智能家居A smart home is a natural step forward from traditional homes—it's better, but not totally different. Smart home technology, called home automation (自动化), makes homes safer and more comfortable. It's easier to use and it uses less energy. Nowadays, nearly every part of life has seen the introduction of smart home devices (装置). People can control them easily, usually through a phone app.
Smart home systems are more than just remote (远程的) control or easy adjustment. For example, smart lighting systems are clever—they can tell if someone is in the room and change how bright they are. Smart lights can also change their brightness based on how much daylight the room can get, which helps save electricity (电力).
Smart temperature controllers come with Wi-Fi. You can see how hot or cold your house is, and even change it when you're not home. They slowly learn your family's habits and change the temperature by themselves, making the house comfortable and energy-saving. They also tell you how much electricity you used and remind you to change filters (过滤器).
Smart door locks and garage (车库) door openers allow the owners of the house to decide whether to let visitors in. Smart door locks can tell if you're almost home and open for you by themselves—it's really convenient!
Smart security devices like doorbells and cameras let you watch your home when you're out. Smart motion sensors can tell the difference between family members, visitors, pets, and thieves. If something goes wrong, they call the police to keep your home safe.
Smart pet and garden tools do daily jobs for you. Special feeders give pets food on time, so they're never hungry. Timers that connect to the internet water plants and grasslands, keeping them healthy without much work.

答案：V. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些智能家居科技。
1. easily 解析:根据原文“People can control them easily, usually through a phone app.”,可知智能家居技术可以被轻松使用,故填 easily。
2. Examples 解析:表格下方列举了各类智能家居技术,结合原文“For example”,可知此处指智能家居技术的例子,且首字母大写,故填 Examples。
3. day/daytime 解析:根据原文“Smart lights can also change their brightness based on how much daylight the room can get”,可知白天房间明亮时,智能灯会调整亮度,故填 day/daytime。
4. nobody 解析:根据原文“they can tell if someone is in the room and change how bright they are”,可推断没人在房间时灯不会很亮,故填 nobody。
5. temperature 解析:根据原文“Smart temperature controllers come with Wi-Fi. You can see how hot or cold your house is, and even change it when you're not home.”,“how hot or cold”即温度,故填 temperature。
6. comfortable 解析:根据原文“making the house comfortable and energy - saving”,可知温控器能让人感觉舒适,故填 comfortable。

一题多解 原文中的“something goes wrong”是一个相对宽泛的概念,可以理解为“出问题”、“出事”、“有不好的情况”、“有危险”等。因此,只要填入的形容词能合理概括“不好的、需要报警的”情况,在语义上都是可以接受的。
9. safety 解析:根据原文“keep your home safe”,safe 的名词形式为 safety,此处表示“确保家的安全”,故填 safety。
10. care 解析:“take care of”为固定搭配,意为“照顾”,根据“help you take good... of your pets and gardens”,故填 care。
