23、Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.
Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.
Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?
Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?
【1】From paragraph 1, we can know ________.
A．why early human beings cut skin from dead animals
B．how early human beings discovered the tools
C．what early human beings used the tools for
D．what food early human beings stored
【2】The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ________.
A．was very important to the development of mankind
B．led to the invention of machines in the early time
C．developed cooking abilities of mankind
D．was one of the first tools of mankind
【3】The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to ________.
A．show the changes of tools
B．introduce a new kind of tool
C．give an example of using tools
D．compare the effects of two kinds of tools
【4】At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ________.
A．out of order

C．hard to predict
D．full of meanings
24、Agricultural scientists in Switzerland have demonstrated the long-term effect of organic farming methods. Organic farms use no man-made chemicals to increase crops or control insects and disease. The study showed that organic fields produced fewer crops, on average, than other fields. However, the scientists say the organic methods improved the health of the soil and used half as much energy.
The Swiss scientists compared the effects of organic and traditional farming methods over a period of more than twenty years. They grew crops on four fields of land in Switzerland. Two fields were grown using traditional farming methods. The others were grown using organic farming methods. The crops and soil use were similar in all the fields studied.
The study found that the organic fields produced about 20% fewer crops than the other fields. However, the farmers used less fertilizer and energy on the organic fields. They found the organic fields were healthier.
The scientists say the organic fields had more nutrients in the soil. The soils in the organic fields also had more biological activity than the other fields. The organic fields had more helpful organisms and a larger number of different organisms. The organic fields had almost two times as many insects, including helpful insects. In traditional farming, chemicals designed to kill harmful insects also kill helpful ones.
The researchers say the findings show that organic crop production rates change little over time, and that soil fertility increases. They say the finds suggest that organic farmers can help the environment by increasing soil fertility.
Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular in some countries. Many people believe that eating organic food is more healthful than eating food grown with chemicals. Some people are willing to pay more money to buy organic food.
【1】What does the study show about the organic methods?
A．They have more output than other fields.
B．They benefit the health of the human and the soil.
C．They use more energy than traditional ones.
D．They can control diseases without using any chemicals.
【2】In what way do the researchers carry out the experiment?
A．Selecting the best seeds.
B．Using the latest technology.
C．Applying different methods.
D．Planting crops in special soils.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning organic fields?
A．Its strengths.
B．Its products.
C．Its application.
D．Its shortage.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A．No insects exist in organic fields.
B．Organic farming is environment-friendly.
C．People can’t afford organic food at present.
D．Organic crop production rate increases rapidly.
