II.阅读理解
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 2016 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 idea 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 2016. 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.

A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.

2. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from ________.
A. plant food B. plant waste C. the soil’s heat D. the sun’s energy
3. What is true about the Plant Lamp
A. It can be made by local people.
B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.
C. It can produce all the electricity the village needs.
D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.
4. The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for _________.

How to keep more food on the table
It's said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them Here are some tips:
1
Start with the fresh food. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else. you’ll probably save more time using what’s on hand.
2
“Best-before”and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to the different periods of food and know what foods are good for. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
3
The freezer can keep food fresh until you are ready to cook them, then store the cooked food until you’re ready to eat it. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it's easy to find the food you need to eat first and will never leave them there for too long.
4
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it's possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

IV.阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。
The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo—a logo that flies. It’s a new form of advertising in the sky
has never been used before. It’s a different way to market your products, logos, and events.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles(肥皂泡) mixed with a little helium gas(氦气), which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky, Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15～25 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300～500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.

There is still a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China. People in the country make about 300 1 (million) tons of rubbish every year. But they only recycle less than a quarter of the waste. The rest of it ends up in landfills. Most of it is unsorted. The good news is that many cities 9 (try) different ways to make things better. Beijing will start a new program 10
