2.Today just as technology changed the face of industry,farms have experienced anagricultural 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(精确的) records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant,hw 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 mdern 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 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 orer 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.

A.how much money they can earn from their products
B.whether to plant a certain kind of crop

D.Students at agricultural colleges needn't take their normal agricultural courses.

15.We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
"Look down,Elsa,"father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of the twisting,turning streets leading to the square."See,my dear,"father said gently."There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road,try another."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help,he didn't say anything.Instead,he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home,I had a plan.
At school the next day,I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅出)"The cook must have gone mad!"Quickly I told her what I had done,and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
     In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't st op working until I tried every possible means to my goal.Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

9.A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen,commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer,actually increases the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma.They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin form the harmful effects of the sun,sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer,which is increasing in incidence faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But question have been raise about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect,perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer---people with fair skin and freckles,for example-are more likely to use sunscreen.As a result,it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies,which generally relied on volunteers to recall their use,were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied,said the new study.
13.The underlined word"flaws"in the 2nd paragraph most probably meansC.
A.evidences        B.facts       C.faults               D.failures
14.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B.the volunteers have proved the effects of sunscreen
C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D.the number of skin caner patients is increasing in America
15.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A
A.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles.

"If you're in a long-term relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation,"adds James."You don't need to go crazy,but it's a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them.
"It's also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than one big one.Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping,so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy."
