　　2. According to the article, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

　　A. IOT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.

　　B. IOT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.

　　C. IOT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more smartly.

　　D. IOT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.

　　【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第一个表格提到物联网可以帮助人们跟踪事物和进程, 飞机制造商可以时时地跟踪飞机的部分零件, 进行定期维修, 节约成本, 允许人们观察能源的使用和注意价格的变化, 以便人们及时调整自己的习惯, 在低价时间用电, 故D项没有提到。

　　3. What else do critics worry about the IOT besides its probably ending up being a fashion?

　　A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.

　　B. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.

　　C. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.

　　D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.

　　【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二个表格提到Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that’s outdated. 一些批评家怀疑这些公司能不能提供长期的软件更新, 如果这事发生的话, 冰箱和洗衣机本能持续用十年却因为不能更新而只能用两三年, 故选C项。
