31、l move around slowly. The floors will move at different speeds. Because of this, the shape of the building is always changing. “These buildings will never look the same，”says Fisher. His idea is an interesting one. However, Fisher doesn't stop there. He also wants the building to be “green”. The

32、building will make its own energy. In most buildings, only the top floor has a roof(屋頂). In Fisher's building, each floor will have its own roof. The roofs each have solar panels(太陽能板). This means a lot more solar energy. Also, machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind. They wi

37、he 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, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.” The “Sol- 4”

38、 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……對準(zhǔn)) 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 onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as

39、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 money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing i

40、llnesses 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 Africans.To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-gov

41、ermental 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 pollution C. solar power experts D. breathing illnesses (　　)2. The “Sol-

42、 4” is mainly used to________． A. shorten the time of cooking B. reduce the cost of making cookers C. raise money through donations to help African people D. reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke (　　)3. The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “________”． A. cookers　

43、　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 environment-friendly than other cookers. (　　

44、)5. From the passage, we can infer that ________． A. the “Sol- 4” will be designed in a smaller size B. more Africans can use the solar cookers in the future C. the “Sol- 4” is the first product of the South African company D. the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers P

45、assage 7(2018廣州) Getting 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

46、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 c

47、an 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 plants create their food(u

48、sing 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 produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and k

49、eep 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 October 2015. So far, they have

50、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.
