26、If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.
When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.
【1】The Tile app can help you .
A. find your missing items
B. use your phone more wisely
C. save your phone’s battery power
D. connect something to your phone
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.
B. One smart phone can only be linked up to one Tile.
C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.
D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.
【3】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What the Tile app is.
B. How the Tile app works.
C. The advantages of the Tile app.
D. Why the Tile app was invented.
【4】Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A science fiction novel. B. An advertisement.
C. A personal diary. D. A news report.
27、 Fifteen years ago, Crystal Wang’s father took a photo of her in the arms of a Harvard University police officer Charles Marren during a campus visit. It turns out that the photo was prophetic. Wang is now a member of Harvard’s Class of 2023. So, of course, she had to recreate the original image with Officer Charles Marren during move-in.
Sure, Wang, now 18, looks a lot different. But Marren? He hasn’t aged a day.
Wang had just turned 3 years old when her father, Jin, took the original photo while in the area for a business trip. She said she didn’t even know the photo existed until her dad showed her after she was accepted into Harvard’s dual degree program with Berklee College of Music.
Her dad told her she should try and see if Marren still worked there, but not even knowing his name at the time, Wang was not sure. She pushed the idea to the back of her mind.
But destiny had other plans. When she posted the original photo on Instagram announcing her college decision, a reporter working for the Harvard Gazette saw it and recognized Marren. She got in touch and set a date for the two to meet again.
When the two reunited, Wang said the connection was true. Marren even gave her his personal cell phone number and told her to call if she ever needed anything.

29、Plant breeding(育种) is the science of changing the characteristics of plants in order to produce desired ones. Genes in a plant are what determine what type of characteristics it will have. Plant breeders try to create a specific outcome of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species.
People all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat.
There are many reasons for changing plants in this way. International development agencies believe that breeding new crops is important for ensuring food security by developing new varieties that are higher yielding, disease-resistant, drought----tolerant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. For example, some genetically engineered plants can live through frost or draught. As a result, farmers can make more profit because fewer plants will die.
Some genetically engineered plants are more nutritious. They have less fat,taste better or stay fresher than non-genetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy better-quality fruit and vegetables. Some can resist natural pests and viruses spread by insects. This reduces the amount of chemical needed to kill pests, which is helpful to the environment.
However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. They can also harm animals. A type of corn has been developed which kills a species of insect that destroys it. The pollen(花粉) from this corn, however, can also kill monarch butterflies----the most beautiful of all butterflies, which do not harm the corn.
Genetic engineering is a very new science and we have a lot to learn about the good it can do and the damage it can cause. The main concern is that not enough tests are being done to ensure it is safe.
【1】According to the passage, what is the objective of plant breeding?
A.To change the genes of plants.
B.To produce preferable plant varieties.
C.To beautify the environment.
D.To assess the value of the practice.
【2】Why could plant breeding ensure food security?
A.Because food is of better quality.
B.Because drought and frost hardly happen.
C.Because farmers can make more money.
D.Because higher production is guaranteed.
【3】How can some genetically engineered plants benefit the environment?
A.Less harmful chemicals are used.
B.They can adapt to different environments.
C.Some beautiful butterflies are killed.
D.The food they produce taste better or stay fresher.
