3.When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm,they are using electricity that comes from cows-cow manure (粪肥),to be specific.Cows produce a lot of wastes.One cow can create 30gallons of wastes each day.Now imagine the output of over 1,000cows at Blue Farm.That's really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns,they put the wastes in a big heap,and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料).But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes.They use them to produce electricity.
Here's how it works:A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor."The cows aren't bothered,"says Marie Audet."They are animals of habit; they get used to it,and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by."
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool.The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow:Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a"greenhouse"gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does,causing our planet to warm up.That's an environmental concern.But the digester has a good result.Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).
At Blue Farm,the generators make enough electricity to power 400homes.The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can't use themselves.
51.We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes toA.
A.make electricity
B.produce fertilizer
C.build their farm
D.feed the cows
52.How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?B.
A.Marie Audet does the work
B.The job is done by machine
C.The cows lift the cow wastes
D.Bacteria get to work on them
53.According to the passage,which of the following is changed into electricity?D,
A.The power of moving water.
B.The heat of burning coal.
C.The power of sunlight.
D.The heat of the methane gas
54.The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best descr ibed asC.
A.reducing B.saving C.recycling D.changing
55.What is the main purpose for writing the passage?A.
A.To introduce a new way of making electricity
B.To explain how a new energy works better
C.To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm
D.To explain the reasons for green house effect.

The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish.This way includes many fishing lines that are connected(连接) to one boat.If these lines are joined together,they can reach one hundred kilometers.They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(钩) to catch fish.Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry.Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for everyone hundred hooks.The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past.It's not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller.
What's worse,they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).
