22、Smart watches, smart cars and smart cities—you’ve probably heard about some of these things recently. But what makes them smart? It is this big idea called the “Internet of Things”(IoT).

IoT is a hot topic now. It is said that in five years 30 to 50 billion IoT devices(设备) will be connected(被连接) and will change our lives.

What does that mean exactly?

IoT means to connect(连接) everyday objects(物品) to the Internet and to one another. How? By putting something and software(软件) into anything like cars, fridges and even our houses. With IoT, the physical world will become one big information system(系统). In the system, humans can not only talk to machines, but machines can talk to each other, too.

For example, in five years, your fridge could “remember” everything you put in and pull out. So it could send you e-mails with dinner ideas according to what food you have. Going to sleep on sofa while watching TV? No problem, your smart watch will notice and turn off your TV and lights. While driving home, your car may tell your house that you are five kilometers away. So the house will soon turn on the lights and start to warm up before you arrive.

Looking at the larger world, water and gas pipes(管道) can tell your town something dangerous may happen when there is a leak(泄露). Cities can also use it to monitor things like air quality(质量) and traffic. In one word, IoT will make people’s life much easier by helping save time, money and energy. Isn’t it cool?

Every coin has two sides. The IoT has its weakness(弱点) too. Someone could secretly find a way of getting information from your computer and change the software of your fridge and turn it off. Your house collects information on when you're at home and when you are not. But what if thieves(小偷) get this information, too? IoT needs to solve those problems.

根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

【1】The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A．监控

B．指挥

C．调整

【2】When you go to sleep while watching TV, your ________ can help you turn off your TV and lights.

A．smart cars

B．smart watch

C．smart house

【3】What bad things will happen if we use IoT?

A．Our fridge will be turned off by someone in the room.

B．The thieves may know when we are not at home by getting the information our house collects through the IoT system.

C．We can talk to machines, and machines can talk to each other.

【4】Which sentence is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．In five years, your fridge may tell you what dishes you can cook through e-mails.

B．The IoT system also helps keep the city you live in safe.

C．As soon as you get home, the house will turn on the lights and starts to warm up.

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Disadvantages(劣势) of IoT

B．IoT will Change the World We Live in

C．The Smart House We will Have

23、When you and your family go out for dinner, do you notice how many dishes you usually order? It’s fine if you finish all of them. But if you waste too much food, you might pay a fee for it in the near future.

On Dec 22, China’s top legislature (立法机关) reviewed a draft law (法律草案) for stopping food waste for the first time. In general, a draft will become law after the top legislature reviews (审议) it three times.

According to the draft law, restaurants should tell diners not to order too much. They should describe the size or amount of each dish. If customers leave too much food uneaten, restaurants can charge (收费) them for food waste.

The law also bans (禁止) waiters from encouraging diners to order too much food. Those who don’t follow the law will receive a fine from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan.

The draft law also asks schools to teach their students to avoid food waste. It bans livestreams (直播), radio and TV programs about overeating and overdrinking. Producers (创作者) of such programs will face a fine of up to 100,000 yuan.

Food waste happens in many places. In China alone, 35 million tons of food ends up in landfills (垃圾场) every year. About 12 percent of the nation’s harvest (粮食产量) goes to waste, CCTV News reported.

【1】The new draft law will ________.
