They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, the milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.The robotic systems are designed to operate twenty-four hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked about three times a day on average. Some are milked four to six times a day.The cows wear collars around their necks so that the system can identify them. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.Once trained, the cows no longer require human assistance, unless something goes wrong. The system is programmed to notify the farmer if there is a problem.Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.Doug and Tina Suhr have more than one hundred cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. The second cost one hundred and fifty thousand.Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reached a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.31. Besides milking cows, the robotic system can alsoA. adjust the temperature of milking stations B. judge the quality of fresh milkC. improve the appetite of cows D. keep fresh milk for several weeks32. Why is the robotic system not popular now?A. Because young people have no interest in it. B. Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.C. Because people cant afford it. D. Because it usually causes the waste of milk.33. According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee per year?A. $ 150, 000 $ 170, 000. B. $ 750, 000.C. $ 30, 000 $ 150, 000. D. $ 30,000 $35,000.34. The underlined word notify in the text probably means“ ”A. train B. inform C. control D. help35. Which of the following best describes Dougs attitude to the automated system?A. Uninterested. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving D. OptimisticBAustralia is considering proposals to kill all the wild camels that roam the outback as part of its contribution to fighting global warming.The 1.2 million camels, considered pests by farmers and conservationists, each produces methane（沼汽）equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide a year.That makes them collectively one of Australias biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.But if the government goes ahead, politicians will be braced for a backlash from animal lovers, who are already a powerful voice against annual kangaroo killing.Tim Moore, managing director of Adelaide-based Northwest Carbon, a commercial company, proposed the extermination(消灭) idea to the government.He said: They live anywhere from 30 to 50 years in the wild and because theres 1.2 million of them, their numbers and the gases they produce are doubling every nine years.The camels were brought to the country by Afghan migrant workers in the 1800s to help with building roads and laying railroad tracks.Under Mr. Moores plan, which will see the government awarding carbon credits to individuals and organizations involved in the cull, camels will be shot from helicopters or four-wheel-drive vehicles.Others would be rounded up and sent to an abattoir( 屠宰场) for either human or pet consumption.Killing of camels that roam in the outback reaches of four states has been carried out before, but Mr. Moores plan would involve wiping out every one of the creatures.Mr. Moore said there were particularly great job opportunities for aborigines (土著居民) who joined in the project.Mark Dreyfus, parliamentary secretary for climate change, said the government was considering various proposals to reduce carbon pollutionincluding Mr. Moores suggestionto be included in Canberras Carbon Farming Initiative.Without nuclear power, Australia relies on coal to produce electricity, putting it among the worlds worst per capita polluters.36. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Australia is in great need of nuclear power.B. A good suggestion about environment protection.C. Australia considers killing camels to fight global warming.D.

The treasures include gold, diamonds and precious Stones. The estimated value of the treasure is reportedly 22 billion US dollars.Hundreds of armed police have been deployed (部署) around the temple. Meanwhile, a debate about how to use the money has also broken out across the country. After discovering the treasure trove in Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the local government has assured security of the temple.As to the security arrangements, Venugopalan Nair, Additional Director General of the Kerala Police, says the latest security devices are being used to guard the temple.Venugopalan Nair said, We are trying to bring in the latest technology with regard to surveillance (监视)cameras, digitalizing the various things which are available inside.
