六、阅读理解。
Have you ever taken a trip to a fruit garden You probably have a great experience. But you may not know this: it takes workers a great deal of time and effort to take care of the fruit trees as well as pick the fruit. It’s really hard work. To help the workers, a robot has come to a peach garden in Georgia, the USA.
The robot uses a sensing system and excellent GPS technology. They help the robot find its way through the peach garden easily. Once at a peach tree, the robot uses a 3D camera to decide which peaches need to be picked. Then it gets the peaches with a “hand” that is connected to the end of its arm.
The robot will play a role in two very important parts of peach growing: tree pruning and tree thinning. Pruning means properly removing(去除) some branches. In this way, more surface areas of the peach trees can get sunlight. Then the trees will grow better.
Thinning is picking small or undeveloped peaches from peach trees, which can allow bigger and better peaches to grow. Those better ones are what the owners really want. They are easy to sell on the fruit market.
However, the robot can’t fully take the place of humans in the two parts now. That’s because of the special environment of the peach garden. The weather always changes. The land is not always dry. And the trees have different shapes and sizes. All these factors can influence the way the robot operates. To solve the problem, the robot company is working hard to improve the robot, but there is still a long way to go.
根据语篇内容,选择最佳答案。
1.According to Paragraph 1, it’s ________ to grow fruit.( )
A
A.difficult B.easy C.boring
2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.( )
B
A.what technology the robot has

C.how the robot finds its way through the garden
3.How does the robot do the tree pruning ( )
B
A.It cuts down some trees.
B.It makes tree branches fewer.
C.It picks undeveloped peaches.
4.In the future, the robot will be able to ________ in the peach
garden.( )
C
A.pick peaches faster
B.report the weather
C.work in different conditions
5.What’s the best title for the passage ( )
C
A.A trip to a peach garden
B.Problems of peach growing

简单句和复合句之间的转换(一)
1.宾语从句与简单句的转换
(1)在含有由that引导的宾语从句的复合句中,当主句谓语动词为find、notice、hear、see、think等动词时,可用“宾语+宾语补足语”将宾语从句转换成简单句。“宾语+宾语补足语”中的宾语补足语可以是形容词、名词、介词短语、动词原形或v.-ing形式。例如:
I found that he was very clever.
→I found him very clever. 我发现他很聪明。

→We don’t know what to do next. 我们不知道接下来要做什么。
2.结果、目的状语从句与简单句的转换
(1)“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句转换为简单句时,有以下几种情况:

Peter ran so fast that he got the first place.→Peter ran fast enough to get the first place. 彼得跑得如此之快以至于得了第一名。
②当主、从句主语不一致,that从句为肯定句时,可用“...enough for sb. to do sth.”来转换。此时,要注意不定式后不得再重复接宾语。例如:
The question is so easy that everyone can answer it.
→The question is easy enough for everyone to answer. 这个问题很简单,每个人都能回答。
③当主、从句主语一致,that从句为否定句时,可用“too...to...”来转换。例如:
Alice was so tired that she couldn’t walk any farther.
→Alice was too tired to walk any farther. 爱丽丝太累了,走不动了。
④当主、从句主语不一致,that从句为否定句时,可用“too...for sb. to...”来转换。例如:
The article is so difficult that we can’t understand it.
→The article is too difficult for us to understand.
(2)当由so that引导的目的状语从句主语与主句的主语相同时,可用“in order to...”将从句转换成简单句。例如:
They work hard so that they can get into a good high school.
→They work hard in order to get into a good high school. 他们努力学习以便能进入一所好的高中。
