35、y heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of SwitzerLand. It created a ro

36、bot 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.

A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart-phone.The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with

38、 20 times 1ess 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 Cali

There ar

44、ent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of

45、 the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What

46、he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, ther

47、e is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unc

48、onvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternativ

49、e views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligenc

50、e.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan be

51、lieves that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps theres hope for us all!1、What is the topic of the passage?AThe relationship between genes and intelligence.BIQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.CHow to develop intelligence.DWhat

52、makes intelligence.2、Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?ATo make a suggestion.BTo draw a conclusion.CTo prove an idea.DTo give an example.3、What can we learn from the passage?ARobert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.BHoward Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.

53、CMichael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.DTony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.4、What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AThe development of intelligence.BThe idea of multiple intelligences.CIQ isnt everything for intelligence.DA

She thought that, living in a 1 neighborhood, most of these

55、children would draw pictures of 2 or of fully laden Thanksgiving tables. That was what they believed was 3 of them.What took Mrs. Klein by 4 was Douglas s picture. Douglas was so alone and likely to be found 5 in her shadow as they went outside for play. Douglass drawing was simply a(n) 6 , obviousl

56、y, but whose?The class was 7 by his image. “I think it must be the hand of God that 8 us food,” said one student.“A 9 ,” said another, “because they grow the turkeys.”“It looks more like a policeman, and they 10 us.”“I think,” said Lavinia, who was always so 11 , “that it is supposed to be all the h

When she 14 the others at work on another project, she 15 and asked Douglas whose hand it was.Douglas 16 , “Its yours, teacher.”Then Mrs. Klein 17 that she had t
