A World of Arts and Crafts 答案： 5558 CDDC C Could the solution to world future energy needs lie in the ocean Its possible. We are not talking about oil, but another potential untapped energy resource called “methane hydrates
34、”. Methane hydrates are hard, ice-like white solids that form naturally in deposits (沉积物 ) on ocean floors. They arecomposed of water and highly concentrated methane produced by the microorganisms living in the deposits. The remarkable thing is that you can hold a flame to a piece of methane hydrate
35、 and it will catch on fire. Its been called “burning ice.” Methane hydrates are spread around the world. These deposits may in the future become a very important fuel resource. One researcher calculated that a small area off the Southeastern coast of America may contain methane hydrates equal to 30
36、times the annual U.S. consumption of natural gas. Right now there are very significant technical and financial challenges facing us before we could exploit this as a resource. Scientists around the world are studying these challenges. One big issue is how to get these methane hydrates off the ocean
37、floor, causing undersea landslides and tidal waves. Another issue is how to handle the matter after it is brought up. Its also unclear whether it would make more sense to “mine” solid hydrates or tap the gases found with them. And many deposits may occur in low concentrations with no commercial pote
38、ntial. Japan, which has no oil supplies of its own, has thrown itself into burning ice research because it has deposits off its shores which could make Japan less dependent on foreign suppliers of oil. The U.S. Department of Energy and Congress are also supporting research. However, the US administr
39、ations energy policy is focused on traditional fossil (化石 ) fuels. And at least for now, developing burning ice into a fuel source isnt high on the energy industrys list. But if natural gas continues to rise in price, exploiting burning ice might become economically practical. 59. Whats the meaning

42、gy Shortage B. Burning Ice Holds Hope as Fuel Source C. Methane Hydrates D. Methane Hydrates Spread around the World 答案： 5962 CDCB D For John and Amy Cervantes, birthdays have always been a big deal a welcome excuse to celebrate life. When their eldest son, Alex, turned three, in 2005, they invited
43、20 friends to a nearby park and hired a clown to paint faces and make balloon animals. Not long after that, the couple were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to others. “That s when a spark went off,” says Amy. “We wanted to do something that would have a strong effect on our community,
44、that wasnt already being done, and that our young children could participate in. I started wondering what less fortunate kids do on their birthdays. The next day, we called a local shelter.” What they learned is that homeless children typically dont do anything to celebrate. No cake. No gifts. No pa
45、rty. Several weeks later, the family threw a party at the shelter for the children who had birthdays that month. They decorated, served cake, and led 50 kids in the uncertain situation. Alex helped fill and pass out goody bags and presents. Since that first party, the couple have turned their simple
46、 idea into Birthday Blessings, a nonprofit that hosts monthly parties at ten shelters in and around Charlotte, North Carolina. The group also delivers baby supplies to new moms in the shelters. And it considerately sends treats to elementary schools so homeless kids can celebrate their birthdays wit
47、h friends. To date, Birthday Blessings has thrown more than 500 parties and handed out over 22,000 favors to nearly 4,000 homeless children. The idea is spreading fast, with additional chapters set to start in Atlanta, Cincinnati, and northeast Indiana. Birthday Blessings is operated entirely by vol
48、unteers with Amy, a stay-at-home mom, in charge. John attempts his career as an investment adviser while setting up the groups similar network and running its capital campaign. The charity will take almost anything toys, baby items as long as its not used. “These kids never get anything new,” John s
49、ays. “It makes a big difference to them psychologically.” Being part of this“labor of love,” as Amy puts it, is already making an impression on the boys. When Alex turned seven, his grandparents sent a birthday check. “The first thing he said when he opened it,” Amy recalls, “was that he wanted to give half to the birthday kids.” 63. “a spark went off,” in Para 2 is clo
