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 分析選項可知C項符合題意，故選C。本文主要對座頭鯨外形特點、體重、顏色，以及其如何繁殖喂養(yǎng)等生活習(xí)性等作了介紹，并呼吁大家保護(hù)意識?？芍^鯨需要在暖和的地方繁殖，故選A?？芍^鯨在熱帶地區(qū)繁殖。 （2）考查推理判斷。 such patterns enable individual recognition可知，座頭鯨體色由深棕色至黑色，腳蹼、身體底部和尾鰭上通常是大面積的白色；這樣的圖案使單個的座頭鯨很容易被識別。根據(jù)第四個小點后的一段Body color is dark brown to black。help distinguish humpbacks from other similar species【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了座頭鯨外形特點、體重、顏色，以及其如何繁殖、喂養(yǎng)等生活習(xí)性等，并呼吁大家保護(hù)它。introduce how humpbacks migrate through some dangerous watersC. .

A.Their bumpy tubercles and blowholes are on both sides of head.（2）Which of the following can be inferred from this article39。They are large and likely to grow longer than 15 metres.C. Protection status: Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about humpback whales? A.hump39。 some nonbreeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groovethroated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde39。 Bushy blow, occasionally Vshaped often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes。 Bumpy tubercles on top of head variable dorsal fin size and shape。 Stocky, slowmoving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了最近的一項研究，一種新的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻可以預(yù)防艾滋病病毒的感染。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科學(xué)研究小組認(rèn)為要進(jìn)一步的測試，以確保基因工程過程不會產(chǎn)生任何可能對人類有害的額外化學(xué)物質(zhì)。故選D。根據(jù)第五段中的“They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最簡單、最劃算的使用方法是將大米制成面霜涂在皮膚上。分析選項可知A項符合題意， 故選A。盡管口服藥物治療已經(jīng)有了進(jìn)展減緩了疾病的發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)在還沒有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。 （1）考查推理判斷。A first aid brochure.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學(xué)家培育出可預(yù)防艾滋病病毒感染的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻。A health magazine.C.It applies to the developed world.（4）From which is the text probably taken? A.It can produce dangerous chemicals.C.By processing it into a cream.（3）What can we infer about the genetic engineering process? A.By adding it to an oral drug.C.Introduce HIV to the public.（2）In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost? A.Provide some data about HIV.C. The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.（1）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. The new study predicts the ricebased method will lead to longterm use of the antiHIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the groundbreaking discovery is realistically the only way that antiHIV bination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world. The study reports the newlydeveloped rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.3．犇犇閱讀理解 故選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”可知Richard認(rèn)為通過使用這些大數(shù)據(jù)方法，我們可以將我們的注意力轉(zhuǎn)向現(xiàn)代保護(hù)中的難題:哪些物種和地區(qū)正在發(fā)生變化，哪些人最關(guān)心這些問題，哪些人能夠提供最多的幫助。故選C。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people39。故選B。根據(jù)第三段中的“Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.”可知在維基百科上，許多動植物的行為似乎都有季節(jié)性趨勢。故選D。
