Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer? These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems.However, in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget. These smart homes will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in. ① Intelligent Controls Today, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs for our appliances, and remote controls for our TVs and air conditioners.In the future, we will be using advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home.The future home will use integrated sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by itself. You will no longer have to think about turning switches on and off yourself.Your home will also learn your daily routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening.Your lights will come on the instant you enter the door along with your favourite music or TV programmes，and you will find your dinner already prepared for you.All controls will respond to voice commands, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey. ② Regular Health Checks In addition, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day.Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night.It will also be checking your body weight.If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning to your phone.It will also give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how to sleep better.Smart toilets will be keeping constant track of your health as well. They can warn you early on if there is something abnormal or if you have a critical illness, such as cancer, and potentially save your life. ③ No More Disasters Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents.For example, if a water pipe starts leaking, or if there is a short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information.This way，you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded or catches fire. This smart technology is not a fantasy.Many of these new innovations are already available and being used in some homes.In this sense, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today.Nevertheless, it will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology. 滴水穿石　 1．由文积词汇 switch off　　　　　　 关(电灯、机器等) all the time 一直 appliance n. 电器；器具 remote control 遥控器；遥控 automatic adj. 自动的 integrated adj. 各部分密切协调的；综合的 leak vi.& vt. 漏；渗漏；透露 n. 漏洞；裂缝；透露 relevant adj. 有关的；有意义的 innovation n. 创新；创造 nevertheless adv. 尽管如此；不过；然而 2．据文悟句式 句①　本句为复合句。主句使用了将来进行时。that引导定语从句，修饰先行词smart homes，that在从句中作主语；该从句的主干为“that will lock the door for us and remember to switch off the TV”；定语从句中又包含两个由when引导的时间状语从句。 句②　本句为and连接的并列复合句。第一个分句中，the instant you enter the door为the instant引导的时间状语从句，the instant表示“一……就……”。 句③　本句是由and连接的并列句，在第一个分句中有两个if引导的条件状语从句。 课时检测 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Robots are known as the future of technology.Robotics technology has just landed in the workplace and there is a lot of work to do.Below we'll discuss some of the best and most advanced robots ever made by humans. Asimo The primary focus of the robot is to help people.Asimo travels all around the world, making people aware how robots can make life easier and help humans.It can dance, run and even kick a soccer ball.The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese, Chinese and English. Created by: Honda (Japan) Sophia It is a realistic example of a perfect robot because it has about 50 different facial expressions just like humans.Sophia is primarily designed for education，research and entertainment.It travels throughout the world explaining to people the importance of robots in human life. Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China) Atlas Its body shape is so dynamic that it can use its all body skills to move quickly and balance itself on diverse terrains (地形)．The robot is capable of performing many different tasks but some favourite tasks are running，jumping and turning over.Its advanced AI systems make it capable of sensing barriers and negotiating diverse terrains. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) Spot Spot is an animal robot, or say a dog robot, because it looks very similar to a dog.Spot can search around your office, home, playground etc.as a normal dog usually does.Spot has some outstanding functions.For example, it can map your environment, sense barriers, and lift packages. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四款机器人。 √ 1．Which of the following characterizes Asimo? A．Its high speed. B．Its facial expressions. C．Its language ability. D．Its communication skills. 解析：细节理解题。根据 Asimo 部分最后一句“The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese，Chinese and English.”可知，该机器人可以用三种不同的语言与人交流，即Asimo的主要特征是它的语言能力。 √ 2．Which robot is created by China? A．Asimo. B．Sophia. C．Atlas. D．Spot. 解析：细节理解题。根据Sophia部分中的“Created by: Hanson Robotics(Hong Kong，China)”可知，Sophia是中国创造的。 √ 3．What do Atlas and Spot have in common? A．They can change their body shapes. B．They can carry small packages. C．They can help do some housework. D．They can detect barriers around. 解析：细节理解题。根据Atlas部分中的“Its advanced AI systems make it capable of sensing barriers and negotiating diverse terrains.”和Spot部分中的“Spot has some outstanding functions ... sense barriers, and lift packages.”可知，Atlas和Spot的共同之处在于它们可以探测到周围的障碍物。 B Max Du won the Canada-Wide Science Fair.His project is a drone (无人机) to save people who go into cardiac (心脏的) arrest.Max got the inspiration during Christmas break last year.“I got a toy drone from my parents, but I couldn't fly it because it is snowy.” Max said.“So I played with it at home, and it got me thinking how a drone could be used as an indoor robot that could help people.” About 35,000 people have cardiac arrests in Canada each year.Most of those happen outside of a hospital, of whom fewer than 10 percent survive.Max believed a drone could offer faster support and life-saving medicine, but he had to build it himself to know for sure. Testing his drone took about six months.Max's parents had to deal with their son's constantly flying and crashing in the home.Every time Max would create an exciting innovation, such as an extendable arm, it would add extra weight to his drone, causing it to break apart.Then Max would have to buy all new parts.Max tested using more lightweight materials until his design was more balanced. Through trial and error, the 14-year-old boy finally got it right.His drone can open a door handle, fly in the air and then land softly on the ground.A new extendable arm can be released to administer a shot or hand a patient life-saving medicine.A built-in camera could directly conference with an emergency response team whose members could monitor the patient remotely. Max plans on applying for a patent (专利) so he can make connections in the health-care industry to get it made for real.He's spent his summer learning about artificial intelligence at California's Stanford University as one of 32 kids selected worldwide.He'll head next to the University of Pennsylvania to take a college-level robotics class before returning to high school in September. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位14岁的少年设计用于救助心脏病人的无人机并因此获奖的故事。 √ 4．Why did Max Du design a drone by himself? A．He had sympathy for those with heart attacks. B．He had nothing to do in Christmas holidays. C．He wanted to use it to help his parents. D．He tried to make it fly in the snow. 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段Max所说的话及第二段中的“Max believed a drone could offer faster support and life-saving medicine, but he had to build it himself to know for sure.”可知，他的无人机是用来帮助心脏骤停的病人的，表明他很同情患有心脏病的人。 √ 5．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A．Most of the people with cardiac arrests in Canada can survive. B．Max's parents were unwilling to help during his drone design. C．It's very important to control the balance of the drone. D．Max's design of the extendable arm is very smooth. 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句可知，可伸展的机械臂会给无人机增加额外的重量导致它四分五裂。Max需要使用更轻的材料使他的设计更加平衡。由此可见，控制无人机的平衡是很重要的。 √ 6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The instructions for using the drone. B．The reason for applying for a patent. C．The process of Max's success. D．The functions of the new drone. 解析：段落大意题。通读第四段可知，本段的主要部分，即第二句到第四句都介绍了Max的无人机的功能。因此本段主要是关于无人机的功能。 √ 7．Which of the following can best describe Max? A．Considerate and brave. B．Talented and creative. C．Clever and honest. D．Helpful and loyal. 解析：推理判断题。根据全文可知，Max自己设计救助心脏病人的无人机表明他很有创造力，最后一段说明Max在人工智能方面很有天赋。故B选项“有天赋的并具有创造力的”符合题意。 C Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine.Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn't wait to start their holiday. A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently.Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat.“Palm Trees Hotel, please，” Derek said excitedly.“Certainly, sir，” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile.Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic.“Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar — in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton ...but of course, you can't be.” Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor.“Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers.“So, here I am，” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver！” Derek and Shirley held each other's hands more tightly.“Relax，” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about.I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent.I'm equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city.I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner.Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.” Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes.“And another thing，” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology.I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks.Therefore, you are entirely safe with me.Nothing could possibly go wrong ... could possibly go wrong ... go wrong ... go wrong ...” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Derek和Shirley到达旅游目的地，从机场大楼出来后乘坐的出租车是机器人司机。通过描述他们之间的对话，文章介绍了机器人司机的一些优点。 √ 8．Why did Derek and Shirley feel puzzled when they got into the taxi? A．The driver gave them a big smile. B．The driver was Rocky Overton. C．The driver looked like a famous actor. D．The driver was a robot. 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的“Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar — in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton ...but of course, you can't be.”可知，Derek和Shirley钻进出租车时感到困惑是因为司机看起来像一个著名的演员。 √ 9．What do we know about the taxi driver “Rocky”？ A．It is the first robot taxi driver in the world. B．It has the perfect vision and superior reactions. C．It has never get stuck in traffic jams. D．It is instantly updated with the latest news. 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“I'm equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions”可知，出租车司机“Rocky”有完美的视力和卓越的反应。 √ 10．What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Comforted.　　　 B．Threatened. C．Surprised. D．Persuaded. 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文的“Derek and Shirley held each other's hands more tightly.”和下文的“there is nothing for you to worry about”可知，机器人司机在安慰他们。reassure意为“安慰”，和comfort意思相近。 √ 11．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Robot drivers are perfectly designed. B．Robot drivers cannot repeat the words. C．Robot drivers are not so reliable as expected. D．Robot drivers are much safer than human drivers. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Nothing could possibly go wrong ... could possibly go wrong ... go wrong ... go wrong ...”可知，机器人司机程序出错了，因此我们可以推断出机器人司机并没有想象中那么可靠。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Online courses have become popular in many countries.There are different kinds of online courses, but most show a video of a teacher and students in a classroom.Students watch the video online and take part in online activities.Some courses are free and open to anyone. 12_ Of course, watching videos on a screen is not the same as taking part in a real class. 13 In Singapore, eight schools have been chosen to try new ways of using technology in the classroom.The schools have tablets (平板电脑) and touch screens instead of books and blackboards in the classrooms. 14 Through them, students can communicate with each other and work on projects together. In South Korea, some students have been taught English by teachers in the Philippines and other countries since 2011.The teachers are in their home countries and are connected to the Korean classrooms via the Internet.Instead of looking at a screen, the students interact with a robot in the classroom.The robot is controlled by the teacher. 15_ Thanks to technology, more and more ways of teaching and learning are being developed. 16 But one thing is for sure — there has never been a more interesting time to be a student. A．E-learning can be successful. B．There are also social media platforms (平台)． C．Other kinds of e-learning are being tested around the world. D．They give students anywhere the chance to study at any time. E．Nobody knows what the classroom of the future will look like. F．And it can move around the classroom and talk with the students. G．The courses that are taught via the Internet are called online courses. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在线课程的有关内容，包括在线课程的形式、内容等。随着科技的发展，教学方式也在不断地发展。 12．选D　根据空前两句可知，正是因为网络的便利性，学生可以随时随地进行学习。故D项“在线学习给了学生随时随地学习的机会”承接上文，符合语境。 13．选C　第二段中提到了新加坡对在线学习的实践。空后一句“新加坡的八所学校尝试在课堂中使用新方法”说明了在线学习在不同国家的测试。 故C项“其他种类的在线学习正在世界各地进行测试”符合语境。 14．选B　根据空后一句可知，学生可以进行交流，共同完成项目。只有通过平台学生才能互相沟通交流。故B项“还有社交媒体平台”衔接下文，符合语境。且代词“them”指代B项中“social media platforms”。 15．选F　根据空前两句可知，教室里的机器人由老师操作，学生可以跟机器人进行互动。F项中的“it”指代前文中出现的“robot”。故F项“机器人可以在教室里走动，并和学生进行交流”承接上文，符合语境。 16．选E　根据后文“But one thing is for sure”可知，E项“没有人知道未来的教室是什么样的”与后文构成转折关系，符合语境。 $$
