26、   The United States of America is mainly an English-speaking country. The majority of the population speak English as their native language. Besides，education，social activities，etc. are conducted in English. Across but for the most part，Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.

However，not everyone in the USA is a native speaker of English. Most immigrants (移民)are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the USA where English is not the most commonly used languages. Chinese，Italian，German，Greek，Spanish and French are all spoken in various communities in the USA. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English.It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country. For speakers of other languages，learning English is important，but teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to “pick up ” the language by meeting with others in public. Recently，this has changed.

Today，most large public schools and community colleges have ESL(English as a Second Language )programs; American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will use it. Therefore，ESL programs offer different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. Other programs teach the kind of English people who will need for their jobs. American ESL instructional methods do not lay emphasis on grammar or translation，but on the importance of communication. The goal is to get the English learners to learn by using the language.

【1】In the past the non-English immigrants___________.

A. didn’t know how to learn English B. found that English was not important

C. learned English through books D. paid special attention to teaching English

【2】__________ is the most widely used language except English in the US.

A. ESL B. French

C. Spanish D. Chinese

【3】The phrase “pick up” in the second paragraph means “__________”.

A. try to master B. repeat again and again

C. go to school sometimes D. learn without studying or taking lessons

27、Nowadays people tend to digitalise everything from watches to fridges. It seems you can choose any item labeled as “smart”. 【1】. However, there are plenty that can be used to reduce emissions and save money.

If you’re a part of the digitalisation movement，you might be interested in the concept of smart homes. It means that every element of your house can be controlled from a panel on the wall or your phone.【2】. Use your mobile to power them on or off，and you may feel truly modern or truly lazy. Aside from the benefits of living a more comfortable life, this presents an opportunity to cut down on your electrical bills.

Electricity generation today represents 31% of total global fossil fuel use and around 40% of all energy-related CO2 emissions.【3】 It is considered as the first step to prevent global climate change. Connect a smart thermometer to the heating and cooling system and set a specific temperature at which the heating begins to work. Doing so, the room will be at a desired temperature when necessary and switches on a power-saving mode when not occupied. Similarly, by installing a CO2 sensor, you can have an automated ventilation (通风) system.【4】.

In a 150,000m2 office complex near Munich， called Campeon, energy costs of up to 117,067 Euro were saved after the use of environmental control devices this year. In this way, they are contributing to a large decrease in CO2 emissions. Clearly, smart homes are about much more than just living a comfortable life.【5】.

B．Smart devices have been installed worldwide nowadays

C．It starts working only when CO2 concentrations reach a certain limit

D．There seem to be an ocean of such so-called “smart” inventions

E．Bearing this in mind, measures should be taken to make buildings more energy-efficient

F．Alternative energy must be discovered before the fossil fuel runs out in the future

G．This includes basics such as heating and lighting and many other appliances

Consider renting. 【3】. After all, how often will you be wearing that normal dress?

【4】. When it comes to clothes, you should often pick out the unused. Selling them on eBay or Carousell can give you extra cash to go shopping with.
