1、1.The 3rd Annual Internet of Things of Europe 2011 Conference, run with the support of the European Commission, will join together business leaders, consumer advocates, policymakers and entrepreneurs to explore what opportunities and risks the Internet of Things will offer businesses and consumers.
2、It will explore how the Internet of Things will re-shape our interactions with the real and virtual worlds in the coming years. Besides, this high level conference will explore the development of the Internet of Things and discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead. Panellists and speakers at th
3、e Internet of Things Europe 2011 Conference will share their insights and address questions.A: Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! Today we join together to hold the 3rd Annual Internet of Things Europe 2011 Conference to mainly explore three issues/questions. Firstly, whats the Internet of Things
4、. Secondly, how the Internet of Things will reshape our interactions with the real and virtual worlds in the coming years. Thirdly, the development of IOT and the opportunities and challenges it will face. Now, lets begin. Z, In your eyes, whats IOT?Z: A world where everything can be both analoguean
5、d digitally approachedthat reformulate our relationship with objectsas well as the objects themselves. 在这个世界里的一切既可以是模拟(类似物类似情况;对等的人)和数字接近,重新(再用形式表示)的关系,对象以及对象本身。J: Its absolutely right, but how to realize it?Z: Underlying IOT are technologies such as RFID, sensors, and smart phones. Any objects that
6、 carries an RFID tag relates not only to you, but also to other objects, relations or values in a database.物联网相关的技术,如 RFID,传感器和智能手机。任何带有 RFID 标签的对象不仅涉及到你,但也给其他对象,关系或值在数据库中。A: It sounds good and fascinating. I think it will change our life enormously.X: Yes, IOT will us bran-new world. In the future,
7、 everything of value will be on the internet in one form or another. And once theyre on the network, we can aggregate data from those diverse devices, and then deliver that data to equally diverse devices in informative and compelling ways.J: Can you give some example?X: Yes, of course. For example,
8、 alarm clocks go off early because they know there is a traffic problem.Z: And a smart medicine containers which can tell you when youve forgotten to take your pills. 一个聪明的药容器,它可以告诉你,当你忘了把你的药。X: yeah! You get it.A: Its really a magic. Everything just like a human. I seem to see the prosperous develo
9、pment. Whats your opinion, J?J: IOT is already on the way. For example, Ciscos Planetary Skin will use billions of networked sensors on land and in sea air and space to detect and predict changes to the environment. Beyond doubt, IOT will acquire a prosperous development. However, It will also face
10、many challenges. First, hardware must be more small and cheaper. How to aggregate the abundant data. A: And when billions of things are connected, talking and learning, the only limitation left will be our own imagination. J: Yes, you are right.A: Now we roughly talk over the three issues. I think w
11、e get desired result. IOT is a trend bound to hit us all in the future. Though it will face many challenges, it is bound to prosper and bring benefit to us. 2.Work in pairs.

From the Ministry of Environmental Protection on 27, for economic development and environmental pollution caused by the cost of continued growth, Chinas ecologi
23、cal environment “ wreck “ nearly a trillion yuan.A: To develop the economy, or to protect the environment, which can balance the two?C:There are so many pollutions and natural disasters in the world, and they all have the unpredictable effect. I believe that economic development should never be at t
24、he cost of the environment. They think the present serious environmental problems are largely caused by rapid economic development. D:I do not agree with you,I think it unnecessary to consider environmental problems now and our first priority should always be given to economic development. They beli
25、eve that environmental problems are inevitable(不可避免的) and unavoidable in the process of economic development. C:Are you sure? land resources are shrinking because of the industrial development and the expansion of cities. B:Our air and water supplies are being polluted by poisonous waste products. T
26、rees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. C:Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.B: I can not agree with you .More important, therefore, that we should take an

28、r economy.A: What he said makes sense, do not you care about our environment.D: I am a supporter of environmental protection. Having a healthy ecological environment is the premise of the sustainable development. But, if we blindly protect the environment, and neglect the economic development, then
29、it has not any good for both economical development and people living standard. A:At the same time, I must stress that the economic development not necessarily destroy the environment, such development also violates the natural law. While develop economy, we must give dual attention to the environme
30、ntal protection, this is the concept of sustainable economic development.D:It can be said that in the short term the contradictions between environmental protection and economic development will continue to exist. So we should change our ways of doing things gradually. Developing our economy, we sho
31、uld pay close attention our environment as much as possible. B:With the development of science and technology environmental protection and economic development can coexist in parallel and can stay in harmony. A:Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for o
32、ur people. What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment? There has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development of the society.4.The panel-a group of one to two students-will answer questions raise
