         Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an "agricultural
    revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide all the power.
         One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers
    are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them
    keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much
    livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer
    companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being
    written for hog(猪) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers
    will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance
    of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in
    addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers
    even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms
    depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
         Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real "mechanized
    hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Unlike farmers of
    the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists
    are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit.
    Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must
    first drive them into the special barn(畜棚), then connect them to the milking machines, watch the
    machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots.
    In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that
    the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that
    some robots will be used before long.
    1.Which sentence carries the main idea of the whole passage?  
    A. The first sentence of the first paragraph.   
    B. The first sentence of the second paragraph.   
    C. The first sentence of the third paragraph.     
    D. The last sentence of the second paragraph.

    A. how much money they can earn from their products
    B. whether to plant a certain kind of crop  
    C. whom to sell their livestock to  
    D. when to sell their products
    3. Which of the following statements is true?

    B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.
    C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.

         WASHINGTON -According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
    72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.
         The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.
    The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks
    in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
         While the F.B.I. and other law enforcement(执行) officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the
    rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.
         "In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave
    home, you can't guarantee that you will come back," said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County,
    Va.
         After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked federal authorities
    to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.
          The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay
    College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had
    previously been arrested for a violent crime.
         That prompted the F.B.I. to change what information it will provide to local police departments,
    the officials said. Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the
    F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history. Through the
    first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.
         Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police
    Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at
    greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront (对抗)
    suspects who seem likely to be armed. In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more
    officers into crime-ridden areas.
         Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy. With less money, police
    departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).
         The police chief in Camden, N.J., J. Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half
    last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street "makes it that much
    more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack anothe
    r person, let alone a law enforcement officer."
         "Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and
    prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out." Ms. Klimt said.
