23、文，主要介绍了将原用于军事和卫星的红外线扫描技术运用于农业的前景，人们为此所做出的努力及遇到的困难。16C。细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段第2行“an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by cropsThe data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were runningfevers”，说明植物在发“高烧”，也就是说，“身体状况”不佳时才会散发热，所以选项C符合题意。17D。推理判断题。本题要求判断使用红外线扫描技术的目的。依据文章第二自然段第4行“
24、showing where plants were running feversFarmers could then spot spray，”说明目的是确定有问题的区域，以使农民有针对性地喷杀虫剂。显然，选项D（确定有问题的地域）为最佳选项。18A。细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段最后一句“Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would”（采取点喷，农民们可以节省平时用量的50至70的杀虫剂），选项A符合题意。19C。推理判断题。依据文章第三自然段的第1句
