分析她拒绝我们就工作上提出的建议，尽管这个建议对她的事业有很大的影响．

分析前后两个句子的意思可知，it would have a great effect on her career为一种让步关系，所以用连词even though来引导让步状语从句；as if多引导方式状语从句；now that多引导原因状语从句；in case引导条件状语从句．故选A．

点评本题考查让步状语从句的连接词，连词的辨析要根据上下文的语境进行，要特别注意一些连词的一词多义现象．

Driving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers.The robot,which is called "Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)" will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports,remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit.The robot is intended to be placed on the indication plate in the car and is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in co-operation with Volkswagen.

AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day.Cynthia Breazeal,director of MIT's Personal Robots Group,said: "We are developing AIDA to read the driver's mood from facial expressions and other clues and respond in a proper way."

AIDA works by analyzing the driver's moving patterns,keeping track of common routes and destinations.The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving.Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to his favorite supermarket,suggesting a route that avoids crowded roads.AIDA might recommend a petrol stop on the way if the fuel tank is nearly empty.The robot will also analyze real-time information about traffic jams,the weather report,commercial activities,tourist attractions,and residential areas.

"In developing AIDA,we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion."

"AIDA can also give you response on your driving,helping you drive more efficiently and ensure safer driving behavior," Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added.

Faison worked in the state of Florida as a lawyer for large companies until 2012, when he moved to Virginia to start a farm business. But now, instead of raising crops, he is raising the earnings of local farmers.

Faison seems at ease with life on a farm. Members of his family have been farming for many years. When his grandparents died, he and his brothers and sisters inherited their farm. He says that began the process of trying to decide what they were going to do with it.

Four years ago, Faison left his job as a lawyer in Miami and returned to the family farm in Virginia. Slowly, he began to learn about the economic issues farmers face.

“A lot of small farmers are struggling. And they’re working very hard, but they’re not able to drive the income from farming to make it economically viable.”

Faison said he met with several farmers who raise animals naturally-in other words, they do not give them hormones (激素) or antibiotics (抗生素).

After the meetings, Faison created a company called Milton’s Local，named for his grandfather. Today, his work day is very different from his work as a lawyer.

Milton’s Local sells and transports all-natural meat from local farms to stores and restaurants. Faison says the company helps farmers increase their earnings, supports the local economy and satisfies the buyers of these meat products.

Milton’s Local products have been sold at the Arlington store for more than a yean People like the products, not just because they are natural but because they come from local farms.

That is good news for James Faison. He now works with more than 30 small farms in Virginia and North Carolina. He hopes Milton’s Local will expand，become more profitable and help more small farmers.

1.Why did Faison abandon his job as a lawyer?

A. Because he was tired of being a lawyer.

B. Because he was attempting to do something with their family farm.

C. Because his grandparents asked him to help on their family farm.

D. Because he was worried about his brothers and sisters to inherit their farm.

2.What problem did Faison find about farmers?
