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 plantscreate 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 produced eletrons--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 Octoter 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 small rainforest communities,42% of whom have no electricity.( )41.What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph1?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.( )42.The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from_____.A.plant foodB. plant wasteB.the soil heat D.the sun’s energy ( )43.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.( )44.The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for________.A.Rainforest communitiesB. carsB.poor people in cities D. farmers( )45.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 problem of poor villageCWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep:the phones, the cars, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone, which makes me unusual. Anyway, the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point1The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not appear, would she have anything to talk about? Point2The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside,she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车)to save her. Point3The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all around the world at any time of day to ask where they are,where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point4The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says,”We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near --but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks.”Point5The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangersat the same time on chat lines(at least my daughter does.I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk acrossthe world. We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any) while they are space--walking.And ,with the phone line connected to the computer,we can access(存取)the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.( )46.How do you understand Point1?A.People don’t communicate without television.B.People communicate because of the creating of thetelephone.C.People communicate more since telephone has beencreated.D.People create more because of more traffic. ( )47.Which of the following best shows people’s opinion towards mobile phones?A.Mobile phones help people deal with the thingsthat happens suddenly.B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well littlesecret to people.C.Mobile phones are so important and should beencouraged.D.Mobile phones are part of people’s life.( )48.Which points do you think improve people’s life?a.Point1.b.Point2.c.Point3.d.Point4.e.Point5A.c,dB. a,eC.a,cD. b,e ( )49.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through_______.A.the TV screenB. a fax machineC.the phone line connected to the computerD.a microphone( )50.The best title for the passage is________.A. PhoneB. Kinds of PhoneC.How to Use PhoneD. Advantage of PhonesDA psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to audience. As she raised a glass of water,everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full”question. Instead ,with a smile on her face, she asked,”how heavy is this glass of water?”Answers come out from 8oz(盎司)to 20(盎司).She replied, “The real weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute,it’s not a problem.If I hold it for an hour,I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day,my arm will feel numb(麻木)。
