What can drones do? Their many uses include taking pictures from the sky, observing（观察）wild animals and delivering packages. Now these small flying robots are leading a new farming revolution（革命）, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

When equipped（装备）with cameras and other data-gathering devices, drones provide us with an eye in the sky. Here are a few of the farming-related jobs drones can do.

Looking for sick crops

Drones can scan（扫描）crops using different kinds of light. Then, they produce multispectral images（多谱图像）that can help us find sickly yellow plants within fields of green. Drones can also detect bacteria（检测细菌）that are harmful to crops in the air from a few kilometers away. Farmers can check the drones’ air samples（样本）and try to find ways to protect their crops before the bacteria get to them.

Counting cattle

When flying over cattle, drones can track the livestock and find out where fences need fixing. People can also equip drones with thermal imagers（热像仪）and night-vision cameras. This can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cattle.

Water watch

Most fields aren’t perfectly flat（平坦的）. After watering, some places may dry out faster than others. Other spots might not get water at all. Drones can scan the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement.

Spraying pesticide（喷洒农药）

Different parts of a field might be uneven or have different altitudes（高度）. Drones can check for this when flying above the land. Then, they change their height and therefore spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field. This is more efficient than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field up to five times faster than with traditional machinery, according to a study from MIT.

1.What can drones do to help farmers with their farming?

A.Take pictures. B.Look at wild animals. C.Deliver packages. D.Look for sick crops.

2.What do drones need to help guard cattle at night?

A.Wooden fences. B.Air samples. C.Night-vision cameras. D.3-D printers.

3.What does the underlined word “uneven” probably mean?

A.不肥沃的 B.不相连的 C.不平衡的 D.不平坦的

4.What do we know from the story?

A.Drones can’t detect bacteria unless crops are sick.

B.Drones can fight dangerous animals.

C.Drones can help farmers make sure fields are properly watered.

D.Drones are better at spraying pesticide over flat land.

Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise, wild beavers hadn't lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ends in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the beavers help the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it "an amazing story".

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬,啃)on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people's land.

Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world's rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

1.Which of the following best explains "boosting" in paragraph 1?

A.building B.spreading C.helping D.creating

2.Why did the government want a trial first? Because they wanted to ________.

A.grow more plants along the river

B.build dams for the beavers in the wild

C.introduce the beavers to the wild

D.see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild

3.What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A.They help plants grow and make flooding less. B.They bring heavy rain and floods.

C.They gnaw on trees and harm them. D.Their dams create floods on people's land.

4.How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news story which have been reintroduced to the wild?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

5.How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

A.Embarrassed. B.Pleased. C.Tired. D.Disappointed.
