河北省秦皇岛市海港区 2021-2023年中考一模英语试题分类汇编 任务型阅读 2023年河北省秦皇岛市海港区中考一模英语试题 IX. 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并按要求完成66-70题。 Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in. Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices （设备）, such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves. Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes more convenient. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant（语音激活助手）. Google Home allows users to control nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks without using heir hands or walking around the house. Common household devices can become “smart”as well. For example, a sinart rubbish bin can memorize all the things you've thrown away and offer you a shopping list online, while a smart fridge can create dinner recipes （菜谱）according to the vegetables that are being kept inside. But it's not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and turning off lights and other devices that you're not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we make less pollution. That is good for the environment. 66题完成句子；67、68题简略回答问题；69题找出并写下第四段的主题句；70题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 66. ______________ can make our home a nicer place to live in. 67.
