A
（2025 济南三模）Esther Kimani， a 29－year－old pioneer in agritech， is changing the lives of smallholder farmers across Africa.As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies （FLT）， she has applied artificial intelligence （AI） to fight against crop pests （害虫） and diseases， significantly reducing losses for rural farmers.
Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains.Witnessing firsthand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently， their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare.Despite these challenges， Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university， studying computer science.It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles， and that’s how FLT was born.
In Kenya alone， 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yield to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions.Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones are prohibitively expensive.To solve this critical issue， she developed an AI－powered camera， which is set up on farms at no upfront cost.It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service （SMS） for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected.
A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers， who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations， but who often lack access to technology.“Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones， while women rely on basic feature phones，” she notes.“Through SMS， we ensure women aren’t left behind.”
Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers， 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%.Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within five years.For Kimani， success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education， healthcare， and financial stability through improved yields.Kimani is not just building a company； she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture.
1.Why did Kimani found FLT？（ ）
A.To fund rural farmers. B.To transform farming.
C.To expand AI industry. D.To research crop types.
2.How does the AI－powered camera help farmers？（ ）
A.By sending them timely warnings. B.By connecting them to consultants.
C.By controlling drones to scan crops. D.By driving pests away automatically.
3.What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation？（ ）
A.Equal access. B.Tailored service.
C.Large storage. D.Easy maintenance.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Financial policies affect agriculture. B.African agriculture will take the lead.
C.Kimani will pursue further education. D.Kimani’s innovation powers a bright future.

（2025 石家庄教学质量检测）Like a lot of Canadians， Andrew Suboch grew up knowing little about Canada’s national game — lacrosse （曲棍球）， other than watching some neighbours pass a ball using old wooden sticks.
It was only when his two children started playing the game as part of their training for hockey （冰球） that he took much notice.His son， Jack， went on to excel at lacrosse and he now plays for the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League.
Both children came up through the Mimico Minor Lacrosse organization， in the Toronto area， which has been around since 1890.When the number of players in the kids’ league began falling in 2014， Mr Suboch， who is a personal injury lawyer in Toronto， volunteered to step in.He offered to sponsor the “Baby Peanut” program， which introduced children aged 3 and 4 to the game.
Thanks to his sponsorship， more than 100 children play for free each spring for eight weeks.They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a lightweight stick and a shirt.“They are taught to catch， throw， pass and shoot in a non－contact environment，” he said.“You get them running around.Get them away from the screen.It is our national game， so you get them exposed.And sure enough， they caught on.”
To fund the program， Mr Suboch came up with a novel idea.He started searching his neighbourhood for used appliances， metal and electronic items， such as computers and cellphones.He sorted the material and sold it to a local recycling centre.“Word has gotten out， so people now will give me their used electronics and metal stuff，” he said.The recycling effort raises around $20，000 annually， which covers the cost of the lacrosse program.
Mr Suboch said watching the kids play has given him a lot of satisfaction and joy.“Not only is far less junk going to landfill sites，” he said， “but we’ve also got kids who are not in front of a screen.”
5.Why did Andrew start sponsoring the “Baby Peanut” program？（ ）
A.His son asked him to support the game.
B.The kids’ league faced declining participation.
C.He wanted to promote his own law firm.
D.He hoped to popularize a hockey organization.
6.What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in paragraph 4 mean？（ ）
A.Learned the rules. B.Got injured.
C.Attracted donations. D.Became interested.
7.How did Andrew obtain funds for the lacrosse program？（ ）
A.By organizing charity matches. B.By collecting and selling used items.
C.By charging participation fees. D.By raising money from the community.
8.What can we learn about the program’s impact？（ ）
A.It reduced screen time for children. B.It increased waste sent to landfills.
C.It made lacrosse popular worldwide. D.It created jobs for the local residents.
