In the near future, we     1     (live) in smart homes with intelligent controls and regular health checks. We will no longer worry about lights on or not when we leave home.     2     instant we enter the door, the lights will come on. If there is something     3     (normal), we can be warned on the phone to prevent more disasters. There’s no doubt that smart homes make life     4     (easy). Nevertheless, it will take some years     5     most new homes begin to use this new technology.

Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house or switch off the TV? These kinds of things often happen to us,    1    can lead to problems. However, in the near future, we    2    (live) in smart homes that will lock the door and switch off the TV    3    (automatic). These smart homes will provide us with a    4    (comfortable) environment. 

Your home will learn your daily routine and    5    (preference), so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. For example, lights will come on    6    (instant) you enter the door along with your favourite music. All controls will respond to voice commands, so you just say    7    you want and the home system will obey. Besides, it will give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how    8    (sleep) better. 

This smart technology is not     9    fantasy. Nevertheless, it will take some years    10    most new homes begin to use it.

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.

The Future Life on Mars

Compared with the life we     1    (live) on the earth now, the future life on Mars will be     2    (total) different.

Firstly, without pollution on Mars, people will be able to drink cleaner water     3     breathe fresher air, so they will be     4    (health). The food on Mars will be different     5     our food now. People will just take     6    (pill) and drink man-made juice instead of eating bread and meat. Secondly, people will travel back to the earth or to other planets for sightseeing by spaceship. Additionally, there will be no     7    (fix) school and classrooms. Children will just fly to the classroom in the school spaceships. And people won’t work in factories or companies. They can stay at home,     8    (work) with computers. People believe       9    Mars can support life in the future. Nevertheless,     10     will take some years before these dreams come true.

In the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes. These smart homes will ensure our     1     (secure), save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in. We will be using advanced technology every day — for    2     (automation) control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated sensors     3     (tell) when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by    4     (it). Your home will also learn your daily routine and     5     (prefer), so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. All controls will respond     6     voice commands, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud     7     you want and the home system will obey. In addition, the smart home     8     (programme) to monitor your health every day. Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. If there is     9     short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information. This way, you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded     10     catches fire.

The passage is about a letter    1     (write) by LiQiang who is taking    2    the prize that he won last year. At first he was nervous and     3     (certain) about the journey. However, with WangPing’s guiding, LiQiang was transported into the future     4    (safe). Hit by a lack of fresh air, his head ached and he tried to make the necessary adjustment to this new situation. Soon he was back     5    his feet again and flew after WangPing in a hovering carriage     6    (drive) by computer. Arriving at WangPing’s house, LiQiang was shown into    7    large room made of trees,     8    leaves provided the room with oxygen.     9    (exhaust), LiQiang slid into bed and only then     10    he fall fast asleep.

Get ready and you will enjoy a space travel. The sky outside your spacecraft is     1    (most)black. The planet you’re looking for is 4.65 billion miles away. Almost no light     2     (reach) it. Suddenly you see a glow (暗光) in the     3     (distant). As you approach, it becomes bigger and stranger. The light     4       (shine) ahead of you is bright pink. Getting closer, you realize     5     is giving off this glow. It’s a magenta (紫红色的) planet!

    6     (name) GJ 504b, the planet is made of pink gas. It’s similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planet in our own solar system. But GJ 504b is four times more massive. At 460°F, it’s the temperature of a hot oven, and it’s the planet’s intense heat that causes it     7     (glow).

You stop your spacecraft to take     8     close look. The sky turns pink as you enter GJ 504b’s atmosphere. Since GJ 504b is made of gas, it has no solid surface. So you can fly right inside the planet, in which the gas envelops you like a thick fog. As you go     9     (deep), the gas begins to get darker. If you keep going down, your spacecraft could melt from the heat. You get away from this pink world and back     10    the darkness of outer space.

In the near future, we will be living in smart homes, which will ensure our    1    (safe), 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 will find our dinner already    4    ( prepare) without turning switchs on and off ourselves. It is also amazing    5    all controls will respond to voice commands.

Smart homes can help to keep serious damage from    6    (accident). For instance, if a water pipe    7    (start) leaking, our smart home will detect it. In addition, they can help monitor our health. They can also warn us early on if we have a critical sickness and    8    (potential) save our lives.

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.
