B It's 6 A.M.，and the alarm clock is ringing earlier than usual.It's not a malfunction（故障）：the smart clock scanned your schedule and adjusted because you've got that big presentation first thing in the morning.The electric car is ready to go,charged by the solar panels on your roof.When you get home later,there's an unexpected package waiting.You open it to find cold medicine.Turns out,health sensors embedded（嵌入） in your bathroom detected signs of an upcoming illness and placed an order automatically. That,at least,is the ideal design of the smart home that exists 10 years out.But a decade from now,we'll dip into the Internet of Things （IoT） totally. A range of technological developments will drive smart-home technology well beyond what's available on store shelves today.Innovations in AI stand to change almost everything in our lives.You might already be using some kind of AI-powered voice-assistant device to get the latest news or weather forecast every morning.IoT company Crestron,for example,is working on software that follows a person's habits,like which music they want to hear in the morning or which lights they want to be on at a certain time of day.Then,once it gets the hang of a user's preferences,it automatically plays just the right playlists or makes the lights less bright before bedtime. All this learning that the smart home of the future will be doing may raise privacy concerns.In 2016，hackers took over hundreds of thousands of secure IoT devices,then used them to send fake Internet traffic,the incident broke Internet connections for a moment throughout parts of North America and Europe.A bill put forth by Virginia Senator Mark Warner would push the government to set up minimum security requirements for smart devices used by federal agencies；such requirements could eventually become standard for the industry at large. You're more likely than not to end up in a connected home one day,whether you mean to or not.Ultimately,people will come to see smart-home technology as essential as electricity,refrigeration or air- conditioning.People will rely on it. 9. What is the purpose of paragraph 1？ ______ A. To reveal people's busy life in ten years. B. To display pollution- free homes in ten years. C. To show how people will cure illness in the future. D. To describe how smart the home can be in the future. 10. What can AI do in the future？ ______ A. Push your preferences towards green living. B. Play your favorite songs with voice control. C. Provide the latest news and weather automatically. D. Make home devices function according to your habits. 11. What does the author want to tell us by the event in 2016？ ______ A. The IoT devices were of low quality. B. The government made a law because of it. C. Security problems from smart devices were urgent. D. Hackers were common in North America and Europe. 12. What does the author think about the smart home in the future？ ______ A. It's electrical and reliable. B. It's attractive and necessary. C. It will not need much designing. D. It will not be affected by evil hackers. C Bees see,bees do.At least that's the conclusion of research published earlier this month in the journal PLOS Biology,showing that bumblebees learn to solve problems by watching each other. In the first study of its kind in insects,scientists constructed experiments that challenged bees to pull strings in order to access rewards of nectar （花蜜） . The scientists hoped their study would throw light on a bigger picture： how social learning spreads through a population. In the study,Lars Chittka from Queen Mary University of London and his team made artificial flowers and filled them with artificial nectar made of sugar water.They put the flowers under a clear type of plastic and attached a string. Then they added bees.While most of the insects failed to reach the nectar,a few eventually figured out how to access it,by pulling the string. The team discovered that they could greatly increase the success rate of the bees by first placing them inside a transparent（透明的）box where they could observe an experienced bee pull the string. Then,when the boxed bees were released,they often knew what to do and successfully pulled the string to obtain nectar. Next,the researchers added a bee that was experienced in string pulling to each of three new groups that had never seen the experiment before.Within a short time,about half of all those bees were soon pulling the strings.That result suggests the learned behavior could spread from bee to bee,similar to the way cultural ideas spread in other animals,including people. The experiment suggests that social learning may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than people previously thought. 13. What happened after the bee pulled the string？ ______ A. It got nectar. B. It found water. C. It joined others. D. It saw flowers. 14. What did the boxed bees do after being set free？ ______ A. They flew back to the box. B. They flew directly to the rewards. C. They imitated（模仿）the experienced bee. D. They watched the experienced bee work. 15. Why was an experienced bee added to new bee groups？ ______ A. To
