But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was
young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, "In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language." Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. "When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, 'It's not too late.

4. A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes. 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 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, 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 strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.
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.
"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' performance
with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."
(1)How does RAS serve elderly people?________
A Through sensors.
B Through objects.
C Through a mobile
robot. D Through their daily activities..
(2)What can we know 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..
(3)What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?________
A Doubtful.
B Negative.
C Optimistic.
D Uncertain..
(4)What can 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.
四、任务型阅读(共2题;共18分)以下文章节选自《夏洛特的网》,阅读并回答问题.
5. Fern loved Wilbur more than anything. She loved to stroke him, to feed him, to put him to bed. Every morning, as soon as she got up, she warmed his milk, tied his bib on, and held the bottle for him. Every afternoon, when the school bus stopped in front
of her house, she jumped out and ran to the kitchen to fix another bottle for him. She fed him again at suppertime, and again just before going to bed. Mrs. Arable gave him a feeding around noontime each day, when Fern was away in school. Wilbur loved his milk,and he was never happier than when Fern was warming up a bottle for him. He would stand and gaze up at her with adoring eyes.
For the first few days of his life, Wilbur was allowed to live in a box near the stove in the kitchen. Then, when Mrs. Arable complained, he was moved to a bigger box in the woodshed. At two weeks of age, he was moved outdoors. It was apple﹣blossom time,and the days were getting warmer. Mr. Arable fixed a small yard specially for Wilbur under an apple tree, and gave him a large wooden box full of straw, with a doorway cut in it so he could walk in and out as he pleased.
"Won't he be cold at night?" asked Fern.
"No," said her father. "You watch and see what he does."
Carrying a bottle of milk, Fern sat down under the apple tree inside the yard. Wilbur ran
to her and she held the bottle for him while he sucked. When he had finished the last drop,he grunted and walked sleepily into the box. Fern peered through the door. Wilbur was poking the straw with his snout. In a short time he had dug a tunnel in the straw. He crawled into the tunnel and disappeared from sight, completely covered with straw.
Fern was enchanted. It relieved her mind to know that her baby would sleep covered up,and would stay warm.
(1)How many times did Wilbur get fed every day?________
(2)Where did Mr. Arable finally build a small "house" for Wilbur?________
(3)How did Fern feel when Wilbur first moved to his new "house" ?________
