Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock(家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

  Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized(机械的) hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

24. Why are students at agricultural colleges required to take computer classes?

A. Because computers help them keep more accurate records.

B. Because they need to develop special computer programs just for farmers.

C. Because computers will be more and more important on future farms.

D.Because computer classes are more important than normal agricultural courses.

25. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Computers are now used by many farmers to help run their farms.

B. Computers can help farmers to make better decisions and predictions.

C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.

D. Farms may be totally changed in the coming years.

26. What’s the author’s attitude toward the agricultural revolution?

A. Positive B. Negative C. Doubtful D. Indifferent

27. What is the best title for the whole passage?

A. Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend B. Farmers in The Future

C. Computers and Robots D. The Agricultural Revolution

C

A new study in December’s Journal of Family Psychology says that working mothers report being healthier and happier than the stay-at-home mothers. The author, Dr. Cheryl Buehler, concludes that “A mother’s economic role is central to family life, and it supports her well-being and her parenting.” What about the miserably conflicted working mother crying at her desk because her baby’s first words were “au pair(家务女工)”?

Though Buehler’s study relies on data from more than 1,300 mothers of young children across the U.S. — tracked over a 10-year period — the research is far from perfect. To begin with, it’s pretty old, as it covers the decade beginning in 1991. So it’s unfair to ask whether contemporary(当代的) working moms, whose companies have been downsized(减员的) and whose bosses may expect them to turn on their BlackBerries for 24 hours, are quite as peaceful as their Clinton-time mothers. Even more importantly, the study focused on part-time working moms.

But what really makes this study unique is that the focus is on the mothers as well as the children. After decades of research on how working mothers affect their children, somebody’s finally gotten around to investigate how it affects the moms. The study also takes a big step to the ongoing need for flexibility(灵活性) in the American workplace – and at home, because this is the power of balance. What’s right for any family is what makes the members within it as happy and fulfilled as possible.

The idea that both work and parenting — especially in combination — can contribute to a woman’s mental and physical health is good news. But we’re complicated beings and the things that satisfy us are diverse(多元的). They’re our children and our careers. Nobody said it was easy. But maybe if you want to have it all, a good place to start is by doing it all.

28. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?

A. Working mother doesn’t like her job.

B. Working mother is often not very happy.

C. Working mother hates the au pair very much.

D. Working mother loves to cry to relax herself.

29. What do we know from the second paragraph?

A. Part time working mothers are happier than before.

B. The Clinton-time mothers are much busier than today’s.

C. Today’s moms have much better cellphones than before.

D. The contemporary working moms have much more pressure.

30. In the third paragraph, the author _______.

A. emphasizes the flexibility in the American working time

B. believes it is not very important to do this kind for research

C. loves to see the research on how working mothers affect themselves

D. considers study on how working mothers affect their children necessary

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What to Do When You Break Your Smartphone

As you pick the smartphone you just dropped from the pavement, your mind races. You can’t afford a new one. How will you check your Wechat(微信) messages? Here are some of the things you can try if you break your phone.

31

Smartphones are held together with screws(螺丝) and pins, which means in many cases, if you’re handy enough, you can easily fix them. 32

One site in particular, ifixit.com, offers guides for replacing and fixing nearly every part of a wide variety of smartphones, ranging from the very first iPhone all the way to the iPhone 7 Plus.

Bring it to a repair shop

Smartphone repair shops are all over the place these days. 33 Depending on the damage to your phone, the price for repairs can range anywhere from $29 to more than $250.

Try selling your damaged phone

So your phone is damaged, and you don’t want to spend the money to get it fixed. Why not try selling it? 34 Gazelle, for example, will pay you $40 for a 16GB iPhone 5s with a broken display, while Glyde will pay you $142 for an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen.

Buy a refurbished(翻新的) phone

So you’ve sold your broken smartphone and now you’ve got some extra spending cash, but it’s still nowhere near enough to cover the full cost of a new smartphone, which can run more than $600. 35

Well, if preowned(二手的) phones don’t bother you, you can buy a refurbished handset from any number of carriers or stores at a modest discount.

A. What can you do?

B. Get insurance next time.

C. Try repairing it yourself.

D. So why not see if one of these stores can fix your busted(损坏的) handset?

E. In fact, there are entire websites designed to help you repair your own phone.

F. How much you get for your damaged phone depends on the model and what kind of issues it has.

G. And if they don’t want your phone and you want to make sure that it’s at least recycled, they’ll do that too.

W: Why? You are all wet.

M: I didn't bring my umbrella with me. The weather forecast said it would be sunny.

W: But you could see the big black clouds this morning.



Text 2

M: What do you think of your new roommate?

W: Well, she's a bit untidy. Apart from that, she's really sweet.

M: You should have some patience then.



Text 3 

W: I haven't seen John these days.

M: He's moved out. He's now living in a quieter place.

W: Is it far from the school?

M: Yes, but he said it's worth the trouble.



Text 4

W: Sir, did you see the "NO PARKING" sign?

M: I won't be here long. My wife will finish the movie in five minutes.

W: Sorry, sir. Not even for one minute! You'll get fined if you don't go.



Text 5

M: Does Jane still play the violin?

W: Yes. She's practising it every day.

M: You should be happy then.

W: Yeah. It's Bob that's worried about. He really wants to buy drums. But he thinks we spent all that money on the guitar and he has hardly used it.



Text 6

W: Excuse me. What's happened? Will the plane take off tonight?

M: Sorry, Madam. The airport is closed. Planes won't take off until tomorrow morning.

W: What? Then where can we stay for the night?

M: We've arranged the rooms for you in the airport hotel. Two passengers will share a room.

W: Em, that's too bad.

M: Any problem, Madam?

W: Yes, I have a bad habit. I can't sleep without lights on.

M: Oh, really? Just now a lady told me she had the same habit.

Text 7

W: My camera has broken down. I'm thinking of buying a new one.

M: Try MA-205. You won't regret it.

W: I know this model is of good quality and design but it's too expensive.

M: You can buy a cheaper one on the Internet.

W: On the Internet? How?

M: Use a search engine and search for “cheap MA-205”.

W: A search engine? Em, what's that?

M: You really live in the stone age. All right, tell me your budget and I'll see whether I can get one for you.



Text 8

W: I want to have my hair done. Do you have any suggestions?

M: You can take a look at this magazine. It has some of the newest styles.

W: Er, I like this style. It's pretty. Do you think it suits me?

M: Well, do you really want to keep your hair that long? I think you will look better 

with short hair.

W: I'll leave that up to you. I'm ready for a change.

M: Do you want to change the color of your hair? It will be shinier in wine red and 

will light up your face.

W: Yeah, I believe so. But would that do much harm to my hair?

M: Not really. We have some of the best hair care products.

W: Em, maybe another day. By the way, how much do you charge?

M: 80 dollars in total.



Text 9

M: Are you OK, Lily? You don't look very happy.

W: Oh, David. I had an argument with mum again. I'm not getting enough pocket 

money.

M: How much do you get?

W: Five pounds a week.

M: That sounds reasonable to me.

W: Well, I'm 14 and if you are going to town shopping, you can never have enough

money. Everything is so expensive.

M: But is it a fair amount of money? Compare what your friends get.

W: Well, we all get the same. But I have to buy all my music things as well as things for school and have hardly anything left to spend on clothes.

M: Right. Do you have to help around house?

W: Not really.

M: So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money?

W: Mum said if I did that I will never have time to do my school work.

M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you are 15?

W: Well, Mum just says she'll decide when I'm ready to have more. And I've just got to wait.

M: Maybe you should sit down with her and say "How can I prove that I am old

    Welcome aboard. Welcome to Anderson Tour to Stonehenge and Bath. Well, we've 

got everyone here. My name is Lorra and I'll be your tour guide. Our driver is Gary.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us. That's what we're here for.    

 First, just a few ways about safety. The coach is equipped with seat belts. In Britain it's required to fasten the belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask you there should be no food or drink on the coach. Now to arrangements today. We'll first visit Stonehenge, a world famous historic sight. The journey takes about two hours 

depending on traffic. You'll have about one hour to explore the area, and your tour 

manager will advise you what time to be back on the coach. We then leave Stonehengeand go on to Bath, a beautiful city standing on the River Avon among hills of 

England's Western Country. After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city 

centre. The tour manager will walk you into the world well-known Roman Baths built by the Romans in the 3rd century AD. And from this point on, you'll have free time to explore the city and grab some lunch. 15:30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London.

    Hope you enjoy the trip.
