Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2023山东济南市一中高二测试)Nearly every week，we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles.But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology.One industry 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 robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm.The robot has four wheels to carry itself through the fields in search of weeds.Computer-controlled 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 co-founder of ecoRobotix，Aurélien 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 chemical amount 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 California-based Blue River Technology.The company has a system called “See & Spray”，which it claims was the world’s 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，vice president 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 pigweed，it didn’t know what kind of plant it was.But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed—and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”

1．How will AI benefit agriculture?

A．It will fund agriculture research.

B．It contributes to low-cost farming.

C．It can avoid harmful chemicals.

D．It frees all farmers from field work.

2．What do the products of the two companies have in common?

A．They use recognition technology.

B．They are powered by solar energy.

C．They are connected with smartphones.

D．They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.

3．What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?

A．It is environmentally-friendly.

B．It is good at self-improving.

C．It has the learning ability.

D．It can track various plants.

4．What is mainly talked about in the text?

A．The experiment in farming robots.

B．A new trend in artificial intelligence.

C．Modern See & Spray technology.

D．Artificial intelligence in agriculture.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。一些公司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。

1．B　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money，while reducing environment-harming 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。

2．A　细节理解题。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 weeds.”可知，两家公司的产品的共同点就是，它们都使用了识别技术。故选A。

3．C　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed—and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”可知，研发人员给这个机器人成千上万的苋的样本来教它，这个机器人现在在识别苋方面是一个专家。由此可推知，Ben Chostner意在表明该机器人有学习能力。故选C。

4．D　主旨大意题。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家公司的人工智能产品是如何帮助农业生产的。由此可知，本文的主旨是人工智能在农业中的应用。故选D。

Ⅱ.读后续写

I was a volunteer for an organisation at the beginning of this year. The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day，we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event.

Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation，I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster，some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset.

Half an hour later，Lisa started complaining，“I don’t think we can raise much money today.”

“Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left，” I said，though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.

While Lisa and I were talking，a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading.

After a while，he asked，“What is cancer？”

I explained what cancer is. Then I said，“Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it.”

“Do children suffer from cancer，too？” asked the boy.

“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help.” Lisa said and I nodded.

Hearing that，the boy became sad. Then the boy asked，“How much money have you collected？”

Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last，we said，“Not much.”

The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However，about twenty minutes later，the boy did return.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

The boy happily ran to us and asked，“Would you take a donation from children？” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One possible version：

The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldn’t believe such a little boy would care. Though we didn’t believe it，we said “yes”. The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five-dollar bills. He said，“I just asked for them from my mother. I really want to help the children suffering from cancer.”

Both Lisa and I were deeply touched._____________________________________________

One possible version：

Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. We wanted to thank the boy，but he left soon. Looking at his back，both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged. We tried harder to raise money. So instead of just standing there，we went to people and told them about our programme. At the end of the day，we raised over three thousand dollars，a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning.
