As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly(不断)throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can change this, according to the scientists.

Nowadays, as the society develops, the need of fuel is getting larger and larger. How can we get more and cheaper fuel? One company in New Jersey is developing a special way to get low-cost bio-fuels(生物燃料)from sugar, an importang part for getting ethanol (乙醇).
In order to make bio-fuels cheaper, the company called Proterro, is trying to cut the cost of making sugar. The company is getting photosynthetic microorganisms (光合微生物) to produce large amounts of sugar, and it is designing a special way to grow the microorganisms using small amounts of water.
photosynthetic microorganisms, such as algae(藻类), are usually thought that it can produce oils. Proterro paid so much attention to making sugar because bio-fuel ethanol is mainly from it, and it’s also the starting point for new ways of making other types of bio-fuels.
Today, almost all of the sugar for bio-fuels is made from corn or sugarcane(甘蔗),and several companies are trying more ways to make sugar from other plants such as grass and trees. “But we’ve just got the beginning to make bio-fuels; sugar is still expensive,”says Kef kasdin, Proterro’s CEO. Only sugar from sugarcane is cheap enough, and that can only be grown inexpensively in some places, such as Brazil.

A. The usual fuels are getting more and more.
B. Bio-fuels are more important than the usual fuels.
C. The usual fuels are getting cheaper.
D. Bio-fuels are cheaper than the usual fuels.
52. How are people trying to make bio-fuels cheaper?
A. By making more bio-fuels.
B. By cutting the cost of making sugar.
C. By getting more photosynthetic microorganisms.
D. By using small amouts of water.
53. Which of the followings might NOT be used to make bio-fuels
A. Wheat B.Sugarcane C. Corn D.Glass
54. How many types of bio-fuels have been made according to the passage?
A. One B.Two C. Three D.Four
55. What do Kef kasdin’s words mean? .
A.Making bio-fuels has become quite easy.
B. Bio-fuels may be a little more expensive.
C. The company hasn’t cut the cost low enough yet.
D. The company can only get sugar from sugarcane now.

查看习题详情和答案>>Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications(沟通误解)were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific(太平洋), Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on(依据)where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
