developing this same kind of technology. one industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or ai, is agriculture. companies are experimenting with hightech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environmentharming chemicals.one of the companies is ecorobotix of switzerland. it created a robot equipped with ai and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. the robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. computercontrolled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. it uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. a farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone.the cofounder of ecorobotix, aurlien demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. this is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.another company developing farm robotics is californiabased blue river technology. the company has a system called “see & spray”， which it claims was the worlds first smart sprayer. the system which is connected to the back of a tractor is also equipped with ai to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. it can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. ben chostner, vicepresident of business development for blue river technology, explains in a company video that see & spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “the first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didnt know what kind of plant it was. but we taught it by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed and now its an expert in pigweed.”5how will ai benefit agriculture?ait will fund agriculture research.bit contributes to lowcost farming.cit can avoid harmful chemicals.dit frees all farmers from field work.6what do the products of the two companies have in common?athey use recognition technology.bthey are powered by solar energy.cthey are connected with smartphones.dthey can help wanted plants grow rapidly.7what do ben chostners words suggest about the robot?ait is environmentally friendly.bit is good at selfimproving.cit has the learning ability.dit can track various plants.8what is mainly talked about in the text?athe experiment

comics，神奇四侠于1961年首次推出，而蜘蛛侠是之后创作的，所以创作蜘蛛侠时公司的名称应是漫威(marvel comics)。故选b项。3d考查词义猜测。最后一段介绍了斯坦李的成就，作为漫威宇宙的创始人之一，斯坦李可以算是美漫历史上最伟大的人物之一，没有他可能就没有现在的漫威世界，所以他可以被称为漫威宇宙的标志，由此可推知，icon意为“标志”，故选d项。4a考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，本文介绍了漫威创始人之一斯坦李的传奇一生。他对美国漫画的影响力是令人瞩目的，他生前所创作的经典作品在世界上都可以称作顶级的文化品牌，所以他被称为漫威之父。godfather意为“开拓者；发起者；创始人”，故选a项。b体裁：说明文题材：科技主题：人工智能与农业【语篇解读】研究者们正在试验农业方面的人工智能高科技工具，这些工具可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱，同时减少使用对环境有害的化学物质。5b考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“companies are experimenting with hightech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environmentharming chemicals”可知，人工智能可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱，同时减少使用对环境有害的化学物质。故选b。【干扰项分析】文章没有提到人工智能会资助农业研究，故a项错误；根据文章第二、三段内容可知，人工智能可以进行精准喷洒小剂量除草剂等，而不是避免掉有害化学物质，故c项错误；此外，本文没有提到使所有的农民从农田劳作中解放出来，故d项错误。6a考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“it created a robot equipped with ai and cameras to identify all plants on a farm”以及第四段第三句“the system which is connected to the back of a tractor is also equipped with ai to identify and chemically kill only the

pigweed”可知，通过给它成千上万的例子来教它，这个机器现在在识别苋方面是一个专家。由此可推知，ben chosmer意在表明该机器人有学习能力。故选c。8d考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段第三句“one industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or ai, is agriculture”可知，农业是研究和开发人工智能(ai)的重要行业之一；然后文章第二至四段介绍了两个公司的人工智能产品是如何帮助农业生产的。由此可知，本文的主旨是介绍人工智能在农业中的应用。故选d。【干扰项分析】文章第二至四段列举了两个公司是如何将人工智能应用到农业中去的，其中提到了机器人实验以及产品的名称及功能等，但这些都是为了说明人工智能是如何在农业中应用的，故a、c两项错误；此外，文章没有重点讲述人工智能新的发展趋势，故b项错误。.七选五体裁：说明文题材：体育运动主题：骑自行车比赛【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文详细介绍了几种骑自行车的比赛。1c根据空处所在的位置可知，该句承上启下；由下文介绍的几种骑自行车比赛可知，c项“热衷骑自行车的人经常筹备参加骑自行车比赛”符合语境。2b根据空后的“because the bicycles are spread out and are not likely to run into each other”可知，由于自行车是分散的，不太可能互相碰撞；故对于新手来
