There was a butcher selling chickens in the market. Once, he had a particularly good 11 and his chickens sold well. He happily scaled (脱毛) his last chicken and 12 it. “That will be $6.35,” he told the 13 . “That is a good price, but it really is a little too small,” said the woman. “Don’t you have anything 14 ?”
15 fast, the butcher returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused for a moment, and then 16 took it out. “This one,” he said in a low voice, “will be $6.65.” The woman paused for a moment, and then made her 17 , “You know that,” she said, “I will take 18 of them!”

We can sometimes get the impression that most of the world is more or less out for themselves and that people care little about the trouble of others. But I choose to believe 21 . I believe that a lot of people are basically concerned about others, even if they don’t always know how to 22 it. That is perhaps why a certain 23 years ago has remained one of my favorites to this day.
A trucker tells that he was 24 through North Carolina on I-95 when a brown car got onto the highway. It ran back and forth between lanes, 25 the driver of the truck to drive slowly. At first he 26 the driver was drunk, but when he came closer, the trucker saw an old man 27 behind the wheel (方向盘). So he called on the radio, “You in the brown car, if you can 28 me, pull over. Pull off the road!”
29 , he did! The trucker pulled up behind the car and got off. The elderly man climbed off his car and fell into the trucker’s 30 . After resting a while, the elderly man eventually said he felt 31 enough to drive home. The trucker 32 him for 50 miles. As they drove along, the two 33 together on the radio.
The older man finally realized his 34 was ahead and the trucker asked if he could make 35 home all right. Suddenly, a third 36 broke in on the conversation, “Don’t worry, good fellow. Go your way. I’ll 37 him home!” Glancing in his mirror, he saw another truck move into the exit lane behind the brown car.
I think there are 38 people the world over. They are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to 39 . Look around. You’re sure to see one. Look in the 40 , and you might spot one there, too.

第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
A
Cranberry the turkey, saved from the Christmas dinner table, now thinks she’s a dog. She loves going for walks, living in a kennel (狗窝), and even “barking”.
Jerry and Dawn Watkins took the bird into their family after it was found wandering around a car park, and were puzzled when it took a liking to their pet Labradors (拉布拉多犬)—Teal and Widgeon.
Mr. Watkins, 55, the National Director for Equine Welfare at Horse World in Bristol, says, “We got a call from a member of the public after they found her. She’s a very friendly bird. We were very careful about introducing her to the dogs, but Cranberry seemed unconcerned. The dogs were just interested.”
Strangely, even though Labradors are bred to hunt game birds, the eight-year-old bird is the leader of the pack among her friends. Mr. Watkins says, “She’s the boss. She will steal the dog’s feed, and they would never dream of trying to get it back from her. She’s now got her own dog bowl for her corn and dog biscuits to stop her stealing food from the dogs. Every morning, we let them out and the dogs follow her around.”
“Once animals get to know each other, they understand each other’s body language and behavior, so it doesn’t really surprise me. The only thing she won’t do is fetch. She picks things up but just eats them.”
Cranberry has her own kennel right next door to the dogs’ day kennel, but can be found relaxing in the house.
Mr. Watkins says, “She loves being stroked. If you stroke her, she relaxes instantly.”
Cranberry loves wandering around with the dogs, and has even proved to be a great “guard dog”. Mrs. Watkins, 34, a lecturer at Norton Radstock College, says, “If someone is coming up the garden path, she’s really useful, because she’s got her own alert call.”
41. Cranberry was when people found her.
A. playing with dogs B. relaxing in a kennel
C. wandering around a car park D. taking a walk in a backyard
42. Cranberry was Mr. Watkins’s pet dogs when they first met.
A. unkind to B. frightened by
C. careful with D. not interested in
43. What did Mr. Watkins do to stop Cranberry stealing from the Labradors?
A. He separated them. B. He gave her a dog bowl.
C. He built a kennel for her. D. He kept her in the house.
44. What does the underlined word “stroked” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Touched. B. Fed. C. Kept. D. Followed.
45. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A turkey becomes a pet B. A turkey thinks it is a dog
C. A turkey finds a new home D. A turkey makes friends with humans
B
I was on the train going to work reading a newspaper. A pregnant (怀孕的) woman sat nearby, with a child in a stroller (童车) and luggage on her other side. It was midday so the train wasn’t crowded. I didn’t think anything of her. But later she started grimacing (表情痛苦的). Two women beside me noticed and I saw one lady go over to her asking if she was on her way to hospital. I heard the pregnant lady say she was on her way to the Jamaica station. She looked like she was giving birth to a baby and I thought these kind women would help her.
I became nervous when they both left at their stop. I was nearing my stop, and I could see she was very uncomfortable. So, I asked if she needed any help. She said no, she was fine; her mom was going to pick her up at the station, which was 3 stops after mine. I decided I would make sure she got safely off the subway.
She was grimacing more and more. I took hold of her luggage while she pushed her child in the stroller. I knew I would never forgive myself if I heard she was on the 6:00 pm news giving birth in the underpass. I walked with her till I saw her mother at the end of the platform. I said take care and good luck; I felt I had to do the right thing and not to turn a blind eye. I told her she needed my help and I was there; she said she would do the same and said “God bless you” and gave me a quick hug.
When I looked back she was still in pain and could barely walk, and I was very happy I had helped her and hoped someone would do the same if he were in such a situation.

Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performers are amateurs (业余爱好者) who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres around the world are community theatres. The definition of community theatre is a theatre that puts on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.
In the 1880s, “little theatre” was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply want to infuse (注入) a little culture into the life of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other small expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.
51. “Little theatre” was first started in Europe in order to .
A. put on shows for children B. collect money for poor people
C. entertain poor people
D. make theatrical productions more popular
52. In what way can community theatres help young people?
A. They can help young people make more money.
B. They can help prevent young people getting into trouble.
C. They can help young people go to colleges.
D. They can help young people become more responsible.
53. Which of the following is TRUE about community theatres?
A. They are usually funded by the government.
B. They intend to train professional actors.
C. They benefit people in many ways.
D. They are quite different from the old “little theatres”.
54. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. some professional actors may come from community theatres
B. community theatres only charge for costumes
C. community theatres have lost their attraction today
D. people can live by acting in community theatres
55. What attitude does the author have towards community theatres?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
D
Have you heard about MOOCs? Through such courses, tens of thousands of people can take classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a computer and a network connection.
For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science, engineering or mechanics. Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities (人文学科) be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs. He says, “There are parts that will be fine as mostly when students listen to a lecture, there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it.” However, Mr Anderson also says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers. He says two ways to deal with this are by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York. She says, “Online education has some weaknesses for her subjects. What’s lost in online education is face-to-face interaction (交流).” Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments (作业), blogs and discussion groups.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown. He says that after leading classes for more than thirty years, he would not try to teach a MOOC. However, Mr Pogue sees good value in online education. He noted a strong sense of community in an online course he once took. He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
56. What can we learn about MOOCs from the passage?
A. They are large lectures given by universities.
B. They are free unpopular courses in universities.
C. They are online courses for people all over the world.
D. They are online courses only given to college students.
57. What Scott Anderson says in Paragraph 3 shows that MOOCs .
A. will make students unable to communicate with others
B. have many experienced teachers
C. are only given in a few subjects at present
D. have both advantages and disadvantages
58. According to Lisa Jadwin, what is the disadvantage of online classes?
A. Many students will stay away from school.
B. Students don’t have many subjects to choose from.
C. Teachers and students can’t interact face to face.
D. Some teachers may be out of work.
59. From the last paragraph we can learn that Bill Pogue .
A. is interested in teaching a MOOC
B. totally goes against online education
C. thinks that online education has its value
D. doesn’t think online education will be well received
60. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The development of online education.
B. Some teachers’ opinion on MOOCs.
C. The writer’s opinion on MOOCs.
D. A brief introduction of MOOCs.

Tom Farber gives a lot of tests. He’s a math teacher, after all. So when administrators announced the district was cutting spending on supplies by nearly a third, Farber had a problem. At 3 cents a page, his tests would cost more than $500 a year. His copying budget: $316. But he wanted to give students enough practice for the big tests they’ll face in the spring.
“Tough times call for tough actions,” he says. So he started selling ads on his test papers: $10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, $30 for a semester final. San Diego magazine and The San Diego Union-Tribune reported his plan just before Thanksgiving, and Farber came home from a few days out of town to send 75 e-mail requests for ads. So far, he has collected $350. His semester final is sold out.
About two-thirds of Farber’s ads are inspirational messages purchased by parents. Others are ads for local businesses, such as two from a structural engineering firm and one from a dentist who urges students, “Prepare Yourself for a Difficult Semester!”
To Farber, 47, it’s a logical solution: “We’re expected to do more with less.”
The National Education Association says teachers spend about $430 out of their pockets each year for school supplies. This semester, Christine Van Ruiten, a teacher at E.C. Reems, a charter school in East Oakland, has spent $2,000. She goes around Craigslist for free supplies and posts requests to DonorsChoose.org, which matches teachers with donors.
Founded in 2000 by Charles Best, then a teacher, DonorsChoose has funded about 65,000 projects totaling $26 million. Best calls it “a more substantive (实际的) choice for teachers than selling candy door-to-door — and certainly than selling ad space on final exams. That’s crazy.”
61. According to the first paragraph, which of the following proverbs matches the way to learn math well?
A. The early bird catches the worms.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Never too late to learn.
D. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
62. Tom Farber wants to raise some money to .
A. spend on Thanksgiving Day B. advertise his school
C. cover his budget for the tests D. help poor students
63. What did Tom Farber do to carry out his plan?
A. He put ads in two local magazines.
B. He sent 75 e-mail requests for ads.
C. He asked the parents to pay for the papers.
D. He held a party before Thanksgiving Day.
64. According to the author, the best way for teachers to solve the financial problem is to .
A. sell ad space on test papers B. sell candy door-to-door
C. turn to DonorsChoose.org D. take tough actions
65. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Give students enough practice B. Cutting spending by a third
C. Prepare for a difficult semester D. Ads on tests add up for the teacher
第三部分 书面表达(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 阅读表达（第56题2分，第57、58、60题每题3分，第59题4分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Seth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.
[2] Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that, everywhere he went, there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.
[3] Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do. But he found some items that were in plentiful supply and would not create competition between . Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says they have a lot of energy stored in them. He says they have an excellent heating value which can be compared to coal. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.
[4] A company in India is using small generators (发电机) in villages to make electricity from remains of rice. The process used is called gasification (气化). Professor DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power.
[5] The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well. But Professor DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste that gasification can produce. And money is needed to get these projects started.
66. What did Seth DeBolt and other scientists want to do for poor people in rural areas of developing countries? (no more than 12 words)
67. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
68. Why didn’t Seth DeBolt want a fuel crop to be grown in poor developing countries? (no more than 12 words)
69. How to create electricity with coconut shells? (no more than 8 words)
70. What is the disadvantage of the solution? (no more than 15 words)

A
Cranberry the turkey, saved from the Christmas dinner table, now thinks she’s a dog. She loves going for walks, living in a kennel (狗窝), and even “barking”.
Jerry and Dawn Watkins took the bird into their family after it was found wandering around a car park, and were puzzled when it took a liking to their pet Labradors (拉布拉多犬)—Teal and Widgeon.
Mr. Watkins, 55, the National Director for Equine Welfare at Horse World in Bristol, says, “We got a call from a member of the public after they found her. She’s a very friendly bird. We were very careful about introducing her to the dogs, but Cranberry seemed unconcerned. The dogs were just interested.”
Strangely, even though Labradors are bred to hunt game birds, the eight-year-old bird is the leader of the pack among her friends. Mr. Watkins says, “She’s the boss. She will steal the dog’s feed, and they would never dream of trying to get it back from her. She’s now got her own dog bowl for her corn and dog biscuits to stop her stealing food from the dogs. Every morning, we let them out and the dogs follow her around.”
“Once animals get to know each other, they understand each other’s body language and behavior, so it doesn’t really surprise me. The only thing she won’t do is fetch. She picks things up but just eats them.”
Cranberry has her own kennel right next door to the dogs’ day kennel, but can be found relaxing in the house.
Mr. Watkins says, “She loves being stroked. If you stroke her, she relaxes instantly.”
Cranberry loves wandering around with the dogs, and has even proved to be a great “guard dog”. Mrs. Watkins, 34, a lecturer at Norton Radstock College, says, “If someone is coming up the garden path, she’s really useful, because she’s got her own alert call.”
41. Cranberry was when people found her.
A. playing with dogs B. relaxing in a kennel
C. wandering around a car park D. taking a walk in a backyard
42. Cranberry was Mr. Watkins’s pet dogs when they first met.
A. unkind to B. frightened by

43. What did Mr. Watkins do to stop Cranberry stealing from the Labradors?
A. He separated them. B. He gave her a dog bowl.
C. He built a kennel for her. D. He kept her in the house.
44. What does the underlined word “stroked” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Touched. B. Fed. C. Kept. D. Followed.
45. What would be the best title for the text?

C. A turkey finds a new home D. A turkey makes friends with humans

I was on the train going to work reading a newspaper. A pregnant (怀孕的) woman sat nearby, with a child in a stroller (童车) and luggage on her other side. It was midday so the train wasn’t crowded. I didn’t think anything of her. But later she started grimacing (表情痛苦的). Two women beside me noticed and I saw one lady go over to her asking if she was on her way to hospital. I heard the pregnant lady say she was on her way to the Jamaica station. She looked like she was giving birth to a baby and I thought these kind women would help her.
I became nervous when they both left at their stop. I was nearing my stop, and I could see she was very uncomfortable. So, I asked if she needed any help. She said no, she was fine; her mom was going to pick her up at the station, which was 3 stops after mine. I decided I would make sure she got safely off the subway.
She was grimacing more and more. I took hold of her luggage while she pushed her child in the stroller. I knew I would never forgive myself if I heard she was on the 6:00 pm news giving birth in the underpass. I walked with her till I saw her mother at the end of the platform. I said take care and good luck; I felt I had to do the right thing and not to turn a blind eye. I told her she needed my help and I was there; she said she would do the same and said “God bless you” and gave me a quick hug.
When I looked back she was still in pain and could barely walk, and I was very happy I had helped her and hoped someone would do the same if he were in such a situation.

Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performers are amateurs (业余爱好者) who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres around the world are community theatres. The definition of community theatre is a theatre that puts on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.
In the 1880s, “little theatre” was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply want to infuse (注入) a little culture into the life of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other small expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.
51. “Little theatre” was first started in Europe in order to .
A. put on shows for children B. collect money for poor people
C. entertain poor people
D. make theatrical productions more popular
52. In what way can community theatres help young people?
A. They can help young people make more money.
B. They can help prevent young people getting into trouble.
C. They can help young people go to colleges.
D. They can help young people become more responsible.
53. Which of the following is TRUE about community theatres?
A. They are usually funded by the government.
B. They intend to train professional actors.
C. They benefit people in many ways.
D. They are quite different from the old “little theatres”.
54. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. some professional actors may come from community theatres
B. community theatres only charge for costumes
C. community theatres have lost their attraction today
D. people can live by acting in community theatres
55. What attitude does the author have towards community theatres?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

Have you heard about MOOCs? Through such courses, tens of thousands of people can take classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a computer and a network connection.
For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science, engineering or mechanics. Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities (人文学科) be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs. He says, “There are parts that will be fine as mostly when students listen to a lecture, there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it.” However, Mr Anderson also says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers. He says two ways to deal with this are by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York. She says, “Online education has some weaknesses for her subjects. What’s lost in online education is face-to-face interaction (交流).” Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments (作业), blogs and discussion groups.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown. He says that after leading classes for more than thirty years, he would not try to teach a MOOC. However, Mr Pogue sees good value in online education. He noted a strong sense of community in an online course he once took. He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
56. What can we learn about MOOCs from the passage?
A. They are large lectures given by universities.
B. They are free unpopular courses in universities.
C. They are online courses for people all over the world.
D. They are online courses only given to college students.
57. What Scott Anderson says in Paragraph 3 shows that MOOCs .
A. will make students unable to communicate with others
B. have many experienced teachers
C. are only given in a few subjects at present
D. have both advantages and disadvantages
58. According to Lisa Jadwin, what is the disadvantage of online classes?
A. Many students will stay away from school.
B. Students don’t have many subjects to choose from.
C. Teachers and students can’t interact face to face.
D. Some teachers may be out of work.
59. From the last paragraph we can learn that Bill Pogue .
A. is interested in teaching a MOOC
B. totally goes against online education
C. thinks that online education has its value
D. doesn’t think online education will be well received
60. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The development of online education.
B. Some teachers’ opinion on MOOCs.
C. The writer’s opinion on MOOCs.
D. A brief introduction of MOOCs.

Tom Farber gives a lot of tests. He’s a math teacher, after all. So when administrators announced the district was cutting spending on supplies by nearly a third, Farber had a problem. At 3 cents a page, his tests would cost more than $500 a year. His copying budget: $316. But he wanted to give students enough practice for the big tests they’ll face in the spring.
“Tough times call for tough actions,” he says. So he started selling ads on his test papers: $10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, $30 for a semester final. San Diego magazine and The San Diego Union-Tribune reported his plan just before Thanksgiving, and Farber came home from a few days out of town to send 75 e-mail requests for ads. So far, he has collected $350. His semester final is sold out.
About two-thirds of Farber’s ads are inspirational messages purchased by parents. Others are ads for local businesses, such as two from a structural engineering firm and one from a dentist who urges students, “Prepare Yourself for a Difficult Semester!”
To Farber, 47, it’s a logical solution: “We’re expected to do more with less.”
The National Education Association says teachers spend about $430 out of their pockets each year for school supplies. This semester, Christine Van Ruiten, a teacher at E.C. Reems, a charter school in East Oakland, has spent $2,000. She goes around Craigslist for free supplies and posts requests to DonorsChoose.org, which matches teachers with donors.
Founded in 2000 by Charles Best, then a teacher, DonorsChoose has funded about 65,000 projects totaling $26 million. Best calls it “a more substantive (实际的) choice for teachers than selling candy door-to-door — and certainly than selling ad space on final exams. That’s crazy.”
61. According to the first paragraph, which of the following proverbs matches the way to learn math well?
A. The early bird catches the worms.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Never too late to learn.
D. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
62. Tom Farber wants to raise some money to .
A. spend on Thanksgiving Day B. advertise his school
C. cover his budget for the tests D. help poor students
63. What did Tom Farber do to carry out his plan?
A. He put ads in two local magazines.
B. He sent 75 e-mail requests for ads.
C. He asked the parents to pay for the papers.
D. He held a party before Thanksgiving Day.
64. According to the author, the best way for teachers to solve the financial problem is to .
A. sell ad space on test papers B. sell candy door-to-door
C. turn to DonorsChoose.org D. take tough actions
65. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Give students enough practice B. Cutting spending by a third
C. Prepare for a difficult semester D. Ads on tests add up for the teacher
第三部分 书面表达(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 阅读表达（第56题2分，第57、58、60题每题3分，第59题4分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Seth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.
[2] Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that, everywhere he went, there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.
[3] Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do. But he found some items that were in plentiful supply and would not create competition between . Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says they have a lot of energy stored in them. He says they have an excellent heating value which can be compared to coal. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.
[4] A company in India is using small generators (发电机) in villages to make electricity from remains of rice. The process used is called gasification (气化). Professor DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power.
[5] The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well. But Professor DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste that gasification can produce. And money is needed to get these projects started.
66. What did Seth DeBolt and other scientists want to do for poor people in rural areas of developing countries? (no more than 12 words)
67. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
68. Why didn’t Seth DeBolt want a fuel crop to be grown in poor developing countries? (no more than 12 words)
69. How to create electricity with coconut shells? (no more than 8 words)
70. What is the disadvantage of the solution? (no more than 15 words)
