What does precision farming aim to do? 10 During reading(Para. 1) What is the deep-rooted image of a traditional farmer? √ 11 During reading(Para. 1) What cause this image to be changed? The deep-rooted image changed by the collaboration between farming and technology which has given rise to precision farming… (同义：a combination of….; an integration of….) 12 During reading(Para. 1) What does precision farming aim to do? A. To help farmers and government save agricultural costs. B. To improve work efficiency and improve production. C. To reduce the economic burden of farmers. D. To improve food production and conserve the environment. 13 During reading(Para. 2) What does the newest wave of creation offer farmers? What can farmer do with the massive amounts of data? During reading(Para. 2) What does the newest wave of creation offer farmers? information that is more detailed, measurements that are more accurate and solutions that are more effective During reading(Para. 2) What can farmer do with the massive amounts of data? Farmers are able to: give the best possible care to the crops that most need in real time put their resources to the best use minimize potential threats to the environment by reducing unnecessary chemicals (an added bonus) During reading(Para. 3) What are the different application capabilities that precision farming has? What do you think the phrase “the big picture” in Line 26 refer to? During reading(Para. 3) What are the different application capabilities that precision farming has? monitoring, diagnosing, identifying and targeting. Field sensors check the soil’s moisture, nutrient levels and pH levels, enabling farmers to monitor their crops at any time, from anywhere. monitoring diagnosing As the data library builds up, the big picture of the soil is revealed so that farmers are able to accurately assess the condition of the soil in real time, identify potential problems and work out solutions accordingly. identifying targeting potential problems work out solutions During reading(Para. 3) What do you think the phrase “the big picture” in Line 26 refer to? A. The moisture of the soil. B. The layers of the soil. C. The general condition of the soil. D. The nutrient levels and pH levels of the soil. During reading(Para. 4) Why is AI technology ideal for precision farming? A. It is efficient and accurate. B. It is controlled by farmers. C. It needs no farming machine. D. It has completely replaced farmers. AI does contribute to increased crop yields as well as simplified crop tracking, harvesting and processing AI-controlled machines can plant and harvest more crops at faster speeds computer vision can distinguish weeds from crops Algorithms based on data gathered by sensors, drones and satellites can work out site-specific management of the crops 20 During reading(Para. 5) Why will the push for future developments in precision farming benefit all of us? Because precision farming will become more effective and have an even greater impact on how we grow our food. Because it will contribute to a greener, healthier and better-fed planet. 1.3 AFTER READING Introduction Main body Conclusion Modern technology Application capabilities Artificial intelligence After reading(B1) In recent years, the rapid growth in the urban population (1) __________________ a decline in agricultural land.

Vertical farming uses urban spaces for the highest possible crop yields. It promotes soil-free systems, which require no pesticides, so the farming method is eco-friendly. As an added (3) _______, farmers can grow crops all year round in this artificial farming environment without worrying about abnormal weather, which often leads to crop losses. (4) ______ for urban areas, vertical farming has taken off in many countries, where the view of buildings “growing” green leaves provides a refreshing contrast to a concrete jungle of offices and flats.
