What is a smart home? A smart home is a living space with advanced technology. It allows you to control different devices (装置) in your home by just tapping on your smartphone—whether you’re at home or on your way to work. Smart homes include smart devices and systems, such as locks, fridges, bulbs, washing machines...You may wonder how they work. Smart speakers are used to play music or according to your schedule, smart fridges might suggest recipes and even order foods you need. All these devices work together as one to make your home smarter and your life... What are the advantages of a smart home? Firstly, it is convenient. You can control your home with smartphones or voices. Secondly, it’s helpful to avoid the unnecessary waste, so it possibly benefits the environment. Thirdly, if anything unusual happens around your home, the systems may begin to work to protect you and your home immediately. However, it may not be for everybody. Smart devices are usually more expensive than traditional ones. What’s more, smart home systems depend on connectivity and data (数据) collection, so privacy concerns may arise. Each coin has two sides, and so do smart homes. It’s up to you to design your own living environment. 1. What can you use to control different devices in a smart home? A. A TV remote control. B. A computer keyboard. C. A smartphone. D. A traditional phone. 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of smart fridges? A. Playing music. B. Suggesting recipes. C. Ordering foods you need. D. Working with other devices. 3. What might happen when something unusual appears around your home in a smart home? A. The devices will stop working. B. The systems will work to protect you and your home at once. C. You will be told after several hours. D. You need to call the police by yourself. B In recent years, drones have become more and more popular. These small flying machines, which can be controlled by remote devices, are no longer just toys for hobbyists. They are now playing important roles in many parts of our daily lives, making our work easier and life more convenient. One of the most common uses of drones is in delivery services. Big companies like Amazon have tested drone delivery for a long time. Instead of sending delivery workers by bike or car, drones can carry small packages (such as books, snacks, and even medicine) to people’s homes quickly. This is especially helpful in areas with heavy traffic, as drones can fly over cars and reach the destination in less time. Drones also bring great benefits to agriculture. Farmers use drones to check their crops. Equipped with special cameras, drones can fly over large fields and take clear pictures. Farmers can then look at these pictures to see if their crops are healthy, if they need more water, or if there are pests. This helps farmers save a lot of time and energy compared to walking around the fields by themselves. Besides, drones are useful in search and rescue work. When someone gets lost in the mountains or a forest, rescuers can use drones to look for them. Drones can cover large areas quickly and send real-time videos back to rescuers. This makes it much easier for rescuers to find the lost person, especially in dangerous or hard-to-reach places. However, using drones also has some rules. For example, drones cannot fly near airports (because they may disturb planes) and must not be used to take photos of other people’s houses without permission. Following these rules helps keep everyone safe and protects people’s privacy. With their many useful functions, drones are sure to become even more important in our daily lives in the future. 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell readers how to make a drone. B. To introduce the uses of drones in daily life. C. To explain why drones are expensive. D. To describe the history of drones. 5. Which of the following is NOT a use of drones mentioned in the passage? A. Delivering small packages. B. Helping farmers check crops. C Teaching students in class. D. Assisting in search and rescue work. 6. What does the underlined word “pests” mean in Chinese? A. 杂草 B. 害虫 C. 农具 D. 肥料 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Drones can be used freely anywhere. B. Drones are only used by big companies now. C. Drones will be more useful in the future. D. Drones can replace farmers to grow crops. C In November, our school went to iFLYTEK for a study tour to get a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence (AI). The teacher first introduced some common knowledge and real-world uses of AI. For example, it beat humans in some difficult chess games. And ChatGPT could pass math exams with high scores. However, most students questioned the ability of AI. Some classmates even said, “I don’t think AI can do things better than humans in many ways.” But after visiting, we came to believe that AI may be able to do things that humans may not expect. Then we experienced iFLYTEK’s Starfire model. To test its uses, we suggested a Chinese writing topic about happiness that we had been thinking about for a long time. At first, Starfire gave us an ordinary article, so we weren’t happy with it. One student said, “This article has no standout things. It should be more detailed.” After many suggestions and tries, the AI’s final article was really good. And it won our applause (掌声). After that, the teacher introduced digital (数字的) humans to us, which amazed us most. The digital humans can not only talk naturally, but also use real human body language and make facial expressions. They do this with the help of special technology (技术) that reads humans’ faces and copies humans’ moves. And it makes them seem real. We all saw the power of AI in different fields, but we also realized that it still has a long way to go. As AI technology continues to develop, it will surely meet new difficulties. 8 Why did our school organize the study tour? A. To learn more about AI. B. To question the ability of AI. C. To pass the exams. D. To gain knowledge of AI. 9. What does the underlined word “standout” probably mean? A. Boring. B. Excellent. C. Short. D. Difficult. 10. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. AI needs further development. B. AI will take away humans’ jobs. C. Students believe that AI is perfect. D. Students will beat AI successfully. 11. What is the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. D Usually, people visit bookstores to buy books. But those who walk into Cotoha come to see its owner, Chen Binghong. ____12____ Some have lost their covers, some are missing a few pages, and some have pages that are falling out. Chen can always fix the books and make them whole again. ____13____ He says that books, like people, get sick and need help. In Taiwan, there are not many “doctors” like him, and most of them work for big libraries and museums. If big libraries and museums are hospitals, Chen’s bookstore is a health center. Big libraries and museums fix important old books with serious problems, and Chen helps people with books that have smaller problems. ____14____ Chen gave an example of a science book he once worked on. ____15____ Its owner still wanted to keep it because it was a gift from a teacher who helped him follow his dream of studying science. When he got his book back, he was very surprised at the new-old book. He felt he was brought back to the days with his teacher. Seeing the owner’s smile made Chen happy, because smiles like that are what his magic is for. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A. Chen sees himself as a doctor. B. They will be glad to hear this. C. It was very old and half of its cover was lost. D. They bring him books with different problems. E. However, the smaller size of the problems doesn’t mean Chen’s job is less important. 二、完形填空（共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。 China has changed a lot in the years since I first moved here.
