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 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 ides is quite simple. As plants create 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 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 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 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.

答案
1.C桑迪,你迟到了。图书馆半小时前刚关门。它每天从上午8点到下午5点营业。closed关着的,形容词;关闭,动词close的过去式或过去分词;open开放的,形容词;打开,动词。结合you are late,可知是说图书馆“关”了,第一空句中缺少谓语动词,结合half an hour ago可知用动词close的过去式形式closed;第二空结合from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.为时间段,表示状态,不能用瞬间动词,因此不能用动词open,要用动词短语is open表示状态。故选C。
2.CJack过去常常在公园里做运动,但是现在他习惯于在体育馆里做运动。used to do sth.过去常常做某事;be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事,是固定搭配。故选C。
3.A

5.D“——你曾经去过游乐园吗?——是的,我去过。去年我去了欢乐时光游乐园”。has/have been to表示“曾经去过”,说明有某种经历;has/have gone to表示“已去某地(在途中或已经到达目的地)”。由答句中的“last year”,可知问的是过去已经发生的事情,故选D。
6.C我去年加入了学校篮球队。我在这个队里已经半年了。第一句的时间状语是last year,用一般过去时,排除AB;根据第二句中for+一段时间可知用现在完成时,其结构是have/has+done,故排除D。故选C。
7.C—比尔现在在做什么?——他正在踢足球。他每周六踢足球。根据What is Bill doing right now 可知,第一空用现在进行时表示正在进行的动作;根据every Saturday.可知,第二空用一般现在时表示经常性动作,谓语用第三人称单数。
8.C
9.C五月经常下雨,现在又下雨了。rain下雨,动词,现在分词是raining。rainy多雨的,形容词。第一空由often可知,用一般现在时,由主语It可知,谓语动词用第三人称单数rains;第二空由is可知,是现在进行时,所以用现在分词raining。10.B
