Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰郁金香田中使用的高科技机器人Theo的工作情况,包括其如何检测并杀死生病的郁金香鳞茎以防止病毒传播,以及这些机器人在郁金香产业中的重要性。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs(鳞茎)to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus(病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting centre after they have been harvested.”可知,机器人Theo在郁金香田中工作,检查每株植物,并在必要时杀死生病的鳞茎以防止病毒的传播。因此,它的工作是清除有问题的鳞茎。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. ‘You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,’ Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. ‘It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,’ he added. ‘But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.’”可知,从Visser的话中,我们可以推断出他认为这个机器人是值得这个价格的。他提到虽然机器人的价格相当于一辆很漂亮的跑车,但是跑车并不能看到生病的郁金香,而机器人可以。这暗示了他认为机器人虽然昂贵,但其能够执行的工作和带来的效益使得这个价格是值得的。故选C。
3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use the GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.”可知,机器人的核心是AI模型中的知识,这些知识来自像Theo van der Voort这样有经验的郁金香农民。这表明,使机器人有效工作的关键是人类的知识和经验,它们被输入到AI模型中,以便机器人能够准确地检测和处理生病的郁金香。故选D。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip(郁金香)fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了机器人Theo在荷兰郁金香田中的应用和其在提高生产效率、预防病毒传播方面的重要性。选项A“Theo’s watch: an advance in tulip farming” (Theo的守望:郁金香农业的进步)既突出了主角机器人Theo,又表明了它所带来的农业进步,最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次在家中遇到漏水问题及其处理过程,从而引发了作者对“大问题通常始于小事情”这一主题的反思。
1.A 根据下文“Hence, we woke up one morning to a pool of water on the bedroom floor.”以及全文内容可知,作者家是遇到了漏水问题。故选A项。encounter遭遇,遇到;expect期待;defeat击败;predict预测。
2.B 根据下文“Later, we were told by an architect friend that such a small leak can become a major break and eventually do…structural damage to our home.”可知,作者家的这根水管平时有点漏水,但是作者并没有理会。故选B项。 rapidly迅速地;slightly稍微;heavily重重地;rarely很少。
3.D 根据空后内容“…water had spread from a break between the wall and the floor.”可知,作者是发现了问题所在。故选D项。 clarify澄清,阐明;criticize批评;display展示;detect发觉,察觉。
4.A 根据下文“Initially, I used towels to absorb the water. When seeing the break was not huge, I tried pushing back the water with a mop (拖把).”可知,作者看到这种情况后,就立刻开始收拾残局。故选A项。set out出发,开始;settle down定居;take up开始从事,占据;break down崩溃,抛锚。
5.B 根据上文“A water pipe had been leaking…within a bathroom wall, which my husband and I ignored for long. Hence, we woke up one morning to a pool of water on the bedroom floor.”可知,漏水的情况迅速恶化,有更多的水涌出来。故选B项。floor地板;leak漏洞,泄漏; pipe管子;wall墙。
6.A 根据上文“But the…quickly became bigger…”可推测,随着漏水情况的恶化,有更多的水涌出来了。故选A项。well涌出;fall落下;jump跳;throw扔掉。
7.C 根据空后的“…something deeper within the wall needed our attention.”可知,看到这种情况,作者觉得墙内很可能有更深层的地方需要关注。故选C项。advantage优点;feature特色;prospect前景,可能性;difference差异。
8.C 根据空后的the broken pipe可推测,作者关闭主水管、打开墙壁的目的是修理破裂的水管。故选C项。arrange安排;preserve保存; fix修理;adopt收养,采纳。
9.B 根据下文“…that it was no longer leaking…”可知,看到不漏水了作者感到松了一口气。故选B项。anxious焦虑的;relieved放松的;ashamed羞愧的;embarrassed尴尬的。
10.D 根据上文“Despite quite a bit of wall repair and painting to do, we were…that it was no longer leaking…”可知,作者家的水管不漏水了,由此可知,供水也恢复了正常,走上了正轨。故选D项。on trial在试验中;on show在展示中;on the move在移动中;on track走上正轨。
11.D 根据上文“…such a small leak can become a major break…”可知,小漏水会变成大爆裂,也就是会给房子造成严重的结构损坏。故选D项。minor轻微的;mental思想的,精神的;little小的;critical严重的。
12.A 根据下文“…how many times we don’t…addressing small issues that demand our attention until they grow into big ones that almost…our life.”可知,下文是作者反思的内容。故选A项。 reflect反思,反射;advocate倡导;appeal吸引;oppose反对。
13.C 根据上文内容“A water pipe had been leaking…within a bathroom wall, which my husband and I ignored for long.”可知,作者和丈夫长期对这个漏水的水管不理会才带来了大麻烦。故选C项。 resist抵制;cease停止;bother操心,麻烦,费力;risk冒……的危险。
14.C 根据上文“Later, we were told by an architect friend that such a small leak can become a major break and eventually do…structural damage to our home.”可知,小问题不重视,最终会变成大问题,会毁掉我们的生活。故选C项。benefit有益于;direct指挥,导演;ruin毁坏;dominate支配,统治。
15.D 根据全文内容以及上文“Big problems usually start small.”可知,作者认为遇到问题应该早点行动,从而避免更大的损失。故选D项。experience经验,经历;rise上升;sign标志,手势;action行为,行动。Period Four Using Language

Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.
The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting centre after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colourful flowers.
In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”
The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use the GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.
Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
( )1.What does the robot do
A.Plant new tulips.
B.Clear troubled bulbs.
C.Kill the deadly virus.
D.Harvest grown flowers.
( )2.What can we infer from Visser’s words
A.He dreams of a sports car.
B.Tulip fields are low in production.
C.The robot is worth the cost.
D.Farmers lack technical knowledge.
( )3.What is the key to making the robots work effectively
A.GPS systems.
B.High-tech cameras.
C.Daily training.
D.Human knowledge.
( )4.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Theo’s watch: an advance in tulip farming
B.AI robots: a replacement for aging farmers
C.Tulip seasons: an attraction of the Netherlands
D.Visser’s practice: a tradition in tulip businesses

［2025·湖南师大附中高二期中考试］
Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香)
fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired
muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired
farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease
from the fields.

The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips,
checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs
(鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒).
The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The
dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting centre
after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo
working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job
becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak
season nears, when people come from around the world to
admire the colourful flowers.

In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable
farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is
using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the
price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros.
“It's a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks
through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a
sports car doesn't see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and
fewer people who can really do that.”

The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They
have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their
AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants,
and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer
explains the robots use the GPS to be sure they are destroying
the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge
put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip
farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the
robot.

Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick
flowers in his fields. “It's fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much

[解析] 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot rolls along rows
of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when
necessary, killing diseased bulbs(鳞茎)to prevent the spread of
the tulip-breaking virus(病毒). The virus weakens the bulb,
leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed
from healthy ones in a sorting centre after they have been
harvested.”可知，机器人Theo在郁金香田中工作，检查每株植物，
并在必要时杀死生病的鳞茎以防止病毒的传播。因此，它的工作是
清除有问题的鳞茎。故选B。

[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Allan Visser is a third-
generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. ‘You could buy
a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,’ Visser said.
The robot costs 185,000 euros. ‘It's a lot slower than a sports

car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,’ he added. ‘But I
choose the robot because a sports car doesn't see the sick
tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do
that.’”可知，从Visser的话中，我们可以推断出他认为这个机器人是
值得这个价格的。他提到虽然机器人的价格相当于一辆很漂亮的跑
车，但是跑车并不能看到生病的郁金香，而机器人可以。这暗示了
他认为机器人虽然昂贵，但其能够执行的工作和带来的效益使得这
个价格是值得的。故选C。

the GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The
heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model,
which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der

模型中的知识，这些知识来自像Theo van der Voort这样有经验的
郁金香农民。这表明，使机器人有效工作的关键是人类的知识和经
验，它们被输入到AI模型中，以便机器人能够准确地检测和处理生
病的郁金香。故选D。

named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle

介绍了机器人Theo在荷兰郁金香田中的应用和其在提高生产效率、
预防病毒传播方面的重要性。选项A“Theo's watch: an advance in
