A. 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. 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.4．閱讀理解 故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。故這項研究的意義在于它有助于證明保護狼的重要性。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy.”可知，拍攝紀錄片的目的是了解狼是如何對生態(tài)有益的。故選A。 （1）考查詞義猜測。Yellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.D.The fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.B.It shows the plex relationships between species.D.It proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.B.To record how Aaron Wirsing observed wolves.D.To introduce how wolves behave in the wild.B.D.C.B.
