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 commu nities, 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 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 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 need

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 _________.

A. rainforest communities

B. cars

C. poor people in cities

D. farmers

5. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To report on a new invention

B. To explain a new scientific theory

C. To describe how electricity is made

D. To discuss the problems of poor villages

【阅读表达】

One day John invited me to his farm．When I arrived at his farm，I was surprised to see a pig with three artificial(人造的)legs．I asked John why the pig had them．He said，“One day，while I was checking one of the tires(轮胎)of my car。the car suddenly started to move slowly and then I was trapped under the wheel．Just then Pinky，the pig，saw this．It ran back to the house and

pulled my wife out of the house．Then my wife realized something was happening and then helped me get out of wheel．It’s a smart pig．”

“The story is amazing，but it can’t explain why Pinky has the artificial legs，”I said．“Well，let me tell you another accident．Once，my son hit his head on a stone while swimming in a lake．He began to go down when Pinky jumped into the water，swam to him and pulled him up onto the bank，”John said．

“Great! Most pigs can’t swim，but Pinky can!”I said．

“Last year，a strong fire broke out in my house．My family were asleep at that time．Pinky kept barking around the house until we all woke up．We rushed out just several minutes before the house came down，”John continued．

“Pinky is actually a special pig，but I really want to know why it has three artificial legs，”I said anxiously．

“But unluckily，”said John，“Pinky had its legs broken in the accident．”

1．How many times has Pinky saved John and his family?

2．How did Pinky help John and his family when their house was on fire while they were asleep? 3．Do you like this story? Why or why not?

Recently, all of us are talking about how to be civilized students in our .school.

In my opinion, we should be polite to our parents and help-them do more housework at home. At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need.

If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.

Let's join together to be civilized students!

初三英语阅读组合训练(六)

初三英语阅读组合训练（六） On a Saturday morning, my left arm went numb(麻木的), and I felt dizzy. I was taken to hospital. After a quick 41 , the doctor said I had a stroke. As waves of paralysis(瘫痪) came over me, I slowly lost 42 of my body. I was just 50 and I c ouldn’t believe it. After two operations, I was transferred to the Recovery Center（恢复中心）. Though I had lost the use of my 43 arm and leg and couldn’t see out of my left eye, the only thought on my mind was to return to my job. But in fact I needed to relearn how to 44 and see first and this just made me feel like it was 45 to become well again. A few days after my first discouraging physical therapy(治疗) session, my mother came into my room with a neatly-typed 46 written by a nine-year-old boy named Jackson. He told me about the stroke he’d had only a year earlier. He, too, had been paralyzed on his left side. But, beyond telling me what he had lost, Jackson shared what I would 47 . “Do not give up on yourself. All the hard work is worth it.” he wrote. And the advice kept on coming. He told me to 48 the therapy on the hospital’s “grown-up” floor, where “they make you work hard and you get lots of things back fast.” Here I was, a grown man and a senator(参议员) of Illinois, getting 49 from a young boy I had 50 met. After a few weeks of writing letters to each other, I arranged for us to meet. He seemed 51 at first, but the embarrassing situation quickly melted away. Jackson showed me how he could run, and I immediately felt encouraged. One thing I particularly 52 was the energy and dignity radiating from him. As for my recovery, it 53 just as Jackson said it would. After a year of intense physical therapy, I climbed to the top of the Capitol and returned to work. With every step I took, I thought of Jackson and his courage and confidence. Whenever I was tired or 54 , I thought of him, the world’s 55 boy. 41. A. decision B. examination C. description D. discussion 42. A. hope B. sight C. memory D. control 43. A. right B. left C. single D. only 44. A. speak B. run C. stand D. climb 45. A. important B. helpful C. impossible D. cruel 46. A. book B. letter C. novel D. present 47. A. experience B. discover C. lose D. get 48. A. attend B. refuse C. end D. overcome 49. A. information B. knowledge C. advice D. success 50. A. sometimes B. seldom C. ever D. never 51. A. confident B. nervous C. upset D. serious 52. A. expected B. admired C. recalled D. believed 53.

(完整版)人教版七年级英语阅读题及答案

阅读（1） There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can’t work all that time-we need a holiday. Let’s say we have three weeks’ holiday. We don’t work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember th at we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours’ lunch every day, and half an hour’s coffee break. That c omes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year! （ B ）1.

I found the sleeping bags under the bed in my room. I also packed some snacks（零食）. We could hardly wait for it to get dark. We opened our sleeping bags and put them on the grass in front of my house. Steve and I played some games, talked about something interesting and had a snack. In the end it got dark. We were just falling asleep when We heard something unusual. “Maybe it is just a small animal,” I said. Steve said nothing, but I could feel he was frightened. After I looked around, I was sure it wasn’t an animal. It was my little brother, Tommy. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “You know, Tommy, you frightened us.”“Sorry, Bill,” he said. “It’s hot in the room. I want to sleep outside with you.”“Well, OK,” I said. “Just come and lie down next to us.” “Good night, Bill and Steve,” said Tommy. “And thanks.”
