But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared（红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest problem s.Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colou-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to fin d. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinksremote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.1. Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are .A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. in poor physical conditionD. exposed to excessive sun rays2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to .A. estimate the damage to the cropsB. draw a colour-coded mapC. measure the size of the affected areaD. locate the problem area3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by .A. resorting to spot-sprayingB. transforming poisoned rainC. consulting infrared scanning expertsD. detecting crop problems at an early stage4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties .A. its high costB. the lack of official supportC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of .A. full support from agricultural expertsB. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceBNuclear-powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)-powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also plan to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.It will be the first time that a nuclear-powered carrier is ba sed in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear powered weapons are based.“A radiation le ak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars indamage,” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44-year-old Kitty Hawk, the US navy’s oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled, will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy’s most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US-Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don t believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense,” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.6. With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanesecitizens .A. are aware of its benefits to the countryB. are anxious about its potential dangerC. are curious about the advanced technologyD. are against where the carrier will be based7. The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to .A. set up a kind of base in JapanB. strengthen the US-Japan military allianceC. show Japan’s greater military capabilityD. get rid of the dated marine weapon8. From the story, we learn that .A. no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriersB. Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weaponsC. Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrierD. Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear powered aircraft carrier9. The underlined word “unveiled” probably means .A. perfectedB. discussed aboutC. producedD. brought to view10. By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that .A. he is quite confident of their military defenseB. he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrierC. what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrierD. it is unnecessary to guard against the two countriesCA．Mauritius，an island lying off the southeast Africa in the Indian Ocean.

What’s so clever about Las Vegas is that it makes absolutely certain that you have such a good time that you don’t mind losing a bit of m oney along the way. That’s why they don’t even call it “gambling” any more，but “gaming”.C．Few cities leave the visitors with such vivid impressions；the whole city is something of a work of art.

On both sides of the Nile stand noble pyramids which were built as the tombs of the ancient pharaohs (法老). Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt，the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest and most studied monuments of human history.现在，请阅读下面信息，根据他们的实际情况，进行信息匹配。
