21．（6分）Most of us have been in this situation: Y ou're on your way to your friend's house, then you suddenly ask yourself,"Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with "smart homes", however, this wouldn’t be a problem.
Over the last few years,smart home technology has become more popular. Thanks to user-friendly p
roducts like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.
While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors.
“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber, director of research for U. S -based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.
And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medication(冥想). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.
“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC．"It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million
kroner(about 0. 8 million yuan )per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a yea r.”
So, for those who have already "gone smart", will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the old-fashioned way? "I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend’s house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do, "Poulson, 35, a senior program manager from Seattle.,U. S.,explained.

22．（8分）Nobel prize winners sometimes display as much uniqueness when deciding how to spend their prize money as they did on the work that won them the award in the first place.
When Sir Paul Nurse won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2001, he decided to upgrade his motorbike. A fellow winner in 1993, Richard Roberts, installed a croquet lawn in front of his house. Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, who won in 2004, said the prize meant “financial independence.”
Lars Heikensten, executive director of the Nobel Foundation, said there were no obvious shopping trends among winners.
“I think it depends a lot on which country they come from, their what kind of incomes they have when they get the prize,” he said.
Real estate, however, is a popular option, at least among those willing to reveal what they spend the money on. Phillip Sharp, the American co-winner of the 1993 medicine prize, decided to splash out on a 100-year-old Federal style house. “I took that money and bought a little bit It’s a beautiful old place,” he told AFP(法新社), adding that “The money is a nice part of the process”, but “the important thing about the prize is the recognition.”
For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clear-cut, as the honor tends to go to politicians, organizations and activists who are under more public supervision. Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the European Union in 2012, donate to charities.
Literature winners tend to be more private about how they use the money, but the choice is often equally straightforward. “Even if Nobel-winning authors are quite well known, many of them will not have made much money from writing," said Anna Gunder, a Nobel literature expert at Uppsala University. While the prize might keep the wolf from the door for some years, giving them freedom to write, it can also briefly have the opposite effect. “It really changes During the first year after they’ve won they often write less, but they generally continue after a ye ar or two,” said Gunder.
1、From the passage, we learn that ________.
A．the money is actually the best part of the Nobel Prize
B．Nobel winners have great originality in using prize money
C．few winners would spend their prize money on houses
D．winners become more independent on their country
2、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “clear-cut” in paragraph 6?
A．open B．private C．unique D．complex
3、According to the passage, in the first year after winning Noble Prize, literature winners may ________.
A．become less productive
B．make more money from writing
C．have the freedom to create more and better works
D．disappear from the public eyes for a period of time
23．（8分）Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬）, to help ease the loss of our daughter. Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.
At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.
We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.
At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.
Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.
In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes wh
enever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.
One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.
1、What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Shocked. B．Curious.
C．Worried. D．Eager.
2、How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?
A．Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.
B．They fought with each other fiercely.排比句大全 优美
C．They kept a certain distance from each other.
D．Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.
