24、In a field in England, three little robots have been given a great job: to find and kill grass before planting seeds (种子) in the soil.
The robots are named Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom is the first of the three clever robots to start working. He watches the crops (庄稼) carefully and collects the information about each plant. He can create a short introduction to each plant and even make decisions on what chemicals are needed for your crops.
Dick does the dirty work. He can go to each plant that is doing bad to the crops and take it out. Plants that are good for the crops are left. He can force small drops of chemicals out of a bottle or something to cover plants in order to keep them healthy.
Harry is a planter. He digs holes into the field and puts seeds into the ground, and records where he puts them. If a seed doesn’t grow, he can easily travel there and plants a new seed.
The smart robots are made by Small Robot. The British company says farmers could reduce costs by 40% and chemical usage by up to 95%. The little robots allow farmers to free their soils from chemicals. Using less chemicals is going to save much money and is good for the environment. As well as reducing the use of chemicals, robots will bring us better soil quality and more plants and animals.
“We have to change farming now, or else there won’t be anything to farm,” says Small Robot.
【1】Which may be used by Dick?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【2】What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The harm that chemicals cause.
B.The cost farmers spend on farming.
C.The advantages that the farming robots bring.
D.A famous company that produces robots.
【3】Which is the best structure (结构) of this passage?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5 ⑥=Paragraph 6)
A.
B.
C.
D.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Living a Modern Life With Robots.
B.Changes In Farming By Robots.
C.Protecting Plants With Robots.
D.The History of Fanning Robots.
25、As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.
One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earthscraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.
Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .
The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.
In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in 2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees and grass.
【1】What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space?
A.People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.
B.Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.
C.The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.
D.People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.
【2】Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico?
A.People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.
B.People should have enough living space in the city.
C.People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.
D.People should have buildings within the height requirement.
【3】What does the word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.questions
B.light and waste
C.people
D.fire or floods
【4】What can you infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.
B.Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.
C.Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.
D.Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.
【5】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Cities are building wonderful hotels like Shanghai.
B.Cities are suffering from many problems.
C.Underground cities can grow plants and trees.
D.Underground cities will be the choice of future.

Amy | I want to hand my homework in on time and never forget to do it, but I’m terrible at getting myself organized! So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post a comment below. I’m hoping we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills. |
Comments | |
Matt | Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on my computer. I make a backup (做备份) of important documents (文件). I delete things I don’t need any more and put everything into the correct folder. |
Linda | My tip is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think. |
Jordan | Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big board in your bedroom, divided into different parts. I’ve got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a part for each school subject and another one for other things. I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I erase something off the board! |

27、 It is reported that Stephen Hawking, the most famous physicist of his time, has died at the age of 76.

In his 2013 book My Brief History, Hawking told his readers about his illness. “I felt it was very unfair—why should this happen to me?” He added, “At the time, I thought my life was over.” “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he wrote. His goal was that he could understand the universe completely. He was also a big supporter of human space travel to the Moon and Mars. “We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems(太阳系),” he said last year.
