These devices can be connected with each other through the Internet, allowing the user to control functions, such as security access (安全访问), lighting and temperature.     “Haitangxiaozhen”, an Internet user from Xuzhou, Jiangsu, shared his experience of setting up a smart home. He first bought the service of “intelligent networking”. It can be extended (延伸) to every room. He then can use an app to control various smart home devices.     He said that he usually got off work late, ★ . But now, cooked rice waits for him at home because he can turn on the rice cooker with his phone in advance. During summer, he usually turns on the air conditioner 30 minutes before getting home. He can also check the security camera at the door anytime through his phone in case he forgets whether he has locked the door or not. It’s very convenient for him.     During winter and summer holidays, when his child was alone at home, he used to worry about safety problems. For this reason, he specially installed a smart camera. With it, he can check if his child is OK at any time. His home also has a kitchen safety set, including smoke sensors (传感器), gas sensors and water sensors.     And these devices are really smart. They come with self-learning skills so they can learn the home owner’s timetables and make changes as needed.     All these conveniences are making smart homes more and more popular both in China and around the world.     “Smart homes are not yet perfect. They also bring problems. Every device has its own app, leading to a large number of apps for me to deal with.” another user said. 1．According to paragraph 2, “Haitangxiaozhen” _________.

After a long and busy day, we want to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology（科技）can turn any home into a nicer place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. The Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10. With X10,  household devices（设备）, such as lights and alarms, can communicate with each other by using radio waves. Of course, 5G networks have made smart homes much more wonderful than X10. Perhaps the most widely used smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant（语音激活助手）. Google Home and Amazon Alexa allow users to interact（互动）with nearly any device in their home simply by saying a few words. This is good for children and disabled people, as they can do things that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household devices can become “smart” as well. For example, according to HowStuffWorks, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items. Smart fridges can make dinner recipes（食谱）based on the food inside. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By turning off devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower electricity（电）you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources（资源）, which is good for the environment. 1．X10 technology allows household devices to use _______ to communicate .

But you don’t have to do anything except give orders to the kitchen robot. The robot will cook the food for you in a few minutes. Then it will bring it to you. ◆Did I turn off the oven? Did I close the window? Everyone may have a moment like that. But in the future, your home will check these for you. ◆In your home of the future, all of your devices (设备) can work together to make your life more convenient (方便的). When you turn on the lights in the morning, your windows will open at the same time. The lights will slowly turn off by themselves after the sun appears. Your home may have dangers. The hackers (黑客) could open your door and make your room messy through your phone or other devices. Your home will tell you about it but you can’t arrive in time.

If you look closely, you’ll find that our world is getting smarter all the time. For example, a smart home can be controlled by a group of connected devices (设备). These devices work together to control things like security (安全), temperature and entertainment (娱乐). The smart security system makes it easier for us to see each other and communicate (交流) through home cameras anywhere. Have you ever locked your keys inside your home? Not a problem! The smart security system can lock or unlock your door without a key. When it’s cold outside, most people want their homes to be warm. A smart temperature controller will remember what time people arrive home and make sure the house is warm and comfortable when they walk in. Smart speakers also make homes smarter. They listen for a special word or phrase and then follow the order that is given to them. A smart speaker might respond to “Please play my favorite music” or “Remind me to finish my homework later”.

Smart light The smart light bulb can change color. You can control it through an app. This light bulb looks quite common. But when you turn it on, you’ll find it is different. You can change the light’s color! A US company MIPOW made it. All you need to do is to turn on your phone and open an app. In the app, there is a wheel(颜色盘) of millions of colors for you to choose from. When you choose a color, it can quickly change the room’s atmosphere(气氛). There is a speaker(扬声器) inside the bulb, so it can play music from your cell phone’s music library. You can also use it as an alarm clock. In the morning, your favorite music and the light color will wake you up! Smart lock You don’t need to bring a key with this smart lock. Sometimes we lose keys. But if you use this smart lock, you don’t have to worry about it. You can use your phone to open the door in a few seconds. A Swiss designer Yves Behar made it. You’ll need an app and to get an account(账户). Then you can name your locks and control them through the app. The account will also tell you when a lock is open or locked. It’s very easy to use. Smart toilet In a smart home, there must be a smart toilet. After all, we need to use it so often. Japanese company Toto made one. The toilet doesn’t need an app or the internet. Instead, it has a smart home toilet sensor(感应器). When you come close, the toilet will know and it will raise or lower the seat by itself. The smart toilet also helps make the air fresh, so the restroom never smells bad. 1．How many new smart home products are there in the passage? A．2 B．3 C．4 D．6 2．The smart light bulb can’t ________.

Smart technology（科技）can turn any home into a nicer place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. The Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10. With X10,  household devices（设备）, such as lights and alarms, can communicate with each other by using radio waves. Of course, 5G networks have made smart homes much more wonderful than X10. Perhaps the most widely used smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant（语音激活助手）. Google Home and Amazon Alexa allow users to interact（互动）with nearly any device in their home simply by saying a few words. This is good for children and disabled people, as they can do things that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household devices can become “smart” as well. For example, according to HowStuffWorks, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items. Smart fridges can make dinner recipes（食谱）based on the food inside. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By turning off devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower electricity（电）you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources（资源）, which is good for the environment. 1．X10 technology allows household devices to use _______ to communicate . A．voices B．radio waves C．passages D．a 5G network 2．The writer shows that common household devices are smart by _______. A．listing numbers B．telling stories C．giving examples D．answering question 3．According to the passage, we can infer that _______. A．X10 technology will be invented in the future B．smart fridges can cook meals by itself C．children can interact with household devices at a smart home D．smart trash bins can help throw away the trash 4．Smart homes are better for the environment because _______. A．they use solar energy B．they have smart trash bins C．they can help us save energy D．they are built with special materials 5．The passage is about the topic of “_______”. A．smart technology B．natural resources C．famous websites D．information science 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了智能家居和智能科技。 1．细节理解题。根据“With X10, household devices（设备）, such as lights and alarms, can communicate with each other by using radio waves.”可知，X10科技能够让设备用无线电波沟通。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Common household devices can become “smart” as well.
