Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power. One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently.The computers help them keep more accurate records, so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for famers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm,students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power,farms of the future will depend on computer power. Another technological advance which is sill in the experimenal stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots wil make starting changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide()。
A.
how much money they can earn from their products
B.
whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C.
what livestock to raise
D.
when to sell their products

A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice. After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on. The City of Beaufort Fire Deparment shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, the members were quick to come to his rescue. “We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can to make sure be has a great birthday and that more han one child shows up,” Beaufor firefighter Ross Vezin says. “We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to a bowling alley(保龄球场)along with a biker group.” The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism(自闭症). “They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling,” Vezin continues, adding that the party came to be known as “Coopers Birthday 2.0”. From riding in a fire truck to seeing the motorcycles fom the biker group and evening welcomed by so many new friends, Cooper loved his celebration. And it won’t be the last time that the little boy gets to hang out with the fire department responsible for it. “We’re also going to have him up next week,” Vezin says. “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.” Only one kid went to Cooper’s first birthday party because()。
A.
Cooper was not good at making friends
B.
other kids were busy with their classes then
C.

It is widely acknowledged that fully autonomous vehicles, or cars and trucks that can drive themselves without a human at the controls, are coming soon. In fact, Levels 1 and 2 autonomous vehicles are already on our roads. Many companies are currently testing autonomous vehicles (AVs), and AV programs have been launched across the country by various companies in the technology and transportation industries. AVs have the potential for tremendous safety benefits, but it will be decades until all vehicles on the road will be autonomous, and perhaps they never will. Until then, autonomous vehicles will need to share the road safely with human drivers. Futher, the public remains doubful about the safety of autonomous vehicles, Surveys have shown that fewer than 30% of people report that they would feel comfortable riding in a highly-automated vehicle, and less than a quarter would buy one as soon as it became available. This presents a challenge to states, which are responsible for public education,driver licensing, and establishing and enforcing traffic laws.The Governors Highway Safey Association (GHSA) believes that states should play a leading role in dealing with the issues that will come from a mix of autonomous and human-driven vehicles on the roads. GHSA’s latest report on AV technology outlines issues that automated driving systems may present to states, and discusses how law enforcement and State Highway Safety Offices should prepare for them. The report finds that most autonomous vehicles for the foreseeable future will share driving reponsibility wih humans, and are likely to do so for many decades. Moreover, there will continue to be crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving AVs, especially during this time in which they share the road with vehicles driven by humans. What does the “challenge” (Para.3) refer to()?
A.
The safety of autonomous vehicles.
B.
Public education about autonomous driving.
C.
Road conditions appropriate for autonomous driving.
D.
The mix of autonomous and human-driven vehicles on the roads.

In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later, the bottle was found on an Australian island. It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms of the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was founD.Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯)World Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not. Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,” Illman says,according to an account on her husband’ s website. The bottle was partially filled with wet sanD.Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string. Too damp to open initially,according to the account,the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. “The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866” said Illman’s husband Kym. “It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long. The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. “Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information,” Ross Anderson,who is in charge of works of art in the museum,said in a statement. But this message is no SOS or love letter. From the passage, we learn that_________.
A.
Tonya found the bottle first
B.
Tonya and Kym contacted researchers in Germany for help
C.
Illman’s son broke the bottle to take out what was inside

In 2014,older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2. 8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on to be hospitalized.More than 27,000 falls led to death. And the problem is getting more and more serious. “ Older adult falls are increasing and,sadly,often indicate the end of independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed.He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend. Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they ’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries. “Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein. It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they ’ re weaker than they really are, she explained.When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said.“You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around.People used to taking the subway, now they’re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and lose independence,” she said. Which of the following is true?
A.
In 2014,older adult falls caused 7 million injuries.
B.
In 2016,Americans fell 29 million times.
C.
Last year, 2.8 million Americans had emergency treatment.
D.
Last month, more than 27,000 older Americans were hospitalized.

Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? People would say “No”. Can eating chocolate cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner be good for your heart? Again, they would say“No”,because that would be too good to be true. But new research shows that large amounts of flavanols (黄烧醇),substances found in cocoa (可可),tea and some vegetables, may reverse age-related memory failure. Another study is looking to see if high levels of cocoa flavanols can help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Flavanols found in dark chocolate are known to increase blood flow in the part of the brain that controls memory. They also help prevent heart disease by lowering blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol (胆固醇).A new study published online found that cocoa flavanols reverse minor memory loss in older adults. Dr. Scott Small, a professor at Columbia University, is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavanols on brain activity. The study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavanol drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavanol drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900mg of flavanol a day while the others got 10mg. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavanol drink showed much improvement on memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed because this study was performed on a small group. Researchers at Women ’s Hospital in Boston recently announced plans to do just that. Studies show that flavanols can do all the following EXCEPT_______.
A.
take off extra weight
B.
lower bad cholesterol
C.

Brain drain, which is the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country to work abroad, has become one of the developing countries’ concerns. Brain drain is also referred to as human capital flight. More and more third world science-and-technology-educated people are heading for more prosperous countries seeking higher wages and better working conditions. This has of course serious consequences on the sending countries. While many people believe that immigration is a persona] choice that must be understood and respected, others look at the phenomenon from a different perspective. What makes those educated people leave their countries should be seriously considered and a distinction between push and pull factors must be made. The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions. Social unrest, political conflicts and wars may also be determining causes. The pull factors, however, include academic freedom and extensive funds for research. Brain drain has negative impact on the sending countries ’economic prospects and competitiveness. It reduces the number of dynamic and creative people who can contribute to the development of their country. Likewise, with more entrepreneurs (企业家)taking their investments abroad, developing countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation. This has also negative consequences on tax revenue and employment. Most of the measures taken so far have not had any success in softening the effects of brain drain. One option is to provide adequate working and living conditions in the sending countries. Another option should involve encouraging the expatriates(侨民)to contribute their skill to the development of their countries without necessarily moving back home. What can be viewed as a pull factor according to the author?
A.
Population control.
B.
Limited funds for research.
C.
Better working conditions.
D.
Natural environment.

There’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it. Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism.” It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Here’s what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was mainly person to person, in real time. But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that’s a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits(隐居者)who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on computer screens. To the contrary, the Pew study discovered that the Internet has put us in touch with many MORE real people than we’d have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We’re turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decision. So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse! Before the invention of the Internet, our connections with people took place mainly().

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal(残忍的)things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation. A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers. “Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold, and it is not a pleasant place to be in. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person().
A.
by accident
B.
for no reason

A review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence” that—all else being equal—happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers. The study is the most comprehensive review so far the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author Ed Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events. “We reviewed eight different types of studies,” Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being—that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed—contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.” A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer- term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns(天主教修女)from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones. There were a few exceptions, but most of the long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates disease and a shorter life. While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, positive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said. “Happiness is no magic bullet,” he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.” According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener().
A.
studied the health conditions of the subjects
B.
conducted experimental human trials

[Translation] Spending hours a day sitting at a desk is known to have consequences for your health but, scientists now say just five-minute walking stints could counteract some of the risks. In a new study, researchers found that taking brief, repeated breaks from work to stand up and move around has sustained benefits for your mood and energy levels. The effects of these microbouts of activity were found to last all day, and could even help to alleviate food cravings while you ’ re at work. “ Office workers have been identified as one of the most vulnerable occupational groups for accumulating prolonged and uninterrupted sitting time,” the authors explained in the study, published to the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity. And,this sedentary lifestyle increases the risks of diabetes, depression, and obesity, among other health concerns.

将下面的短文译成中文。 【1】English food has a bad reputation abroad. 【2】This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged to eat in the more “popular” type of restaurant. 【3】Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large quantities, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment, is quite satisfactory. 【4】Still, it is rather dull and not alway attractively presented. 【5】Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry—at least at lunch—and a meal eaten in a leisurely manner in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken hastily in a business-like atmosphere.
