21、 Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things(IoT)? It’s a term that is being used more and more often lately.【1】Basically, any device with an on/off switch that connects to the Internet is part of the IoT. Based on this definition, What items might be part of the IoT? Look around you .Are there any devices in your home or classroom part of the IoT?【2】Your friend’s smartphone? Your teacher’s iWatch? How about those smart headphones you want for your birthday? These are all part of the IoT.
In many cases, these devices share data with each other.【3】For example, consider the devices in a smart home.There might be a smart thermostat(恒温器), a smart speaker and a smart oven(烤箱) . Now, picture a person walking home with a smartphone in their pocket. If the smartphones GPS knows the person will be home soon, it can send that Information to the other IoT devices, the thermostat can adjust to the person’s preferred temperature. The smart speaker can play their favorite album. 【4】All these things are done before the person walks through the door-and without them lifting a finger.
Exactly how big is the IoT? In 2020, it is estimated that about 34 billion devices will be connected. Just think of all the ways those devices can work together to make life easier!【5】with the threat of hackers(黑客) stealing data from devices in homes, cars and businesses. Security is now more important than never.
A.But what does it actually mean ?
B.But of course, there are drawbacks
C.Their universality might surprise you.
D.The smart oven can heat up their favorite snack
E.Too many IoT devices give little thought to the basics of security
F.The IoT bridges the gap between the digital world and the physical world.
G.By sharing data, devices on the loT work together to make some parts of life easier.
22、Based on the State Information Center (SIC)’s definition for a sharing economy, payment for knowledge can be regarded as a process of turning knowledge into commercial products or services. To be specific, people can share their knowledge with others via Internet platforms, meanwhile bringing themselves extra income. These platforms, at the same time, earn their profits on that.
The year 2016 marked the beginning of knowledge payment in China. An investigation jointly conducted by Guokr and Netease’s online platforms shows that 70% of users have paid for online learning; while in 2015, the number was only 26%.
In may, 2016,Zhihu, a Chinese question-and-answer website, launched Zhihu Live (payment sharing). Within three days, these new platforms attracted over one million users. In June, Luo Zhenyu, founder of LUOgic Show, launched Li Xiang’s Commercial References on iget(得到网),and within two days over four million users subscribed; in August, Z/"7m’s approval & tip function, Snowball O&A, Lenovo's Zhiliao Q&A came online; in September, Huxiu (虎嗅网)began to provide in-depth reports to VIP payment members. Other paid knowledge platforms such as Ximalaya FM, Douban,have also been developing their knowledge payment services.
People with a wealth of knowledge and experience in specific areas are the most likely to benefit from payment for knowledge. Senior managers in large multinational companies like Google, financial elites with top university backgrounds and well-known psychologists, can all profit from these online platforms. But the opportunities also favor the ordinary: a body-builder, a girl who traveled around the world, or a student that passed a postgraduate entry exam can all set up a live classroom. One hundred minutes of audio sharing cost ¥ 19.9 or $2.9, and thousands of users might pay and join the course, bringing those with specific knowledge remarkable income.
In the 2017 China’s Sharing Economy Development Report provided by the SIC,the turnover in China’s knowledge market measures about Y61 billion, or $9 billion,which is a 205% growth compared to last year; the number of payment for knowledge users reached 300 million, accounting for half of all Chinese Internet Users.
The investigation shows that, males are the majority of the users, accounting for nearly 60%: 25-35 year olds account for 59.3%, which mirrors the majority of Internet users, 63% of the paying users are college graduates, and 53.9% of the paying users have an income of Y3-8k,or $ 441-1176, and most are employees and junior management.
【1】Which of the following is not developed initially to provide payment services?
A. Zhihu Live B. Zhiliao Q&A
C. LUOgic Show D. Snowball Q&A
【2】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People are willing to pay online for knowledge.
B. People are anxious to gain knowledge online.
C. Knowledge services are developing fast.
D. Sharing economy online is on the rise.
【3】How is the passage developed?
A. By giving explanations. B. By making comparison.
C. By listing examples. D. By providing data.
【4】Who is least likely to benefit from payment for knowledge?
A. A senior manager in Baidu. B. A boy in junior school.
C. A famous psychologist. D. An experienced traveler.

24、As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created miniature 3D printed villages to address homelessness, they learned lessons far beyond technology.
“It Takes a Village” began as a project for a science class, inspired by life-size 3D-printed homes built by Austin, Texas-based technology company Icon.
No strangers to classroom 3D projects, the students were fascinated by Icon’s use of a similar process to create homes made of inexpensive concrete-like material. Unlike standard construction methods, the process of building these durable homes takes just a few days.
While creating their mini 3D buildings, the students explored how such technology allows design freedom and quick changes. Mathematical conversions helped get the relations right. For example, a real 25-foot-by-20-foot one-bedroom house would be printed as 40-millimeter-by-32-millimeter (about 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/4 inch) for their mini village. Salwa Seman, 11, said that getting the dimensions and settings correct before construction began was challenging as she created a curved-wall amphitheater (圆形剧场).
The tech-focused project quickly evolved into “an exercise in empathy (共情), innovation and cooperation designed to bring about lasting change”. “When most people think of helping the homeless, they think of food and clothing drives,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. “While necessary, those are temporary fixes. Even housing by itself is not a complete solution.”
In designing their leave-homelessness-behind neighborhoods, priorities were shelter, food stores, schools, and health centers. But to build a sense of belonging and purpose, the miniature communities also emphasized areas for frequent interaction among residents. “We wanted to make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11. A community garden, a place to raise chickens, an amphitheater for shared events, bus stops for access to jobs, and infrastructure for Wi-Fi and cellphones to help in job searches were important features to offer formerly unhoused residents.
Amber Fogarty, president of a nonprofit organization tackling homelessness in Austin, said, “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but community will. People need a place where they are known, cared for and loved.”
【1】Which can be used to describe homes created by Icon?
A.Hard-sided.
B.Long-lasting.
C.Rough-edged.
D.Strong-minded.
【2】What conclusion can we draw from Galicia’ words?

B.Temporary solutions have proved to be of little help to unhoused people.
C.Providing unhoused people with a place to live will solve all of their problems.
D.A comprehensive approach is required to fully address the issue of homelessness.
【3】The author may agree to the ideas EXCEPT that________.
A.a team of people can use 3D printing to build homes
B.builders can adapt a 3D-printed design to fit a person’s preferences
C.the students faced challenges in building their miniature communities
D.places for personal interactions are an important aspect of a community
【4】What is the purpose of the sixth paragraph?
A.To emphasize community gardens as the most important part of neighborhoods.
B.To illustrate technology has nothing to do with helping unhoused people.
C.To show specific ways the students focused on more than just housing.
D.To promote the project as a profitable design to Austin.
