However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged(损坏)

19、the only power cables(电缆)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(解

20、决方法).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, t

21、he science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the suns 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一the building blocks of electrical energy. The

22、UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamps batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours 一enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the vi

23、llagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success!

26、ding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for rabbits.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The point is because of weather change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US.Take the Lower Keys

27、 Marsh rabbit as an example. It lives on the islands, but it is seriously affected（影响）now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of 0.9-meter would destroy their living place completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color problem. Mo

28、st of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, which gives them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow becoming less, more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring, making them a

29、n easier mark for predators. American pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change. Pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally move to higher ground but they already live on the mountaintops.

30、 They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700 meters, but

31、there are not right plants for them to move higher, so they have to stay in the middle.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their living places have been destroyed by development. They also l

33、 show the importance of Easter Day.DTo discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits.2Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now?ABecause they have moved to the places with fewer plants.BBecause they can hardly live on color cover as before.CBecause they cant change their color

34、 into white.DBecause they are left to more skillful hunters.3What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits?AThey are both affected by less snow.BNeither of them can find enough food.CNeither of them can move to higher place.DThey are both affected by rising sea levels.4What can you i

35、nfer from the passage?APredators are more skillful than before.BThe weather is getting much hotter now.CThere will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon.DPeople should care more about the rabbit problem.C15、Oink! The Year of the Pig is coming. Many people believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and

36、 dirty. But are any of those things true?It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes.

37、ulin can treat diabetes (糖尿病).People sometimes say, “You are as stupid as a pig.” But pigs are not stupid. In fact, pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people t

38、each pigs to find something. With their good sense of smell, they can find it even faster than dogs.When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. Thats because pigs have no sweat glands (汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects off of them as we

39、ll. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.These opinions of pigs often make us have wrong ideas about the animal. For example, if someone eats a lot, we say that they have “pigged out”. If someones room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty.But people in ancient Chi

40、na really liked pigs. People thought the pigs big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. If someone had a round and full face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的).
