Unit2 Reading and Thinking 综合练素养提升
一、阅读理解
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 panies 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 it through the fields in search of puter-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂). 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 amount of chemical 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 as the world’s first smart sprayer. The system—which connects 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 Technology, explains in a company video that “See & Spray” technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweed—and now it’s an expert in pigweed. ”
1. How will AI benefit agriculture
A. It will fund agriculture research.
B. It contributes to low-cost farming.
C. It can avoid harmful chemicals.
D. It frees all farmers from field work.
2. What do the products of the two companies have in common
A. They use recognition technology.
B. They are powered by solar energy.
C. They are connected with smart phones.
D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.
3. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. It is good at self-improving.
C. It has the learning ability.
D. It can track various plants.
4. What is mainly talked about in the text
A. The experiment in farming robots.
B. New trend in artificial intelligence.
C. Modem “See & Spray” technology.
D. Artificial intelligence in agriculture.

一、阅读理解
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。农业是研究和开发人工智能的重要行业之一。文章介绍了两家公司开发的高科技工具，可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱，同时减少对环境有害的化学物质的使用。
1. B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or Al, is panies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money，while reducing environment-harming chemical. ” 可知，人工智能通过帮助农民节省时间和金钱即降低成本造福农业，故选B项。
2. A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “It created a robot equipped with Al and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. ” 和最后段中的“The system-which connects to the back of a tractor-is also equipped with Al to identify and chemically kill only the weed可知，这两家公司产品的共同之处是他们都使用识别技术，故选A项。
3. C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中本·乔斯特纳的话可知，该技术使用了与人脸识别技术相同的深度学习方法。在人们教它大量例子之后，它由不认识藜草转变成为藜草专家，所以他的话表明这个机器人有学习能力，故选C项。
4. D【解析】主旨大意题。第二段中的“One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence，or Al，is agriculture. "是全文的主题句，结合全文内容可知，这篇文章主要讲了人工智能在农业中的应用，故选D项。
二、课文语法填空
1. which【解析】句意：这些事情经常发生在我们身上，它们会引起问题。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，先行词为things，故填 which。
2. will be living【解析】句意：然而，在不久的将来，我们将生活在会自动锁门、自动关电视的智能家居里。根据句意可知，此处表示的是一种对将来的预测，应用将来进行时，故填 will be living。
3. automatically【解析】此处应用副词作状语，故填 automatically。
4. more comfortable【解析】句意：这些智能家居将为我们提供一个更舒适的环境。根据上下文可知此处暗含一种与现在的比较，故填比较级 more comfortable。
5. preferences【解析】句意：你的（智能）家居会了解你的日常生活习惯和喜好，所以当你每天晚上到家时，一切都会为你准备好。preference在这里作可数名词，表泛指，意为“偏爱的事物”，应用名词的复数形式，故填 preferences。
6. instantly【解析】句意：每天晚上你一进家门，灯就会亮起，还有你最喜欢的音乐（会自动播放）。表示“就……”应用。
7. what【解析】句意：所有的开关都会对语音命令做出反应，所以你只要说出你想要的东西，家居系统就会遵照执行。设空处引导宾语从句，并在从句中作want的宾语，表示“想要的东西”，故填what。
8. to sleep【解析】句意：此外，它将给你关于健康饮食和怎样睡得更好的建议。此处为“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构，故填 to sleep。
9. Nevertheless【解析】句意：这种智能技术并非幻想。不过，大多数新家居还需要几年才能开始使用它。此处表示转折，故填Nevertheless。
10. before【解析】“it will take+时间段+ before…. ”意为“要过才…”，故填 before。
