26、 While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer's Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？ Or was she slowing down？
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. This technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven't searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses". Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.
【1】Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?
A.To correct her typing mistakes.
B.To find her secrets in the room.
C.To keep her from dishonest deeds.
D.To prevent her from slowing down.
【2】What does the underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.sharpening tool B.advanced technique
C.effective rule D.dividing line
【3】How can some programs find out possible cheaters?
A.By scanning the Internet test questions.
B.By checking the question answering speed.
C.By producing a large number of questions.
D.By giving difficult test questions.
27、 Who would have thought that there was any connection between a cup of coffee and a bird, butterfly, or even a bat? Such seems to be the case, however, as methods for growing coffee plants have gradually changed over time.
Coffee plants were first discovered growing in Africa hundreds of years ago. The plants grew under a wide cover of forests, which protected the coffee plants’ leaves from the burning sun. As coffee was introduced to other countries, farmers would naturally try to grow the plants in the shade of tall trees. These trees provided more than shade for coffee plants; they were also home for many species of birds, insects, and other plants.
Over the past 30 to 40 years, people developed a new kind of coffee plant, one which grows well in open sunlight. Sun-grown coffee produced two times more coffee than shade-grown coffee in the same amount of time and space. As a result, the growing need for coffee makes the sun-grown method appear to be the best way to grow coffee.
However, this newer method has some unexpected results. First, the lack of tree cover leaves the land open to heavy rainfall, which can wash away the soil’s nutrients (营养物质). This necessitates an increased use of fertilizers and additives, which is likely to create health risks. Second, as forests are taken down to make way for sun-grown coffee plants, native and migratory birds no longer have a home. This is threatening many species, and the effect is now being examined and recorded by ornithologists, who are discovering sharp falls in some species that travel to the northern United States each year. Finally, more pesticides (农药) are used in the sun-grown method, all of which have a bad influence on both the environment and the long-term health of the coffee plants themselves.
Today, as more people recognize the problems of coffee grown in the sun, perhaps they will be willing to pay the higher prices, encouraging coffee growers to return to the more natural method of producing this worldwide product.
【1】Compared with shade-grown coffee, sun-grown coffee _____.
A.grows more slowly
B.tastes much better
C.is more productive
D.is more expensive
【2】What do ornithologists most probably do?
A.Protect forests.
B.Grow coffee.
C.Make pesticides.
D.Study birds.
【3】What does the author want coffee farmers to do?
A.Grow shade-grown coffee. B.Improve coffee production.
C.Sell coffee at lower prices. D.Plant a new kind of coffee.
【4】The text mainly explains the connection between _____.
A.coffee and forests
B.coffee production and the environment
C.coffee farmers and animals
D.coffee and sunlight

29、Be a Green Child
What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? 【1】
Reduce It!
【2】 For instance, a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses to run the heater that warmed up the water.
Reuse It!
Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. It means that we’re a little too willing to throw away old stuff (东西) and buy new stuff.【3】 For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop (篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle It!
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.
Enjoy It!
It’s true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that’s ready for you to explore.【4】 Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.
