Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you39。ll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child39。s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear。 we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost kneedeep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they39。d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a rubycrowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what39。s around them. I asked them what they39。d seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more ____________. to do wonders to others39。 feelings to develop unpleasant habits to explore the world around them(2)What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? avoid jumping to conclusions. stop plaining all the time. follow the teacher39。s advice. admit mistakes honestly.(3)The bird watchers39。 behavior shows that they __________. very patient in their observation really fascinated by nature only about the names of birds the accuracy of the field guides(4)Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? natural beauty isn39。t attractive to them. focus on arriving at the camp in time. forest in the dark is dangerous for them. are keen to see rare birds at the destination.(5)In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________. our senses to feel the wonders of the world rid of some bad habits in our daily life our mind to new things and ideas our best to protect nature【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)C(4)B(5)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇散文。我們有多久沒有仔細(xì)觀察我們周圍的世界了。作者通過此文要告訴我們:放慢腳步,帶著我們所有的感官來感受周圍世界的奇妙。(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.

But can they pick a strawberry? It39。s really hard for robots to match what humans can do, says Bob Pizter, an expert on robots. Any 4yearold kid can pick a strawberry, but machines can39。t seem to figure it out. Pizter says the hardest thing for them is finding the fruit. Pizter39。s strawberrypicking robot is rolling into a strawberry field. This welldesigned device drives itself. It39。s as big as a bus, long enough to straddle (跨越) a dozen rows of strawberries at once. Powerful puters are sitting on top. Underneath, there are highdefinition cameras to find the berries, and robotic claws ready to pick them. Nobody39。s telling it what to do, explains Paul Bissett, the chief operating officer of Harvest CROO Robotics. It39。s remembering its path down the row. It39。s remembering where all these plants are. It knows all this, thanks to the superaccurate GPS. Its puter brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That39。s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands. On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. There are weaknesses to work out, but it39。s getting there. We39。re close. he says. Strawberry panies are putting millions of dollars into this project. The reason, Gary Wishnatzki, the owner of Wish Farms says, is that it39。s getting more and more difficult to find enough people to pick his berries. The fact of the matter is, if we don39。t solve the problem of this labor shortage wit
