25、   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, believe the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially 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 need.

D.The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.

【4】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.

26、People have been making cheese for a long time. There are more than 1000 kinds of cheese. Each has a different flavor(风味). Parmesan tastes fruity or nutty. Cheddar is buttery. Brie and Camembert are a bit musty. But what gives each cheese its particular flavor? That’s been a mystery. Now, scientists have figured it out.

Morio Ishikawa is a food scientist. He works at Tokyo University of Agriculture. It is in Japan. What he and his team have just learned could help cheese makers. They could change cheese flavor to better match customers’ preferences. They might even develop new cheese flavors. The researchers shared their new findings.

The flavor of a cheese depends on many things. First, the type of milk decided the starter bacteria(细菌). It helps create the fermented dairy delight. Then, whole communities of microbes(微生物) move in as the cheese grows. These, too, play a role in developing flavor.

The researchers have studied many types of cheeses. They’ve compared cheeses made from pasteurized (巴氏消毒的) and raw cow milk. Some were made in Japan, others in France. The scientists used genetic analysis. They also used tools such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. These helped them identify(识别) bacteria and flavor compound (混合物)in the cheese. The new study directly linked individual bacteria to specific-flavored cheese. The team seeded each type of bacteria onto its own unripe sample of cheese. Over the next three weeks, the researchers observed how flavor compounds changed. The microbes produced esters, ketones and sulfur compounds. These are known to give fruity, moldy and oniony flavors to cheese. One kind of bacteria was Pseudoalteromonas, originally from the sea, this microbe has turned up in many types of cheese.

What’s next? Perhaps cheese makers will learn from the findings.

【1】How many main factors(因素) that influence the flavor of cheese?

A．One

B．Two

C．Three

D．Four

【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 4?

A．生的

B．熟的

C．灭菌的

D．纯粹的

【3】Which sentence is correct about the microbes and cheese?

A．Microbes are the only thing that can influence the flavor of cheese.

B．Ketones produced by microbes give cheese an oniony flavor.

C．Parmesan cheese tastes fruity because there are esters in it.

D．There’s no difference between cheese made from pasteurized and raw cow milk.

【4】We can infer from the article except ________.

A．The research on the cheese flavor is meaningful.

B．Scientific methods are very important while doing researches.

C．It’s hoped that we can taste cheese with new flavors in the future.

D．It’s unnecessary for the cheese makers to match customers’ preference.

27、   At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or stuck behind a very slow driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it---“road rage”.What do we know about road rage?

There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (侵略的；侵犯的) driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:

○Driving much faster than the speed limit (限制).

○Increasing your speed very quickly.

○Changing lanes very suddenly and stopping another car.

There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:

○Making rude signs at people.

○Shouting at people and hitting someone.

○Driving into another person’s car on purpose(故意)

Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been accidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries(伤势) and even death.

Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving which seems to be positive(积极的).

Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let’s hope they can have the same success with the road rage.

【1】According to the passage, “road rage” is ________ .

A.a kind of heavy traffic jam B.a person who drives fast

C.a form of getting angry D.an action of driving slowly

【2】Which of the following are the actions of road rage?

① Mr. James changed his lane suddenly while there was a car following.

② Mrs. Smith shouted at another driver who was trying to overpass her car.

③ Mr. Miller drove so carelessly that his car hit an old man who was walking.

④ Mr. Green drove at 110 kph while the speed limit is 70 kph.

A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④

【3】Road rage is so common possibly because ________ .

A.the punishments are not serious enough B.the drivers are badly drunk on the road

C.the films show great examples to the drivers D.it won’t cause serious injuries or death

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Aggressive driving is much worse than aggressive reactions.

B.Road rage can be controlled without any punishments for the drivers.

C.The accidents caused by using mobile phones have been reduced successfully.

D.The police will be able to do a lot to deal with road rage in the future.

28、   Takeout food is very popular in the world. More than 60 percent of the people in China order takeout food at least twice a week, a【1】 to recent survey by China Youth Daily.

The survey was given to 2,005 people in different cities across the country. Among them, 55.6 percent said it’s hard to stop 【2】 takeout food. But 63.8 percent said they hope that the managers improve the quality of the food, e【3】 the ingredients (食材) used to make the food.

The survey participants (参与者) gave many r【4】 for ordering takeout.

Some said they are too busy to cook. Others said takeout is much cheaper. And some people simply don’t know h【5】 to cook.

29、It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. Choosing a right one itself is a ________ job. Finding a job is not the same as choosing a job. Here are a few steps to help you ________ jobs which you might enjoy doing after you leave school. First, it is important to ________ what kind of person you are and what you are interested in.
