Jake Hertz and Isaac Roberts are two students who have launched a new business to meet this exact need: Campus Tech Repair.Hertz and Roberts started their business half a year ago and theyve had amazing success. The first day they had posters up, they received nearly a cloven calls from students. Despite not having backgrounds in business, the two gladly accepted the challenges of starting up such an in-demand service.Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus. The IT Center itself only provided software fixes: Hertz guessed that this was because of the increased responsibilities faced by repair services. Hertz and Roberts did make customers sign a release（解除）of responsibility, yet they also wanted to build a higher level of trust.This, Hertz noted, was the only real challenge that they expected to face. Being directly sponsored by the school could solve the problem of munity trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end.The main selling point of their service is its convenience, as well as the relatively low price. Many students have neither the time nor the means to visit a phone repair service in a store, in addition to the problem of cost. For them, Campus Tech Repair is the desired alternative.Hertz is optimistic about the future of the business. The two partners dream of expanding the range of their operation to include more students and be able to meet all hardware needs. Theyve even received requests to repair Playstations（种游戏机）, in addition to their specialties of puter and smartphone repair. They believe that with the support of the University, they could bee a necessary part of campus services.24. Why is Campus Tech Repair popular on campus?A. It was set up by Hertz and Roberts.B.

Hertz and Roberts had conversation with the University in order to .A. solve the problem of munity trustB. sign a release of responsibility with customersC. get rid of their increased responsibilitiesD. improve their backgrounds in business26. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The problems the students have to solve.B. The challenges a repair service store faces.C. The weak points a phone or a laptop owns.D. The advantages Campus Tech Repair has.27. It can be learnt from the last paragraph that Hertz and Roberts .A. expect to enlarge their businessB. wish to do the campus services on their ownC. lack confidence in the future of their businessD. have much trouble repairing PlayStationsCEach year, the National Council of Teachers of English（NCTE）presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels.

They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency personnel have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, emergency responders soon may be able to use a callers smartphone to locate his exact position in a building.Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne created Sensory using a two-step process. First, they used all existing smartphone features that help narrow down a callers location. All iPhones produced after 2014 already include GPS and altimeter（测高仪） that can help emergency responders determine if a person is outdoors or inside a building. But when it es to tall buildings, just knowing a persons altitude may not be enough，because the i distance between floors changes from one building to another.So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of figuring out the average distance between floors in residential（住宅的）buildings and office buildings among more than 1000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in 63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a callers location within two floors with about a 91 percent accuracy.In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers（调度员）said that they regularly received calls from people in need who often couldnt share their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often couldnt hear the operators questions.The new Sensory app could help shave precious minutes off the time it takes first responders to get to those calling for help. And it could make the difference between life and death. 32. The new app Sensory can be used to .A. provide emergency measures B. speed the connection to 911C. locate emergency callers accurately D. improve the function of smartphones33. What can the Sensorys first step help emergency responders do?A. Make use of a smartphones sensors. B. Detect whether a caller is indoors.C. bine GPS and signal strength. D. Help callers speak clearly and accurately.34. What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.B. The basic information about emergencies.C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.D. The different kinds of emergency callers.35. What is the authors attitude to the new app?A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
