Wu,an 11-year-old pupil from Hubei province,moved to Botswana with his family seven years ago.During the past years living in the country,he found that the quantity of fruit and vegetables sold at local supermarkets was very limited,and the quality was poor.Some vegetables weren't ripe,such as small carrots and green tomatoes,and they were quite expensive. Tropical savanna（草原）and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country，making it difficult to grow common crops.Drought-tolerant species of corn,sorghum and beans are also uncommon,For a long time,Botswana had to import many grains, fruits and vegetables from neighbouring countries,such as South Africa,to meet the needs of its people. Botswana has made a series of cooperative arrangements with China to get rid of food shortages.In July last year,a pilot project to grow China's water-saving and drought-tolerant rice was successfully undertaken in Gaborone,the capital of Botswana, which brought Wu some new ideas on local agriculture. "At that time,I was preparing for the first Youth Artificial Intelligence and Future Media Global Innovation Challenge,"he said,“When I got the news,I gave up my first plan of developing a personal time management app,and decided to develop an app for agriculture." The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally,including tomatoes,potatoes,onions, corn,carrots,cabbage,eggplant and radishes,Farmers who use the application can click on the pare to see its watering needs,Hpening time,seed price,selling price and production. After planting the seeds,farmers click the timer to start,and the application reminds them what to do at each stage. When asked why he wanted to help local farmers here, Wu quotes an old saying in China: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." 24.Which can be the main reason for Botswana's food shortage? A.Limited supplies in local markets. B.Unfavourable climate conditions. C.Lack of advanced farming techniques. D.Frequent threats from natural disasters. 25.What does the underlined word “undertaken" mean in Paragraph 4? A.Launched. B.Removed. C.Adapted. D.Promoted. 26.How can Wu's application make farmers' work easier? A.It improves local planting environment. B.It identifies the commonly grown crops. C.It teaches farmers when to plant the seeds. D.It provides basic information of the crops. 27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Botswana's Food Problem Solved by a New App B.Technology Is Making a Difference in Botswana C.Gifted Chinese Teenager Helps Botswana Farmers D.Chinese Old Wisdom Promises a Brighter Future C ChatGPT,a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAl,has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities, It can write emails,computer codes,even academic papers and poems,and has passed a number of tests within seconds.Academicians worldwide are discussing whet
