The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring, as the old saying goes. April is an important period for spring plowing. And being a farmer is a lot of work. Luckily, smart technology is helpful in farming. Drones（无人机）, apps, driverless tractors（无人驾驶拖拉机）—how are these technologies changing one of the world’s oldest jobs? Let’s take a look.

Drones You may think drones are only for shootingvideos. These eyes in the sky are also （拍摄）

试卷第6页，共11页

used by farmers to watch crops, find pestsand make sure that water is used efficiently. （害虫）

Drones can also help humans do physical work. In Xinjiang, for example,over 5,000 drones farm 1.3 million hectares（公顷）of land, according to Global Times. Powered by China’s Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System, the drones can spread seeds, fertilizer（化肥）and pesticides（农药）faster and better than humans.

Driverless tractors

Driverless transport is still being developed. This technology can help farms plant and harvest. Driverless tractors can work in fields around the clock, without stopping.

Smart Ag is a US company that produces driverless tractors. The tractors have sensors, radar and GPS. Pulling a crop cart, the tractor can automaticallyreceive （传感器）（自动地）crops from a combine（收割机）and then send the cart to be unloaded（卸货）. According to technology officer Mark Barglof, “It is able to notice objects and won’t run over people or run into other equipment（设备）”.

The irrigation app

One of the most important jobs for farmers is to make sure that plants get water. A new smartphone app called Smart Irrigation can help.

Developed by an agricultural scientist at the University of Georgia, US, the app uses GPS technology to tell farmers when to water their crops. It connects to the closest weather station to learn about local rainfall, and it estimates（估计）how much water the plants need each day. It’s not just for farmers: people can use it to decide when to water their lawns. 38．What can we learn about driverless tractors? A．Driverless tractors are produced by a British company. B．Driverless tractors can’t avoid bumping into other equipment. C．Driverless tractors use a combine to receive and unload crops. D．Driverless tractors may help farmers more in the future. 39．What does the underlined phrase “around the clock” mean? A．Under the control of a clock. C．Next to a clock.

It looks like a clay（黏土）toy. But it can be used as a whistle（哨子）. This is taiping nijiaojiao, a traditional toy from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. Its birthplace was Huashan village in Zheajiang. It’s said to date back to the Southern Dynasty (420-5), with a history of more than 1,000 years.

Taiping nijiaojiao is made of local mountain mud. It takes more than 10 steps to make, including kneading, making blowholes and coloring. From animals to plants, it can be made into anything. Often, it uses traditional cultural things that carry good meanings, like plum blossoms （梅花）. In 2016, the clay figurine art of taiping nijiaojiao was added to Jiangsu’s intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化）list.

Zhou Baokang who is 60 years old is an inheritor（传承人）of the taiping nijiaojiao art form. According to Zhou, anyone can try making taiping nijiaojiao.

八、阅读补全句子

Chinese is a beautiful but complex (复杂的) language, with tens of thousands of characters. When you come across a Chinese character that you don’t know, what do you do? You might look it up in a dictionary and find its pinyin. Pinyin, a system that uses the Latin alphabet (拉丁字母), tells us how to read Chinese characters.

In 1958, Chinese linguist (语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin. They created the system to help illiterate (不识字的) Chinese people learn how to read. This idea worked out quite well. The illiteracy rate (比率) in China dropped from 80 percent in the 1950s to 52 percent in 19. In 2018, it’s only 4.08 percent, Guangming Daily reported.

Pinyin has been useful in other ways, too. It helps to promote (推广) the use of Mandarin (普通话), so that people who speak different dialects (方言) can still understand each other.

Pinyin is also finding its place in other languages. The Oxford English Dictionary now includes more than 100 pinyin entries (词条), such as jiaozi for “dumplings” and zhongguomeng for “Chinese dream”.

Foreign media sometimes use pinyinin reports about China. As Guangming Daily noted, pinyin is both a language tool and a cultural bridge that connects China to the world. 66．Chinese has tens of thousands of ________. If we don’t know a Chinese character, we can ________ in a dictionary.

67．Pinyin ________ by Zhou Youguang and his team in 1958. It is a system that uses the Latin alphabet to help people learn how to ________ Chinese characters.

68．Pinyin helps ________ the illiteracy rate in China, which dropped from ________ in the 1950s to 4.08 percent in 2018.

69．With the help of pinyin, Mandarin is used ________, so people from different areas can

试卷第10页，共11页

understand each other. Moreover, more than 100 ________ are now included in the Oxford English Dictionary.

70．From the passage, we know pinyin is not only ________ but also a bridge that spreads Chinese ________ to the world.
