214385. (2019•师大附中•高二上期中) Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that's just the reality of how life is.
   However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
   This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
   When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
   Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work,don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

(1)Paragraph 1 mainly talks about       .
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
(2)Successful people suggest doing what one loves because       .
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
(3)What can we infer from Paragraph 4?       
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
(4)What is the main theme of the passage?       
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

[解析]
(1)A.段落大意题。通过第一段我们可以得知作者列出很多人认为成功的因素,如"Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence"出生在好的家庭,天赋异禀,可得知本段主要在讲一些成功的因素,故选A.此外根据上下文意思和排除法,不难得出答案是原因。其他meaning(意义),standards(标准),importance(重要性)都不正确。故选A.
(2)D.细节理解题。根据第三段的this is a big reason why…,"If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.可知答案的关键是this.而this 指代的内容刚好是与时间(To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.)有关。属于原词重现。故选D.
(3)C.推理判断题。根据第四段"It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway." 句义为"很容易去认为他们是运气好,或者天生有些独特的天赋,但是这么想对你并无好处,而且极有可能你想错了。可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或运气。通过but之后的内容"thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway."不难得出答案。而且也可以通过排除法得出答案。A项的"show skills 展现技能"表达错误。C项的表达"at the cost of life 以生命为代价"是错误的,这不符合常理,但这道题最容易出错。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good排除。故选C.
(4)C.主旨大意题。可通过文章最后一段主题句"Whatever you do ,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time. ""不管你做什么,如果你想成为一个伟大的人,你需要日复一日地工作,几乎到了上瘾的程度,而且还要长期工作。"以及文章多次提到要花费时间和精力。可知一个人没有时间和实践是不可能成功的。ABD项都是以偏概全。故选C.

204707. (2022•西安中学•高一下期末) American high school students are terrible writers,and one education reform group thinks it has an answer:robots.Or,more accurately,robot-readers—computers programmed to scan students' essays and spit out a grade.
   Mark Shermis,professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron,is helping to hold a contest,set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (WFHF),that promises ﹩ -100,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. "If you're a high school teacher and you give a writing task,you're walking home with 150 essays," Shermis said. "You're going to need some help."
   Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s,but computers back then were not up to the task.In the late 1990s,as technology improved,several textbooks and testing companies jumped into the field.Today,computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota's student writing assessments and a handful of other exams,including the TOEFL test of English fluency,taken by foreign students.
   The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers—only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. "Automated essay scoring is objective," Shermis said. "And it can be done immediately.If students finish an essay at -10 pm,they will get a result at 10:01 pm."
   Take,for instance,the Intelligent Essay Assessor,a webbased tool marketed by Pearson Education,Inc.Within seconds,it can analyze an essay for spelling,grammar,organization,and help students to make revisions.The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic (语义的) patterns,and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.

(1)The text is written to introduce        .
A.robot-readers
B.education reform in America

204904. (2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末) California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s,according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
   The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests,the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
   Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick McIntyre,an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
   But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010,McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
   The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed,taking into account such things as rainfall,air temperature,dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt (融雪).
   Since the 1930s,McIntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?        
A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B.The increasing variety of California big trees.
C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.
(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?        
A.Ecological studies of forests.
B.Banning woodcutting.
C.Limiting housing development.
D.Fire control measures.
(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?        
A.Inadequate snowmelt.
B.A longer dry season.
C.A warmer climate.
D.Dampness of the air.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?        
A.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D.Patrick McIntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California

204942. (2022•阎良区•高二下期末) Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016,accounting for nearly one in ten deaths,according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018. "It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," said Sadie Boniface,head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies.While there is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking,with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health,according to a recent study.
   In the observational study,researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK,and their brain scans.The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter—regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to lead author Anya Topiwala,a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.
   "The more people drank,the less the volume of their gray matter," Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia (痴呆).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing," she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this (0.8%),it was a greater contribution than other 'changeable' risk factors," she said,explaining that changeable risk factors are "ones you can do something about,in contrast to aging."
   The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns,beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health.They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking—meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it.They also found no evidence that the type of drink—such as wine,spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain.
   However,certain characteristics,such as high blood pressure or obesity,could put people at higher risk,researchers added.So we shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks.

(1)How was the observational study developed?        
A.By comparing brain and health.
B.By comparing people and the researchers.
C.By comparing information and gray matter.
D.By comparing alcohol intake and brain scans.
(2)What is the result of the research?        
A.Drinking wine have no impact on brain.
B.Drinking spirits have more impact on brain.
C.Drinking alcohol can cause reducing of brain volume.
D.Drinking alcohol can lead to obesity.
(3)Which of the following groups has a higher risk when drinking alcohol?        
A.People drinking more types.
B.People with high blood pressure.
C.People selling the wine.
D.People with diabetes.
(4)What can be the best title for the passage?        
A.Stay Away From Alcohol.
B.Lack of Sleep.
C.Consumer Health.
D.Keep-fit Exercise.

204961. (2022•阎良区•高二上期末) What makes a human being?Is it our thoughts?Our emotions?Our behavior?All of these things make us who we are,but at the center of the matter is the genome(基因组)-the genes inside our bodies that may determine everything from our hair colour to our intelligence.But if we could change our genome,what would it mean to us?
   In an online video posted on Nov 26,He Jiankui,a biological researcher from Southern University of Science and Technology in China,said that he had helped to make the world's first genetically edited babies.
   These are twin girls,born in November,with genes edited in an attempt to help them fight against possible future infection with the AIDS virus.
   He said that he chose to do this because HIV infections are a big problem in China. "I feel such a strong responsibility that it's not just to make a first,but also to set an example," he told the Associated Press(AP).
   The announcement has caused an international storm.Some believe that success will benefit the families of HIV patients.Considering that HIV is "a major and growing public health threat," attempted gene editing for HIV is justifiable,Harvard Medical School genetics professor George Church told AP.
   However,others think that gene editing technology is still unsafe to attempt.
   "Gene editing itself is experimental and is still associated with unexpected mutations(突变),causing genetic problems early and later in life,including the development of cancer," Julian Savuleseu,a specialist in ethics at the University of Oxford,told BBC News.
   Others fear that this could open the door to using gene editing technology to make designer babies.It might give the parents the choices to choose everything from their baby's eye color to intelligence.
   "You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children,leading to even greater inequality than we already live with," Marcy Darnovsky,director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics,told BBC News.

(1)Why did He Jiankui make the genetically edited babies?        
A.Because he wanted to be a leader in gene editing technology.
B.Because he tried to do his part in fighting against HIV infection.
C.Because he attempted to help the twin girls who were infected with AIDS.
D.Because he wanted to become the first to make the genetically edited babies in the world.
(2)What does the underlined word "justifiable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?        
A.Absurd.
B.Hopeless.
C.Skilful.
D.Acceptable.
(3)For those who are against gene editing technology,their reasons are as follows EXCEPT        .
A.Gene editing can determine everything inside a person's body
B.Gene editing may widen the gap between the rich and the poor
C.Gene editing may enable wealthy parents to design their babies
D.Gene editing can cause genetic problems sooner or later in life
(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?        
A.Gene Editing:The Genie in the Bottle.
B.Gene Editing:The Way We Should Go.
C.Gene Editing:Hope or Fear for Human Beings.
D.Gene Editing:A Great Success in Human History.

204981. (2022•铁路中学•高二上期末) A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
   The system,called Driver Alert,aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness.Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
   Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband(腕带).The device,worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey.After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘).A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.
   Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time.Usually,a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond,but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
   In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds,showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest.If the driver's response continues to slow down,the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
   The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing.If these tests,scheduled for six months' time,are successful,the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

(1)Driver Alert is a device that can         .
A.keep drivers asleep
B.change drivers' response accuracy
C.reduce the possibility of accidents
D.protect drivers when accidents happen
(2)What does the underlined word "fatigue" in Paragraph 2 mean?        
A.Illness.
B.Tiredness.
C.Carelessness.
D.Impoliteness.
(3)How does Driver Alert work?        
A.By being used as a nonstop alarm all the time.
B.By squeezing the steering wheel on the way.
C.By reminding or warning drivers if necessary.
D.By being worn on drivers' hands every moment.
(4)What do we know about Driver Alert?        
A.It must be fixed on the driver's cars.
B.It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping.
C.It has gone through testing at laboratories.
D.It isn't available to drivers at the moment.

205003. (2022•临潼区•高一下期末) Standing in my office 25 years ago was an unknown young astronomer with a half-smile on her face.She had come with an impossible request that my team modify(修改)our thoroughly tested software to make one of our most important scientific instruments do something it had never been designed for and risk breaking it.All to carry out an experiment that was basically a waste of time and couldn't be done—prove that a massive black hole lay at the center of our Milky Way.
   My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but firm determination.Andrea Ghez,one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics,impressed me with her work on providing solid evidence of a supermassive black hole with the mass of four million suns living at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
   That determination and the willingness to take calculated risks has always characterized Andrea.For 25 yeare has focused almost completely on Sagittarius A-the name of our own local supermassive black hole.It is remarkable that an entire field of study has grown up in the quarter century,of searching for and finding evidence of these monsters thought to lie at the heart of every large galaxy.
   Andrea did her work at the W.M.Keck Observatory's(天文台)twin telescopes on Maunakea,Hawaii,in the calm and clear air almost 14000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.She started using the very first instrument fixed on Keck Observatory's Near Infrared Camera(NIRC),now gracing the lobby(大厅)at our headquarters.
   Andrea is fond of pointing out that one of the reasons for her success has been this tight and rapid loop(循环)between the needs of the astronomers and the engineers who responded to the challenge.
   This is my friend and longtime colleague,the one who refused to take "no" for an answer:Andrea Ghez,winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics.

(1)Which words best describe Andrea Ghez?        
A.Confident and adaptable.
B.Determined and creative.
C.Brave and kind.
D.Cooperative and generous.
(2)What is the passage mainly about?        
A.The Noble Prize for physics.

(3)What does the underlined word "gracing" in Paragraph 4 mean?        
A.Bringing honour to.
B.Being kind enough to attend.
C.Moving in a smooth way.
D.Advancing the level.
(4)From which is the text probably taken?        
A.A research paper.

205004. (2022•临潼区•高一下期末) The first great agricultural revolution happened 10,000 years ago,when humans settled on farms.The second was the "green revolution" from the 1930s to the 1960s,in which advances in fertilization,mechanization,and irrigation dramatically increased global food production.The third is likely to come from information,as digital technology and big data help farmers make better decisions and drive up crop production.
   Michael Stern,president and chief executive officer of Climate Corp.,said that the ability to gather detailed information about farmers' fields,coupled with advances in weather forecasting,computing power,and artificial intelligence,will change farming from a business that often reacts to the past—applying insecticide this year because of a disease outbreak last year—to one that uses real-time data and weather forecasts to make more accurate decisions for the season to come.
   Over the course of a growing season,farmers make 40 to 50 key decisions that affect crop performance.Recent trends that have swept other areas of society—such as cheap data storage,the ability to transfer data witlessly,and dramatic increases in computing power—have the potential to transform the farm.
   Stem offered the example of a farmer preparing for the regular fall fertilizing of his fields who delays the application after being informed of a coming storm.That decision reduces runoff,keeps fertilizer on the field,and helps controls farmer's costs.As data gathers season after season,computer models will help farmers better manage fertilizer and other additions to optimize production and minimize runoff.
   Remote sensing is another way that modern technology can help farmers know what's going on in their fields.Many farmers drive around to monitor growth and watch for pests and diseases.But these surveys are typically random and don't cover more than 2 percent of a field.Remote sensing can provide accurate data that covers an entire field and cables recommendations tailored to what's going on in the stricken area.

(1)What may the third agricultural revolution help farmers do in the future?        
A.Make reasonable decisions.
B.Grasp computing ability.
C.Deal with big data.
D.Develop business potentials.
(2)Why did the author give an example in Paragraph 4 according to the text?        
A.To confirm the coming of a storm.
B.To explain the reason of fertilizer runoff.
C.To stress the effect of information application.
D.To show the use of computer models.
(3)What is the advantage of the remote sensing technology?        
A.It can show typical random.
B.It can drive up crop production
C.It can remove pests and diseases.
D.It can offer exact statistics.
(4)What is the author's attitude to the coming agriculture revolution?        
A.Opposed.
B.Neutral.
C.Positive.
D.Unclear.

205021. (2022•莲湖区•高一下期末) Staffan Lindeberg is a professor in the department of medicine at the University of Lund in Sweden.He was interested in a Stone Age diet.In the early 1990s he travelled to Papua New Guinea to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet.While there,he found that people did not suffer from heart attacks,diabetes (糖尿病),being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
   As a result of his findings,he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them.Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet,also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables.All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels,most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
   At the end of three months,the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood.The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients' weight didn't seem to be related.
   So,what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier?The diet contains some meat,fish,vegetables and nuts (坚果) but it doesn't contain any dairy products (乳制品) or grains,and there is no salt.
   The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us.After all,their life expectancy (预期寿命) is much lower.According to Professor Lindeberg,this is not as simple as we may think.Because of their poor health care,there is more chance of them dying at a young age.However,if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty,they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.

(1)What did Staffan Lindeberg find about the Kitava people on the island of Kitava?        
A.They followed the Stone Age diet.
B.They lived a simple life.
C.They had no diseases common in western countries.
D.They had poor medical conditions.
(2)What did the tests in Sweden show?        
A.The Stone Age diet could help people lose weight quickly.
B.High blood sugar levels could cause people to be overweight.
C.The Mediterranean diet could not help reduce blood sugar levels.
D.People following the Stone Age diet had a low blood sugar level.
(3)What did the Stone Age diet did not contain?        
A.Vegetables.
B.Salt.
C.Meat.
D.Fish.
(4)Why is Kitava people's life expectancy low?        
A.They have unhealthy eating habits.
B.Their living conditions are poor.
C.They don't have good health care.
D.They tend to suffer from a rare disease at a young age.

205023. (2022•莲湖区•高一下期末) China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning,setting a new national record,from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.
   A modified (改进的) version of China's Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.
   The satellites,built by seven institutes and private companies,have individual tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data,environmental monitoring,forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
   "You can call it a shared rocket' if you want," said Xiao Yun,the commander in chief for the launch. "We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that.If there are many satellites to launch,we use a big rocket.If only a few to launch,we have smaller rockets."
   Today's launch marks the 409th mission of China's Long March rocket series.
   Long March-8 has been redesigned and this is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket,which is designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) aiming at commercial launches.The first mission launched in late 2020.
   It's clearly noticeable in the launch video that the new rocket lacks the two boosters(助推器)found on its predecessor (上一代),which means the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX's Falcon 9.
   Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
   "The Long March-8 can launch 3 tonnes of satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) or medium Earth orbit," said Wu Yitian,deputy chief designer of the rocket. "Such rockets are urgently needed by the market,especially to launch Earth observation satellites."
   A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.

(1)What does the underlined word "deploying" in paragraph 2 probably mean?        
A.Placing.
B.Applying.

205042. (2022•莲湖区•高二下期末) There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town,city or country:natural disasters.The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming.Though technology helps us prepare,but it never actually tells the people what time it's going to hit.It is always estimated,but the result is never 100% accurate.
   However,that is not the point of this article.Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks.One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States.The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice,Italy.However,there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道)of the two tragedies.
   As for the flooding in Louisiana.it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it'll cost at least ﹩30 million.In only the first couple of weeks,13 people had died.However,like me,many people did not hear about this tragic event.I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
   In Italy,however,it covered all media instantly.The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning.That same day,I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed.Every other post was about the earthquake.Some would have the opinion that Amatrice,Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country.I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding.So far,they have a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing.
   I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana.However.I believe that if a natural disaster happens,they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious.We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help.We may not be able to accurately predict disasters,but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.

(1)What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?        
A.The death and the injured.
B.The media report.
C.The government's responsibility.
D.Their economic loss.
(2)Why did the author learn about the flood so late?        
A.He didn't care about the flood.
B.He felt nervous about the news.
C.The media didn't cover it in time.
D.The flood frightened the author a lot.
(3)How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy?        
A.Proud.
B.Critical.
C.Pitiful.
D.Sad.
(4)What does the author really want to say in the text?        
A.Italy isn't good at predicting the natural disasters.
B.All natural disasterould be covered equally.
C.The world should be united into one instantly.
D.America should help Italy predict natural disasters.

205060. (2022•蓝田县•高一下期末) Precision(精确)agriculture is a method of growing crops.Farmers use technology to collect very precise or exact measurements about their land.It tells farmers how they planted seeds,used fertilizers and chemical pesticides,and so on.Farm equipment can plant different amounts of seeds and leave different amounts of fertilizer in different parts of a field.Water measuring equipment can tell farmers how much water their plants are getting.
   But some of this technology is too costly for small farmers,especially in developing countries.Ranveer Chandra,the Microsoft researcher from India,is working to develop low-cost,high-tech tools for farmers.He developed a system that connects soil sensors to other sensing equipment through unused television(TV)channels.These unused TV signals,known as "white space" frequencies(频率),can provide Internet connection over long distances.Some hospitals and schools in rural areas are already online with white-space connections,Chandra noted.
   Each soil sensor provides information about conditions on the farm.To connect all the areas into a big picture,a drone aircraft takes photographs from high in the air.Artificial intelligence(AI)compares these photos to the sensor data.AI then can create maps of where the soil is too acidic or needs more water.Similar technology can also help farmers watch their animals.Video cameras connected to computers and linked to the Internet can help farmers recognize sick cattle,for example.
   However,the level and speed at which new farming skills and technologies will spread remains unclear.Bruce Erickson is a precision farming expert at Purdue University in Indiana.He told the CSA the one problem faced by any new farming technology is getting people to use it with their existing methods.Different countries have different farming methods and different ways of doing business. "It takes people to carry out new farming practices," Erickson said.

(1)How is paragraph1 mainly developed?        
A.By following the order of space.
B.By giving specific examples.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By analyzing causes.
(2)What did Ranveer Chandra research?        
A.How to design AI for making maps.
B.How to profit from the unused TV signals.
C.How to develop a drone aircraft for farming.
D.How to lower the cost of farming technology.
(3)What is paragraph 3 mainly about?        
A.The future of artificial intelligence.
B.The process of using white-space connections.
C.The practical application in precision agriculture.
D.The achievement in designing high-tech farming tools.
(4)What can we infer about the future of precision agriculture from the last paragraph?        
A.It needs time to be readily accepted by modern farmers.
B.It depends on the development of new farming technology.
C.It will revolutionize the traditional farming.
D.It has to gain support from agricultural experts.

205098. (2022•蓝田县•高二下期末) The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing.This is problematic,as at least 700 kinds of ocean animals-including sharks,whales,seabirds and turtles --can become caught in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack.
   While we know that some ocean animals seem to catch plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources,less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to ocean animals.But now,a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found the coating (涂层)that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
   The researchers took 15 turtles,each around five months old,and placed them in a lab aquarium.They then piped in smells of clean water,clean plastic,turtle food,and plastic that had been soaking in the ocean environment for five weeks.The turtleowed no reaction to the smells of clean water or clean plastic.But when facing ocean soaked plastic or turtle food,they stuck their noses out of the water and showed increased activity.
   "This finding is important because it's the first proof that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them, " said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann,who took part in the study. "It's common to find a turtle with its stomach full of plastic materials.There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stuck on the beach due to their taking in plastic. "
   According to the researchers,areas of the ocean with much plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there are plenty of food sources,when the opposite is true. "Once these plastics are in the ocean,we don't have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food, "said Lohmann. "The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all. "

(1)Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to ocean animals?        
A.It may mislead them as food.
B.It may eat up all jellyfish.
C.It may kill them with its smell.
D.It may trap 700 species of sea animals.
(2)What smell did turtles prefer according to the study?        
A.Sea water.
B.Clean water.
C.Clean plastic.
D.Ocean-soaked plastic.
(3)What do we know from the study?        
A.Turtles seem to eat plastic because it looks like food.
B.Turtles have died out due to their taking in plastic.
C.Turtles eat plastic because it gives off the smell of food.
D.Turtles with their stomachs full of plastic were studied.
(4)What are we supposed to do according to Dr.Kenneth J Lohmann?        
A.Keep away from the polluted ocean.
B.Maintain a plastic-free ocean.
C.Remove plastic from the ocean.
D.Stop people feeding turtles plastic.
