B.Spending time with your parents.C.Looking at your television screens. D.Tucking your computers away.CGiven that more than 65% of infectious diseases that affect humans originate from other animals,the most logical way to stop them would,be to locate the source.However,studying wildlife for clues about the origin of the next epidemic（流行病）is like looking for a needle in a haystack.As a result,scientists and health officials are forced to combat illnesses like the recent Zika Virus,after they spread.Now,tech giant Microsoft has come up with a creative idea.What if we could use mosquitoes,which are responsible for the spread of the majority of viruses,as early warning systems? This would give researchers the opportunity to discover the problem in the bud（萌芽）and prevent viral outbreaks.Project Premonition will begin by deploying autonomous drones to rural areas to identify mosquito hotspots. Once the areas have been accurately mapped,traps will be set to collect insect specimens However,given that there are over 3,600 species of mosquitoes,each carrying different types of viruses depending on the animals they target, capturing them randomly would be of little use.To identify the specific species that the scientists are seeking,Project Premonition has created a mosquito trap with 64 tiny cells that monitor the insects as they fly inside.If the mosquitos wing movements match those of a species theyre interested in studying,the cell door closes.To detect pathogens（病原体）,the trapped insects will then be brought to the lab for a detailed DNA analysis of the blood they have extracted from victims.Microsoft will utilize its massive computing power to sort through the data rapidly early.The result will allow health care workers to stop viruses before they spread.Though the technology is still in its early stages,the initial results of tests are encouraging.The 87 experiments conducted using the robotic traps captured over 20GB data about mosquito behavior,including information about ones carrying the Zika virus.29.Which of the following is to blame for the spread of most viruses?30.Which of the following is the correct order of Project Premonition?a.collecting specific mosquito specimens with trapsb.determining pathogensc.bringing the trapped mosquito to the lab for a DNA analysis of the extracted bloodd.identifying mosquito hotspots by deploying autonomous dronese.using the result to stop viruses from spreadingA.cdebaB.debcaC.dacbeD.dcabe31.What word can be used to describe the mosquito trap?A.Smart.
