正确答案:(1)D.段落大意题。根据第二段内容Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people's gaits,and are now quite good at it.But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky.研究人员使用摄像机和计算机来分析人们的步态,现在已经非常擅长了。但是将这些知识转化为实际的识别系
题目解析:
本文是说明文,主要介绍了由英格兰曼彻斯特大学的Krikor Ozanyan和爱尔兰国立大学的Patricia Scully领导的团队一直在寻找一种更好的识别步态的方法--压敏垫。
