Designed by an Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase will follow you everywhere you go. The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype (雏形), connects to a smart phone app via Bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you’re not looking and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices. “It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smart phone, and avoiding obstacles,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We’re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app, press the follow-me button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.” NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization (定制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman said, “We want to bring robots into everyday life.” The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on old-fashion luggage. With NUA’s smart suitcase, carrying round heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs It will be interesting to wait. 1．Why can this carry-on suitcase follow you A．Because there is a camera sensor inside. B．Because there exists an anti-theft alarm. C．Because it can recognize your smell. D．Because a battery plays a key part. 2．According to the passage, the “smart” suitcase _______. A．can go everywhere B．is on sale now C．can make our hands free during traveling D．was designed by Alex Libman 3．What can we learn about NUA A．It is an Israeli tech company producing mobile phones. B．It has improved the features of the device. C．It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month. D．It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life. 4．Where does the article probably come from A．A text-book. B．A website. C．A biography. D．A poster. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型智能行李箱，它是以色列NUA Robotics公司研发的，主人走到哪它就跟到哪。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors.(它有一个内置的摄像头传感器，可以“看到”你，并在像机场地板这样的平面上跟随你。)”可知，这个随身行李箱跟着你因为里面有一个内置的摄像头传感器。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中““It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smart phone, and avoiding obstacles,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics.(NUA Robotics的创始人亚历克斯·利布曼解释说：“它可以在与智能手机通信的同时，为人们随身携带东西，并避开障碍物。”)”以及第三段中“So if you download our app, press the follow-me button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.(因此，如果你下载了我们的应用程序，按下“follow-me”按钮，行李箱就会识别特定的用户，并知道如何跟随和交流。)”可知，使用该“智能”行李箱可以为人们随身携带东西，解放双手。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“ “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman said, “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”(“任何物体都可以是智能和机器人的，”利布曼说，“我们希望把机器人带入日常生活。”)”可知，利布曼作为NUA机器人公司的创始人，其公司旨在希望把更多的智能和机器人设备带入日常生活。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中“So if you download our app, press the follow-me button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.(如果你下载了我们的应用程序，按下“跟我走”按钮，行李箱就会识别出用户，并知道跟随和交流。)”可知，因此，如果你下载了我们的应用程序，按下“follow me”按钮，行李箱就会识别出具体的用户，并知道该跟谁走、该跟谁交流。结合选项可推知，文章最有可能选自一个网站。故选B。学习任务单
