2.Is your TV connected to the Internet?What about your chair or your fridge?It is possible that they are not.But in the future,most things in your home may be connected,as the so-called"Internet of things"is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.It is reported that during his speech earlier this year,Samsung CEO(首席執(zhí)行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things.He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸塵器).
So,how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work?Well,think of a usual chair.When connected to the Internet,the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera,like a smart-home camera,could help people feel safer in their homes.It can recognize(識(shí)別) people's faces,and even can see when someone passes by in the dark.Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there.If the person is someone you don't know,it can tell you that,too.
But according to MIT Technology Review,whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet,there may be problems.For example,many early connected-home devices(裝置) don't have much built-in security,which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻擊).In addition,it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies.To fight this,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium,which had 45members by late 2014.
So,picture this:you walk in through the front door of your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school.Your favorite music starts playing for you.Do you think that this would be a good thing?It may happen sooner than you think.

分析 短文大意:
在未來(lái),在你的家里大多數(shù)的東西可能被連接到互聯(lián)網(wǎng),因?yàn)樗^的"物聯(lián)網(wǎng)"正在逐漸被開(kāi)發(fā)利用.據(jù)悉,從現(xiàn)在的五年時(shí)間里,每一個(gè)三星產(chǎn)品將是物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的一部分,無(wú)論是洗衣機(jī)還是吸塵器.所以你可以像這樣想象,你從你家的前門走進(jìn)來(lái),經(jīng)過(guò)了一天的學(xué)校生活,智能系統(tǒng)會(huì)調(diào)節(jié)合適的溫度,并且開(kāi)始為你演奏你最喜歡的音樂(lè).
解答 11.答案:A. 推理判斷題.根據(jù)The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.可知不久我們?nèi)粘I钪袑?huì)出現(xiàn)上網(wǎng)的東西.故選A.
12.答案:D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"It can recognize(識(shí)別) people's faces,and even can see when someone passes by in the dark.Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's the re."可知一部聯(lián)網(wǎng)的相機(jī)可以用于與用戶的智能機(jī)連接.故選D.
13.答案:C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school.Your favorite music starts playing for you."可知室內(nèi)的溫度不太高也不太低;你最喜歡的音樂(lè)開(kāi)始播放;再根據(jù)"the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold."可知椅子會(huì)升溫.故選C.
14.答案:B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)For example,many early connected-home devices(裝置) don't have much built-in security,which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻擊).In addition,it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different comp anies.可知一個(gè)是容易被黑客攻擊,還有一個(gè)就是有可能不兼容,聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務(wù)可以協(xié)作但容易被攻擊,這里只有B點(diǎn)都提及到了.故選B.
15.答案:D,推理判斷題,文中提到"But in the future,most things in your home may be connected"在未來(lái),所有的東西都會(huì)連上互聯(lián)網(wǎng),后文又講述了幾個(gè)已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)的設(shè)備,由此確定選擇D.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 對(duì)于閱讀表達(dá)題,一定要記得首先通讀全文,了解文章大意,然后再根據(jù)文章關(guān)鍵詞,關(guān)鍵句,掌握細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題,并進(jìn)行推理判斷,再去回答具體的問(wèn)題.
