28、Yesterday, people on the social media site Twitter reacted with surprise and humor to a report that claimed, “Scientists have taught spinach to send emails.” That’s not exactly true, but the “news” is based on some amazing work done by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) scientists in 2016, and it’s still worth learning about.

Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach plants into natural sensors which can detect chemicals used in bombs. Using a cheap and small computer system, the spinach can even send a warning email.

The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotechnology. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of nanotech materials into spinach plants: some were tiny sensors; others were tiny tubes called carbon nanotubes. To get the tiny materials into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing the nano-materials on the bottom of the plants’ leaves. That’s where the plants normally take in CO2 gas.

Once the tiny sensors and nanotubes were in the spinach leaves, the plants did the rest of the work. As part of their natural process, the spinach plants pull water through their roots and into their leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals that are used in bombs, the sensors in the leaves make the nanotubes give off a slightly different kind of light.

By watching the plants constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are detected in the water.

The researchers say it takes about 10 minutes for the plants to react to the chemicals. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cellphone with its camera changed slightly.

Detecting chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. The scientists believe that in the future, such a system could give farmers detailed information about the health of the land and water on their farms.

【1】Why is the report mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To tell a joke made by MIT scientists.

B．To introduce the health benefits of spinach.

C．To criticize misleading news on social media.

D．To bring up the topic of a scientific experiment.

【2】What is the function carton nanotubes in spinach leaves?

A．To supply energy to spinach.

B．To detect spinach’s lack of water.

C．To measure CO2 absorbed by spinach.

D．To make spinach shine in a special way.

【3】What do the scientists expect of their system?

A．It will take effect immediately.

B．It will be applied to agriculture.

C．It will be expanded to other plants.

D．It will use a playing card-sized cellphone.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Scientists teach spinach to send work emails.

B．Scientists create spinach that can test for bombs.

C．Scientists change the composition of spinach we eat.

D．Scientists use nanotechnology to boost spinach production.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

A long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.

One day, one of the officials found out the couple's worry and told them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm(吉祥饰物)，and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find that charm?” The prince asked him joyfully. “There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.”

The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.”

The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight (骑士) and his wife in a town. They went to visit the knight. “Are you really happy like the rumor?” Then the knight answered. “Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.”

They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. “Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.”

They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world.

One day, the prince couple met a shepherd(牧羊人)and his wife in a big field.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back.
