本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能在生活中的应用，如谷歌助理，高端机器人等。

【1】句意：它们会连接你的其他设备，使用户可以远程操控家电。

此处和其前的to构成动词不定式作宾语补足语，所以填动词原形；根据句意，可知是说可以远程操控；operate表示“操控”，是动词，故选B。

【2】句意：在2017年末，当索菲亚，一个像人一样的机器人占领各大新闻版面时，整个世界都感到震惊。

此处作表语，表示世界感到震惊，应该用形容词；amazed表示“感到震惊的”，是形容词，故选E。

【3】句意：最近，索菲亚在Brain Bar发表讲话，描述自己是“未来欧洲最大的佳节”。

此处作时间状语，应该用表示时间的副词；recently表示“最近”，是副词，故选D。

【4】句意：它早已经将我从一些尴尬的情景中拯救出来。

此处作宾语，其前被形容词embarrassing修饰，又有a few修饰，应该用名词复数；situations表示“情景”，是名词复数，故选A。
