why … communication skills

The past several years have witnessed a social phenomenon that an increasing number of students lack communication skills. According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of 56.6 percent of students admitted that they had difficulty in talking with their parents or peers.

It is generally believed that communication skills are of great importance. They enable us to express ourselves clearly and avoid any misunderstandings.Imagine an elite university graduate who is bad at interactions，and he will have difficulty in building harmonious cooperation and effective communication between colleagues and won’t be willing to learn from or ask them for guidance and support, which has a negative influence on his development in the long run.

Therefore, by some means or other we must come to know how to improve communication skills . It is necessary for us students to set aside some time from academic studies to consciously cultivate speaking ability Only in this way, can we better prepare ourselves for the future.

第二套

The past several years have witnessed a social phenomenon that people want to lead a life without any challenges According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of 56.6 percent of students admitted that they saw challenges as troubles.

However, it is generally believed that challenges are of great importance to our growth. Without them, a person is unable to make progress and draw precious life lessons, especially in this modern society. A theory has it that the moment we see challenges as opportunities rather than difficulties, we will no longer have this crazy fear of encountering them along the journey. Therefore, in order to gain personal growth, we should lay great emphasis on challenges.

In brief, taking into account all of these factors, we may reach the conclusion that challenges may cause frustration or even pain, but they also offer opportunities for growth.

第三套

3.Innovation

We hear the term “innovation” everywhere and are made to believe in its importance. For many of us, innovation means providing ideas out of the blue, leading to significant discoveries and achievements. Looking at the reasons why innovation is so important, you will have a better understanding of why you need to innovate every chance you get.

First of all, innovation can promote the advancement of our society. With innovation, any progress can be possible. However, once indulged in tradition, the society will remain stagnant. Moreover, innovation can inject vigor into a company's growth. Once equipped with a sense of innovation, a company will be prosperous. On the contrary, it will fall behind if keeping on the rails. Last but not least, innovation is essential to the development of individuals. Those who often come up with new ideas usually turn out to be easy to achieve success, while a man who always sticks to experience can hardly create new things.

Innovation has been a hot word for a long time. We cannot emphasize the importance of innovation too much. Therefore, we have to learn as much knowledge as possible to prepare ourselves for being innovative.

文章开头：The Challenges for Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture

36-40 DLENF 41-45 QHCKM

36. Farmers will not profit from replanting once they have applied most of the fertilizer and other chemicals to their fields.

37. Agriculture differs from the medical science of the human body in that its environment is not a contained one.

38. The agronomist is sure that he will obtain a near accurate count of plant with his software.

39.The application of artificial intelligence to agriculture is much more challenging than to most other industries.

40. Even the farmers know the data provided by the UAV is not correct.

41. The pressure for quick results leads to product failure, which, in turn, arouses doubts about the applicability of AI technology to agriculture.

42. Remote sensors are aimed to help farmers improve decision-making to increase yields.

43. The farmer expects the software to tell him whether he will have to replant any parts of his farm fields.

44. Agriculture proves very difficult to quantify because of the constantly changing conditions involved.

45. The same seed and fertilizer program may yield completely different outcomes in different places.

36.定位句【D】At this growth stage of the plant's development, the farmer has another 10 days to conduct any replanting before the majority of his fertilizer and chemical applications need to occur.

37. 定位句【L】By comparison, our bodies are a contained environment. Agriculture takes place in nature, among ecosystems of interacting organisms and activity, and crop production takes place within that ecosystem environment. But these ecosystems are not contained.

38.定位句【E】the agronomist feels confident that the software will produce a near accurate result.

39.定位句【N】the problem is that in most cases, no two environments will be exactly alike, which makes the testing, validation and successful rollout of such technologies much more laborious than in most other industries.

40.定位句【F】he knows the instant he sees the data on his screen that the plant count is not correct,

41.定位句【Q】This usually results in a failure of a product, which leads to skepticism from the market and delivers a blow to the integrity of Machine Learning technology.

42.定位句【H】And the aim is that farmers can use this artificial intelligence to achieve their goal of a better harvest through making better decisions in the field.

43.定位句【C】 It's been 10 days since the com emerged and the farmer wants to determine if there are any parts of the field that require replanting due to a lack of emergence or wind damage, which can be severe in the early stages of the summer rainy season.

44.定位句【K】Even within a single field, conditions are always changing from one section to the next. There's unpredictable weather, changes in soil quality, and the ever-present possibility that pests and diseases may pay a visit. Growers may feel their prospects are good for an upcoming harvest, but until that day arrives, the outcome will always be uncertain.

45.定位句【M】What may occur with the same seed and fertilizer program in the United States' Midwest region is almost certainly unrelated to what may occur with the same seed and fertilizer program in Australia or South Africa.

北京大兴国际机场

北京大兴国际机场位于天安门广场以南46公里处，于2019年9月30日投入使 用。该巨型工程于2014年开工建设，高峰时工地上有4万多工人。航站楼设 计紧凑，可以允许最大数量的飞机直接停靠在最靠近航站楼中心的位置，这 给乘客提供了极大的方便。航站楼共有82个登机口，但乘客通过安检后，只 需不到8分钟就能抵达任何一个登机口。机场的设计可确保每小时300架次起 降。机场年客运量2040年将达到1亿人次，有望成为世界上最繁忙的机场。

Located 46 kilometers south of Tiananmen Square，Beijing Daxing International Airport was put into operation on Sept 30, 2019. Construction on the giant project began in 2014, with more than 40,000 workers on the site at its peak. The compact design of the terminal allows the maximum number of aircraft to stop at the location closest to the center of the terminal, providing great convenience for passengers. It takes passengers less than 8 minutes to get to any of the terminal's 82 gates after passing through security inspection. The airport is designed to handle 300 takeoffs and landings per hour and is expected to handle 100 million passengers a year by 2040, making it the world's busiest airport.

港珠澳大桥

港珠澳大桥( Hong Kong- Zhuhai-Macau Bridge）全长55公里，是我国一项不同寻常的工程壮举。大桥将三个城市连接起来，是世界上最长的跨海桥梁和隧道系统。大桥将三个城市之间的旅行时间从3小时缩短到30分钟。这座跨度巨大的钢筋混凝土大桥充分证明中国有能力建造创纪录的巨型建筑。它将助推区域一体化，促进经济增长。大桥是中国发展自己的大湾区总体规划的关键。中国希望将大湾区建成在技术创新和经济繁荣上能与旧金山、纽约和东京的湾区相媲美的地区。

The 55-kilometer Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is an extraordinary engineering feat for our country. Connecting the three cities, the bridge is the longest sea-crossing bridge and tunnel system in the world. It shortens travel time between the three cities from 3 hours to 30 minutes. The reinforced concrete bridge with huge spans is compelling evidence of China’s ability to complete the record-breaking huge construction. It will boost regional integration and economic growth. It is crucial to the master plan of developing China’s own Great Bay Area, which China intends to turn into one paralleling those of San Francisco, New York and Tokyo in terms of technological innovation and economic prosperity.

青藏铁路

青藏铁路是世界上最高最长的高原铁路，全长1,956公里，其中有960公里在海拔4,000多米之上，是连接西藏和中国其他地区的第一条铁路。由于铁路穿越世界上最脆弱的生态系统，在建设期间和建成后都采取了生态保护措施，以确保其成为一条“绿色铁路”。青藏铁路大大缩短了去往西藏的旅行时间。更重要的是，它极大地促进了西藏的经济发展，改善了当地居民的生活。铁路开通后，愈来愈多的人选择乘火车前往西藏，这样还有机会欣赏沿线的美景。

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the world's highest and longest plateau railway, with a total length of 1,956 kilometers, 960 kilometers of which are more than 4,000 meters above sea level. It is the first railway connecting Tibet with the rest of China. As the railway traverses some of the world's most fragile ecosystems, ecological protection measures have been taken during and after construction to ensure that it becomes a "green railway". The Qinghai-Tibet railway has greatly shortened the travel time to Tibet. What's more, it has greatly promoted the economic development of Tibet and improved the lives of local residents. After the opening of the railway, more and more people chose to travel to Tibet by train, which enables them to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the route.
