本篇是一篇说明文,主要介绍了将原用于军事和卫星的红外线扫描技术运用于农业的前景,人们为此所做出的努力及遇到的困难。
16.C。
细节理解题。
依据文章第二自然段第2行“...aninfraredscannermeasuredtheheatemittedbycrops.Thedataweretransformedintoacolor-codedmapshowingwhereplantswererunning‘fevers’”,说明植物在发“高烧”,也就是说,“身体状况”不佳时才会散发热,所以选项C符合题意。
17.D。
推理判断题。
本题要求判断使用红外线扫描技术的目的。
依据文章第二自然段第4行“...showingwhereplantswererunning‘fevers’.Farmerscouldthenspotspray,...”说明目的是确定有问题的区域,以使农民有针对性地喷杀虫剂。
显然,选项D(确定有问题的地域)为最佳选项。
18.A。
细节理解题。
依据文章第二自然段最后一句“Farmerscouldthenspot-spray,using50to70percentlesspesticidethantheyotherwisewould”(采取点喷,农民们可以节省平时用量的50%至70%的杀虫剂),选项A符合题意。
19.C。
推理判断题。
依据文章第三自然段的第1句“ThebadnewsisthatPalely’scompanycl
oseddownin1984, afteronlythreeyears.Farmersresistedthenewtechnologyandlong-termbackerswerehardtofind”,从中可以看出红外线扫描技术应用于农业遇到了一些问题,原因有两个:
一是农民对新技术的抵制,二是难以找到长期赞助商。
文章中还有一处明显的提示出现在最后一句:
“ButonlyifPalelyfindsthefinancialbackingwhichhefailedtoobtain10yearsago”.从该句提供的信息同样可以反推出10年前的情形,所以选项C正确。
20.B。
细节理解题。
依据文章第三自然段第2行“Butwiththerenewedconcernaboutpesticideonproduce,andrefinementsininfraredscanning,Palelyhopestogetbackintooperation”,可知B项(出于对杀虫剂过度使用的担心)符合题意。
