21、 On winter, a fisherman — Jim Savage — was braving the freezing temperatures when he noticed a baby dolphin struggling to free herself from another fisherman’s traps — the netting. Jim spoke to her and she calmed down as he cut her free from the line. Seeing she was too tired to swim away, he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin, named her Winter and took her back to the center to get treatment.
Winter was placed in a holding tank and the team put a feeding tube in her throat. Soon, though, Winter learned how to eat from a bottle. But the line wrapping around Winter’s tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece. Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump (残肢). Though Winter did eventually start to swim, she taught herself an entirely original way — to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.
She learned very well and learned how to trust and love the people who cared for her. And she made a new non-human friend — Panama, another rescued dolphin. The two became lifelong friends, completely inseparable.
But her trainers were worried, her original moving way prevented her from growing properly. Then Kevin Carroll, a dolphin lover and maker of prosthetic limbs (假肢) for people, stepped in. With a team of experts, vets, and trainers, Kevin developed a new tail for Winter. Winter was retrained to use the device (装置) to swim properly, but with lots of hard work she did it!
Word about the disabled dolphin got it and everyone could relate to the dolphin. Now she seems to connect with everyone - from adults with prostheses to a little girl who didn’t want to wear her hearing aid until she met Winter.
【1】What made Winter calm down?
A.The netting.
B.Jim’s words.
C.The rescue team.
D.The new tail.
【2】Why did Jim phone the Wildlife Conservation Commission?
A.To cure the baby dolphin.
B.To deal with the fishing net.
C.To rescue the other fisherman.
D.To look at the baby dolphin.
【3】What made the trainers worried?
A.Winter’s relationship with Panama.
B.Winter’s popularity with visitors.
C.The effect of the damage on Winter.
D.Winter’s moving style like other dolphins.
【4】How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A.It’s beautiful.
B.It’s controversial.
C.It’s humorous.
D.It’s discouraging.

24、The World Economic Forum predicts the global population will hit 9.8 billion by 2050, which means we might need to grow as much as double the amount of food we do today and do it without significantly consuming limited resources such as land and water.
But there are reasons to be positive. Historically, human intelligence has risen to the population challenge. 8,000 years ago in the first agricultural revolution, the plough (犁) transformed productivity. In the 1 800s, inventions such as the seed drill brought a degree of mechanization to farming. Then, in the mid-20th century, there were major breakthroughs in artificial fertilizer and plant science.
Now, we are entering a fourth age of agriculture. Innovation is exploding. The digital transformation of agriculture is not theory. It’s real. And it’s having a huge impact across all aspects of farming.
In April 2020, Chinese drone (无人机) maker XAG organized a rice seeding demonstration in Guangdong province. First, it invited two workers to spread 5kg of rice seeds the traditional way- by wading across 1,200 square metres of waterlogged field. The laborious process took 25 minutes. Then it unleashed (释放) its XAG XPlanet drone on the same task. The unmanned aerial system followed a pre-programmed route and threw rice seeds from the air. It completed the job in 120 seconds. XAG claims its system can use up to 90 per cent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than traditional technique.
Barcelona-based startup Faromatics has also attracted a lot of attention for its EU-funded invention: a robot called the ChickenBoy. It lets chicken farmers autonomously monitor their stock. The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature, air quality, light and sound in poultry housing. Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChiekenBoy to send mobile alerts.
The task of feeding 9.8 billion mouths by 2050 is one of the greatest facing humanity, but thanks to technology, there is good reason to be confident for the future.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A．To express the author’s confidence in the human wisdom.
B．To tell us some challenges in the agricultural development.
C．To show us the present situation of the world food shortage.
D．To call on the government to take some effective measures.
【2】What is the advantage of XAG XPlanet drone?
A．It saves more money than the manual seeding.
B．It’s more efficient and environmentally friendly.
C．It can rapidly reduce wastage and improve yields.
D．It helps farmers make better decisions about seeding.
【3】What can be inferred about the ChickenBoy?
A．Its system needs to be improved.
B．It aims to attract farmers’ attention,
C．It was invented y a chicken farmer.
D．It helps farmers look after the chicken.
【4】What does “human intelligence” refer to in the passage?
A．Smart farming.
B．Agricultural revolution.
C．Plant science.
D．Artificial intelligence.
