As a son of working－class Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby single－bedroom apartment. After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name — Stan Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U．S. Army, Lee married his wife, Joan. The two began their 70－year marriage and had two children.‎ In the late 1950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later with super－team the Justice League of America.‎ To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes. In 1961，Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut (首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee's later famous and lasting creations of comic－book superheroes included SpiderMan, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and the X－Men.‎ Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.‎ ‎1．What do we know about Lee from Paragraph 2?‎ A．He served for the U．S.

But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high－tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment－harming chemicals.‎ One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computer－controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone.‎ The co－founder of ecoRobotix, Aurélien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.‎ Another company developing farm robotics is California－based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”， which it claims was the world's first smart sprayer. The system — which is connected to the back of a tractor — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds.‎ - 7 -‎ ‎ It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice－president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn't know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed — and now it's an expert in pigweed.”‎ ‎5．How will AI benefit agriculture?‎ A．It will fund agriculture research.‎ B．It contributes to low－cost farming.‎ C．It can avoid harmful chemicals.‎ D．It frees all farmers from field work.‎ ‎6．What do the products of the two companies have in common?‎ A．They use recognition technology.‎ B．They are powered by solar energy.‎ C．They are connected with smartphones.‎ D．They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.‎ ‎7．What do Ben Chostner's words suggest about the robot?‎ A．It is environmentally friendly.‎ B．It is good at self－improving.‎ C．It has the learning ability.‎ D．It can track various plants.‎ ‎8．What is mainly talked about in the text?‎ A．The experiment in farming robots.‎ B．New trend in artificial intelligence.‎ C．Modern See & Spray technology.‎ D．Artificial intelligence in agriculture.‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎[2020·福建质量检查]Some people put their bicycles away once they learn how to drive a car.
