26、The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive advantages. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated（装饰）with houseplants.

The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）have taken it a step further changing the actual composition（组成）of plants in order to get them to perform different（功能）. These include plants that have sensors（传感器）printed onto their leaves to show when they are lack（缺乏的）of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemical in groundwater, “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day.” explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.

One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow（发光）in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint（微弱的）light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.

In the future, the team hopes to develop a version（版本）of the technology that can be sprayed（喷洒）onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade（变暗）when exposed to daylight.

Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源）—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）.

Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．A new study of different plants.

B．A big fall in crime rates.

C．Employees from various workplaces.

D．Benefits from green plants.

【2】What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?

A．To change compositions of plants.

B．To detect plants’ lack of water.

C．To make the life of plants longer.

D．To test chemicals in plants.

【3】What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?

A．They will speed up energy production.

B．They may transmit electricity to the home.

C．They might help reduce the use of energy.

D．They could take the place of power plants.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Could glowing plants replace lamps?

B．How do we live with glowing plants?

C．Can we grow more glowing plants?

D．How are glowing plants made pollution-fee?

27、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in AfricA． It is also the second largest lake in the world． It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River．Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries．Lake Victoria is a big part of African life．

Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem．It is shrinking．There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda． These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level．For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters．Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters．There seem to be several reasons for this drop．

One possible reason is drought(干旱)．Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000．Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake．

However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria． Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000．Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria． As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level．

Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same．This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life．People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake．Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food． Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water．Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer．Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die．

【1】Lake Victoria is __________．

A． an important lake in Africa.

B． the largest lake in the world．

C． the source of water, food and power for America．

D． the only source for the Nile River．

【2】What does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean?

A． It is becoming larger．

B． It is becoming more beautiful．

C． It is becoming smaller．

D． It is becoming more useful．

【3】The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________．

A． 2.5 meters

B． 11.9 meters

C． 14.4 meters

D． 9.4 meters

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A． Rain water is the only source for the lake．

B． There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000．

C． The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake．

D The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000．

【5】According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?

A． People must build more power plants．

B． More sources of water must be found．

China has made great p【6】in cloning technology, too. In January this year, Chinese s【7】cloned five monkeys from a gene-edited (基因编辑的) macaque (猕猴) for biomedical (生物医学的) research- the first time in the world that this had been done.

Still, China needs to work even h【8】in some key fields such as microchip (微芯片) development and engine manufacturing (发动机制造). Firstly, China will attract more talented researchers.
