阅读理解（共10题；每小题2分，满分20分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
A smart home, or smart house, is a home that includes advanced automation systems to provide the inhabitants with complicated monitoring and control over the building’s functions. For example, a smart home may control lighting, temperature, multimedia security, window and door operation, as well as many other functions.
Smart homes use home automation technologies to provide home owners with “intelligent” feedback and information by monitoring many aspects of a home. For example, a smart home’s refrigerator may be able to catalogue its contents, suggest menus, recommend healthy alternatives, and order replacements as food is used up. A smart home might even take care of the cat and the plants.
Many new homes are being built with the additional wiring and controls which are required to run advance home automation systems. Adding home automation technologies to a house to make it a smart home is obviously more costly than adding the required technologies to a new home due to the complications of routing wires and placing sensors in appropriate places.
The range of different smart home technologies available is expanding rapidly along with the developments in computer controls and sensors. This has led to compatibility（兼容性）issues and there is therefore a drive to standardize home automation technologies and protocols（规程）. In Europe, Installation Bus, or Instabus is becoming a recognized smart home technology protocol for digital communication between smart devices. It consists of a two-wire bus line that is installed along with normal electrical wiring. Instabus lines link appliances to a communication system and function like a telephone line over which appliances can be controlled.
Regardless of the technology, smart homes present some very exciting opportunities to change the way we live and work, and to reduce energy consumption at the same time. Imagine being able to check messages, open windows, operate lights and curtains, and monitor how much money your house has made from your renewable energy system, through your smart phone, from anywhere in the world! Home automation technologies have
developed so far that the only limit is your imagination. 66. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Smart homes use advanced automation systems to provide the owners with monitoring and control over the building’s functions.
B. Smart homes might even help the inhabitants take care of the pet and plants.
C. Smart homes are being built more expensively by adding home automation technologies. D. Smart homes can change the way we live and work, but use a large amount of energy. 67. The article is mainly about ______. A. the decorations of smart homes C. the popularity of smart homes
B. the advantages of smart homes
D. the improvement of smart homes B
Dear human beings,
As you mark off another “Earth Day” in your calendars, content that for at least 24 hours I remained in your thoughts, I want to remind you that I’m sick.
I’m frightened that unless I receive the appropriate medicine and care I need soon, my illness will become terminal and beyond all cures.
So, I’m asking for your help!
Currently over 7.4 billion of my inhabitants（居民）are one species in particular, human beings. In thousands of years gone by, we lived in harmony with one another. Your ancestors would take only what they needed from me and in return nature and protect my environment.
Like a proud parent, I have watched in awe as you evolved in abilities and intellect. But at what cost?
I hear whispered words in corridors of “Greed” and “Human domination（统治）” that your culture of consumerism and competitiveness has led you to ignore the place you all call home.
Surely this cannot be the case? Why would you destroy my forests? Why would you pollute my rivers and oceans? Why would you pump harmful gases into our environment? Surely you would not do this intentionally. It would make no sense.
I don’t wish to believe that you have become greedier and self-centered. I like to think that you have temporarily lost your way. I have faith that like a troublesome teenager, you just need the opportunity to return home and visit for a while.
There are many of you whom I have seen do just this. You have begun to recycle and reuse the waste you consume, look at alternative methods of sustainable energy and “rethink” the complex relationships we have always had.
If you are not one of these people yet, then I would encourage you to be mindful of me. Take time to sit on the grass and bring in my warming spirit. Spend time in nature, surrounded by my gifts.
Connect, and most importantly “Come Home!”
Yours friend, always
Earth
68. What does the underlined word “terminal” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. deadly

69. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Our ancestors took only what they needed from the earth and protect the environment thousands years ago.
B. Nowadays all people are fully aware of the fact that only by adopting alternative methods of sustainable energy can they live in harmony with nature.
C. The place we all call home is likely to be destroyed by the growing consumerism and competitiveness. D. The whispered words coming from the corridors make people ignore the earth. 70. The passage is mainly intended to ______. A. encourage people to spend time in nature
B. call on people to protect the earth D. call for immediate help
C. inform human being of the terrible situation
C
Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.
Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.
The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.
In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.
“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When
people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”
“You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”
“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”
“How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature. I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea.
Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”
Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter.
“I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.”
Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.
The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”
“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”
“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I'm going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”
Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.
One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.
“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me
