50、ere produce is sorted for market. The system is designed to identify the produce polluted by soil or animal waste. The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research centre
51、in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to test the polluted produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”The scanner uses a highspeed camera placed over the conveyer belt that

A spectrograph device can use the light to check an apple to show evidence of damage. Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.MOON KIM: “We are targeting for
53、development in commercial plants for the next several years.”The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones.

58、述】 本文主要介绍了美国科学家开发了一种使用高科技光学扫描仪的实验系统。1C 主旨大意题。由本文的内容以及其主题句,即第三段第一句“Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a hightech optical(光学的)scanner.”可知,本文主要介绍了一种用来检测被污染的产品的实验系统,故选C项。2C 细节理解题。由倒数第三段“Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.”以及
59、本文最后一句“The inventors hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.”可知这一扫描仪还在试验当中且需要改进,故选C项。3B 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.”可知水果损害之后更难吸引购物者,也就会导致其很难卖出。 4A 细节理解题。由画线词前一句“one way to avoid such problems is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply.”可知,要从食物的来源里找到有害的病菌是有困难的。5D 推理判断题。由文章中把MOON KIM说话的内容直接引入的形式来看,本文应该是一篇新闻报道。
