A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia and other limitations live independently in their own homes.
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. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instruction on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owners 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, about 50 percent adults over the age of 85 need assistance with everyday activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearby $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 pressure on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.
RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to apply to their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that shown 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’s performance with a group of older adults to get a better data of what video reminders and other performances they have regarding the robot.”
39. What plays a key role in RAS serving the elderly?
A. Sensors B. Videos. C. Signal lights D. Head size
40. What can we learn about RAS?
A. It is the first robot used in daily life. B. Its function remains to be tested.
C. It can locate people and do any task. D. It can cook for owners on its own.
41. What’s Minor’s attitude toward the future of RAS?
A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Optimistic D. Uncertain
42. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Elderly People Leave the Nursing Home.
B. Smart Home Tests First Elder Care Robot
C. RAS, the First Robot to Make Home Smart.
D. Older Adults Have Benefited from RAS a Lot.
【答案】39. A 40. B 41. C 42. B
【解析】
本文是新闻报道。文章报道了华盛顿州立大学(WSU)的科学家们发明了一种机器人RAS,可以帮助独居老年人在家中更轻松地生活。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(机器人活动支持系统,或RAS,使用装备在WSU智能家居的来确定老年人在哪里,在做什么,以及在日常活动中什么时候需要帮助。)”可知,RAS为老年人服务起主要作用的是传感器。故选A项。
【40题详解】

Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lighting-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those heralds (使者), along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lost of information to model its environments as it moves. It’s pulling in date from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure (基础设施) constructors. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.
And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or even replace — smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could reply on hardware for processing power.
But don’t get to excited. There’s still a lot of work to be down in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.
43. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A right security of 5G. B. The super speed of 5G.
C. A potential dream of 5G. D. The present world of 5G.
44. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emblem” in paragraph 2?
A. exhibition B. explanation C. sponsor D. symbol
45. What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?
A. They will be heavier than present ones.
B. They will process power on their own
C. They will serve people instead of smartphones.
D. They will bring a big fortune to teach companies.
46. What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?
A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B. How to effectively reduce 5G trials.
C. How to nicely operate 5G hardware.
D. How to widely construct 5G big cities.
【答案】43. B 44. D 45. C 46. A
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了,从智能家居安全到自动驾驶汽车,我们生活中所有的互联网连接设备都让我们越来越接近5G世界。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lighting-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.”(缓慢但肯定的是,我们正越来越接近5G世界。从智能家居安全到自动驾驶汽车,我们生活中所有的互联网连接设备都将能够以极快的速度相互通信,减少延迟。客观地说,美国最快的4G下载速度最高,平均为19.42Mbps。但相比之下,5G承诺了千兆的速度。),可知第一段主要讲超高速的5G网络。故选B项。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段中的“The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lost of information to model its environments as it moves.”(自动驾驶汽车是这个数据时代的一个伟大emblem,也就是说,它是一个时间的标志,因为只有一个单一的任务,驾驶,你就有大量来自车辆本身的信息,而
各种传感器正在收集丢失的信息,以便在车辆行驶时模拟其环境。),根据that is to say, it is a sign of time可知,emblem在此处意为“symbol(标志)”。故选D项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones.”(而虚拟现实眼镜和耳机尚未打破主流,但科技公司却乐此不疲地打赌,这些设备最终将取代我们的智能手机。),可推断出一些科技公司认为虚拟现实眼镜将为人们服务,而不是智能手机。故选C项。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“But don’t get to excited. There’s still a lot of work to be down in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.”(但别激动。与此同时,还有很多工作要做,包括各种试验,以确保无线电设备与硬件和基础设施建设配合良好,这样5G就不会只集中在大城市。),可知5G不会只集中在大城市中,可推断出下一段将讲述如何全面扩大5G覆盖。故选A项。
D
From Madrid to Buenos Aires to Panama City to Lisbon, President Xi Jinping has tirelessly promoted the building of a community of shared future for mankind, and the Belt and Road Initiative(倡议) as a means to achieve that.
But all don’t see it that way. While some are quick to see its positive potentials, other countries insist on viewing it skeptically. There have been the usual doubts about the intention behind, although the mysterious threat they speak of is one they seem unable to explain clearly.
To some of them, it is a vague assumption that investments from China are potential “debt traps” that call for extreme caution or “threats to national security”. That is why the business combinations involving Chinese companies which would be mutually( 相互地)beneficial have hit the rocks. The Chinese telecommunications technology giant Huawei, for instance, has found the doors to the 5G telecommunications markets of advanced countries closed to it on “national security” grounds. Likewise, the European Union has agreed on a framework regulating foreign investment(投资 ) particularly those from China on the same account.
Even as Chinese and Portuguese leaders discuss bilateral( 双边的)cooperation under the Belt
and Road, there is no lack of concern about “Chinas influence”. But existing EU rules do not forbid Lisbon from seeking such a partnership. If Lisbon sees no harm from foreign investment, no outsider is in a position to prevent it from making a choice in its own best interests.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa has reminded EU decision-makers of his country's desire for foreign investment, and advised the latter to avoid taking “the path of protectionism”. It was a timely reminder.
Facing the challenges in today, s world, China and the countries that have embraced the Belt and Road are convinced it is the way to common development and the world’s lasting peace and stability.
47. Some countries that hold a negative attitude towards the Initiative mainly doubt its______
A. power B. mystery C. intention D. potential
48. What does the underlined part “hit the rocks” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fallen Into a trap B. become a hit
C. made a difference D. failed to work out
49. It can be learned from the passage that________
A. Huawei has caused serious security problems abroad
B. the EU will take relatively strict measures on Chinese investment
C. the Road and Belt Initiative has gained much popularity for “China’s influence”
D. China's investment in Portugal has been extremely smooth
50. What is the authors attitude towards Portuguese Prime Ministers advice
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】47. C 48. D 49. B 50. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要内容是推动“一带一路”建设的过程中,中国遇到国际社会的诸多挑战,但中国和“一带一路”沿线国家坚信,这是实现共同发展、维护世界持久和平与稳定的必由之路。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的There have been the usual doubts about the intention behind, although the mysterious threat they speak of is one they seem unable to explain clearly.(尽管他们所说的神秘威胁似乎是他们无法清楚解释的,但人们对其背后的意图还是一如既往地持怀疑态度。)由此可知,一些对该倡议持消极态度的国家主要怀疑其意图。故选C。
【48题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段的The Chinese telecommunications technology giant Huawei, for instance, has found the doors to the 5G telecommunications markets of advanced countries closed to it on “national security” grounds.(例如,中国电信技术巨头华为(Huawei)就发现,发达国家以“国家安全”为由对其关闭了5G电信市场的大门。)由此可推知,中国公司的互利商业组合之路走得并不顺利,故hit the rocks与failed to work out(没有成功)语义相近,故选D。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的Likewise, the European Union has agreed on a framework regulating foreign investment(投资) particularly those from China on the same account.(同样,欧盟已就一个监管外国投资的框架达成一致,尤其是来自中国的投资。)由此可推知,欧盟将对中国投资采取相对严格的措施。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的It was a timely reminder.(这是一个及时的提醒)可知,葡萄牙总理渴望吸引外国投资,并建议避免走“保护主义道路”,由此可推之,作者对葡萄牙总理的建议持积极的态度。故选B。

Tutors sometimes come to your home, but there are also tutoring centers across the country. A tutor may have broad knowledge of many things or may be trained just one subject. ___54___ The advantage of having a tutor is that it gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly and work at your own pace.
If you're interested in a tutor, check the Internet or the yellow pages of your phone book, or get a referral from a teacher, a friend, or a classmate who has a tutor. ____55____Often college students will tutor high school students in their areas of study to help cover the costs of school.
A. Sometimes people put off study.
B. The first place to turn for help is your teacher.
C. Good study techniques begin in the classroom as you take notes.

71. for 72. invented
73. are 74. probably
75. more
【解析】
【分析】

【68题详解】
考查非谓语动词。此处是现在分词做结果状语,she 与所给出的词在逻辑上是主动关系。故填making。
【69题详解】
考查连接词。分析句子可知know后接宾语从句,what作did的宾语。故填what。

【74题详解】
考查副词。probably 为副词修饰整个句子,故填probably。
【75题详解】
考查比较级。 根据后面的than可知此处用比较级,more than“不仅仅”故填more。
【点睛】现在分词短语作结果状语的用法
要掌握好现在分词短语作结果状语的用法,须注意以下几点:
a. 句子的主谓部分与分词之间含有逻辑上的因果关系,关于这一点可以从上述几个句子的翻译中不难看出。如:Winter in India sets in November and continues until February, permitting the cultivation of wheat.
b. 表示结果的现在分词短语通常放在句子的后头,其前常有一逗号隔开,分词短语前有时可加上副词thus或thereby(因而、因此)。如:Carbon burns in oxygen or air, thereby forming carbon dioxide.
c. 这种作结果状语的现在分词短语的逻辑主语可以是句子的主语,也可以前边的整个句子。因而,在前一中情况下现在分词短语相当于由and连接的并列谓语;在后一中情况下现在分词短语相当于一个非限制性定语从句。例如:He dropped the glass, breaking it into pieces. =" …" and broke it into pieces. / Laughter does produce short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption (="which" boosts heart rate and oxygen consumption).
第三节 短文改错
76. 文中共有10处错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(^)。并在其下面写出修改后的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;
2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不记分
Today all the students in my school had a heat discussion about if we students should wear school uniforms or not. 80% of the students thought wearing school uniforms will prevent students express their individual characteristic. However, 15% of them think it can help some students stop focusing on showing off his clothes. The rest, about 5%, don’t take the issue serious. They are only concerned that whether they can get high grades. As for me, I’m one of the 15%. I think wearing school uniforms can be vital importance in creating a sense of school identity but it also encourages students to feel like part of the school.
【答案】1. heat→heated
2. if→whether
3. thought→think
4. express→expressing
5. characteristic→characteristics
6. his→their
7. serious→seriously
8.去掉that
9. be vital之间加of
10. but→and
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文。主要就学生是否应该穿校服进行了讨论。
【详解】1.考查形容词。此处表示一个热烈的讨论,heated为形容词修饰名词。故heat改为heated。
2.考查连接词。这里是一个宾语从句,作介词about的宾语,因此要用whether来引导。故if改为whether。
3.考查时态。根据上下文内容可知这里叙述的是一般情况,因此要用一般现在时;故thought改为think。
4.考查动名词。prevent sb. /sth. (from) doing sth. 意为“阻止某人做某事”,此处用动名词作宾语;故express改为expressing。
5.考查名词单复数。characteristic此处意为特征,是可数名词,根据前面的their可知,这里要用复数形式。 故characteristic改为characteristics。
6.考查代词。结合上下文可知,此处指的是炫耀他们的衣服,由此可知此处要用their;故his改为their。
7..考查副词。此处用副词修饰动词take;故serious改为seriously。
8.考查连接词。句意:他们只是担忧他们是否得到高分,通过分析可知,这里由whether引导的宾语从句,that是多余的;故去掉that。
9.考查固定用法。be of vital importance=be very important意为很重要,故be vital之间加of。
10.考查连词。结合句意“我认为穿校服对于创造一种学校认同感是至关重要的,也能鼓励学生觉得自己是学校的一部分。”可知此处表示并列关系,不是转折关系,故but改为and。

【答案】Dear Victor,
It will be a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, when we are scheduled to go to a farm near our school to experience the countryside life by the students' union of our school. I'm writing to
invite you to come along with us.
At 8 a.m. we are due to meet at our school gate and then set out for the farm, which covers an area of 200 acres and where a diversity of crops are grown, ranging from wheat, rice, corn, apples, grapes, eggplants, vegetables and so on. It will take us about half an hour to get there. After our arrival, some students especially the boys will assist the farmers to harvest the rice, while the others will pick fruit such as grapes and tomatoes and seasonal vegetables. At noon we'll enjoy a typical farmhouse meal there, which we have paid for in advance. At 4 p.m. we'll head back home.
Indeed, I think it is a good opportunity for you to dip into Chinese culture and see what life is like in the countryside in China. For some more details, don't hesitate to contact me.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
