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. Becoming directly sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community 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 computer and smartphone repair. They believe that with the support of the University, they could become 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. It meets students，demand for hardware repair.C. It provides free services for students.D. It has skilled experts from the IT center.25. Hertz and Roberts had conversation with the University in order to .A. solve the problem of community 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 PlayStations【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. A【解析】这是一篇应用文，本文主要讲了Jake Hertz和Isaac Roberts在学校里创业开展做校园技术维修，维修学生的电脑，手机等电子设备。因校园里缺乏这样的维修服务，学生也没有时间和方法去专门的维修店。所以他们的业务很受学生欢迎，并取得了很大的成功。【24题详解】细节理解题。由文中第三段的Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus可知Campus Tech Repair受欢迎的原因是因为校园里缺少硬件维修的服务，而它正好满足了学生维修的需求，故B选项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。由文中第四段的 Becoming directly sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end.可知，他们和大学交流的目的是为了解决社区信任的问题。故A选项正确。【26题详解】段落大意题。由文中第五段的第一句The main selling point of their service is its convenience, as well as the relatively low price.可知，他们服务的卖点就是方便，价格低廉，接下来该段展开讲了他们服务的优势所在。故D选项正确。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文中最后一段的The two partners dream of expanding the range of their operation to include more students and be able to meet all hardware needs. 可知，他们打算拓展他们的生意。故A选项正确。CEach year, the National Council of Teachers of English（NCTE）presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels.

Dan Santat and Jason Chin are invited to speak at next years Annual Convention.可知，之前的获奖者将会被邀请在午宴上讲话。故C选项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。由文中第二段的The award honors Dr. Charlotte Huck, a professor at Ohio State University who devoted her career to promoting the role of childrens books in young peoples academic, social, and emotional development可知，夏洛特哈克奖很注重书在孩子成长中起到的作用。故D选项正确。【30题详解】推理判断题。由文中第二段的The Charlotte Huck Award was established in 2020 to promote and recognize fiction that has the potential to have a positive effect on childrens lives.可知，夏洛特哈克奖旨在宣传和认可有可能对儿童生活产生积极影响的小说，也就是说 Dan Santat 能获得今年的奖是因为他的书对儿童有积极的影响。C选项正确。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文中第一段的第一句Each year, the National Council of Teachers of English（NCTE）presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels.可知，全国英语教师委员会（NCTE）每年都会颁发奖项授予具有杰出作品的人。故A选项正确。DThere are a lot of reasons why people calling 911 might not be able to tell operators which floor theyre on in a high-rise building. 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 2020 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 comes 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
