24、Have you ever heard of “a ball of energy”? People often use it to describe a very active child. But today we tell about an invention called the sOccket that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the sOccket is a portable generator (便携式发电机)．

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the sOccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University, the USA.

There are mechanisms (装置) in a sOccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment. Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger (充电器) so that they can get energy from it. For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the sOccket can provide enough electricity for an LED lamp for three hours. The ball can store up to 24 hours’ electricity.

It was reported that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use last year. And most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia and Jessica both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in many areas. There is an energy crisis (危机) in the world. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene (煤油) lamps. They produce a lot of smoke.

Julia says the sOccket ball is one small solution to a big problem. They hope their sOccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.

【1】What does “a ball of energy” refer to in this passage?

A．A very active child.

B．A normal soccer ball.

C．A soccer ball generator.

【2】How can the sOccket get energy?

A．By getting recharged.

B．By being kicked, hit or thrown.

C．By getting energy from the environment.

【3】From the passage we can infer people in _______ are less short of energy or electricity.

A．Asian countries like India

B．sub-Saharan Africa

C．developed countries

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT right?

A．The world has a serious problem of power shortage at present.

B．Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews are famous American inventors.

C．Both Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews have been to developing countries.

【5】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?

A．The sOccket not only can produce electricity but also is good for health.

B．The sOccket has fully helped people to solve the problem of power shortages.

C．The sOccket makes it possible for people to get energy by doing different sports.

25、In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for people. Sandstorms usually happen in spring. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. People in southern China don’t have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from the north of China. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don’t get much rain. When there aren’t many trees, the ground can’t keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns into sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes loose. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Besides, in northeast China, there is some vast desert.

Sandstorms are bad for people’s health. If people breathe in too much sand, they will cough or have serious illnesses. Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never come back home. The winds also tear the farmers’  houses down.
