18．For those who are tired doing the laundry，Samsung has found an answer：a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app．
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 （安裝） 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．
"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 come home，so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go，"said spokesperson Amy Schmidt．
The company also says that with electricity price 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．

33．What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES？C
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．
34．What can we learn about the new laundry machines？B
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
35．What is the main idea of the last paragraph？C
A．The laundry should be frequently checked
B．Lazy people like using such machines
C．Good technologies also cause problems
D．Television may help do the laundry．

分析 本文是一篇科技說明文．介紹了一種可以用智能手機(jī)控制的洗衣機(jī)．手機(jī)安裝下載的洗衣機(jī)應(yīng)用程序，然后，手機(jī)就可以成為遙控工具，你在公共汽車上或是在上班都可以開、關(guān)洗衣機(jī)．

33．C 考查推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段中的…"my wife already does that"was a common response…可以推斷，大多人對于這種新型洗衣機(jī)不大感興趣，因?yàn)榇蠖喽际瞧拮酉匆路?br />34．B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解．根據(jù)第一段中的…when your laundry is done via a smartphone app．可知，這種洗衣機(jī)是由智能手機(jī)操控的，因此選B．
35．C 考查文章的主旨大意．從最后一段…is what all good technologies do-enable laziness可以得知，這種新型洗衣機(jī)和其他科技一樣，也能讓我們變懶，這是一個(gè)弊端．

2．"Eat local．"It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet．Eating local means to try to buy and consume（消耗） foods that are grown in places close to home．However，most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced．Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away．During the transportation，greenhouse gases are produced，causing global warming．So the shorter the distance your foods must travel，the less the harm is done to the environment．
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city，hundreds of miles away from farms？Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical（垂直的） farm"．
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper（摩天大樓）．Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than an ordinary farm．The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming．Vertical farms could be a key to this situation．Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．The walls of the building would be clear，to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible．Depending on a city's water resources，Despommier thinks hydroponic（水培） farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants．
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow．If this method works，it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water．
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world．Scott Stringer，a government official from New York City，thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming．"Obviously we don't have much land left for us，"Stringer said，"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan．"
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality．"But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way．"he says．
8．Why are people advised to eat local？C
A．Because it means convenience to people．
B．Because it can help people save a lot of money．
C．Because it is environmentally friendly．
D．Because local food has more nutrition．
9．Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming？B
A．It produces healthier food．
B．It needs less space of the city．
C．It consumes more energy of the city．
D．It does less harm to the cities．
10．From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD．
A．Manhattan has a great potential（潛力） for development
B．there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C．the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D．people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11．What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage？B
A．It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way．
B．In a vertical farm，soil may not be needed to grow plants．
C．It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．
D．Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm．

7．A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world．The boy walked a long way，and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived．
On entering the main room of the castle，the boy was quite surprised：tradesmen coming and going，people chatting in the corners，and a small orchestra playing soft music．The wise man talked with everyone，and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn．
The wise man listened carefully to the boy's explanation of why he had come，but told him that he didn't have time just then to explain the secret of happiness．He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours．
"Meanwhile，I want to ask you to do something，"said the wise man，handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil．"As you wander around，carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill．"
The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace，keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon．After two hours，he returned to the wise man．
"Well，"asked the wise man，"Did you see the Persian tapestries（掛毯）in the hall？Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create？"The boy was embarrassed，and replied that he had observed nothing．His only concern had been not to spill the oil．
"Then go back and observe the wonders of my world，"said the wise man．The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace．This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls．When he returned，he described in detail everything he had seen．
"But where are the drops of oil？"asked the wise man．Looking down at the spoon he held，the boy saw that the oil was gone．
"Well，there is only one piece of advice I can give you，"said the wise man．"The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world，and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon．"
