【正文】 gital teacher”可知，他們成為世界上第一批由智能機(jī)器人老師“教”的孩子。由此可知，特殊之處在于機(jī)器人老師教他們。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“This twoway interaction not only helps attract the students39。 attention, but also allows the program39。s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.”即“ 這種雙向互動(dòng)不僅有助于吸引學(xué)生的注意力，還允許程序的開(kāi)發(fā)人員監(jiān)視他們的參與度，并在需要時(shí)做出更改”，由此可得出，其優(yōu)勢(shì)在于需要時(shí)，可以做出變化。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, regardless of how popular it bees, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.”可知，Ravishankar認(rèn)為它不會(huì)在短期內(nèi)代替人類教育工作者。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world39。s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher”可知，從新學(xué)年開(kāi)始，新西蘭奧克蘭的小學(xué)生將成為世界上第一批被機(jī)器人老師教的孩子。之后文章就此展開(kāi)，由此可推斷出he World39。s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom最符合本文的標(biāo)題。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科教類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．犇犇閱讀理解 Threequarters of the world39。s coffee farms destroy forest habitat to grow coffee in the sun and typically use harmful pesticides (殺蟲(chóng)劑) and chemicals that poison the environment. When forests disappear, migratory (遷徙的) songbirds disappear, too. In order to deal with severe population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly certification. Bird Friendly coffees are shadegrown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under biodiverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet. Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional ine. Every cup of Bird Friendly coffee purchased rewards these farmers with a little more money for being good stewards of the environment and encourages them to continue conserving Bird Friendly habitat. Buying Bird Friendly supports the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center39。s conservation research aimed at understanding and protecting your feathered friends. You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup. Find a store or cafe near you, or better yet, have it shipped to your door when you order online.（1）What is the present situation of coffee farms?

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 bines 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
