【江苏省常州市2015年中考英语试题】阅谈理解(共13小题;每小题2分，满分26分）
阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
D
Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官)BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now，every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).
So, how do household(家用)objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别)people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example,many early connected-home devices(装置)don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击)，In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.
So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that_____.

A．the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner

B．Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently

C．Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things

D．he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things

We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that

A．the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not

B．a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in

C．an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house

D．an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone

According to the passage, it is mentioned that_____·
①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low
②your fridge provides the drinks for you
③the chair warms up if you feel cold
④your favourite music starts playing
⑤your washing machine starts working

A．①②⑤

B．②③④

C．①③④

D．①④⑤

What's the problem about the Internet of things?

A．Companies which produce connected-home devices haven't joined together.

B．Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked.

C．Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet.’

D．These new devices are produced by different companies.

You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1）　　.

Say it

First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2）　　.Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!

Use context

If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3）　　.Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.

（4）　　

If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.

Look it up

If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5）　　，either a book or online.

Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.

Vicuna，a small town in the north of Chile，is a great place for watching stars all year round.Although it is near the sea，the cold，wet air from the coast does not bring clouds.Instead，dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night.In fact，the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced（先进的）instruments in other parts of the world.

In Vicuna，distant（遥远的）star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument.That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories（天文台）.One of them，the Mamalluca，is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists.This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars.During the year，Vicuna's hotels accommodatethousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books.The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town，which plans to set up even more observatories.It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.

At one point，however，the town faced a serious problem.As the town grew，more streetlights were added，making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night.The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.
