In the near future, we will be living in smart homes, which will ensure our     1     (secure), save us energy and provide a more comfortable environment to live in. 

In the smart homes,     2     (use) advanced technology daily for automatic control of everything will be common. Our future home will use integrated sensors to tell when we leave home and then go into an energy⁃efficient mode all by     3     (it). We don’t have to think about turning     4     (switch) on and off ourselves. Our future home will prepare everything for us when we get home every evening. It is also amazing that all controls will respond     5     voice commands. 

Smart homes can help monitor our health. They will give us suggestions on a healthier diet and how     6     (sleep) better. They can also warn us early on if we have a critical illness and     7     (potential) save our lives. In addition, they can help to prevent serious damage from accidents. For instance, if a water pipe     8     (start) leaking, our smart home will detect it. 

This smart technology isn’t     9     daydream or fantasy any longer. Many new innovations have become a reality. Nevertheless, it will take a few years     10     most new homes start to use this new technology.

Have you ever forgotten     1     (lock) the door of your house? Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer? These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead     2     problems.

However, in the not-too-distant future, we will     3     (live) in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget.

You will no longer have to think about turning     4     (switch) on and off yourself. Your home will also learn your     5    (day) routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come on     6     instant you enter the door along with your favourite music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already     7     (prepare) for you.

In addition, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day. If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning to your phone. It will also give you suggestions on a     8     (health) diet and     9     to sleep better. Smart toilets will be keeping constant track of your health as well. They can warn you early on if there is something     10     (normal) or if you have a critical illness, such as cancer, and potentially save your life.

Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. Nevertheless, it will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology.

In the not too distant future, we will control just about everything     1    (automatic) in our smart homes. Your lights will come on     2    (instant) you enter the door along with your favourite music or TV programmes. These smart homes will provide us with a sense of     3    (secure) and provide a more comfortable environment to live in. They can warn you early on if there is something abnormal or if you have a critical illness and potentially save your life. This smart technology is not a fantasy and many innovations will be available.

No one can foretell the future of technology exactly, because no one can see the future. However, there are reasonable     1     (argue) based on the advances and trends in technology in the past. For example, it’s reasonable to predict that computers will continue to become more powerful, numerous and cheaper. Areas with huge potential,     2     are just beginning to be made use of today, like biotechnology, will continue to produce fruit.

Technology in general will probably continue to improve,     3     (create) both promises and risks. In     4     area of computers, someone might interact with hundreds of embedded microchips (嵌入式微芯片) throughout the home and the office. In the future, it will be many thousands.     5     some have called “ubiquitous computing” —— computers everywhere helping us with everything —— will be caused by increasing bandwidth and decreasing costs. Some viewers, especially Bill Gates, believe the next few decades     6     (characterize) by long-awaited revolutions in robotic technology. Other futurists see trends in automation technology leading to desktop factories that enable users     7     (make) objects from a host of simple     8     (origin) parts.

Apart from above areas, there are dozens if not hundreds of areas that will continue to advance technologically. One thing is     9     sure: the future will have better technology than the past did. But will we put     10     to better use? Only time and effort will tell.

In the future, we     1    (live) in smart homes that will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment. Smart homes will control just    2    everything in our home. They will use integrated     3    (sensor) to go into an energy-efficient mode all by itself when we leave home. In     4    (add), smart homes will be monitoring our health every day. If they find there is something    5    (normal) or you have a critical illness, they will give you a     6    (warn) early on and    7    (potential) save our life.Smart homes will also be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. If they find something wrong they will detect    8    and provide us with the relevant information for us    9    (fix) the problem. In a word, this smart technology is not a fantasy, and it will take some years    10    most new homes begin to use this new technology.

5G is developing, but most of us aren't really sure what it is or the reason     1     we need it. A big part of the reason is that 5G means more than one thing. If you ask different people, you     2    (provide) with different answers.

Experts believe that 4G is on     3     way out. In 2020, the U.K. is expected to use 5G. At present, it is unknown exactly what influence 5G will have on people's life but it is widely thought that 5G will     4     (definite) be faster than any generation of networks we have used previously.

Work will likely become much easier as 5G will allow quicker downloads and a better ability to work online even if there is no wi-fi connection. With the     5     (develop) of 5G, driverless cars will be able to communicate     6     other vehicles, which can reduce road accidents by about 10%, One of the most     7     (impress) things will be that people can see which seats on a train are accessible to     8     (they) when it arrives at the station.     9     (get) around the world will also be more convenient.

A number of     10     (company) are now working on bringing 5G to the market. It remains to be seen how much of the country 5G will cover and whether everyone will be able to benefit from it.
