Most of us spend all day at school or
work. After a long and busy day, all we want
to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart
technology can turn any home into a nicer
place to live.
Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a
type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and
alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to
AVSytemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV, 视听的) and automation industry.
Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的)
than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in
their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people
with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to
How-To Geek.
Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart
trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items,
while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being
kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.
But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By
regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices
that you’re not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less
energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment.

A. using lights B. using voices
C. using radio waves D. connecting to a 5G network
2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Voice-activated assistants.

三．阅读理解
5G is literally making our lives faster.
You might feel annoyed when it takes too long to connect
to your online study system. But that could soon be a thing of
the past. Since China started 5G commercialization (商用) in
June 2019, many Chinese companies have started to provide
5G services. With growing investment (投资) and enthusiasm
(热情) among consumers and companies, China has kept its
role as a global 5G leader, said GSMA, an international association of mobile operators, in a report
released on March 17.
The report predicts that 5G will be used for almost half of the country’s mobile connections
with 460 million users by 2025. It will surpass (超过) other leading 5G markets such as Japan, South
Korea and the US.
China has done a lot to develop this technology. The Chinese government cut costs for
infrastructure construction (设施建设)and gave financial (经济的) support to the industry. About
130,000 5G base stations had been built by the end of 2019, according to Xinhua.
China built its first 5G industrial park in Shanghai on March 12. Forty-two companies agreed
to invest at the park’s opening ceremony (开幕式). It will focus on using 5G technology to develop
automobiles (汽车), smart manufacturing (智能生产) and data ports (通信端口).
China also leads the way in developing 5G-enabled devices (设备). Huawei Technologies Co
Ltd, for example, developed eight new 5G smartphones in 2019. It also made baseband chips (基带芯片) and tablets (平板电脑) with 5G technology.
“China’s 5G industry has been a key driver (引擎) of economic (经济的) growth, creating a
new generation (代) of digital consumers (数字消费者) ,” said Mats Granryd, director general of
GSMA

Humans and AI can work together to make art more interesting.
A special copyright (版权) case has recently drawn attention because it is related to (和......有关的) artificial intelligence (AI). A court (法庭) in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by
Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection. A website broke the law because it used the article
without permission (允许).
This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But
what does it indicate (表明)? Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?
Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned (提到)
above is mainly about data. Since AI is good at processing (处理) data, it is often used to write
financial (金融的) reports. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural
disasters (灾害), which mainly require (需要) basic facts such as “where” and “when”. As Forbes
wrote, instead of losing their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient (高效的) by
using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers.
AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields. For example, Wayne McGregor, a
British choreographer (编舞), is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a
powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements (动作). McGregor is
not worried that AI might replace human artists. “AI can’t judge (判断) the quality (质量) of the
choreography,” he said.
“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,” according to Forbes. Instead, we
should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of
before.
1. According to the copyright case related to AI, we know that _____.
A. AI can also break the law.
B. news stories cannot be written by AI.
C. articles written by AI also have copyright protection.D. AI can copy others’ articles without permission.
2. Which kind of stories might AI be good at writing?
A. Sci-fi stories. B. Disaster reports.
Poems.
3. Wayne McGregor agrees that _____.
A. AI helps him do creative work
B. AI can create new dances by itself
C. AI might replace human artists
D. AI can teach people how to dance
4. Which of the following might be the author’s view?
A. Many jobs will disappear due to AI.
B. We should make laws for AI.
C. AI is difficult to use.
D. We should work together with AI.
