Is yur TV cnnected t the Internet? What abut yur chair r yur fridge? It is pssible that they are nt. But in the future, mst things in yur hme may be cnnected, as the s-called "Internet f things" is develping.
The Internet f things may be cming sner than yu think. It is reprted that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席執(zhí)行官) BK Yn spent a lt f time talking abut the Internet f things. He said that five years frm nw, every Samsung prduct will be part f the Internet f things, whether it's a washing machine r a vacuum cleaner(吸塵器).
S, hw d husehld(家用) bjects that are part f Internet f things wrk? Well, think f a usual chair. When cnnected t the Internet, the chair warms up when it knws that the user has just walked int the rm and is feeling cld.
An Internet-cnnected camera, like a smart-hme camera, culd help peple feel safer in their hmes. It can recgnize(識別) peple's faces, and even can see when smene passes by in the dark.

Fr example, many early cnnected-hme devices(裝置) dn't have much built-in security, which means they culd be hacked(被黑客攻擊). In additin, it culd be difficult t get these devices t wrk tgether because they are made by different cmpanies. T fight this, many cmpanies have jined the Open Intercnnect Cnsrtium, which had 45 members by late 2014.
S, picture this: yu walk in thrugh the frnt dr f yur hme. The temperature changes t make yu feel cmfrtable after a lng day at schl. Yur favrite music starts playing fr yu. D yu think that this wuld be a gd thing? It may happen sner than yu think.

【母愛】慈母手中線,游子身上衣,誰言寸草心,報得三春暉。母愛是世界上最偉大、最無私的,她寬容大度,她不求回報,她為子女付出很多很多……
I’ve lved my mther’s desk since I was just tall enugh t see abve the tp f it as mther sat ding letters. Standing by her chair, lking at the ink bttle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act f writing must be the mre wnderful thing in the wrld.
Years later, during her final illness, mther kept different things fr my sister and brther. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s fr Elizabeth. ”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she lved me; she shwed it in actin. But as a yung girl, I wanted heart-t-heart talks between mther and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf pened between us. I was “t emtinal(易動感情的)”. But she lived “n the surface(表面)”.
As years passed I had my wn family. I lved my mther and thanked her fr ur happy family. I wrte t her in careful wrds and asked her t let me knw in any way she chse that she did frgive(原諒) me.
I psted the letter and waited fr her answer. Nne came.
My hpe turned t disappintment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nthing happened. I culdn’t be sure that the letter had even gt t mther. I nly knew that I had written it, and I culd stp trying t make her int smene she was nt.
Nw the present f her desk tld, as she’d never been able t, that she was pleased that writing was my chsen wrk. I cleaned the desk carefully and fund sme papers inside —a pht f my father and a ne-page letter, flded(折疊) and reflded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way yu chse. Mther, yu always chse the act that speaks luder than wrds.

【答案及解析】
1. A. 從整篇文章我們知道,在學習英語翻譯句子時,我們不能逐字逐詞譯成母語,這樣做是不明智的,結果是譯成錯誤的句子。
2. B. 從文章中的第二段的這一句中It’s imprtant t master the rules fr wrd rder in the study f English, t. 可知B項為正確答案。
3. C. 從文章所舉的兩組例子和原句Smetimes when the rder f wrds in an English sentence is changed, the meaning f the sentence changes. 說明了作者的這一觀點:有時,不同的詞序會有不同的意思。

5. D. 從整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎樣學習英語?”,把它作為標題應該是最佳的。

The Wrld’s Water Shrtage
The wrld is nt nly hungry, but it is als thirsty fr water. This may seem strange t yu, since nearly 70 percent(百分比)f the earth’s surface is cvered with water. But abut 97 percent f this huge amunt is sea water, r salt water. Man can nly drink and use the ther 3 percent-the fresh water frm rivers, lakes, undergrund, and ther surces(資源).

But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still wuld nt have enugh. All we’d have t d t make use f the vast reserves(貯備)f sea water in the wrld is t remve the salt.
