"They will go out and work in the fields, allowing the farmer to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.”At the moment, agricultural machines-very large and heavy-can cover a lot of space quickly.But there are shortcomings. Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms , regardless of the different needs of different crops.They're also so heavy that they're damaging farmers9 soils, “ researcher Jonathan Gill said.Gill and his colleagues went smaller： a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS.Altogether, they spent less than £ 200, 000 on equipment, and used open source technology and a drone （无人机）.EventuaHy the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.The team is quick to caution that they don't want to put farmers out of work.They said, “Instead ofbeing busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.v The next stop fbr the barley will be a brewery.Thafs not going to be completely automatic.At least not yet.K语篇解读U 本文是说明文，主题语境为科技农业。蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需 要人类的干预就可以为农业生产做出贡献。科研人员力图将这种“无为而治”的 思想应用于高科技的领域，改进农业机械以实现全面的农业自动化。1 .What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists?A.Their dependence on nature.B.Their special way of survival.C.Their selfless love for the earth.D.Their natural involvement in farming.K答 案H D K推理判断题。根据第一段的Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands off thinking in a high-tech direction ” 以及第二段的内 容可知，蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需要人类的干涉就可以使庄稼受益，研究者希望 将这种“无为而治”的思想应用于科技农业的领域。.What advantage of GilTs equipment is introduced in Para.4?A.Freeing workers totally.B.Reducing the cost of harvest.C.Improving the accuracy of farming.D.Increasing the output of different crops.K答 案】 C K细节理解题。根据第三段的aFertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops”可知，现有的农业机械 设备不能精准施肥。第四段介绍了科研队选用小规模的农业设备，再加上GPS和 无人机等设备的配合，可以实现精准农业的目标。.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.GilPs project is still at the design stage.B.Unemployment wouldn't be a concern.C.The brewery will realize automation soon.D plete automatic farming is unrealistic.K答案B K推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，科研队并不想农民因 为农业自动化而失业，农民需要控制机器并持续观察农作物。H.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.The future of hands free farmingB.The functions of agricultural machinesC.The development of automatic harvestD.The shortcomings of traditional farmingK答案A K标题归纳题。通读全文可知，农业科研人员正努力实现农业全 面自动化以解放农民的双手，如今已取得不小的成就。XV.完形填空In her 102 years, Sally Lepis has been known for helping her family, friends and neighbors.So when the old lady couldn't 1 to replace her decades -old hearing aids and it became increasingly difficult to 2, a local nonprofit was happy to give a 3 .Last month, Lepis was 4 with hearing aids, worth about $7, 500, through Senior Dreams Come True, a nonprofit program run by a law firm.u Mrs.Lepis has 5 so much of herself over the years to friends, family and those 6 in her community, “ said Jennifer Cona, a managing partner at the law firm.Lepis has long been the 7 that's kept her family together, her niece, Olivia Schmidt, 73, said.When Schmidt was a teenager, her mother, Lepis9 twin sister, died at age 42.Lepis8 jumped in and raised Schmidt in her Westbury home.“It's 9 that she has done so much for so many people and thinks 10 of it, ” said Schmidt, who to nominate （推荐）her aunt for Senior Dreams Come True over the summer.In July, Schmidt and her cousins wrote letters to the nonprofit, 12 Lepis for her lifetime of 13 deeds.Later that month, Lepis learned she would 14 newhearing aids, replacing the ones she had used for the past 25 years, and it is 15 that Lepis will again be a lively presence at her family's Thanksgiving dinner.K语篇解读本文是记叙文。102岁高龄的Lepis老人终身为他人奉献。支付不起购买新助听器费用的她，得到了一家非营利组织的帮助。1 .A.expectB. affordC.stopD.offerk答 案B K根据下文中的$7, 500可知，102岁高龄的Lepis无力”支付 (afford)”置换助听器的费用。力.A municateB.exerciseC.explainD.seeK 答 案 H A K 根据本句中的“replace her decadesold hearing aids” 可知， 老人现在所佩戴的助听器已经有几十年了，与人“交流(communicate)”变得日益 困难，助听器到了需要置换的地步了。DB.promiseB.promiseC.handC.handD.prizeK见下题K解析I。B.sold4 .A.lentC.presentedC.presentedlaw firm”可知,D.recommendedK根据下文中的 uhearing aids, worth about $7, 500, through.a本地的一家非营利组织向老人伸出了援助之“手(hand)”,上个 月老人接受了该组织“赠予(presented)”的新助听器。力B.lost5 .A.givenC. talkedC. talkedD.hiddenK答案H A K参考下题K解析HD.A.with patienceB.with luckC.in chargeD.in need答 案 D K 根据第一段中的 has been known for helping her family, friends and neighbors v可知，Jennifer Cona说道，Lepis老人经年累月地为了家人、朋友 和那些“需要帮助的(in need)”人“奉献着(given)”自己。X.A.voiceB.glueD.changeC.traditionK答案HB K见下题K解析兀H.A.gratefullyB.repeatedlyC .eventuallyD. immediatelyK 答案 I D K 根据上文 “When Schmidt was a teenager, her mother, Lepis' twin sister, died at age 42” 及本句 中"jumped in and raised Schmidt in her Westbury home”可知，Lepis老人的外甥女Olivia Schmidt说道，长期以来，Lepis扮演着这 个家庭“粘合剂(glue)”的角色，将这个家团结起来。Schmidt的妈妈42岁早逝 后，Lepis "迅即(immediately)”承当起照料Schmidt的责任。H.A.pitifulB.challengingC.naturalD.amazingK答案XD K参考下题K解析兀DB.somethingB.something6 .
