Strange though it may seem—“my wife already does that”was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet- connected features in machines in an effort to make them“smart. ” Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi- Fi- enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it’s not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 “If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go, ”said spokesperson Amy Schmidt. The company also says that with electricity rates (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV. 1. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES? A. The machine will be a big success. B. Their wives like doing the laundry. C. The machine is unrelated to their life. D. This kind of technology is familiar to them. 2. What can we learn about the new laundry machines? A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing. B. They can be controlled with a smartphone. C. They are difficult to operate. D. They are sold at a low price. 3. We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that . A. the app connection makes life easier B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning C. smartphones can shorten the drying time D. we should refresh clothes back at home 4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The laundry should be frequently checked. B. Lazy people like using such machines. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 C. Good technologies also cause problems. D. Television may help do the laundry. 【参考答案】1—4、DBAC 2015 高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）【2015·新课标全国 II】C More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year. This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said. But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said. 29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text? It is flexible in length. It is a time for relaxation It is increasingly popular It is required by universities 30.

Attend additional courses. Make plans for the new term Earn money for their education Prepare for their graduate studies 【答案】 29. C 30. A 31. B 32. C 31.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 But not everyone is happy. 然后提到 Owain，Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship，这证明学生很难；…more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.他说越来越多的学生会在 gap year 期间是要去挣大学的费用。故选 B。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 32. C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话可知：NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” 数据表明， 40%多的学生在学校兼职，90%的学生要在假期打工挣学费。 【考点定位】社会社会类短文阅读 【名师点睛】本题以大学生做兼职或专职去挣钱为话题，通过对相关数据的分析可知，大学学生的学费给他 们的学习生活带来了深刻的影响。我们考生应多关注社会生活方面的文章，才能更好地理解文章，解决相关 的问题。 2016 高考训练题。阅读理解。 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。 Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in. There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen. Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallal’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British. These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(寿命) as smoking. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 1. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that_________. A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discovered B. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise C. the good enough data has been collected from only one country D. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree 2. According to the study, women of Luxembourg_________. A. have little time to exercise B. hate to get regular exercise C. take more exercise to lose weight D. exercise more than men in their country 3. The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________. A. powerful B. rich C. lazy D. unpopular 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise B. New Health Discovery C. Evolvement of Human Beings D. Benefits of Taking Exercise 参考答案 1—4、DDCA
