(2024·福建师大附中高二上期末)When most people think of drones (无人机), they think of technology and fun.Safe to say, few people would think about farming.However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well.
Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating.According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community.“We really want to help farming and
agriculture.It's superimportant to America and our economy,”Blayde says.“We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂).”
The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff.Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need—and what they don't.
However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage.Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination.
“We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well—and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power,”she says.“The fields are a couple hundred acres(英亩), so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field.”
Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍来自宾夕法尼亚约克学院的一群学生正在建造一架无人机,帮助当地农民和保护环境。
4.What does the underlined word “perks” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Challenges.
B.Features.
C.Benefits.
D.Solutions.
解析:选C。词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,不用把钱花在化肥和杀虫剂上应该是好处,由此猜测perks意为“好处,益处”,和C选项Benefits同义。故选C。
5.What particular usage is the drone designed for?
A.Spreading proper quantities of pesticides.
B.Helping to determine the chemicals needed.
C.Assisting to monitor the state of crops.
D.Measuring the areas of the fields.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第三段“Ideally, that data gained will help...what they don't”可知,他们的想法是设计和建造一架无人机,它可以拍摄田地的视频图像,获得的数据将帮助农民更好地确定他们需要什么化学品,不需要什么化学品。故选B。
6.What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled?
A.Its camera capacity.
B.Its data collection ability.
C.Its durability and control.
D.Its material and efficiency.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第四段“However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage.Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination.”可知,制作无人机遇到了挑战,需要解决无人机的耐用性和控制能力。故选C。
7.What can best describe the students?
A.Disciplined and realistic.
B.Experienced and reliable.
C.Humble and reserved.
D.Responsible and creative.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第二段“We really want to help farming and agriculture...”可推知,他们是有责任心的;再根据第三段“The idea is to design and build a drone that...”可推知,他们是有创造力的。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五(每题2.5分,共12.5分)
The interconnected life that spends all, or part, of its life in the soil is called the soil food web.It is integral to a healthy soil structure and, in turn, to growing healthy plants.1( ) Here are our top five:
Limit soil disturbance
Imagine your soil food web as a spider web.Break the spider silk and the whole web will be damaged.2( ) If the earthworm tunnels are destroyed by digging, the entire soil food web will be impacted.That's why nodig gardening practices are becoming commonplace.
Restore overly compacted (坚实的) soils
3( ) Compacted soils prevent the movement of water and air.Restoring compacted soils ensures that each part of the soil food web gets the water and air it needs.
Mulch (用护根覆盖) regularly
Mulching simply means adding leaves or other organic matter to the surface of your soil.Mulching goes hand in hand with nodig gardening.It is easy to do and should be part of any gardener's routine.Mulching not only adds valuable organic matter but is also an excellent way to suppress weeds (抑制杂草).
Avoid nonorganic fertilizers
Using chemical fertilizers in the garden effectively creates dead soil, resulting in plants that become dependent on more and more of these fertilizers simply to survive.4( ) And, if you grow vegetables to eat, they are also considered unhealthy.
Plant a diverse garden and practice crop rotation (作物轮作)
Growing a range of plants and practicing crop rotation has been shown to greatly increase the diversity of organisms in the soil food web.5( )
A.It prevents nutrient loss in the soil.
B.This is dangerous and unnecessary.
C.Much the same is true with the soil food web.
D.This is how the mined nutrients become available to plants.
E.This increase in biodiversity translates to greater nutrient availability and soil fertility.
F.There are many simple changes that every gardener can make to support life in the soil.
G.As with most living systems, the soil food web needs the right amount of water and air to thrive.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章列举了建立健康的土壤食物网的几点建议。
1.解析:选F。设空处承上启下,起过渡作用。设空处上文指出健康的土壤结构对植物生长的重要性,设空处下文说明文章将会列举五个具体举措,由此可推知,设空处应当指出存在很多维持土壤生命的方法,F项符合语境。F项中的support life in the soil与上文中的a healthy soil structure相照应,F项中的many simple changes与下文中的top five相呼应。
2.解析:选C。设空处承接上文,与下文为解释关系。本段将土壤食物网与蜘蛛网作类比,设空处上文指出一旦蜘蛛丝断了,整张蜘蛛网就会被破坏,设空处应当在此基础上进一步说明二者的相似性,C项符合语境。设空处下文对C项作出了具体的解释。
3.解析:选G。设空处位于段首,起引出话题的作用。根据小标题及本段内容可知,本段主要说明为了保证土壤内有足够的空气和水分流通。要修复过度压实的土壤,G项符合语境。G项中的needs the right amount of water and air与下文中的gets the water and air it needs相照应。
4.解析:选B。设空处进一步说明上文内容。设空处上文指出使用化学肥料会让土壤失去生命力,导致植物生长越来越依赖这些肥料,由此可推知,使用化学肥料是有害的,B项符合语境。B项中的This指代上文中的Using chemical fertilizers。
5.解析:选E。设空处位于段末,承接上文。根据小标题及本段内容可知,本段主要说明种植多样植物和进行作物轮作可以增加土壤食物网中有机生物的多样性,设空处承接上文,说明这对土壤肥力产生的积极作用,E项符合语境。E项中的This increase in biodiversity与上文中的increase the diversity of organisms相照应。
