26、A few decades ago, farmers often had the skills and tools needed to quickly make repairs if their machinery (机器) broke down. These days, however, it’s not that simple. Most modern farm equipment is technologically advanced, containing computers and sensors that collect and transmit data. As a result, specific software tools are necessary to deal with mechanical failures.
However, most companies refuse to make those tools available to farmers. They can’t even go to an independent mechanic, since manufacturers (制造商) won’t sell them parts or tools either. This leaves farmers no choice but to take their broken equipment to a licensed dealership (特许经销店).
This isn’t cheap. A farmer might spend thousands of dollars on a simple adjustment. On the other hand, this arrangement has proven lucrative for manufacturers. For example, Deere& Company, a major American manufacturer of farm machinery, can earn up to six times more money with parts and repairs than selling equipment itself.
But money isn’t the only problem-it’s also a matter of time. Oftentimes on a farm, tasks like planting and harvesting have to be done within a window of just a few days when the conditions are just right. If machinery breaks during that window and a dealership can’t make an appointment immediately, the wait can cut severely into the farmers’ annual yields and income.
There’s also the issue of privacy. Equipment manufacturers collect lots of data about soil, weather, and other factors, which they can then share with or sell to others. Even worse are other potential security risks. Because most modern machines can be operated and shut off remotely, some farmers and experts worry that hackers could disable thousands of machines at a time. Such an act could affect the entire country’s agricultural production, threatening livelihoods and food security.
【1】What is the major concern of farmers?
A．The poor skills to use farm equipment.
B．The rising prices to buy modern machinery.
C．The old software to maintain farm equipment.
D．The limited choice to repair modern machinery.
【2】What does the underlined word “lucrative” mean in the third paragraph?
A．Profitable.
B．Useful.
C．Impossible.
D．Popular.
【3】How can a machinery breakdown affect farmers during harvest time?
A．They must work extra hours.
B．They must handle security risks.
C．They may suffer economic losses.
D．They may experience staff shortage.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A．To comment on the danger of big data.
B．To point out the influence of high technology.
C．To put forward a method to increase farm yields.
D．To argue for farmers’ right to repair their machines.
27、Once upon a time, there was a farmer with foresight and wit. The story of his resourcefulness is still widely publicized. The most wonderful one is the story of how he once played tricks on the devil.
One day, the farmer worked in the field all day. When it was dark, he was preparing to go home. Suddenly, he found a pile of coal burning in his field. He was very surprised, so he went up to have a look and found a little black devil walking on the burning pile of coal. “Are you sitting on the treasure?” Asked the farmer. “It’s the treasure.” The devil replied, “and more than you’ve seen in your life!” “If the treasure is in my field, it belongs to me.” Said the farmer. “It’s yours!” The devil said, “as long as you are willing to give me half of the harvest in two years. I have plenty of money, but I prefer the fruit on the ground.” The farmer agreed to the deal and said, “in order to avoid disputes in our distribution, everything on the soil belongs to you and everything under the soil belongs to me.” The devil was satisfied, but the clever farmer planted carrots.
Now the harvest season has come, and the devil has come again, asking for his harvest. But he got nothing except those withered and yellow leaves; But the farmer was happily digging his radish. “You took advantage of it this time,” said the devil. “You can’t do it next time. The ground belongs to you and the underground belongs to me.” “Whatever you want.” The farmer replied. It’s time to sow again. This time, instead of sowing radishes, he planted wheat. When the wheat was ripe, he came to the field and cut the straw to the ground. The devil came again. Seeing that he got nothing except stubble, he turned around and walked along the stone crack. “That’s how I tricked the devil.” With that, the farmer quickly picked up the treasure and went home.

28、If you’re not into a roller coaster, but you still want the thrill of an amusement park ride, perhaps a sky wheel is more your speed. Here’s a look the four tallest examples standing in the world today.
Aln Dubal, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Located in the Dubai Marina, the Ain Dubai, opened in 2021, is the tallest sky wheel in the world with a height of 820 feet. It’s capable of carrying 1,750 passengers on a single rotation(旋转). One rotation of Ain Dubai takes 38 minutes, and you can even have a birthday party or a wedding in one of the capsules!
High Roller, Las Vegas, Nevada
At 550 feet tall, it opened in 2014 as the tallest sky wheel in the world and held the record for seven years until it was replaced by the Ain Dubai. The High Roller has a total carrying capacity of 1, 120. And in case you get bored of the view, each capsule is equipped with eight flat screen televisions.
Singapore Flyer, Singapore
The Singapore Flyer opened in downtown Singapore on April 15, 2008. The giant wheel stands at 541 feet tall. Each of its 28 air-conditioned capsules can hold 28 passengers. A few months after opening in 2008, the Singapore Flyer changed directions to bring good fortune.
Star of Nanchang, Nanchang, China
The Star of Nanchang, built in 2006, stands at 525 feet tall and is located in Nanchang, China, the capital of Jiangxi Province.

29、Collin was lying on his back when his sister, Mary, came in. From her red eyes, Collin could tell she felt homesick again.
Their family had moved to the Moon nearly four months ago. It still didn’t feel like home. The houses were cosy, but outside everything was gray and rocky and lifeless. There was even no weather there at all—no rain or snow or even wind.
“I miss everything, even the sound of rain on the roof,” Mary said sadly. “Worst of all, my birthday is in two days, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are planning anything special.”
She’s probably right, thought Collin. Life on the Moon was busy for scientists like their parents. He doubted if they had time to plan a party. If there was no party, maybe he could give his sister a gift. However, with limited room in their transport ship, each child had been allowed to bring only two toys from the Earth. Where could he find the gift?
The next day, as Collin wandered toward the agricultural center, he found some bamboo plants, which made good building materials. An idea flashed across his mind. He took a piece of bamboo plants, made tiny holes into it, then poured a handful of Moon cobblestones inside and sealed the open ends.
When it was done, Collin hurried home, holding the bamboo piece carefully. On seeing his sister, Collin said, “I have a present for you.” He handed his sister the bamboo stick. “Happy birthday!”
“What is it?” Mary asked, looking at it curiously.
“A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the Moon cobblestones fall inside and it sounds like rain.”
Mary turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.
“It’s Moon rain!” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m home.” She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again.
【1】According to the text, what do we know about the Moon?
A．Life there is busy.
B．Its weather is changeable.
C．Living space there is limited.
D．Its surroundings are dull.
【2】Why was the bamboo-made rain stick a delight for Mary?
A．It created a rain scene.
B．It was her dream birthday gift.
C．It alleviated her homesickness.
D．It was made of good materials.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Collin?
A．Curious and careful.
B．Caring and skillful.
C．Creative and enthusiastic.
D．Sensitive and knowledgeable.
30、Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly.

We are so used to constant activity that we find it ________ to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a ________ . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen ________ to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕作) of the ________ or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace.

We use both words and body language to e【1】our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by w【2】 their body language.
