Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe Great People and Great Inventions(建议用时35分钟). 阅读理解APicture the scene. Youre on your way home when you remember the fridge is empty but you dont have a pound for the trolley(手推车)and parking is a nightmare. Or you promised to pick up a six-pack of beer on the way to a friends party but its pouring with rain and parking is still a nightmare. Wouldnt it be great if you could pick up what you need without getting out of your car? Russian inventor Dahir Kurmanbievich has thought of a drive-through supermarket that would make all that possible. A customer would drive up to an available bay, much like in a petrol station, and while remaining in the car, select the goods by operating with a button. These goods are placed immediately onto a conveyor(传输)belt, where they travel a few feet to the checkout. When finished, the customer drives forward, pays for the goods and drives off with them. Mr Kurmanbievich said the invention is directed at “solving the technical problem of improving the quality of customer service while providing probable convenience and choice of products, reducing time to service customers, cutting the queue time and lowering the costs of the supermarket”. So-called drive-through supermarkets have already been tried by some big supermarkets, but these operate more like click-and-collect services as customers have to order their goods online between two hours and three weeks in advance. While the drive-through supermarket would need a lot of space and infrastructure(基础设施)investment to get off the ground, it would combine the consumers convenience and speed of buying goods online with the sales opportunities that come with product discovery on store shelves. Its great while fuel prices are low. The question is: will driverless cars be able to do the shopping? 1. What can you do in a drive-through supermarket? A. You can park your car wherever you like. B. You can buy what you want in your car. C. You can use the trolley free of charge. D.

The destruction of waste treatment systems can increase the risk of disease and even death among survivors. Some people dig holes in the ground that serve as individual toilets. However, micro-organisms from human waste can reach water supplies and cause cholera or other diseases. A United Nations team is now developing a toilet for disaster areas. The experimental project is called eSOSfor the Emergency Sanitation Operation System. The system is lightweight and operates on sunlight power. Scientists are working on the toilet at the UNs Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands. Damir Brdjanovic is heading the project. He says his team hopes to bring disaster assistance into the 21st century. The eSOS system has several “smart” features, such as a self-contained energy supply unit. Another is a global positioning system sensor, very much like the GPS equipment in some vehicles. There is also equipment that measures waste buildup. All of the information from the toilet system can be shared with an emergency organization center. Officials at the center can then identify the needs of an affected disaster area. The eSOS system can also recycle liquid wastes into water that can be used for farming. This involves treating the urine(尿液)with the help of a membrane bioreactor system(膜生物反应器系统). The smart toilet is being tested. Damir Brdjanovic and his team plan to test the toilet at a refugee camp in Philippines later this year. The developers hope this disaster relief will save the lives of many refugees. 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一个联合国研究团队发明的供灾民使用的环保马桶。5. Whats the best title for the passage? A.

The eSOS system can recycle liquid wastes into drinkable water. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段Damir Brdjanovic and his team plan to test the toilet at a refugee camp in Philippines later this year. 一句可推知这种新卫生系统将很快投入使用。. 阅读填句根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。Walking down the street, you notice the plain, boring walls on either side of you.
