A decade ago, (3)_____ the infrared scanning technology developed for military purpose and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley (4)_____ a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine (5)_____ ones are under stress.

"This technique can be used (17)_____ 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States", says George Oerther of Texas A&M.

选项
A、otherwise
B、still
C、thus
D、therefore
答案
A
解析
此题属于语篇衔接。otherwise表示"不同地,用别的方法",如:I hate him and I won’t pretend otherwise.(我恨他,而且我也不假装)。根据原文,定点喷洒农药是采用其他方法所耗农药的50~70%,所以选项otherwise正确。其他选项均不符合题意。全句可译为:这样,农民针对病害定点喷洒所耗的农药是采用其他方法所需农药的50~70%。
