Ⅲ 阅读理解(每小题2.5分,满分10分)
With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient.
After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “Internet of Things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents.
But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride.
Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company.
“Smart cities will also allow us to save resources,” said Mrinalini Ingram.“By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.”
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long before even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施).
( )1.What calls for the development of smart cities?
A.The rapid progress in 5G networks.
B.The marked increase in world population.
C.The growing number of residents living in cities.
D.The major concern over the safety of living in cities.
( )2.How does the author explain the way smart cities work?
A.By making a contrast.
B.By giving examples.
C.By listing figures.
D.By telling a story.
( )3.What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities?
A.Air pollution will be stopped in its track.
B.People will be better aware of environmental protection.
C.People will be able to make the most of our environment at will.
D.Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used.
( )4.What is the author’s attitude towards smart cities?
A.Indifferent. B.Critical.
C.Positive. D.Doubtful.
Ⅳ 阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
People are always living with technology nowadays. Here comes a smart home, which is controlled by the touch of a button. 1. This acts like a remote control to activate household systems and monitor inside temperatures. If done successfully, a smart home system will be integrated so smoothly that a household will appear to run itself.
Home automation is designed to introduce efficiency to a home. 2. An efficient smart home uses sensors to prevent over-watering outdoor gardens and control room temperatures, all of which can reduce expenses. In addition to cost savings, home automation often provides a sense of security to homeowners.
Families with children or elderly adults in the home may be reassured by some safeguards in smart home security, like fire alarms that alert the appropriate agencies in the event of a problem. Lighting activation runs on timers, which can be a lifesaver if an oven is left on when someone leaves the home. 3.
Home automation is not just for safety, however. 4. With a centralized control unit, a person does not have to leave the couch to turn down the blinds or even order groceries, which can be automated.
5. Such a home becomes dependent on technology for routine tasks. If something goes wrong with the central automation unit, it is not just one appliance at risk as malfunctions can disrupt systems that are vital to running a home. As a result, for all people, a home can become a place of technical faults that repeatedly require repair.
A.Smart devices can talk to each other.
B.It achieves this by saving homeowners time and money.
C.There are some drawbacks with an automated home system.
D.It can also provide convenience for people living in the home.
E.Through home automation, an entire house can be connected via a smart controller.
F.Besides protecting people, it also offers security for expensive items inside a residence.
G.Home automation enables you to operate your equipment with the sound of your voice.

Ⅳ.文章大意
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了智能家居的工作方式、好处及存在的弊端。
1.E 根据上文“People are always living with technology nowadays. Here comes a smart home, which is controlled by the touch of a button.”以及后文“This acts like a remote control to activate household systems and monitor inside temperatures. If done successfully, a smart home system will be integrated so smoothly that a household will appear to run itself.”可知,本段向读者介绍智能家居,后文提到了一个智能家居系统将被顺利集成,本句是在说明家庭自动化系统将房子连接起来的方式。由此可知,E项“Through home automation, an entire house can be connected via a smart controller.”(通过家庭自动化,整个房子可以通过智能控制器连接起来。)符合语境。故选E项。
2.B 根据上文“Home automation is designed to introduce efficiency to a home.”及下文“An efficient smart home uses sensors to prevent over-watering outdoor gardens and control room temperatures, all of which can reduce expenses. In addition to cost savings, home automation often provides a sense of security to homeowners.”可知,本段介绍智能家居的效能,后文提到了节省成本,由此推测本句要引出后文,是在说明家庭自动化可以省钱。由此可知,B项“It achieves this by saving homeowners time and money.”(它通过节省房主的时间和金钱来实现这一点。)承上启下,符合语境,this指代上文introduce efficiency to a home;saving homeowners time and money呼应下文reduce expenses。故选B项。

Lighting activation runs on timers, which can be a lifesaver if an oven is left on when someone leaves the home.”可知,上文讲了智能家居可以解决有老人或小孩的家庭的安全问题。由此可知,F项“Besides protecting people, it also offers security for expensive items inside a residence.”(除了保护人们,它还为住宅内的贵重物品提供安全保护。)又补充了智能家居对财产的保护,还是安全问题,符合语境。故选F项。
