21、A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.

With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment— more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides。

Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”.

At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide(滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.

Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can spot which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop, allowing farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it.

【1】What’s the Mineral project’s goal?

A．To replace farmers with robots.

B．To design and sell farming robots.

C．To better handle environmental pollution.

D．To improve food production in a green way.

【2】What contributes to the need for more food?

A．The increasing population.

B．The constant disasters.

C．People’s bigger appetite.

D．The development of industry.

【3】What does the underlined part “the plot” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The series of events.

B．A secret plan.

C．The mark on a map.

D．A piece of farmland.

【4】Which aspect of plant buggies is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?

A．Its classification.

B．Its structure.

C．Its low cost.

D．Its shortcoming.

【5】What is special about plant buggies?

A．They can collect soil information.

B．They can make weather predictions.

C．They can monitor each plant’s condition.

D．They can help fertilize and water the crops.

22、If you ask most fathers, without hesitation, they will say that they would die for their children. Unfortunately, some men have been put in that situation, and with Father’s Day coming up next weekend, we want to share with you their stories.

Justin McCary

On October 8, 2015, Justin McCary, his 10-year-old daughter Haley, and his niece were doing some rock collecting near a railroad bridge in Chattanooga. When they heard the train coming, they started to move away from the tracks, but that is when Haley’s foot became stuck. He pushed her off the bridge and she fell 15-feet into the stream below. The girl survived, but the train killed the father instantly.

Jim Tramel

On Easter Sunday, 2016, Jim Tramel was on vacation with his family in Palm Springs. Suddenly Jim saw that something was wrong with his nine-year-old daughter. He immediately dived into the pool and managed to get his daughter to safety, but he was pronounced dead in the hospital. Other people were far away from the faulty wiring and not seriously injured.

Fredrick Martin

On April 3, 2012, Fredrick and his eight-year-old son Tre were cleaning out Tre’s grandmother’s garage when two men ran towards them and fired a few shots. Fredrick naturally bent over his son and protected him from the bullets (子弹). Police believe that this murder was random, and no one has ever been arrested in connection with the crime that left Tre Martin fatherless.

Early one morning in November 2010, a fire broke out in the home of the Merkels in Manitoba, Canada. Once outside, the parents realized their fourth child, Kai, was still in the basement.

23、“That’s that car!” Benny Correa screamed in their black Cadillac. Earlier, his wife Disley had mentioned a missing 11-year-old girl in Brimfield, not far from their home. The passing car was the same make and model.

Correa took a hard right out of the parking lot and tailed the blue Honda to view the license plate. The driver immediately sped up and blew through a stop sign. Correa shocked his family by following suit.

The Honda pulled around the back of a store. When it came around, Correa caught up and pulled ahead, trying to cut it off. The Honda hit the brakes and jumped a curb (路缘). The Cadillac’s high lights flashed on the driver — a young man with black hair, pulling a hooded sweatshirt up over his face. They saw him forcing a girl’s head down in the back, trying to hide her.

Disley, by then had called 911. “Yes, it’s him!” she yelled. “Knife in hand!”

“Get him, Dad!” his son shouted excitedly.

Correa stayed close behind the Honda, zooming down the road at 100 mph. Soon, he discovered the low-gas light was blinking on the dashboard. Actually, they found out later the suspension had been damaged during the race —was running on heavy smoke. Their car soon sputtered (噼啪) to a stop. The Honda disappeared. But thanks to Disley’s directions, the police had plotted the path the man was taking and set up roadblocks, trapping the car soon.

“It felt like we won the lottery,” Disley says. “The feeling of knowing she’s back with her family because of us is just unexplainable.”

24、   I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India. I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

【1】Which of the following best explains the author’s feeling of riding in a motor rickshaw?

A. Relaxed. B. Courageous.

C. Frightened. D. Excited.

【2】Why did so many people stare at the author at the station?

A. Because he was carrying a strange instrument.

B. Because his suitcase was too large for him.

C. Because he was a foreigner to the local people.

D. Because he couldn’t understand what they said.

【3】What do we know about the young man mentioned in the passage?

A. He wanted to learn to play tabla from the author.

B. He was a student on the way to a university.

C. He was a genuine and helpful university student.

D. He wished to find a job in Tilak Nagar.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. Traveling Is the Most Memorial Time B. A Warm-hearted Indian Student I Met

C. I Learn to Play the Tabla in India D. My First Train Travel in India
