AI in Agriculture The integration of artificial intelligence(AI)into agriculture is transforming traditional farming practices,offering innovative solutions to challenges like climate change,labor shortages,and food security.Here are key applications of AI in modern agriculture: Precision Farming AI-powered sensors and drones collect real-time data on soil moisture,nutrient levels,and crop health.Machine learning algorithms (analyze the data to optimize water irrigation,fertilizer use, and pest control.For example,a farmer in California reduced water usage by 30%using AI-guided irrigation systems. Crop Disease Detection AI image recognition tools can identify plant diseases early by analyzing photos of leaves or fruits. A study by the University of Tokyo showed that AI systems achieved 98%accuracy in detecting tomato blight(枯菱病)，far surpassing human capabilities.. Autonomous Farming Equipment Self-driving tractors and harvesters equipped with AI navigate fields,plant seeds,and harvest crops with minimal human intervention.These machines use GPS and computer vision to avoid obstacles and ensure precise operations. Yield Prediction By processing historical data,weather patterns,and satellite imagery,AI models predict crop yields months in advance.This helps governments and organizations plan food distribution and prevent shortages.In India,AI-based predictions helped farmers increase wheat production by 15%in 2024. Livestock Monitoring Wearable AI devices track animal health,detecting illnesses or stress through changes in movement, temperature,or vocalizations.Dairy farms in the Netherlands reported a 20%drop in cattle mortality 亡率)after adopting AI monitoring systems. 第5页，共12页 Despite its benefits,we must be alert to the challenges Al's widespread adoption faces,such as high initial costs and the need for digital infrastructure in rural areas.However,as technology becomes more accessible,AI is poised (to play a vital role in sustainable agriculture. 51.What is the main purpose of Al in precision farming? A.To use machines and computers in farming to replace humans B.To increase the overall agricultural crop yield directly. C.To reduce water and fertilizer usage via data analysis. D.To get rid of crop pests and related diseases completely. 52.How do AI tools help in crop disease detection? A.By planting specific disease-resistant crop seeds. B.By analyzing digital images of plants to identify diseases. C.By accurately predicting future local weather patterns. D.By detecting tomato diseases to improve production. 53.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A.AI yield forecasts ignore environmental factors like weather conditions. B.Self-driving farm machinery uses location tracking and visual sensors. C.Livestock wearable in the Netherlands raised cattle mortality by 20%. D.Tomato blight detection by AI had lower accuracy than human assessments. 54.According to the last paragraph,what is essential for AI's widespread adoption? A.Increasing the availability of new systems B.The high initial costs. C.Teaching farmers more technologies. D.Promoting sustainable agriculture. B Not so long ago,most people didn't know who Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high athlete.There was every indication that she was just another Jamaican teenager without much of a future.However,one person wanted to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly-Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginnings of true greatness.Her times were not exactly impressive,but even so,he sensed there was something trying to get out,something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training sessions.Their cooperation quickly produced results,and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic trials in early 2008, Shelly-Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint. "Where did she come from?"asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding that she must 第6页，共12页 be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly-Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympics she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 metres Olympic gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championships in Berlin,becoming world champion with a time of 10.73-the fourth fastest time ever. Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance.Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless.She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse,where she lived in a one-room apartment,sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and overpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby.Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty.One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track,and she was ready to sacrifice everything. It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of sports. But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that.The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing,the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days."I have so much fire burning for my country,"Shelly said.She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse.She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons.She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world. As Muhammad Ali puts it,"Champions aren't made in gyms.Champions are made from something they have deep inside them.A desire,a dream,a vision."One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth. 55.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann? A.He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble. B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses. C.She had big problems maintaining her performance. 第7页，共12页 D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets. 56.What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games? A.She would become a promising star.B.She badly needed to set higher goals. C.Her sprinting career would not last long.D.Her talent for sprinting was known to all. 57.What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track? A.Her success and lessons in her career.B.Her interest in Shelly-Ann's quick profit. C.Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.D.Her early entrance into the sprinting world. 58.What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5? A.She was highly rewarded for her efforts.B.She was eager to do more for her country. C.She became an athletic star in her country.D.She was the envy of the whole community. 59.By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words,the author intends to tell us that A.players should be highly inspired by coaches B.great athletes need to concentrate on patience C.hard work is necessary in one's achievements D.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top 60.What is the best title for the passage? A.The Making of a Great Athlete B.The Dream for Championship C.The Key to High Performance D.The Power of Full Responsibility C Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50-minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress,she and her teenage patient got wet.But when they made it back indoors,Jennifer said,"Hey,look at us!We're wet,but we got through it!Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event."This kind of insight is key to her practice. Jennifer,a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents,has been a therapist()for 20 years.For most of that time,she practiced in a traditional office,but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems.After doing some research,in 2013,Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy,where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors.She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather. "When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy,I say,No,that's how I practice,"" Udler said."I specialize in family systems theory.Walking in the park is just where I practice." Despite the lack of formal research,Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits,saying that it can be helpful."We'll be talking about 'moving forward'as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind." And outdoor walking therapy doesn't just benefit teens.Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors. 第8页，共12页 61.What lesson did Jennifer teach her teenage patient through the rain?

D Effective Friday,Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA)has declared a strike against 11 video game publishers over games that went into production after Feb.17,2015.The companies include some of the heavyweights of the industry,like Electronic Arts Productions,Insomniac Games,Activision and Disney. The strike comes in light of an unsuccessful 19 months of negotiations after the existing labor contract known as the Interactive Media Agreement expired in late 2014.Overall,the strike is an effort to provide more secondary compensation along with other concerns,such as transparency upon hiring talent and on-.set(制作中)safety precautions. The video gaming industry has ballooned in recent years.The Los Angeles Times reports that the industry is in the midst of an intense increase in cash flow.In 2015,gaming produced $23.5 billion in domestic revenue. But SAG-AFTRA says voice actors don't receive residuals(追加酬金)for their gaming work. Instead,they receive a fixed rate,which is typically about $825 for a standard four-hour vocal session.So the voice actors are pushing for the idea of secondary compensation-a performance bonus every time a 第9页，共12页 game sells 2 million copies or downloads,or reaches 2 million subscribers,with a cap at 8 million. "It's a very small number of games that would trigger this secondary compensation issue,"said voice actor Crispin Freeman,who's a member of the union's negotiating committee."This is an important aspect of what it means to be a freelance(从事自由职业的)performer,who isn't regularly enjoyed every single day working on projects." Another major complaint from the actors is the secrecy of the industry."I can't imagine if there's any other acting job in the world where you don't know what show you're in,when you're hired,says voice actor Keythe Farley,who chairs the SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee. "And yet that happens every day in the video game world,"Farley told reporters during a press conference Friday."I was a main character in Fallout 4,a character by the name of Kellogg,and I never knew that I was doing vocal recording for that game throughout the year and a half." Scott Witlin,the lawyer representing the video game companies,says voice actors "represent less than one tenth of 1 percent of the work that goes into making a video game."So"even though they're the top craftsmen in their field,"Witlin says,"if we pay them under a vastly different system than the people who do the 99.9 percent of the work,that's going to create far more problems for the video game companies.” 66.Why did SAG-AFTRA declare a strike against some video game publishers? A.It had been cheated repeatedly in the 19 months of talks. B.The labor contract between them had been violated. C.The negotiations between them had broken down. D.Its appeal to renegotiate the contract had been rejected. 67.What do we learn from the passage about the video gaming industry? A.It has invested a lot in its domestic market. B.It has attracted many famous voice actors. C.It has become more open and transparent. D.It has gained huge profits in recent years. 68.What are the voice actors demanding? A.Extra pay based on sales revenues. B.A non-discriminatory contract. C.A limit on the maximum work hours.D.More regular employment. 69.What does Keythe Farley say about voice actors? A.They are not paid on a regular basis. B.They are kept in the dark about many details of their job. C.They are discriminated against in the gaming industry. D.They are not employed full-time. 70.What is the argument of lawyer Scott Witlin? 第10页，共12页
