As a result, more and more food needs to be grown in order to 1 everyone. Because of climate change, this task is becoming even more difficult.To solve this problem, some experts（专家）2 a research project. They spent several years communicating with farmers. They wanted to see what problems farmers were having and how these problems could be solved. This 3 the creation of special robots. These robots move around on farms and 4 detailed information about crops. They can take pictures of plants, track（追踪）eachplant’s 5 and measure its size. In this way, farmers will be able to produce more food by improving the condition of each plant.In the past, 6 farmers did have information about the soil and the weather, they didn’t have the time or ability to track each plant. Now, 7 these robots, they can.By collecting detailed information about plants, experts 8 that computers can help farmers make predictions（预测）about how their plants will grow.Studying each plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can detect（发现）which plants have 9 , farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they are able to affect 10 plants. The detailed information will also allow farmers to only fertilize（施肥）and water the plants in need.1．A．impress B．raise C．feed D．influence2．A．carried out B．broke out C．came out D．found out 3．A．devoted to B．paid attention toC．led to D．looked forward to4．A．give B．collect C．direct D．mark5．A．shape B．appearance C．age D．growth6．A．until B．though C．when D．if7．A．for B．through C．with D．throughout8．A．worry B．suggest C．wonder D．believe9．A．diseases B．warmth C．feelings D．breath 10．A．far B．nearby C．lively D．Lasting参考答案：（1）1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．D 7．A 8．D 9．C 10．B （2）1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．D 7．A 8．D 9．B 10．C (3)1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．D 7．A 8．B 9．D 10．C (4)1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．D 8．C 9．A 10．C (5)1．A 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．A （6）1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．A 7．A 8．C 9．B 10．A （7）1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．B 6．B 7．C 8．B 9．A 10．C (8)1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．A 6．B 7．B 8．A 9．A 10．A (9)1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 6．A 7．C 8．C 9．B 10．D （10）1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．B 7．C 8．D 9．A 10．B。
