21、Autistic (自闭症的) children are as known as “children of the stars”0 They may have difficulties communicating with other people. 【1】 By combining music with mobile technology, three students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have tried to help them with an app called Starrypia.
Tan Yilan, Zhang Junwei and Cai Yu spent five months building their AR-gamified therapy app for children with autism. Children use the app to scan things around them. 【2】 Then they rearrange the parts to create songs. The songs would be recorded in their music diaries.
“This is actually a kind of music therapy. 【3】 The process also trains their abilities.” said Tan. The app encourages children to scan and identify dolls, animals and plants. They even designed different levels, guiding users from their surroundings to nature.
According to the app’s developers, traditional music therapy is usually taken in hospitals. 【4】 But Starrypia makes the process more like a game. Besides, it can be used anytime and anywhere, making the therapy lighter and easier.
Starrypia will soon come out on the APP Store. 【5】 They will return the income to their families. When they tested the app on autistic children, they got good responses, not only in professional terms but also on the children’s faces. “I saw their smiles as they played with Starrypia, making everything worth it,” said Tan.
A．They are combining music with mobile technology.
B．Autistic children can better express themselves by it.
C．And they get parts of music as well as cartoon images.
D．The developers are also preparing to sell the music works.
E．The music therapy app is becoming more and more popular.
F．However, music can open their hearts as a kind of artistic language.
G．Autistic children sit in front of computers learning some music courses.
22、 A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, aiming to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.
In the past, when farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, they’ve used methods that aren’t always healthy for the environment—more fields, fertilizers (化肥), and pesticides (杀虫剂).
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 (小车)”.
The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. They can even do things humans can’t, like counting all of the small buds on a plant.
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 a lot of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow.
Studying each individual plant could save time and money. For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop.
The detailed information will also allow farmers to fertilize and water the plants that truly need it, meaning fewer plants will be spoiled and more food will be produced.
Currently, the Mineral team is working in countries around the world, Including Argentina, South Africa, and Canada, learning how computers and robots can help farmers produce more food in ways that are good for the environment.
【1】How did farmers increase production quickly in the past?
A.Improving soil. B.Employing robots.
C.Using more chemicals. D.Watering crops frequently.
【2】What inspired the invention of the “plant buggies”?
A.The use of the robots. B.Suggestions of farmers.
C.The team’s experiments. D.Research on farming problems.
【3】What can the robots do?
A.Control a plant’s size. B.Collect detailed information.
C.Change a plant’s location. D.Get rid of diseased plants.
【4】Which words best describe the new farming method?
A.Energy-consuming and chemical-free.
B.Efficient and chemical-free.
C.Environmentally-friendly and land-occupying.
D.Efficient and environmentally-friendly.
