21、 Strawberry (草莓) fields dotted with hunched-over workers picking and packaging, then pushing the delicate red fruit to waiting trucks — it is a typical winter scene embedded in the patchwork of homes and farms that make up eastern Hillsborough County.

That scene is changing, though, as the labor pool shrinks and technology comes knocking. Wish Farms owner Gary Wishnatzki and his engineer partner Bob Pitzer are banking on technology.

As strawberry season wrapped up in February, their driverless strawberry-picking machine drove into the fields for some test runs. The results were impressive and enlightening（有启迪作用的）, Wishnatzki said.

For some three years now, farmers have been forced to abandon millions of dollars worth of strawberries in fields, mostly in Hillsborough and Manatee counties, because they lacked laborers, industry experts say. The problem has been just as serious in California, Arizona and other farm communities.

The reasons for the shrinking worker pool are numerous. Migrant（移民）workers who have picked the fields for years are aging. Young adults in migrant families already in the United States are getting better educations and have more choices these days, including the construction industry, which again is on the upswing. Stricter security is allowing fewer undocumented workers to cross the border from Mexico. And Mexicans are having much smaller families now  — just over two children per family, compared with 7.3 per family in 1960, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report released in 2012.

And since Mexico’s economy bounced back faster than that of the U.S., more Mexicans have been able to find work closer to home, according to the study.

“We came up with a concept we perceive as a necessity,” Wishnatzki said. “The labor pool has been shrinking for over 10 years now. It has been pretty harmful.” So in 2012, he and Pitzer formed their partnership, Harvest CROO Robotics, to develop a mechanical picker.

The Harvest CROO design has multiple picking heads that will move across a field, picking 25 acres over a three-day period, the typical time for picking fruit as it ripens. It has a “vision system” to distinguish between red and green strawberries and is able to get under the leaves to find and pick the ripe berries.

Picking strawberries is nothing like using a combine on a corn field, coming through and thrashing down the plants. Strawberries are delicate and ripen in various intervals, which Harvest CROO is taking into account in developing its machine.

A strawberry-picking machine will never completely replace the need for human labor in the fields, Wishnatzki said, but if the machines can supplement（补充）labor enough to keep the industry profitable, he and Pitzer will have met their goal.

【1】Which of the following describes the typical winter scene of eastern Hillsborough County?

A. Farmers work hard on a corn field.

B. Workers pick and package strawberries.

C. Scientists test machines in strawberry fields.

D. Farmers operate strawberry-picking machines.

【2】The mechanical picker is introduced due to ______.

A. the labor shortage

B. the market demand

C. the aging of the local population

D. the new concept of farming

【3】Which of the following statements about Mexicans is true according to the passage?

A. Mexicans like to find jobs far away from home.

B. There are more Mexican laborers than needed in Arizona.

C. Security regulations now make it easier to employ Mexicans.

D. Young people from migrant Mexican families now have access to more career choices.

【4】 The “vision system” is designed to ______.

A. take pictures

B. locate leaves

C. find the ripe berries

D. help the color-blind

【5】The goal of developing the strawberry-picking machine is to ______.

A. get rid of human labor

B. help farmers make money

C. show the power of robots

D. compete with the corn industry

22、Born in Belgium on April 4, 1527, Abraham Ortelius is known as the inventor of the atlas (地图集). During that time, there was renewed interest in the study of classical antiquity, history, Greek, and philosophy across Western Europe.

Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel, so he began collecting books, prints, paintings, wall maps, and coins from all over Europe. During one trip to Poitiers, France, Ortelius met cartographer (制图员) Gerard Mercator, who inspired him to start producing maps himself. Ortelius began his career as a map colorist for the Guild of Saint Luke in Ant- werp in 1547, and then became a map designer at the Plantin company in 1587.

Ortelius’s first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. First printed in 1570, it fea- tured a collection of 53 maps, all the same style and size, printed from metal plates and arranged by continent, region, and state. The atlas was soon gaining traction. It had to be re- printed 4 times in the first year of publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.

The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum atlas featured one of Ortelius’s most famous maps- Typus Orbis Terrarum. The hand-colored map covered the entire world from pole to pole, revealing the shape and size of different continents. At the time the map was made — much of North America was yet to be explored — so naturally, large parts of the geography were merely theoretical. The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements of longitudes (经度) at the time. It’s also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear on the map, and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.

However, the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period, and represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking. It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.

【1】What can be inferred about Ortelius?

A．He was an inspiration to Mercator.

B．He was a great collector of Asian art.

C．He became a map designer at age 20.

D．He had a great curiosity about the world.

【2】What does the underlined word “traction” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Awareness.

B．Insight.

C．Popularity.

D．Evidence.

【3】What was a problem with Typus Orbis Terrarum?

A．It just covered the European continent.

B．It lacked detail and preciseness.

C．It was black and white in color.

D．It was poorly printed.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the map?

A．Appreciative.

B．Uninterested.

C．Critical.

D．Worried.

23、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项

Summer is slipping away from me．Some days, it makes me want to cry．Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst．Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.

At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy．He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief．I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie．I live for his afternoon nap(小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.

The big E is starting school soon．The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year．I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary．Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is．I can’t change time．But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts．I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face．I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.

This week we plan on meeting teachers．I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten．We want to bake a few dozen cookies．We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late．And last but not least, I’ll get school clothes ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read “The Kissing Hand,” like we normally do, and I’ll tuck(掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.

Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need．And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you．

24、Children learn by example. It has been said that the values and ideas we want to teach the children should be done in the early years. If this teaching-learning period is handled responsibly by parents and guardians, a lot can be achieved. 【1】 Simple politeness should be shown right from the beginning. Parents must talk politely to their children and expect the same from them. All rude responses must be firmly rejected.

【2】 This can be done by giving them simple duties as early as possible. Duties can be as simple as putting toys away when the children are done playing with them. They can be taught to put away their clothes or shoes in the respective places on a daily basis. Children are quick to learn. 【3】

Children should be taught to sit down and play quietly or read a book if they can. In creating this habit, parents play a vital role as they also have to sit down and occupy themselves. 【4】 They want things to be exciting and fast-moving. If parents themselves do not read or spend time quietly, it is hard to expect the children to do so.

Of course, we must also realize that some children will be different. 【5】 They will want to test the limits set and want to be individualistic. Parents may have to allow some space so that creativity and inventiveness can be developed. While some amount of discipline is good, it must not be allowed to destroy their imaginative nature.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Kathy was a shy girl,who really liked dancing. One day, she had promised her mother to get herself a pair of boots, but as she wandered through Waller’s department store, she was looking at the things she couldn’t afford or wouldn’t be allowed to wear. That beautiful hat, for instance, was just like the one her classmate had.

When Kathy was walking along the aisles with her head down, it was the sign BEAU CATCHERS in front of some hair ribbons that stopped her. Around the sign was a selection of those bow ribbons for your hair. In every color of the rainbow, it said-pick a color to suit your personality.

She stood there a moment, wondering if her mother would let her wear a big bow like that.“This would be a nice one for you, dear,” said the saleslady. “Oh, no, I couldn’t wear anything like that,”she answered, but at the same time she was reaching for the green ribbon. The saleslady, looking surprised, replied,“with that lovely copper-colored hair and those pretty eyes? Why, child, you could wear anything.” And she quickly fastened the bow in Kathy’s hair and advised,“One thing you have to remember, honey, if you are going to wear anything unusual, you will be different and look positively exciting.”

“I’ll take it,” Kathy said and paid for the ribbon. She rushed out of the store so fast that she bumped into a big woman with a lot of packages and almost got knocked over. As she neared the door,the funny old man was staring at her-a man with black eyes and a gray mustache under a green hat-you could feel that under the mustache he was smiling at the beau catcher!

The next moment a shiver of fright went through her, for the man was actually following her. She started to look around, but then she heard him call to her.She ran like a rabbit, and she didn’t stop running until she was a block away.

Suddenly she was in front of the school hall, and she realized she had been intending to go there from the start, for every girl at school knew this was the place where the best dancer Morris spent Saturday afternoons. He was there all right, training some dancers in the hall. Their dance steps were swift and graceful.Kathy was so eager to join them. Soon she realized that he had turned and was staring at her. She stood very straight, holding her head high, conscious of that green beau catcher in her hair.

Paragraph 1

About ten minutes later,the unbelievable thing happened.

Paragraph 2

She dashed to the ribbon counter in the store as the doors were being shut.
