4.Is your TV connected to the Internet?What about your chair or your fridge?It is possible that they are not.But in the future,most things in your home may be connected,as the so-called"Internet of things"is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.It is reported that during his speech earlier this year,Samsung CEO(首席執(zhí)行官)BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things.He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸塵器).
So,how do household(家用)objects that are part of Internet of things work?Well,think of a usual chair.When connected to the Internet,the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera,like a smart-home camera,could help people feel safer in their homes.It can recognize(識別)people's faces,and even can see when someone passes by in the dark.Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there.If the person is someone you don't know,it can tell you that,too.
But according to MIT Technology Review,whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet,there may be problems.For example,many early connected-home devices(裝置)don't have much built-in security,which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻擊),In addition,it could be difficult to getthese devices to work together because they are made by different companies.To fight this,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium,which had 45members by late 2014.
So,picture this:you walk in through the front door of your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school.Your favorite music starts playing for you.Do you think that this would be a good thing?It may happen sooner than you think.

分析 短文大意:你的電視和網(wǎng)絡連接起來了嗎?你的椅子或冰箱呢?它們沒有連接起來是可能的.但在未來,在你的家里大多數(shù)的東西可能被連接,因為所謂的"物聯(lián)網(wǎng)"正在開發(fā).
物聯(lián)網(wǎng)可能比你想象的要快.據(jù)悉,今年年初三星首席執(zhí)行官BK Yoon 在演講時花了很多時間談物聯(lián)網(wǎng).他說,從現(xiàn)在的五年時間里,每一個三星產(chǎn)品將是物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的一部分,無論是洗衣機還是吸塵器(吸塵器).
那么,作為物聯(lián)網(wǎng)一部分的家用電器是如何工作的呢?好了,想想一張平常的椅子.當連接到互聯(lián)網(wǎng),它知道,用戶剛剛走進房間,感覺寒冷,椅子就會自動加溫.
一個互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接的攝像頭,像一個智能家庭攝像頭,可以讓人們在自己家里有種安全感.它可以識別人臉,甚至可以看到在黑暗中通過的人.然后它可以給你的智能手機發(fā)送一個消息,讓你知道誰在那里.如果這個人是你不認識的人,它也可以告訴你.
但據(jù)MIT技術評論,企業(yè)是否連接狗食碗或安全(安全)系統(tǒng)到互聯(lián)網(wǎng),可能有問題.例如,許多早期的家庭連接設備(裝置)沒有內(nèi)置的安全性,這意味著他們可能被黑(被黑客攻擊),此外,因為他們是由不同的公司開發(fā)的,它可能很難和這些設備一起工作,互不兼容.為了和黑客作斗爭,許多公司已經(jīng)加入了開放互聯(lián)聯(lián)盟,其中到 2014年底已經(jīng)有45個成員.
所以,腦海中有這樣的圖片:你從你家的前門走進來,經(jīng)過了一天的學校生活,溫度變化讓你感到舒服.你最喜歡的音樂開始為你演奏.你認為這會是一件好事嗎?它可能比你想象的要更快的到來.
解答 32.答案:A. 推理判斷題.根據(jù)The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.可知不久我們?nèi)粘I钪袑霈F(xiàn)上網(wǎng)的東西.故選A.
33.答案:D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"It can recognize(識別) people's faces,and even can see when someone passes by in the dark.Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's the re."可知一部聯(lián)網(wǎng)的相機可以用于與用戶的智能機連接.故選D.
34.答案:C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school.Your favorite music starts playing for you."可知室內(nèi)的溫度不太高也不太低;你最喜歡的音樂開始播放;再根據(jù)"the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold."可知椅子會升溫.故選C.
35.答案B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)For example,many early connected-home devices(裝置) don't have much built-in security,which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻擊).In addition,it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different comp anies.可知一個是容易被黑客攻擊,還有一個就是有可能不兼容,聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務可以協(xié)作但容易被攻擊,這里只有B點都提及到了.故選B.
點評 本篇考查科教類短文閱讀.本文是一篇科技文.主要講述以后的家用設施將會更多地與網(wǎng)絡相連,更加智能化.在解答本部分題目時:看清題干,明確把握問題指向,帶著問題讀文章,避免"回視"現(xiàn)象,提高做題的速度,提高解題質(zhì)量.
