19、选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat Smart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most, but depending on what your home is like, its possible to say the ecobee3 is superior. Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits, including the ecobee3. They
20、 can learn your preferences and schedules, and then adjust the temperature accordingly. Theyre better-looking and more enjoyable to use than the basic pieces of plastic that occupy most households. Their very presence will probably 4 / 14 make you more conscious about saving energy. And once youre a
21、ble to heat up or cool down your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed, you wont want to go back. If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more convenientprovided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty expensive at that point, but having tho
22、se gives you effective control over the temperature in different rooms around your house. In comparison, other thermostats measurements are largely limited to the area in which theyre installed (安装 ). If you live in a smaller place, thats no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct advantages. It is
23、 touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when you want to enter a WiFi password, see weather information, and so on. Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on whether you need a whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now, if

B Dream in Heart On the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmatea wrinkled little old ladyto us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old. After class Rose a
27、nd I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted
28、, listening to this time machine as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated, responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She e
29、ven participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that 5 / 14 extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned in
30、to the microphone and simply said, Im sorry Im so nervous. As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If youre nineteen years old and lie in bed for
31、one full year, you will turn twenty. If Im eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. Its non-optional but that doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly dont hav
32、e regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do. Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives. At the years end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One
33、 week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that its never too late to be all you can possibly be. 39.

34、ress her old age and knowledge of life. B. To describe the close friendship between them. C. To show that she always enjoyed her active life. D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college. 40. Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because _. A. she was a great football
35、fan B. she was the smartest student C. she tried hard to achieve her dream D. she became more educated than the others 41. We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that _. A. growing older means growing up B. it takes talent and ability to grow up C. receiving high education helps to be courageou
36、s D. one grows older at the same time when he grows up 42. The passage is intended to _. A. provide an example for the elderly B. discuss how to grow up quickly C. tell the importance of attending college D. inspire the readers to live up to lives C Senses That Work Together When we think about how
37、our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you 6 / 14 sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, its more complex than that. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉 ) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉 ). But research that
38、 shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing. When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a mysterious area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle, they ha
39、d to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive bo
40、th smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing
41、their activity. Of course, mice arent people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the
42、notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal. Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ord
43、ered some special toffee (太妃糖 ) and put together soundscapes corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtrack they were listening to. Studies like thi
44、s are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soun
45、dtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains dont get round to. 43. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A lot of research focuses on the senses. B. Sound and vision are relatively easy to study. C. There can b
46、e a link between sound and smell. D. Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain. 44. In Wesson and Wilsons research, _. A. the mice were affected more significantly by sound B. the result confirmed what the researchers had suspected C. the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smel
47、ls D. the connection between sound and smell was found by chance 7 / 14 45. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Participants took an active part in the experiments. B. The purpose of the further experiments was totally different. C. The result failed to support what was found in previous experi
48、ments. D. Experiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent. 46. How does the author feel about the effect of the research? A. She is excited about the creative chances. B. She is surprised at the recent developments. C. She is convinced that the findings will be used soon. D. She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied. D Comedy and Psychology Earlier this year I did a part-time comedy course. The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian. I had performed a show, which was
