But it has proved a difficult task.

29、 Robots that walk or roll along the ground can step on the easily damaged plants heavily. And they have to stop working when rain turns fields muddy. “Tarzan”, however, could deal with some of those challenges.Jonathan Rogers is a robotics expert at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Wh

30、en it comes to a farm environment, he realized robots would face many problems. “Many robots tend to get twisted(彎曲的) together or get stuck,”he says. Whats more, he notes, Its very hard to leave them out for long periods without a human helping them.”What if the robot could move above the crops? Jon

31、athan Rogers says, “The sloths(樹懶)move from tree branch to tree branch to avoid having to walk around the forest floor. Then his team set out to design a robot that could swing hand to hand along wires hung above the field. He named their invention Tarzan after the jungle-swinging character in a mov

32、ie.Tarzan is not the first swinging robot. Mark Spong, a robotics researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas notes that some teams have built robots that do gymnastics or copy mammals. But he says he admires Tarzan for its using swinging movement to save energy and the idea of building a wire s

33、tructure to move around above crops.Rogers first predicted that Tarzan could help farmers monitor crops with sensors (傳感器) and cameras. But he also said future robots might take water to a particularly thirsty plant or fertilize one that needs nutritional support. And adding a third “hand”could allo

34、w such a robot to harvest fruits and vegetables. Finally the robot could move off the farm and into the city, helping deal with the traffic and security.38.

37、rking people in cities.DMost scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place. Gases such as carbon dioxide are creating a warm blanket around the earth. This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere, and so raising the temperature of the earth.In Europe, eight of the last ten years

38、have seen record high temperatures. On the other hand, the countries around the Mediterranean Sea are receiving even less rain than before. In Sub- Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation. In 1999, the southern United States was struck by a serious of

39、 destructive(毀滅性) hurricanes. Scientists expect such trends to continue, and to worsen, if global warming cannot be stopped.In addition to worrying about rising global temperatures and extreme weather conditions, scientists are closely monitoring sea levels around the world. They are slowly rising,

40、as the northern and southern polar ice caps start to melt. This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea. Already parts of these places are disappearing under the rising sea water.According to a new research, one contradictory feature(特征) of global warming is that it will

41、probably lead to a period of much colder weather. Scientists base their theory on what happened the last time the world warmed up, 8,300 years ago. They have discovered that when the ice melted from the northern polar ice cap it became trapped in a lake in northern Canada. As more ice melted, this l

42、ake suddenly burst open, pouring millions of tons of freezing fresh water into the North Atlantic. This flood of water prevented the normal flow of water in the Atlantic, which takes warm water from the tropics(熱帶地區(qū)) north to Europe. When this flow of warm water was cut off, temperatures in Europe d

43、ropped by between three and eight degrees over the next 200 years. Thats the concern here, says Richard Alley, an American climate expert. The climate hasnt varied much in 8, 000 years. But big changes could come back!42. What is the overall effect of global warming on Europe?A. A warmer climate.B.

45、 years ago?A. By offering statistics.B. By giving an example.C. By making comparisons.D. By analyzing the process.45. What can we infer from Richard Alley s words?A. Global climate change will bring more disasters.B. Global warming will likely produce a colder climate.C. Global warming will continue

46、 for the next two centuries.D. Global climate will remain unchangeable in the next 8,000 years.第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，共10分)根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Lets look back at all these years gone by.
