What can drnes d? Their many uses include taking pictures frm the sky, watching wild animals and sending packages f gds. Nw these small flying rbts are leading a big change in farming.

Lking fr sick crps

Drnes can als check fr bacteria that are harmful t crps in the air frm a few kilmeters away, s that farmers can try t find ways t prtect their crps befre the bacteria get t them.
Water watch
Mst fields aren't perfectly flat. There might be hills, slpes and hles. After watering, sme places may dry ut faster. Sme spts might nt get water at all. Drnes can scan the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can find ut which parts f a field are dry r need imprvement. This can make sure every crp can get enugh water t stay healthy.

CIMON 2 is a flating cmputer assistant. It first appeared as a helper in the Internatinal Space Statin(ISS) n December 5th, 2019. Accrding t the space plan, CIMON 2 will g back t Earth in 2022.
Actually, the ISS is a science lab in space. Usually astrnauts stay in it fr five r six mnths. Can yu imagine hw bring it is t live in a tight space with just five ther peple fr six mnths? S CIMON is here.
CMON stands fr Crew Interactive Mbile(互动移动) Cmpanin. As a prduct f a Eurpean airplane cmpany, it is a rbt with a rund face, weighing abut 5 kilgrams. It has n legs r arms, but it can mve where it needs t g with mtrs(马达) inside. Sme peple als describe it as “a kind f flying brain”.
CIMON keeps tw jbs in mind. One is helping astrnauts with tasks. The ther is trying t be “smene” astrnauts can talk t. Helping astrnauts is easy frCIMON—it can see, hear, understand, and speak. The brain f CIMON can understand nt just what peple say, but als what they mean. If astrnauts ask it fr instructins r infrmatin, it can give answers, r use its screen t shw pictures r papers, if needed. In additin, CIMON has several cameras, which can take pictures and vides t help astrnauts keep recrds f experiments r imprtant actins. The mre difficult part f CIMON’s jb is being a cmpanin fr the astrnauts. The first CIMON was able t understand 1, 000 sentences, but that wasn’t enugh. CIMON 1 seemed t misunderstand and becme cnfused when hearing difficult sentences.
CIMON 2 has been imprved s that it can find ut hw peple are feeling. The cmpany wants CIMON 2 t be a calm and trusted friend. This culd be especially imprtant if tensin(紧张气氛) in a grup f astrnauts causes them t stp thinking clearly, and the astrnauts dn’t want t discuss with their teammates, they can turn t CIMON 2.
33. Hw lng did CIMON 2 plan t stay in the science lab in space?
A. Fr abut 5 t 6 mnths.
B. Fr abut 3 years.
C. Fr abut 6 t 12 mnths.
D. Fr abut 1 year.
34. What can we learn abut CIMON?

Hw d yu feel abut nature? After spending hurs indrs, d yu feel better when yu visit yur lcal park? 1 believe the answer must be “YES”.
Mst peple think that nature is gd fr ur bdies and brains. Hwever, humans are spending mre time inside and less time utside. Fr example, the number f visitrs t Canada’s natinal parks is getting smaller every year. And in cuntries such as the USA, nly 10% f teenagers spend time utside every day. Many dctrs feel that this is a prblem in the twenty-first century.
Therefre, sme dctrs are studying the cnnectin between nature and health: ne example is the wrk f Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The dctr gave peple a math test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, ne grup f peple sat in a 3D-irtual-eality (虛拟现实) rm fr fifteen minutes with pictures and sunds f nature. Their heart rates were slwer than peple’s in the ther grup. The virtual tuch with nature helped them feel mre relaxed. The natural wrld allws ur brains t rest and slw dwn, and can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Anther example frm Canada als shws nature is gd fr health. In Trnt, researchers studied31, 000 peple living in the city. In general, they fund that healthier peple lived near parks.
Because f studies like these, sme cuntries and cities want peple t enjy nature in their everyday life. In Dubai, peple plan t build a new shpping mall with a large garden, s shppers can relax utside with trees, plants and water. And Suth Krea has new frests near its cities and arund 13 millin peple visit these frests every year. Getting clse t nature has been thught t be necessary fr braindevelpment in children. In Switzerland, “frest schls” are ppular. Schl children study their subjects in the frests and exercise a lt utside. S after building cities fr s lng, perhaps it’s nw time t start rebuilding nature.
In a wrd, nature hlds a special kind f energy: it is clean, wild and spirit-renewing, which makes us grw strnger△
37. What is the purpse f Paragraph 2?
A. T raise the prblem f peple’s lifestyle.
B. T ffer sme advice fr peple’s lives.
C. T share peple’ s ideas abut nature.
D. T shw peple’s lives in different cuntries.
