One of beers most important ingredients(成分)is water. If water becomes limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater. They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer. That is why Stone Beer Company, near San Diego, California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the citys water by 2035. Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from waste water. Waste water is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets. Stone is a large beer factory. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded peoples reactions as they tasted the beer. Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success. The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.24.Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?A.To try new sources of water. B.To make special taste for beer.C.To reduce the cost of production. D.To give up pure water in production.25.What did Stone Beer Company want Pure Water San Diego to do?A.Help it to develop new kind of beer. B.Supply the majority of water to the city.C.Make waste water clean enough to make beer.D.Deal with its waste water from the beer production process.26.What do we know about the special beer “Full Circle Pale Ale”?A.It was welcomed by the public. B.Few people dared to taste it.C.It will be sold in large quantities. D.It received great attention from the media.27.What did Stone Beer Company think of the reports about the beer?A.They are satisfying. B.They are disappointing.C.They are surprising. D.They are beneficial. CThe United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals. The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day”. And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖），the agency says，their offspring (后代）are safe to eat as well. The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents.On December 28th the FDA released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd The FDA seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research. For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals. Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The FDA says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves，but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities. Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animal is grown into an embryo in the laboratory. Next，the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫）of a female animal. If the process is success full the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.28. From the passage，we know .A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foodsB. foods from cloned animals are popular in AmericaC. cloned animals will be easy to produceD. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves29. Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.C. Critics. D. The FDA.30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineeringB. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copyC. the donor animal should be a female oneD. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones31. The best title of the passage is “ ”.A. Food Production in the US B. Cloned Foods Waiting for SaleC. Peoples Comments on Cloned Foods D. Cloning and Genetic Engineering DWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear wind or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be artificial leaves.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known asphotosynthesis(光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a specialsilicon chip withcatalysts(催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogenand oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuelcell(电池), using those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be aninexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology” said an American scientist, Nocera.An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensiveand unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operatecontinuously for at least 45 hours.The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful new,inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energytransformation inside the leaf moreefficient with water and sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available.This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.Hopefully, each home could have access to the new application in the future.32. The purpose of this article is to . A.introduce a new kind of device B.ask people to do the research C.advertise the new product D.show the process of photosynthesis33. Which of the following is NOT the advantages of the new leaf? A.Its low in cost. B.Its small in size. C.It has a wonderful fuel cell. D.Its convenient for people to use.34.What conclusion can be drawn from the text? A.Nocera thought the new leaf is expensive for developing countries. B.Villages in Africa have benefited a lot from the new invention. C.Silicon chip can help the new leaf work more effectively. D.The equipment doesnt necessarily operate in pure water.35.Whats the writers attitude towards the new device?A.Negative. B.Optimistic. C.Doubtful. D.Uncertain.二、七选五根据短文内容，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。Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence .
