but unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. a decade ago, adopting the infrared （紅外線）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist stephen paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. the goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （殺蟲劑）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest （害蟲）problems.even better, paleys remote scanning services company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. the data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running“fevers”. farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.the bad news is that paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. but with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, paley hopes to get back into operation. agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “this technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the united states, ” says george oerther of texas a & m. ray jackson , who recently retired from the department of agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. but only ff paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.16plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are_.a. sprayed with pesticides b. facing an infrared scannerc. in poor physical condition d. exposed to excessive sun rays17in order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.a. estimate the damage to the crops b. measure the size of the affected areac. draw a color-coded map d. locate the problem area18farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.a. resorting to spot-spraying b. consulting infrared scanning expertsc. transforming poisoned rain d. detecting crop problems at an early stage19the application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _.a. the lack of official support b. its high costc. the lack of financial support d. its failure to help increase production20infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of_.a. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceb. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsc. the forceful promotion by the department of agricultured. full support from agricultural experts 全解全析4145 cdacb 本篇是一篇說明文，主要介紹了將原用于軍事和衛(wèi)星的紅外線掃描技術(shù)運(yùn)用于農(nóng)業(yè)的前景，人們?yōu)榇怂龀龅呐坝龅降睦щy。16c。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章第二自然段第2行“an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by cropsthe data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were runningfevers”，說明植物在發(fā)“高燒”，也就是說，“身體狀況”不佳時才會散發(fā)熱，所以選項c符合題意。17d。推理判斷題。本題要求判斷使用紅外線掃描技術(shù)的目的。依據(jù)文章第二自然段第4行“showing where plants were running feversfarmers could then spot spray，”說明目的是確定有問題的區(qū)域，以使農(nóng)民有針對性地噴殺蟲劑。顯然，選項d（確定有問題的地域）為最佳選項。18a。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章第二自然段最后一句“farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would”（采取點噴，農(nóng)民們可以節(jié)省平時用量的50至70的殺蟲劑），選項a符合題意。19c。推理判斷題。依據(jù)文章第三自然段的第1句“the bad news is that palelys company closed down in 1984，after only three yearsfarmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find”，從中可以看出紅外線掃描技術(shù)應(yīng)用于農(nóng)業(yè)遇到了一些問題，原因有兩個：一是農(nóng)民對新技術(shù)的抵制，二是難以找到長期贊助商。文章中還有一處明顯的提示出現(xiàn)在最后一句：“but only if palely finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago”從該句提供的信息同樣可以反推出10年前的情形，所以選項c正確。20b。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章第三自然段第2行“but with the renewed concern about pesticide on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning，palely hopes to get back into operation”，可知b項（出于對殺蟲劑過度使用的擔(dān)心）符合題意。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的a.b.c和d項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。aa couple of years ago, before a trip to china, nicole davis and her us womens volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (顯著、突出) of coach “jenny” lang ping in her native country.“i was pushed over by chinese journalists while i was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,” said davis.known as the “iron hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球),lang made it possible for china to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. she was a key player on chinas 1984 olympic gold medal winning team.when the us team arrived for the olympics, lang, 48, who is from beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.then came the greatest moment to lang：while the us team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8,000 chinese fans unfurled an american flag.“that really says it all,” davis said. “they look at her as an icon(偶像)im sure its hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so 高考資源網(wǎng)ly that her success is their success.”the loyalty of the chinese fans was tested on friday, when china lost a match to the us.“its a pity that china lost the match, but im still glad that lang pings team won, since she is the pride of chinas volleyball,” said liu chengli, a spectator. “we also cheered for langs victory.”lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. “it doesnt matter if we play china or any other team. its the same.” lang said.davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the us. the reception from chinese fans has touched the us players, said us volleyball player lindsey berg.“its such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in china,” she said. “the amount of support that the chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. the whole event has been unbelievable.”1whats the passage mainly about?astaying professional.bcheering for the iron hammer.ca match between china and the us.dlang pings career as a coach.2lang ping avoided meeting the reporters and fans probably because she _.awas afraid to be questioned about her strategybdidnt want to be paid much attention tocdisliked to be with her fansddidnt want to disturb public

全解全析1答案b解析本篇文章無明顯的主題句,但字里行間都在講述我國著名排球運(yùn)動員,現(xiàn)美國女排主教練郎平帶隊到中國參加奧運(yùn)會并受到了人們的熱烈歡迎,故應(yīng)選b；而d項意為“郎平的教練生涯”,顯然不合題意。但多數(shù)學(xué)生誤選此項,是由于只注意到了局部信息,犯了以偏賅全的錯誤,而沒有真正理解文章主旨。2答案b解析推理判斷題。從文章第四段的內(nèi)容可以推斷出朗平希望不要太被關(guān)注。3答案c解析詞義猜測題。由文章第五段和第六段可以知道,這里的中國球迷應(yīng)該是“打開、展開”了一面美國國旗,所以選c項。4答案c解析推理判斷題。從文章內(nèi)容可以知道,朗平認(rèn)為不論是對陣中國隊還是其他隊,對她來說,這僅僅是一場比賽而已。由此推斷選c項。5答案b解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可以知道,排球在中國非常受歡迎,所以選b項。閱讀理解-al1pitorabout
