) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.dementia (痴呆    The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to
determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily
activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own,
provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like
their medication or a snack in the kitchen.RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a
WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected, said
Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science.    Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day
activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in
the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050,
researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the
financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.    RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment.
They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates
how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.    While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been
promising, Minor said. The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a
group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other

A1）【答案】 （ B2（） C）3（．
B  ）（4【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发 的机器人，可以帮助那些痴呆或有身体缺陷的老年人在家里过上自立的生活。 （1）考查细节理解。根据章第二段中的“ The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses
sensors （传感器）equipped in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what
they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities”可知机器人活动支持系统（RAS）使用WSU智能家居中配备的传感器（传感器）来确定其居民在哪里，他们在做什 。A么以及何时需要日常活动的帮助，说明传感器起到了重大的作用，故选 （2）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The next step in the research will be to test RAS'
performance…”可知，这台机器人的表现还要经过进一步的测，说明正在测试阶段，故选 。B （3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“ While we are still in an early stage of development,
our initial results with RAS have been promising”可知，Minor对这款机器人的未来发展充满信 。心、非常乐观，故选C （4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人。再根据最后一段中的“The next step in the research will be to test RAS'
。
Bperformance ”可知，机器人目前还在华盛顿州立大学的智能屋里进行测试，故选 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文进行逻辑推理，概括归纳，从而选出正 确答案。
阅读理解．firefighter2    Melinda Skaar wasn't expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the
First Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the
phone rang. Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting, There is a fire! Get out of there. Skaar
didn't panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62
floors and her desk was on the 37th floor. Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who
also stayed late to work. But when they got out to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black
smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her
jacket to keep the smoke out.    Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That
