Ⅱ. 阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，回答文后问题。
Spring is here, and it is time to enjoy West Lake Longjing tea. Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by metal workers—tea-picking robots!
In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University set to work for the first time. “We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds（芽）and fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize（识别）the buds it needs to pick, ” said Professor Chen Jianneng. This lets the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time.
The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks（吸）up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. After the robot gathers all the buds from the area it’s working in, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects. The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400, 000 more pickers are needed now. “Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry, ” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.
“Tea-picking robots are a trend（趋势）of the future, ” said Wu. “In a positive case, about five years from now, robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people, ” Wu added.
1. What is the traditional method of picking West Lake Longjing tea?
2. How does the tea-picking robot recognize the tea buds it needs to pick?
3. What is the success rate（成功率）of the robot in finding the right tea buds?
4. Why was the tea-picking robot developed?
5. What’s your prediction about the future of tea-picking robots?
