To change the temperature on the air conditioner, I had to walk all the way downstairs. So, I bought my first smart home product: a thermostat. At that time, the experience felt truly amazing. But now, twenty years later, that magic feeling is gone. Smart home systems haven't really gotten better in some ways, they’ve become more troublesome. First, setting them up is time-consuming. Before buying a new device, you have to spend hours reading user reviews. After you buy it, it may not work as you expected. The setup (设置) can be long and confusing. Sometimes, the device just stops working for no reason. Second, devices often don’t work well together. Nowadays, more and more devices are made by small companies. So, they don’t have the money to test them with all the other products. There are also so many brands and systems that use different software. You have to switch between different apps. The technology is cheap to make. But connecting everything smoothly is hard. Last but not least, there is the problem of privacy. Many smart devices record sound and video every day. This information often goes to the company servers. This raises questions about who can view that information. You may also wonder what will happen to your smart home if the Internet stops working. Still, smart homes can be useful. But in the future, these devices need to be simpler, safer, and work together better. For now, setting up a smart home is like a hard game. Is it worth it? You decide. 1．Where did the writer move to after leaving the apartment? 2．What was the writer’s first smart home product? 3．Twenty years later, the writer didn’t feel good about the smart home systems, did he? 4．How many problems did the writer meet with his smart home systems? 5．In the writer’s eyes, how do these smart devices need to be in the future? 6．Would you like to have a smart home? Why or why not? Passage2 Sally: a vet What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one—I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. A small dog once gave me a very nasty bite. Have you ever done any other jobs? Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything—cooking, cleaning, shopping and looking after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant. Leo: an actor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? So many bad things have happened—but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more. Have you ever done any other jobs? Oh yes. It’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers (宣传单) in the street. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible—you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible—I’ve never eaten an egg since then. Questions: 1．Sally never thinks that big dogs are more dangerous than small ones, does she? 2．When and where did Sally do fruit-picking as a student? 3．How long did Sally work for the rich family in New York? 4．How did Leo deal with the negative feeling of being upset after reading his first bad review in the newspaper? 5．Why has Leo done a lot of part-time jobs over the years? 6．Read the interviews again. Choose Sally or Leo. Guess why she/he keeps doing the present (现在的) job. I’d like to choose (受访者名字二选一). I think she/he keeps doing the present (现在的) job probably because . 7 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 Units 3~4（语篇综合练） （建议用时：40分钟） 完形填空 人与社会：主要介绍不同职业的价值，讲述普通人坚守岗位，用责任与热爱做好本职工作，为生活带来便利的小故事。 阅读A 人与社会：本文是一篇应用文，呈现四份不同岗位的招聘简介，介绍岗位工作内容、能力要求与工作特点。 阅读B 人与社会：本文介绍智能家居的几项常用功能及使用小贴士，包含远程控制家电、智能安防、节能模式，是一份实用的使用指南。 阅读C 人与社会：本文是一篇说明文，介绍智能家居的发展，讲解智能设备如何改变日常生活，同时客观提及智能产品存在的局限。 任务型阅读A 人与自我：主要讲述作者体验智能小屋的参观经历，记录各类智能设备的奇妙功能，表达对科技改变生活的感受。 任务型阅读B 人与社会：讲述 Mr. Wang 作为社区维修工的日常工作经历，描述他帮助邻居解决各类家居难题，体现这份职业的责任与温暖。 一、完形填空 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.

In 2013, I moved from an apartment to a loft (阁楼式公寓). To change the temperature on the air conditioner, I had to walk all the way downstairs. So, I bought my first smart home product: a thermostat. At that time, the experience felt truly amazing. But now, twenty years later, that magic feeling is gone. Smart home systems haven't really gotten better in some ways, they’ve become more troublesome. First, setting them up is time-consuming. Before buying a new device, you have to spend hours reading user reviews. After you buy it, it may not work as you expected. The setup (设置) can be long and confusing. Sometimes, the device just stops working for no reason. Second, devices often don’t work well together. Nowadays, more and more devices are made by small companies. So, they don’t have the money to test them with all the other products. There are also so many brands and systems that use different software. You have to switch between different apps. The technology is cheap to make. But connecting everything smoothly is hard. Last but not least, there is the problem of privacy. Many smart devices record sound and video every day. This information often goes to the company servers. This raises questions about who can view that information. You may also wonder what will happen to your smart home if the Internet stops working. Still, smart homes can be useful. But in the future, these devices need to be simpler, safer, and work together better. For now, setting up a smart home is like a hard game. Is it worth it? You decide. 1．Where did the writer move to after leaving the apartment? 2．What was the writer’s first smart home product? 3．Twenty years later, the writer didn’t feel good about the smart home systems, did he? 4．How many problems did the writer meet with his smart home systems? 5．In the writer’s eyes, how do these smart devices need to be in the future? 6．Would you like to have a smart home? Why or why not? 【答案】1．To a loft. 2．A thermostat. 3．No, he didn’t. 4．3/Three. 5．These devices need to be simpler, safer, and work together better. 6．Yes, I would. Because a smart bed can rock me to sleep.(答案不唯一) 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章主要讲述了作者对智能家居系统的体验，指出了智能家居目前存在的设置耗时、设备兼容性差以及隐私问题三大缺点，并对未来提出了期望。 【详解】 1．根据文章第1段“In 2013, I moved from an apartment to a loft”可推知作者从公寓搬到了阁楼。 2．根据文章第1段“So, I bought my first smart home product: a thermostat.”可推知第一个产品是温控器。 3．根据文章第1段“But now, twenty years later, that magic feeling is gone. Smart home systems haven’t really gotten better in some ways, they’ve become more troublesome.”可推知作者感觉不好。原句为反意疑问句“..., didn’t he?”，作者确实感觉不好（否定事实），回答用 No。 4．根据文章第2段“First...”，第3段“Second...”，第4段“Last but not least...”可推知作者一共提到了三个问题。 5．根据文章第5段“But in the future, these devices need to be simpler, safer, and work together better.”可推知未来设备需要的样子。 6．本题为开放性问题，言之有理即可。根据个人观点作答，例如认为智能家居方便。 Passage2 Sally: a vet What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?
