The data collected by the TerraSentia is changing breeding from a reactionary process into a more【C7】________one. Using the robot\’s advanced machine-learning skills, scientists can check the influence of hundreds, even thousands, of factors on a plant\’s future traits, much like doctors utilize genetic tests to understand the【C8】________of a patient developing breast cancer.

1.【C1】(C)
A. in contrast
B. by chance
C. for instance
D. as usual
解析：本题考查句内语义+固定短语。首句提到，自动化一直是农业的重要组成部分。空格句指出，农业设备现在通常配备传感器，利用机器学习和机器人技术来识别杂草，计算所需喷洒的除草剂量，或学习去发现草莓并将之采摘。其中，“识别”“计算”“学习去发现、采摘”均为机器学习、机器人技术等自动化技术的常见功能，可见空格句列举自动化在农业中的应用实例，空格词应表示举例，C项正确。
2.【C2】(B)
A. introduced
B. emerged
C. remained
D. started
解析：本题考查上下文语义。首段说明自动化技术在农业中的传统应用(Automation has always been…agriculture)，第二段第一句“最近，更小、更精巧的机器人……(Lately，smaller，mole delicate robots…)”提示说明农业自动化技术的最新发展，②句“TerraSentia是当今最小型的……农业机器人之一(the TerraSentia is among…farmbots…today)”说明当今农业机器人数量众多，进一步明确发展成果为“新型农业机器人的大量出现”，B项符合文意。A项虽也含有“新事物出现”之意，但应采用被动语态，即“被引入”。
3.【C3】(B)
A. identifiable
B. available
C. feasible
D. disputable
解析：本题考查上下文语义+形容词辨析。空格句承接前一句，聚焦涌现的精巧型机器人之一TerraSentia，下文具体介绍其外观(At 12.5 inches wide…the 30-pound)、功能(It also…gathering data)、对农业的影响(The data collected by the TerraSentia is changing breeding)等，可见TerraSentia已被用于农业生产，空格词应表“可用的”等含义，B项正确。feasible通常表示“(计划／建议／想法等)行得通(a feasible plan／suggestion／idea)”，而不表示“(具体的事物)可用，可得到”，故排除C项。
4.【C4】(C)
A. shapes
B. displays
C. fits
D. hides
解析：本题考查句内语义。空格前信息“宽度为12.5英寸，高度与宽度相近，重量为30磅(12.5 inches wide…30-pound)”描述TerraSentia的体型大小，呼应前两句所述TerraS
