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.5．閱讀理解 故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“ It is an objective marker of the sort of reduced brain function that goes along with expected, glucose uptake was reduced in those with AD. ”這是一個(gè)患有老年癡呆癥降低了腦功能的客觀標(biāo)志。s disease（AD） ”承認(rèn)自己的健忘也許是一個(gè)很好的跡象，至少?gòu)哪慊祭夏臧V呆癥,的可能性來看，可知選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。在三十多歲的時(shí)候，我們開玩笑地稱它為“大腦凍結(jié)”，在四十多歲的時(shí)候，我們把它當(dāng)作“老年時(shí)期”來嘲笑，然后繼續(xù)講這些老年笑話。s name or a handsome actor who starred in a famous movie.

A.s disease.D.The memory of the young is better than the old.C. The researchers used existing data for 1, 062 people between the ages of 55 and 90 that had been recorded over a 12year period. The data included brain scans, which the researchers used to look for visual signs of reduced glucose uptake（葡萄糖吸收）.It is an objective marker of the sort of reduced brain function that goes along with expected, glucose uptake was reduced in those with AD. What the researchers also discovered was that glucose uptake was reduced in those with mild cognitive damage who also showed evidence of reduced illness awareness. Finally, the researchers found that those who had reduced illness awareness were more likely to develop AD than those without.（1）What can be implied from paragraph 1？ A. The researchers began with the assumption that one mon feature of Alzheimer39。s not forgetfulness but not being aware that we39。t worry.
