NatureSweet, which grows tomatoes on six farms in the United States and Mexico, is using artificial intelligence to better control pests and diseases in its greenhouses. The technology, developed by the Israeli digital farming company Prospera, has already improved harvests and reduced labor costs. NatureSweet began testing the technology almost a year ago at one of its farms in Arizona. It plans to roll the tech out to all of its locations soon. Farms are increasingly using technology to grow crops, from task-tracking systems that monitor watering and seeding to drones that capture aerial images. So far, NatureSweet's weekly harvests have grown 2% to 4%. This may seem modest, but the results make a big difference when growing millions of pounds of tomatoes a year. To use the method, NatureSweet installed 10 cameras in greenhouse ceilings. The cameras continuously take photos of the crops below. Prospera's software has been trained to recognize trouble, such as insect infestations or dying plants. The cameras from Prospera monitor the plants 24/7 and provide instant feedback. Prospera's founder Daniel Koppel previously researched how to predict crop yields from satellite photos -- insights that can be used to trade commodities on Wall Street. Prospera plans to track more crops, including peppers and potatoes, as well as monitor plants outside greenhouses. NatureSweet has experimented with using the cameras to forecast when plants are ready to be harvested. Although the technology is still a work in progress, improved efficiency is apparent. The company announced this week it raised $15 million from investors such as Qualcomm Ventures and Cisco Investments to fund expansion.

Some of the largest banks in the United States are increasingly using fingerprints, facial scans and other types of biometrics to safeguard accounts. For example, millions of customers at Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo routinely use fingerprints to log into their bank accounts through their mobile phones. This feature is enabling a huge share of American banking customers to verify their identities with biometrics. And millions more are expected to get involved in as more mobile phones include fingerprint scans. Other uses of biometrics are also coming online. Wells Fargo lets some customers scan their eyes with their mobile phones to log into corporate accounts and wire millions of dollars. Citigroup can help verify 800,000 of its credit card customers by their voices. USAA, which provides insurance and banking services to members of the military and their families, identifies some of its customers through their facial contours. Biometrics have been tested by big banks for decades, but have only recently become accurate and cost effective to use in a big way. It has taken a great deal of trial and error. Before mobile phones became ubiquitous, there was an even bigger obstacle: To capture a finger image or scan an eyeball, a bank would have to pay to distribute the necessary technology to tens of millions of customers. A few banks tried, but their efforts were costly and short-lived.

41. What is the main purpose of the passage? (A) To introduce a new measure to protect bank accounts. (B) To explain the connection between faces and banking. (C) To describe the features of different banks. (D) To record the banking history.

42. According to the examples mentioned in the passage, "biometrics" most likely means (A) the measurement of physical characteristics (B) the different types of bank accounts (C) the varied names of cellphones (D) the service of the banks

43. According to the passage, which of the following facilitate banking password development? (A) JPMorgan Chase. (B) Mobile phones. (C) Customers. (D) Banks.

44. What does the word "ubiquitous" in line 3 of the last paragraph most likely mean? (A) Not easy to be seen. (B) Not easy to be pleased. (C) Seeming to be very common. (D) Seeming to be very expensive.
