And large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields (产量), reduce waste, and reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.‎ ‎    Traditional farming relies on managing entire fields—making decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating, and applying pesticides and fertilizer (农药和化肥)—based on regional conditions and 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 plants 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, precision farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yields—all 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 precision 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 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 companies 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. 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 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 ________. ‎ A.guarantees high yields with more labor B.relies on regional conditions and historical data C.offers plenty of water, pesticides and fertilizer D.provides real time information about target crops ‎（2）About precision farming, we can learn that________. ‎ A.the government holds a cautious attitude B.it draws positive responses from businesses C.seed producers have already made huge profits D.large systems will soon be built in developing nations ‎（3）The underlined word “reticent” in the last paragraph probably means ________ ‎ A.disappointed B.confused C.unwilling D.shocked ‎（4）What is the best title for the passage? ‎ A.Precision Farming Increases Crop Yields B.More Challenges Faced by Modern Farmers C.Development of Farming Systems in the U.S. D.Traditional Farming is Gradually Disappearing 六、改错题（共1题；共5分）‎ ‎26.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1）每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2）只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。     Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream.

It was a package delivered to Mum. After thanking the courier, I helped Mum carry it in. Mum suggested leaving the work to Dad. But I decided to do it myself. Immediately, I opened the package. Inside, there were some wooden boards, iron parts, and an instruction manual. Having read the manual carefully, I got down to work. With a screwdriver, I fixed the frame first, and then put the boards on it piece by piece. After two hours of hard work, a lovely flower shelf appeared in front of my eyes. Mum and I were both pleased and we started putting potted plants onto it.‎ ‎    When Dad came back, hearing it was I who had assembled the flower shelf, he, with a broad smile, gave me a thumbs-up. At that moment, my feeling of content and pride was beyond description.‎ Though I am a busy student, I still can do something for my family.‎
