The long, white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms. Like other robots, it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs.
Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander’s indoor robot farm, about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco. The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil. The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water. The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight.
This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run. The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm, from small containers to larger ones as they grow. Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet. Angus moves slowly to complete its work. But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms.
For now, the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready. But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too.
Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google, where he worked on robotics at the company’s Google x project. He teamed up with another former Google employee, Jon Binney. Together they founded Iron Ox.
Iron Ox’s website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water. It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land.
Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and fresh product. Most of the vegetables sold in the U.S. are grown in California, Arizona, Mexico and other nations. That means that many people in U.S. cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores.
Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather. This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes.
1. How does Angus work in the farm
A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants.
B. It directs other robots to work in the farm.
C. It works on collecting vegetables.
D. It is in charge of transferring plants.
2. What do we know about Alexander
A. He used to work on robotics at Google.
B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney.
C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready.
D. He started Iron Ox by himself.
3. What’s the advantage of Alexander’s farm
A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price.
B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious.
C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight.
D. It uses less water but produces more.
4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Robot Farm, the Future of the Agriculture
B. Robot Farm, Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US Cities
C. Alexander, an Extraordinary Scientist on Robotics
D. Hydroponic System, the New Way of Farming
IV.完形填空

Dear Tom,
I am excited to tell you that the first Science and Technology Festival was held in our school last month,which aimed at enriching us students’ school life and promoting the students’ awareness of innovation.
There were a variety of activities in the festival, which included Makers on Campus, where participants could show their designs and products, and an exhibition of the students’ original inventions, designs and literary works. With the enthusiastic participation and support of all the students, the activity turned out a great success. I was astonished at the schoolmates’ creativity and teamwork spirits.
I do hope more activities will be held in my school to provide us with chances to practice our critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Yours,
Li Hua
