2021高考英语昆明市（三月）阅读类课外自练（6）及答案

阅读下面短文，把握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural 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 records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how 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 farms depended on horse power, and modern 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 order 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.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相冲突) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation. A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.
The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.
“If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the study’s lead author.
“The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water.
“The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.
Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth.
On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.
“An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said.
1. A new study indicates that　　　on the moon.
A. there is plenty of water B. water is unlikely to exist
C. water existed in the past D. there is a little water now
2. The author would like to tell us　　　through the sixth paragraph.
A. why there is no water on the Moon B. how the Moon was formed
C. when the Earth struck the Moon D. where the Moon orbited
3. What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph?
A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon.
B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon.
C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon.
D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth.
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.
B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.
C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.
D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.
5. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are enough water on the Earth.
B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.
C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.
D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.
