本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与自我”的主题语境。罗伯特和伊丽莎白相识相爱，结婚后，罗伯特患上了重病。在新的智能家电的帮助下，罗伯特写的小说出版了，他的病情也得到了好转。
1. C 选项：determined下定决心；intended打算；ceased停止；dared胆敢。由上文的“The instant Robert met Elizabeth, he showed a preference for her at first sight.”可知，罗伯特对伊丽莎白一见倾心，从未“停止(ceased)”过与她的联系。
2. A 选项：essays文章；theories理论；charts图表；substances物质。上文提到罗伯特对伊丽莎白一见倾心，又由本句“Besides, he wrote many 2 relevant to her, emphasizing his love.”和常识可知，他还写了很多关于她的“文章(essays)”，来强调他的爱意。
3. B 选项：distant遥远的；abnormal异常的；extraordinary不一般的；efficient有效的。由下文的“In the hospital, the doctor said he had a(n) 4 illness”可知，在医院里，医生说他得了病，由此可推知他发现他的身体在毫无征兆的情况下变得“异常(abnormal)”。
4. D 选项：integrated各部分密切协调的，综合的；distinct明显的；liquid液体的；critical严重的。由本句“In the hospital, the doctor said he had a(n) 4 illness and this cancer could be cured if 5 early on.”和常识可知，在医院里，医生告诉他们他得了“严重的(critical)”病，如果及早“发现(detected)”，这种癌症是可以治愈的。
5. C 选项：encountered遇见；defeated打败；detected发现；ignored忽视。见上题解析。
6. A 选项：predicted预言；bet打赌；argued辩论；desired期望。由上文的“In the hospital, the doctor said he had a(n) 4 illness”以及本句“In this sense, Robert 6 he would not live much longer.”可知，在医院里，医生告知他得了重病，提出假设如果早发现可以治愈，即现在发现已不是早期，故从这个意义上来讲，罗伯特“预言(predicted)”自己活不了多久。
7. B 选项：apparently显然；constantly不断地；accurately精确地；absolutely完全地。由上文的“In this sense, Robert 6 he would not live much longer.”以及本句的Nevertheless表示转折可知，因罗伯特预言自己活不了多久，然而妻子伊丽莎白“不断地(constantly)”说服他去接受现实而不是抵制它。
8. D 选项：maintained维持；spotted发现；judged评判；advocated主张。由下文的“which Robert didn’t oppose”可知，她“主张(advocated)”他们去过一个平和的乡村生活，罗伯特并不反对。
9. C 选项：luxury奢华；crime犯罪；absence缺席；objective目标，目的。由上文的“because she had to carry on her career”可知，伊丽莎白因为必须要继续干她的事业，所以她会“缺席(absence)”不在家。
10. A 选项：switch off关(电灯、机器等)；take off起飞；give off发出光、热、气味等；go off停止，运转，变质。由本句“Robert could use remote innovative controls to 10 the lights and air conditioners.”可知，罗伯特可以通过人工智能使用创新遥控来“关闭(switch off)”灯光和空调，并自动阻止其着火。
11. D 选项：property性质，财产；patent专利；procedure程度，步骤，手续；leak泄漏。由本句“It can even forecast potential electrical wiring 11 and automatically stop it from catching fire.”可知，智能家居甚至可以预测潜在的电线“泄漏(leak)”，并自动阻止其着火。
12. B 选项：founding创建，建立；writing写；boiling(使)沸腾，煮开；postponing延迟，延期。由空后的“a novel”以及下文的“With the novel published and his condition improved”可知，由于没有事情做，罗伯特忙于“写(writing)”一本小说。
13. A 选项：combined(使)结合；evaluated评价；inferred推断；limited限制。上文提到他在写一本小说，又由本句“It 13 his life and his fantasies.”可知，他“结合了(combined)”他的生活和幻想。
14. C 选项：security安全；clone克隆；prospect前景；structure结构，体系。由上文的“Robert occupied himself 12 a novel.”以及空前的“Hence, this daily routine mode made Robert confident of his”可知，罗伯特忙于写一本小说，因此，这种日常生活模式使罗伯特对自己的“前景(prospect)”充满信心。
15. B 选项：scared害怕的；relieved安心的；shocked震惊的；worried担心的。由空前的“It took him one year to finish his novel. With the novel published and his condition improved”可知，这本小说花了他一年的时间，表明罗伯特按照伊丽莎白所说接受现实，继续生活。随着这本小说的出版和他的病情的好转，伊丽莎白最终“安心(relieved)”了。

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 5________ (day) routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening.

health
1. comfortable 考查词性转换。修饰名词environment应用形容词。
2. the 考查冠词。因in the future为固定搭配，意为“在未来”。
3. to tell 考查非谓语动词。因句中已有谓语will use，动词tell应为非谓语动词；表示目的，填动词不定式to tell。
4. itself 考查代词。因by oneself是固定搭配，意为“独自地；单独地”。
5. daily 考查词性转换。修饰名词routine应用形容词。
6. to 考查介词。因respond to…是固定搭配，意为“对……做出回应”。
7. what 考查连词。引导宾语从句，并在从句中作动词want的宾语，故填what。
8. health 考查词性转换。在形容词性物主代词后应填名词。
9. is 考查动词的时态。由下句谓语动词的时态可知，用一般现在时；且主语This smart technology是单数名词，故用is。
10. innovations 考查名词单复数。因前面有Many of these修饰，且谓语动词是are，故用复数形式。
