Before leaving work, Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air conditioner system at home. So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door, the temperature inside is perfect. You may wonder what a so-called smart home can do inside.

Lee works for a company called Smart home. com, testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets(自动化小配件), like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras.

“I have cameras, and they follow all the way down the freeway to work, ”said Lee with pride, “What's going on at home when you are away? No problem, install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you

can watch your house.”

“You can check on the house, and I can look at the temperature. Believe it or not, if I want to turn on lights ahead of time, I can, ”added Lee.

We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password, turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss' house in Wisconsin. Steve did have permission to log on(登录).

“If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely. ”

This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive. Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.

Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.

“I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is tu rned on.”

What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener”toward the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，”says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports，emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green think ing ” has become part of practices.

Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs；today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.

Twenty-five years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that，nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.

One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004.And that's true all across the country.

“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，”Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2-year-old son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.

Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn't want her children to miss out on their

roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.” she says.

“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce https://www.360docs.net/doc/ba10389686.html,plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”

The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

语篇解读：本文体裁为说明文。主要介绍了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎，从而引起了au pair的流行，即雇用说汉语的中国保姆来照顾孩子，以便孩子们能够跟保姆学习汉语等情况。

NEW YORK－Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ，a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.

The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.

The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I'm not too superstitious(迷信的). ”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.

White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.

“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said. “I

think it would be very cavalier to say it. ”

Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”.

Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.

“It's not about the money，”Palmer said. “I've got enough money for it. I think that's all that matters. ”

Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012. He describes himself as a billionaire.

TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state－owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer's mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.

语篇解读：本篇文章主要讲述澳大利亚一家公司建造“泰坦尼克二号”游轮的构想。

12. What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?

A．TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.

B．TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.

C．TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.

D．TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.

解析：推理判断题。根据第七段第一句可知“泰坦尼克二号”上救生艇的空间要比“泰坦尼克号”大。

答案：A

13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．1，500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912.

B．The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.

C．The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.

D．The Titanic was the world's largest ship at that time.

解析：细节理解题。由第八段第二句中“the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time”可知在“泰坦尼克号”在那个时代里是世界上最大的船。

答案：D

14. What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?

A．To tell us the story of the Titanic.

B．To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.

C．To tell us about the future Titanic.

D．To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.

解析：写作意图题。本篇文章主要介绍了“泰坦尼克二号”的设计、装修以及建造构想，故选C。

答案：C

15. What's the best title of the passage?

A．The Old Titanic

B．The Blueprints of TitanicⅡ

C．The Unsinkable TitanicⅡ

D．Clive Palmer－A Billionaire

解析：主旨大意题。由文章第一段中的“Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled blueprints for TitanicⅡ”可知选B。

答案：B

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time，16 Money is a topic I'll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：1．Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook? Do you

have the right materials already？17

2．Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread？18 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3．19 This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. 20 And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things.

B．Ability is easily improved.

C．Make three or four instead.

D．Understand your food better.

E．Cooking is a burden for many people.

F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

语篇解读：本文体裁为说明文。主要介绍了在忙碌的生活中怎样

享受烹调的乐趣的几条具体建议，如提前做好规划、一次多做点以及尝试一些新鲜的做法等。

16．解析：空格前面提到了三个原因：ability，money，time。空格后面提到了money是作者改天再讨论的话题，紧接着后面提到了怎样充分利用时间，所以这里应该与ability有关。

答案：B

17．解析：本段的主题句(Think ahead.)就是提前规划，并且本段的最后三句都是强调提前进行规划有助于省去将来的大量劳动。

答案：G

18．解析：结合本段的主题句(Make your time worth it.)可知，要充分利用你的时间，再根据空格前面的one可知，既然做一个也是做，为什么不多做点儿，以备将来之用呢？

答案：C

19．解析：此空需要填一个主题句，它需要概括全段的内容。结合空格后面的信息词surprise，experimentation，new ideas等可知与A项“尝试新东西”信息一致。

答案：A

20．解析：结合最后一段内容可知，此处与F项的信息，即“让做饭和简单生活成为一种享受，而不是一种负担”一致。

答案：F
