29、They cant change the way they look. However, architect(建筑师)David Fisher wants to change that. Fisher has an amazing idea. He wants to make 80story buildings that change shape. Each floor will move around slowly. The floors will move at different speeds. Because of this, the shape of the building is

30、always changing. “These buildings will never look the same, ”says Fisher.His idea is an interesting one. However, Fisher doesnt stop there. He also wants the building to be “green”. The building will make its own energy. In most buildings, only the top floor has a roof(屋顶 ). In Fishers building, eac

31、h floor will have its own roof. The roofs each have solar panels(太阳能板). This means a lot more solar energy. Also, machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind.

35、e or from cooking over woodpowered or coalpowered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol 4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors

36、, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol 4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and

37、onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend mone

38、y on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining.But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Afri

39、cans.To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a nongovermental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.( )1. This passage is mainly about _A. solar cookers B. smoke pollutionC. solar power ex

40、perts D. breathing illnesses( )2.

41、_”A. cookers B. mirrors C. people D. experts( )4. Which of the following about the “Sol 4” is TRUE?A. It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B. It can work in any weather condition now.C. It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D. It is more environmentfriendly than other cookers.( )5. Fr

42、om the passage, we can infer that _A. the “Sol 4” will be designed in a smaller size7B. more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC. the “Sol 4” is the first product of the South African companyD. the African government will provide poor people with solar cookersPassage 7(2018 广州)Getting

43、electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. 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 e

44、xpensive 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 Ama

45、zonian 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 plants create their food(using the suns energy, water and

46、chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamps batteries for la

47、ter use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50watt 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 October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT p

48、rofessor 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.( )1. What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are

49、 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.( )2. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from_A. plant food B. plant waste C. the soils heat D. the suns energy( )3. What is true about the Pla
