It needs large areas(地方), so there will not be enough space for people 18.to_live(live) in. The land will then be 19.polluted(pollute) and fewer 20.plants(plant) can grow. Next, we should keep the seas and rivers clean. Fishes can’t live in polluted water, so it may be impossible for us to enjoy so much seafood or swim 21.happily(happy) in the sea in the future. Third, everyone should help to keep the air clean. Polluted air is bad 22.for our physical health. So we must stop people and factories from 23.polluting(pollute) the air. To make the earth 24.__a__ better place, everyone should learn to love our planet from now on. And everyone should play a part in 25.saving(save) the earth.
五、阅读理解
Farmers have been farming for thousands of years. But as robots are taken to the farms, maybe they needn’t work that hard anymore.
A robot can feed animals and do a lot of other farm work. It has been first tested(检测) on a farm in Australia.
SwagBot is a cheap, strong Australian robot. In a test last month on a farm near Newcastle, Australia, SwagBot showed off its skills.
In a YouTube video, people can see SwagBot feed animals and make its way around farms. The robot with all wheel drive(全轮驱动) can walk 9 to 12 miles per hour (15 to 20 kilometers per hour) on farms.
Over the next few years, the University of Sydney lab(实验室) plans to improve the robot. “We hope it can do some jobs such as animal monitoring(监测) and cleaning,” said Professor Salah Sukkarieh.
During the test, the robot performed as what it was asked to do and scared cows away(把奶牛吓跑)．
“They were really afraid and ran away. It’s what we expected,” Professor Sukkarieh told us. “We can make full use of it in looking after animals.”
“Over the next few months, we’ll be looking at what we need to put together to make the animal monitoring possible,” he told New Scientist.
At the same time in the UK, a robot made by the University of Lincoln could also make the crops picking faster.
