agriculture and other resources from threats and damage by wildlife.often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors.this organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry agencies all over the country where farmers can explain their difficulty and get practical help.one example from wildlife services of its work involved a farmer in washington state,in the pacific northwest.several years ago,thousands of canada geese landed on his fields.the geese began to eat his carrot crop.biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away.these efforts apparently succeeded,which made the farmer quite happy.wildlife services also has a livestock(牲畜)protection program.the program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them.experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens,sheep and other animals that could be attacked.they also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept.and they advise people who see coyotes around their property to chase them away by shouting,making loud noises or throwing rocks.for home gardeners,a two-meter fence might help keep out deer.to keep out rabbits,a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high.it should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it.if snakes are a problem,remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places.and to protect livestock,consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys,which are very effective.due to its effective work,ever since the wildlife services was started,it has been well received by farmers all over the states and neighboring countries such as canada and mexico.1.the underlined phrase “unwelcome visitors” in the first paragraph refers to .a.animals that attack the farmersb.people who dont care about wildlifec.animals that do harm to 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 infallible 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 farmers.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 still in the experimental 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 will make startling 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.10.according to the passage,computers cannot help farmers decide .a.how much money they can earn from their productsb.whether to plant a certain kind of cropc.what livestock to raised.when to sell their products提示:细节理解题。从“the computers help them. 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.”可知a、b、d三项正确,c项中应把what 改为how much。答案:c11.which of the following statements is true?a.farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.b.farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.c.both computers and robots have been in use on todays farms.d.students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes.提示:推理判断题。由“on the farm of today,machines provide almost all the power”可推知b项正确。答案:b12.according to the engineers, will be done by robots in the near future.a.all farm workb.milking cowsc.some farm workd.making milking machines提示:细节理解题。从“the complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future,but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.”可知答案为c项。答案:c.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。training for a marathon
