And large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields (产量), r

11、educe waste, and reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.Traditional farming relies on managing entire fieldsmaking decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating, and applying pesticides and fertilizer (农药和化肥)based on regional conditions and

12、historical data. Precision farming, by contrast, combines sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize（量身定制）the care that plants receive without increasing labor. Robot-mounted sensors and camera-equipped drones (无人机) wirelessly send images and data on individual plan

13、ts to a computer, which looks for signs of health and stress. Farmers receive the feedback in real time and then deliver water, pesticide or fertilizer in adjusted doses（剂量）to only the areas that need it. The technology can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.As a result, precis

14、ion farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yieldsall of which benefit farmers bottom lines and conserve resources while reducing chemical runoff.Many small businesses are developing new software, sensors, and other tools for precisi

15、on farming, as are large companies such as Monsanto, John Deere, Bayer, Dow and DuPont. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and many colleges now offer course work on the topic.In a related development, seed

16、producers are applying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which ones flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants response to their environments with their genomics (基因组学). That information, in turn, allows the com

17、panies to produce seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help to improve crop nutrition.Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Internet

18、. The technology may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be beyond the reach of many small farming operations in developing nations. But less expensive, simpler systems could potentially be applied. For others, though, cost savings

19、 in the long run may reduce the financial concerns. And however reticent some farmers may be to adopt new technology, the next generation of farmers are likely to warm to the approach.1、Precision farming differs from traditional farming partly because it _.Aguarantees high yields with more laborBrel

23、s for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra,

24、a monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been

25、a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate result

26、s because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and prod

27、uce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans becau

28、se the two species are so different“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,”he said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神经的) diseases such as Parkinsons disease, metabolic sy

29、ndrome(代谢综合症) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains, he said. However, bio labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very c

30、apable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead, he said.1、Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named Zhong Zhon

31、g and Hua Hua?AReproductive cells. BSomatic cellsCNeural mapping. DGenetic makeup2、Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?ABecause it is bad for our environment.BBecause each monkey might have different genes.CBecause monkeys genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.DBecause it is too expensive to wo

40、d has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has beco

41、me incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer（

42、合成肥料）each year, and all that nitrogen（氮）enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the worlds rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the m

43、ajor threats to the environment.To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural c

44、orporations. Organic practices - refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billionand people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.Yet a new meta-analysis in N

45、ature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture.In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to gra

46、ins. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed（落后于）conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables all of which provide the worlds main calories conventi

47、onal agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs（此消彼长）with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely o
