B
Criminals who try to pass off fake art as the real deal should be careful now. A new identification method could make recognizing fakes much easier. The technique allows scientists to tag paintings and other artworks with tiny pieces of DNA, which act like a signature. If an artwork missed the tag, people would immediately know it was an illegal copy.
DNA is normally found inside the cells of all living things. However, researchers at the State University of New York at Albany, who developed the tagging technique, have created DNA in a lab, whose code is just as unique as that of DNA found in nature.
The scientists would apply the engineered DNA to a small tag and place it on an artwork. Over time, the DNA in the tag would bond with the art at a molecular(分子的) level. That way, even if the tag is removed, the DNA remains. Possible buyers and sellers can use a scanner to read a DNA tag or, if the tag is missing, swab(擦拭) the artwork to test for DNA inside. Then they check the molecular marker against a database of artists to make sure the work is real.
Some famous artists have already agreed to try this high-tech way to sign their art. That’s because fakes are huge problems in the art world. It’s said that as many as two out of every five artworks sold these days are fakes. Some seem so convincing that experts are needed to prove whether they’re real or not.
Although a painting may be perfectly copied, it would be nearly impossible to copy a DNA tag. Applying the tag doesn’t harm the work itself. Even better, they each cost only about $150—an inexpensive price for a technology that could save museums, art galleries, and private collectors billions.
1、What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．How the DNA tag works. B．How the DNA tag is made.
C．What a database is used for. D．What can be done if the DNA tag is lost.
2、Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the DNA tag?
A．It is affordable. B．It can hardly be copied.
C．It can renew automatically. D．It does no damage to the artworks.
3、What does the underlined word “convincing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Authentic. B．Elegant. C．Attractive. D．Complex.
4、What might be the best title of the text?
A．Copying a DNA Tag B．Spotting a Fake
C．The Discovery of DNA D．A New Application of Natural DNA

Last summer vacation was my most pleasant one. My parents and I had made at our to Xi’an. Instead of having a travel agency arranging our transportation and accommodation, we booked the train tickets and hotel rooms on the Internet by us. During our tour in Xi’an, we went to many places of interests and took lots of photos, learned about the history of Xi’an. No tourists would miss the local food in Xi’an, so would we. We enjoyed the typical local food, it tasted more delicious than we had expected. Hardly had I returned than I shared the photos and experiences for my classmates.
