It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water. Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long beeaban doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing. According to reports, China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m3 daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.Scientists say there is about 21, 000 trillion (万亿) m3 of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the worlds energy need for 1, 000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源) has been found because we are still facing two main challengesenvironmental risk and economic (经济的)cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. Thats very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases. Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well. However, Chinas technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy.（1）What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A . China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice.B . China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country.C . China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed.D . China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy.（2）Whats the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice? A . How to take it out from the bottom of the sea.B . How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost.C . How to make it cheap on the future energy market.D . How to change it into a traditional form of energy.（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found? A . Because its too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it.B . Because its not easy for the fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment.C . Because its quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy.D . Because its expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment.（4）Where can we probably read the article? A . In a storybook.B . In a newspaper.C . In a travel guide.D . In an advertisement.13. （8分）An artist went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday, and stayed with a farmer.
