A California company is using robots to grow plants in greenhouses that use 90 percent less water than traditional farms, which can help prepare for a more sustainable future.

The company, Iron Ox, operates several greenhouses and has plans to expand. It recently announced a new $50 million investment. The financing was led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a company established by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

At a 930-square meter center in Gilroy, California, Iron Ox uses a self-driving robot named Grover to transport containers of plants. The large greenhouse uses hydroponics（水栽培）, a system designed to grow plants in materials other than soil, such as water.The company says each container, known as a module, carries 30 liters of water and about 70 seedlings as it moves. Another machine uses robotic arms to lift the top of the plants out of the water. This permits the roots to be inspected. Sensors also examine the water, measuring levels of nitrogen and acidity（酸度）.

The company notes that in its greenhouses, any water not used can be pumped back into the system to be reused later. Agriculture is an important part of California’s economy. But water usage has increasingly become a concern. The last major drought in 2012-2017 cut water for farmers, forced household usage limits and fueled deadly wildfires.

Iron Ox currently grows Thai basil and strawberries and is working on cilantro, parsley, and tomatoes. The company plans to build a new 50,000-square-meter greenhouse in Lockhart, Texas. There, the robots will be moving about 5,400 modules.

Iron Ox sees the robotic, indoor system expanding in the coming years to become a scalable（可扩展的） model and a really interesting way to bring modern technology in a controlled setting to agriculture.

24.What is the main purpose of Iron Ox?

A.To obtain financial support.                     B.To absorb greenhouse gases.

C.To increase agricultural investment.             D.To develop long-term agriculture.

25.What can we know about Iron Ox?

A. It recycles water effectively .                   B. It grows plants with soil and water.

C. It suffered a great loss from drought.             D. It runs another greenhouse in Texas.

26.What is the company’s attitude toward its future?

A.Concerned.           B.Ambiguous.      C.Positive.         D. Cautious.

27.Which of the following best summarizes this article?

A. More plants have been grown by robots.        B. Robots help grow crops in greenhouses.

C. No water is used by robots in growing plants.    D. Workers will benefit from robotic agriculture.

Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature.

Gwendolyn Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1917. But she grew up in Chicago. She began writing when she was eleven years old. She mailed several poems to a community newspaper in Chicago to surprise her family.

At the age of 22, she married Henry L. Blakely. Henry Blakely was a young writer who later published his own poetry. They lived in Chicago for the next thirty years and had two children, Nora Brooks Blakely and Henry Blakely.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than twenty books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.

Throughout her life, Ms. Brooks supported herself through poetry readings and part-time teaching in colleges. In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Chicago girl as a daughter, a wife and mother, who experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor.

She felt that young people would lead the way in healing the wounds of the United States civil rights movement of the 1960s. To honor her work, Chicago State University formed the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Creative Writing and Black literature.

Gwendolyn Brooks influenced many African American writers. Friends say her prize-winning works also helped other black Americans to develop their own sense of identity and culture.

Artificial intelligence is changing business as we know it. Companies are already starting to integrate robotics into the workforce. The electronics company Foxconn is drawing plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that completely staffed by robot workers. Not only in the workforce, AI is also impacting our personal world outside of the office each and every day.

Self-driving and parking cars use deep learning, a branch of AI, to recognize the space around a vehicle. Technology company Nvidia uses AI to give cars “the power to see, think, and learn, so they can guide a large range of possible driving cases,” Nvidia explains on its website. The company’s AI-powered technology is already in use in cars made by Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Tesla, and is sure to revolutionize how people drive and enable vehicles to drive themselves.

Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Microsoft’s Cortana are digital assistants that help users perform various tasks, from checking their schedules and searching for something on the web, to sending commands to another app. AI is an important part of how these apps work because they learn from every interaction. This allows them to better recognize speech patterns and serve users’ results that are tailored to their preferences. Microsoft says that Cortana is continually learns about its user and that it will eventually satisfy user’s needs.

The Roomba 980 model vacuum (the one that cleans your floor on its own) uses AI to scan a living area’s size, look out for objects that might be in the way, and remember the best route for cleaning the carpet. The vacuum robot can also identify how much cleaning it needs to do based on the size of the room, repeating a cleaning cycle three times in smaller rooms or cleaning twice in a medium-sized room.

32.What is Foxconn planning to do?

A. To build a new factory to make robots.       B. To create a machine that fights robots.

C. It has produced many world-famous cars.     D. It designs technology for driverless cars.

34.What is Microsoft’s attitude toward digital assistants?

A. Positive.            B. Worried.        C. Neutral.          D. Doubtful.

35.What can be the best title for this passage?

A. The future of AI                         B. China’s investment in AI

Plastic is a miracle material. Thanks to plastics, countless lives have been saved in the health sector, the growth of clean energy from wind power and solar panels has been greatly improved, and safe food storage has been revolutionized.

But what makes plastic so convenient in our day-to-day lives – it’s cheap – also makes it present everywhere, resulting in one of our planet’s greatest environmental challenges. Our oceans have been used as a rubbish station.36.          . In cities around the world, plastic waste blocks drains(下水道), causing floods. Consumed by livestock(家畜), it also finds its way into the food chain.

Plastic packaging accounts for nearly half of all plastic waste globally, and much of it is thrown away within just a few minutes of its first use. Much plastic may be single-use, but that does not mean it is easily disposable(可随意处理的). 37.          , when thrown in landfills or in the environment.

Learning from the experience of countries that have introduced bans and regulations on single-use plastics, government should analyze what has worked well, what hasn’t, and why. 39.          .

 40.           – with huge gains for people and the planet that help avoid the costly downstream costs of pollution. In addition, action will drive the kind of innovation that will support the future global economy we need.

Plastic isn’t the problem. It’s what we do with it. And that means the onus(职责) is on us to be far smarter in how we use this miracle material.

1. Action can be painless and profitable 
2. Plastic can take up to a thousand years to break down
3. All nations, whether rich or poor, can become global environmental leaders  
4. Plastic is choking marine life and transforming some marine areas into a plastic soup
5. Plastic in the environment does significant harm to wildlife both on land and in the ocean
6. Plastic breaks down completely only if exposed to continual high temperatures above 50°C
7. Policymakers must introduce measures to regulate the production and use of disposable plastics
