问题     Current advances in home automation offer homeowners comfort, convenience, security and energy saving and a lot of impressive technology. With a fully automated home, you’d be able to pick up your phone, call your house and instruct it to disarm the security system, start the spa and turn up the lights. The interest in home automation is not born of a desire to create a space-age home, but to make a house safe, energy-efficient and more comfortable.
    Take security for example. If there is a fire, an automated house will detect it, turn off the gas, close the dampers in the ventilation system, turn on the lights, unlock the doors, set off an alarm and call the fire department. More advanced systems might even tell you where the fire is, and through which room you should escape.
    With Home Manager, one of several automation systems on the market, you can warm up the master bedroom, kitchen and bathroom in the morning before alarm goes off. Or you can program it to keep the nursery at a constant temperature. In midsummer, you can even instruct sensors in the house to open skylights, turn on ceiling fans, and close the draperies when the house reaches a certain temperature. All of these functions can be controlled while in the house or remotely from a phone or computer.
    In addition, home automation offers tremendous lifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people. For those who cannot push a button or flip a switch, a voice command can be used to activate security cameras, turn up the stereo volume or drop the room temperature a few degrees. The click of an infrared remote control could turn on the oven, close the blinds or open the door.
Which of the following statements is NOT true about home automation?
选项 A、Home automation can also be controlled within certain distance.
B、Home automation is one of the automation systems available now.
C、The main aim of home automation is to create a very modern and advanced home.
D、Home automation can also offer lifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people.
答案C
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“All of these functions can be controlled while in the house or remotely from a phone or computer. ”可知，这些所有的功能都可以在家里或通过电话、电脑远程控制，即家庭自动化也可以在一定的距离内得以控制，因此A项正确；根据文章第三段第一句“With Home Manager, one of several automation systems on the market…”可知，家庭自动化是目前可用的自动化系统之一，故B项正确：根据文章第一段最后一句“The interest in home automation is not born of a desire to create a space-age home, but to make a house safe, energy-efficient and more comfortable. ”可知，人们对家庭自动化的兴趣并不是出于创造现代化和先进的家的愿望，而是想让房子变得安全、节能和舒适，因此C项错误；根据文章最后一段第一句“In addition, home automation offers tremendous lifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people. ”可知，家庭自动化极大地改善了老年人和残疾人的生活方式，因此D项正确。故选C。
