Ⅰ.阅读理解
The future home is something that people have talked about for decades. Because the future home idea inspires our imagination, scientists and engineers have been working hard to develop different systems to make houses “smarter”.
The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition software. The facial recognition software of the future home will not only recognize friends, but strangers as well. And the software in your future home will run the strangers' faces against a database of criminals.
The future home will also have smart appliances (家电)as well. There will be a vast networking system connecting them. Ovens, microwaves and refrigerators will be controlled automatically(自动地), so remote cooking will be a possibility and meals are prepared for your arrival.
There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water. Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized drinking water.
If you think this future home idea is pie in the sky or science fiction, then think again. Most of the systems described here are either in development or already out at the market. Future homes may not be _standard_ yet for the middle class but this isn't as far ahead as many people would think.
1.What can the facial recognition software be used for in future homes?
A.Greeting friends.
B.Collecting visitors information.
C.Recognizing visitors.
D.Following dangerous criminals.
2.Which of the following indicates the future house is environmentfriendly?
A.Facial recognition software.
B.Remote cooking.
C.Smart refrigerators.
D.Saving and reusing water.
3.What does the underlined word“standard”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Attractive. B.Common.
C.Special. D.Excellent.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Smart Future Home
B.A Smart Networking System
C.Software in Future Home
D.Various Household Appliances
[语篇解读] 本文属于说明文。本文通过想象,描述了“智能未来家庭”的样子。
1.C [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition software.”入口处的摄像机使用面部识别软件识别访客。可知,在未来的家庭中,面部识别软件可以用来识别访客。故选C。]
2.D [细节理解题。根据第四段的“There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water.”在适当的地方,还将建立环保系统,如节约和重复使用洗涤水和洗澡水。可知,节约和再利用水说明未来的房子是环保的。故选D。]
3.B [词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“but this isn't as far ahead as many people would think.”但这并不像许多人想象的那样遥远。可知,上半句的意思是:对于中产阶级来说,未来的家庭可能还不普遍。因此划线词的意思是“普通的”。故选B。]
4.A [主旨大意题。根据第一段“Because the future home idea inspires our imagination, scientists and engineers have been working hard to develop different systems to make houses ‘smarter’.”因为未来家居理念激发了我们的想象力,科学家和工程师们一直在努力开发不同的系统,使房子变得更“智能”。及下文描述的未来的智能家庭的样子,可知,“智能未来之家”适合做本文的题目。故选A。]

I_am_excited_to_tell_you_that_the_first_Science_and_Technology_Festival_was_held_in_our_school_last_month, which aimed at enriching us students' school life and promoting the students' awareness of innovation.
There were a variety of activities in the festival, which included Makers on Campus, where participants could show their designs and products, and an exhibition of the students' original inventions, designs and literary works. With the enthusiastic participation and support of all the students, the activity turned out a great success. I was astonished at the schoolmates' creativity and teamwork spirits.
I do hope more activities will be held in my school to provide us with chances to practice our critical thinking and problemsolving abilities.
Yours,
