Smart homes are becoming more and more popular. A smart home uses the Internet to connect different devices, like lights and fridges. These devices can work together to make our lives easier. Smart homes have many useful parts. The first is smart lighting. It can change brightness when the sun goes down. For example, your bedroom lights will turn on softly when you walk in at night. The second is smart security. Cameras and sensors watch your home. If a window opens suddenly, your phone will get an alert. Third, there are smart appliances. You can use your phone to start the washing machine while you are at school. Smart homes also help save energy. The smart temperature control turns off the air conditioner when nobody is home. This cuts down on electricity bills. What’s more, voice assistants like Siri can control these devices. You can say “Turn on the lights” and they will do it right away! With technology growing, smart homes will be everywhere soon. They are not just cool toys—they are helpful friends for our daily lives. 【中文翻译】 我们的生活新帮手 在当今世界，科技发展日新月异。智能家居正变得越来越受欢迎。智能家居利用互联网连接灯光、冰箱等各种设备，这些设备可以协同工作，让我们的生活更轻松。 智能家居有许多实用的组成部分。第一是智能照明，它能在太阳下山时调节亮度。比如，你晚上走进家门时，卧室的灯会柔和地亮起。第二是智能安防，摄像头和传感器会监控家中情况。如果窗户突然打开，你的手机会收到警报。第三是智能家电，你在学校时就可以用手机启动洗衣机。 智能家居还能帮助节约能源。智能温控系统会在没人在家时关闭空调，这能减少电费支出。此外，像 Siri 这样的语音助手可以控制这些设备，你只需说 “打开灯”，它们就会立刻照做！ 随着科技的发展，智能家居很快会遍布各地。它们不只是酷炫的玩具，更是我们日常生活中得力的朋友。 【长难句分析】 1.原句：A smart home uses the Internet to connect different devices, like lights and fridges. 翻译：智能家居利用互联网连接灯光、冰箱等各种设备。 分析：主句为主谓宾结构（A smart home [主语] uses [谓语] the Internet [宾语]）；“to connect different devices” 是动词不定式作目的状语，说明 “使用互联网” 的目的；“like lights and fridges” 是插入语，用于举例说明 “devices”。 2.原句：If a window opens suddenly, your phone will get an alert. 翻译：如果窗户突然打开，你的手机会收到警报。 分析：本句是含条件状语从句的复合句。“If a window opens suddenly” 是条件状语从句（if 引导，表 “假设”），“your phone will get an alert” 是主句；从句用一般现在时（opens），主句用一般将来时（will get），符合 “主将从现” 的语法规则。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 汉语翻译 词性 发音（英/美） smart 智能的；聪明的 adj. /smɑːt/ /smɑːrt/ connect 连接 v. /kəˈnekt/ /kəˈnekt/ device 设备 n. /dɪˈvaɪs/ /dɪˈvaɪs/ brightness 亮度 n. /ˈbraɪtnəs/ /ˈbraɪtnəs/ security 安全；安防 n. /sɪˈkjʊərəti/ /səˈkjʊrəti/ sensor 传感器 n. /ˈsensə(r)/ /ˈsensər/ alert 警报 n. /əˈlɜːt/ /əˈlɜːrt/ appliance 器具；家电 n. /əˈplaɪəns/ /əˈplaɪəns/ energy 能源 n. /ˈenədʒi/ /ˈenərdʒi/ control 控制 v./n. /kənˈtrəʊl/ /kənˈtroʊl/ voice 声音；语音 n. /vɔɪs/ /vɔɪs/ assistant 助手 n. /əˈsɪstənt/ /əˈsɪstənt/ technology 科技 n. /tekˈnɒlədʒi/ /tekˈnɑːlədʒi/ 实战演练 一、语法选择 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。 As we all know, the Internet is becoming more and more important in 1 daily life.

How can we ensure it’s protected? High School Sophie: As a student, I’ve seen how AI can make subjects like science more engaging with interactive simulations and assessments. It obviously makes learning more fun than 3 classes. Tech Ethicist Raj: We need to 4 think about AI’s implications (影响), such as data privacy. Making sure that AI’s advantages don’t come with unacceptable costs is important. AI Developer Jen: Using AI in education needs careful planning and strong security measures. It should 5 teachers, not take their place of them. Teacher Yuanyuan: AI helps students with various needs by providing tools like voice-to-text.

There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (互动) in their lessons. What do you think? Are AI teachers a good idea? Yes—AI can improve learningAI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (差距) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to (关注) each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class. Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support (支持) teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK doesn’t have enough middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap? No—students will lose outA human teacher has a lot of knowledge (知识), experience and ideas, while AI only has the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas? In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults to talk to when they are worried about something. 1．Where did students learn maths through AI last year? 2．On what device (设备) did students use AI programs for learning? 3．What can AI do very quickly according to the “Yes” side? 4．What does a human teacher have that AI does not have? 5．After reading the text, do you think AI teachers are a good idea? You must: ①Choose one side: Good or Bad. ②Use ONE reason from the text to explain why. 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词（有提示词的，填入所给单词的正确形式）。 Many humans’ great achievements are in science and technology.

Think of all the 5 (please) arts bring us. But is Mickey Mouse as important as going to space? 6 (final), we must not forget humans’ early achievements.

What are humans’ greatest achievements? For the question, we need 9 (decide) what we mean by “great”. Is it something 10 (连词) makes us happy or saves lives?

There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (互动) in their lessons. What do you think? Are AI teachers a good idea? Yes—AI can improve learningAI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (差距) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to (关注) each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class. Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support (支持) teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK doesn’t have enough middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap? No—students will lose outA human teacher has a lot of knowledge (知识), experience and ideas, while AI only has the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas? In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults to talk to when they are worried about something. 1．Where did students learn maths through AI last year? 2．On what device (设备) did students use AI programs for learning? 3．What can AI do very quickly according to the “Yes” side? 4．What does a human teacher have that AI does not have? 5．After reading the text, do you think AI teachers are a good idea? You must: ①Choose one side: Good or Bad. ②Use ONE reason from the text to explain why. 【答案】1．In London. 2．On students’ computers. 3．Work out difficult problems. 4．Knowledge, experience, and ideas. 5．Possible Answer 1: Yes, I think AI teachers are a good idea. AI can pay attention to each student. Possible Answer 2: I think AI teachers are a bad idea. Because AI can’t understand feelings. 【导语】本文围绕“AI教师是否是个好主意”展开讨论：去年伦敦有20名学生通过AI学习数学，而非人类教师。文章分别从支持和反对两个角度阐述观点，支持方认为AI能快速解决难题、关注每个学生并弥补教师缺口；反对方则指出人类教师拥有知识、经验和创意，能理解学生情感，而AI无法替代师生关系。 1．根据“Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers.”可知，学生在伦敦通过AI学习数学。故填In London. 2．根据“there was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers.”可知，学生在电脑上使用AI程序学习。故填On students’ computers. 3．根据“Yes—AI can improve learning”部分“AI can work out difficult problems very quickly.”可知，AI能快速解决难题。故填Work out difficult problems. 4．根据“No—students will lose out”部分“A human teacher has a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas, while AI only has the information it learns.”可知，人类教师拥有知识、经验和想法，而AI没有。故填Knowledge, experience and ideas. 5．开放性试题。Possible Answer 1: Yes, I think AI teachers are a good idea. AI can pay attention to each student. Possible Answer 2: I think AI teachers are a bad idea. Because AI can’t understand feelings.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词（有提示词的，填入所给单词的正确形式）。 Many humans’ great achievements are in science and technology.
