joe died in 2009 B. Joe fell ill in 2007

A. Misty couldn't live without her.
B. Her friends didn't offer any help.
C. The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. 61 these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 62 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help 63 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 64 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 65 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired 66 doing this for a whole day, 67 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 68 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 69 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 70 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.
