26、It used to be mostly the military that used small, unpiloted airplane, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But the fast rate of development of computer technology, image sensing devices, satellite navigation and smartphones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones sought by individuals, companies and governments.
Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground with smartphones or tablets, depending on the application of the technology of GPS. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor (光学传感器)” to examine crops. He says the technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.
A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands” of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman, who is a farmer, says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season, which provides a lot of information about his crops.
He says the drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer (肥料) the crops need. He says it also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed. Farmers use information gathered by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it was needed. He says some areas of a field may need less than others. As a result, there is reduced nitrogen from the fertilizer after the harvest, which reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. He notes drones also save time because farmers can examine up to 30, 000 square metres.
【1】What used to be people’s concern of using drones?
A．Their security.
B．Their price.
C．Their size.
D．Their function.
【2】What is special for an “Agridrone”?
A．It can rely on the technology of GPS.
B．It can be controlled by smartphones.
C．It can direct its flight with an optical sensor.
D．It can examine crops and provide information.
【3】According to Mr. Bruggeman, by using drones he enjoys all the benefits EXCEPT _______.
A．saving money
B．saving time
C．helping nature
D．increasing production
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．A businessman built a drone for farmers.
B．Many people have begun to use drones.
C．Farmers are using drones to monitor their crops.
D．The development of technologies leads to new drones.
27、Chocolate––there’s nothing quite like it, is there? Chocolate is simply delicious. What is chocolate? Where does it come from?
The history of chocolate goes back to the discovery of cacao beans (可可豆). About 4000 years ago, the Americans made cacao beans into a drink and they took it as a gift from nature.
In 1519, the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortex visited Mexico in America. He saw people drank cacao mixed with spices (香料). Cortex took some cacao home as a gift to the Spanish King Charles. Since then, people in Spain began to drink cacao. However, the natural taste of cacao was too bitter for most people. To sweeten it, Spanish added sugar and honey to it. As a sweet drink, it became popular in Europe. By the 17th century, rich people in Europe began drinking cacao drink as a fashion.
In 1828, a Dutch chemist, Conrad J. van Houten started using a new process to remove the fat from cacao beans. He made a machine that pressed the fat from the beans. The resulting powder (粉末) mixed better with water than cacao did. People called van Houten’s cacao powder “Dutch chocolate”—it is the beginning of modern chocolate.
After that, chocolate makers started trying new recipes (配方) with Dutch chocolate. First it was mixed with sugar. Then butter was added to the sweetened chocolate to make chocolate bars. In 1849, an English chocolate maker successfully made the first chocolate bar. In the 19th century, the Swiss started making milk chocolate by mixing powdered milk. Milk chocolate has not changed much since this process was invented.
Today, the United States buys most of the chocolate in the world, but the Swiss eat the most chocolate per person. The most chocolate eaten today is sweet milk chocolate, but people also eat white chocolate and dark chocolate. Chocolate has become a worldwide snack and also a popular holiday gift.

29、With intelligence systems and New Age networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient (有效率的). After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. They will use 5G networks and the Internet of Things (LOT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of their people.
But what exactly does a smart city do? Let’s s look at a few examples. In United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, sensors (传感器) in smart rubbish cans can tell cleaning workers how full they are and when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are kept track of and adjusted (调节) according to real-time data collected from sensors around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic jams as they ride.
Smart cities will be interactive (互动的), allowing their people to fed like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of only living in it. It’s very important that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never had in the past. Smart cities will also allow us to save resources. By using sensors and 5G networks to watch over the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to share and save these resources more efficiently.
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our present cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already using smart technology in small ways. It won’t be long before more cities start to develop their own smart systems.
【1】What makes it necessary to create smart cities?
A．The development of present cities.
B．The increasing population in cities.
C．The wide use of 5G networks and IOT.
D．The growing number of present cities.
【2】How do smart rubbish cans help?
A．By adjusting the cans’ position.
B．By keeping track of the air quality.
C．By emptying the rubbish by themselves.
D．By reminding the workers to clean them.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How smart cities work.
B．The future of smart cities.
C．The influence of 5G on smart cities.
D．How smart cities communicate with us.
【4】What is the authors attitude to smart cities?
A．Supportive.
B．Worried.
C．Uninterested.
D．Doubtful.
