Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons—the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours —enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially in small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.
(1)、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A、They are difficult to use and create pollution. B、They are expensive to buy and easily damaged. C、They are difficult to repair and produce little light. D、They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.(2)、The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from ______.A、plant food B、plant waste C、the soil's heat D、the sun's energy(3)、What is TRUE about the Plant lamp?A、It can be made by local people. B、It is much easier to use than oil lamps. C、It can produce all the electricity the village needs. D、The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.(4)、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpful for _____.A、rainforest communities B、cars C、poor people in cities D、farmers(5)、What is the purpose of the passage?A、To report on a new invention. B、To explain a new scientific theory. C、To describe how electricity is made. D、To discuss the problems of poor villages.18. 阅读理解O. Henry is one of the American famous short story writers. His novels expose (揭露) the darkness of capitalism (资本主义) from different points of view, describe the difficult life of lower class, and praise their friendship and love to happy life.
As we all know, O. Henry's endings are always unexpected. He would suddenly change the inner world of the characters in an unbelievable way. For example, The Cop and the Anthem is one of the typical surprising endings of
O. Henrys novels. And O. Henry just used this way to expose the reality of being unable to distinguish the good from the bad.
The artistic effects of O. Henry's endings don't always appear in the end. In The Cop and the Anthem, both an attractive woman and a well-dressed customer give readers a perfect feeling. In fact, they are not the people that we think, but they really exist in our society. Is everyone in upper-class noble, kind and well-behaved? Of course not, someone just puts their dirty behaviour under their beautiful mask. In short, O. Henry's endings expose the public moral (道德) of capitalism going from bad to worse in a humorous way.
(1)、Which is NOT the feature of O. Henry's novels?A、His novels expose the darkness of capitalism. B、His novels describe the difficult life of lower class. C、His novels praise the Americans' real friendship and true love. D、His novels reflect the reality of being unable to distinguish the good from the bad.(2)、What did O. Henry want to do by describing an attractive woman and a well-dressed customer?A、To give readers a perfect feeling. B、To describe the good behaviour of the upper-class. C、To express their dirtiness under the beautiful mask. D、To make the passage more wonderful.(3)、What does the underlined word "distinguish" mean?A、Tell. B、Accept. C、Refuse. D、Respect.(4)、We can find this article in ______.A、a travel guide B、a book comment C、a newspaper D、a book ad(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、O. Henry and his novels B、The Capitalism in America C、O. Henry D、The Cop and the Anthem19. 阅读理解An American woman living in Wisconsin (威斯康星州) offered to teach English to a Japanese woman who had moved into the same community. "Before each lesson, and on each and every visit," the American reported, "the Japanese lady brought me a gift-a book, some paper sculpture, flowers, or candy. It was embarrassing."
Unknowingly, this American was experiencing a part of protocol (礼仪) rooted centuries deep in the Japanese culture.
In America, valuable gifts are surely out. A proper (适宜的) behaviour on a gift is to take the person to dinner, or to an entertainment or a sporting event. On the contrary, gift-giving is a custom in Japan. According to Business Tokyo magazine, among the Japanese "gift-giving is a necessity, not only a small thing as in the West". In Japan the proper gift is thought to express the giver's true friendship, gratitude, and respect far better than words can, So if you plan to visit Japan or to have Japanese visit you here, be prepared.
So you know nowadays gift-giving plays a very important role in society. Now let's see what happens in other countries.
Australia is known for its kindness and honesty. So proper gifts, such as a business diary, a paperweight, or a coffee cup might be presented as a memento (纪念品) of a business meeting. At a trade show, T-shirts, ties, baseball caps, or a pin may be proper mementos. Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment.
(1)、What does the underlined word "It" refer to in the first paragraph?A、The gifts were so small and poor. B、The Japanese woman was not good at learning English. C、She didn't know how to teach the Japanese woman. D、The Japanese woman brought gifts on each and every visit.(2)、Which of the following CANNOT be presented as a memento of a business meeting in Australia?A、A business diary. B、A coffee cup. C、A gold watch. D、A paperweight.(3)、Which country is NOT mentioned in the passage?A、The USA B、Japan C、China D、Australia(4)、What may the passage talk about in the following paragraphs?A、Why Australians are kind and honest. B、What the difference between America and Australia is. C、What happens in other countries. D、How an Australian should behave in America.(5)、What does the passage show?A、People should give some valuable gifts when going to different countries. B、Gift-giving is an important kind of protocol nowadays. C、Bringing gifts often makes a giver embarrassed. D、An expensive gift will make an Australian angry.20. 阅读理解What is the happiest thing for children? Of course, getting gifts from their parents is one of the happiest things for them.
