【題目】 Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (遠(yuǎn)程遙控系統(tǒng))－allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自動扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

【1】According to the text, living in a “smart” city _______.

A.will cost lots of moneyB.will be far from you

C.will soon become trueD.is completely impossible

【2】Paragraph 2 is mainly about _______.

A.a city of the futureB.a meeting in Songdo

【題目】 I’ll never forget the Easter in 1946. I was twelve, my little sister, Ocy, was ten and my older sister, Darlene, was fourteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what we should do without dad. My dad had died five years before leaving Mom with no money and three school-aged kids to raise．

By 1946, a month before Easter, the pastor（牧師） of our church announced that a special holiday offering would be taken to help a poor family. We talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and lived on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we turned our electric lights off as much as possible, we'd save money on that month's electric bill．

The night before Easter, we were so excited that we could hardly sleep. We didn’t care that we wouldn’t have new clothes for Easter; we had seventy dollars for the sacrificial offering. We could hardly wait to get to the church!

Finally, we sat in church proudly. When the offering began, mom put in a ten-dollar bill and each of us kids put in a twenty-dollar bill. We sang all the way home from church. Over lunch, mom had a surprise for us. She had bought a dozen eggs, and we had boiled Easter eggs with our fried potatoes!

Later that afternoon the pastor dropped by. Mom went to the door, talked with him for a moment, and then came back with an envelope in her hand. We asked what it was, but she didn’t say a word. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money．

【題目】 When you are learning English, you find it doesn 't work to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It will be an incorrect sentence in your own language

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. it's also important to understand the rules for word order in the study of English. if the speaker puts words in the wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, but times if the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.She only likes apples.Only she likes apples I have seen the film already."I have already seen the film.When you are learning English, please remember to get the spirit of the language .And you should also remember to use it like the English speaker.
