I.阅读理解(共4小题:每小题5分,满分20分)》
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Nearly every week,we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless
vehicles.But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of
technology.One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence,
or AI,is agriculture.Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers
save time and money,while reducing environment-harming chemicals.
One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland.It created a robot equipped with AI
and cameras to identify all plants on a farm.The robot has four wheels to carry itself through
the fields in search of weeds.Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with
small amounts of herbicide ()Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its
own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun.It uses the same kind of sensor
and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles.A farmer can also control the
equipment through a smartphone.
The co-founder of ecoRobotix,Aurelien Demaurex,says the farm robot can kill weeds
with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods.This is because the system uses exactly
the right chemical amount in the exact place required to kill the weeds.Currently,farmers
spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.
Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology.
The company has a system called"See &Spray",which it claims was the world's first smart
sprayer.The system-which is connected to the back of a tractor-is also equipped with AI to
identify and chemically kill only the weeds.It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to
help them grow.Ben Chostner,vice president of business development for Blue River
