Though much ecotalk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algae(藻类)Algae, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis(光合作用) and can be processed into fuel oil. However, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the US. Department of Energy. Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted waterwhile corn and soy require arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the worlds population balloons.“If you replaced all the diesel(柴油) in the US. with soy biodiesel, it would take half the land mass of the US. to grow those soybeans，” says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Calif-based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology. On the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland (12,407 square miles), the 42nd state in land area.Another bonus: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, theyre being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber. Smokestack emissions (烟囱排放物) can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.Although processing technology for algae fuelalso known as “oilgae” in some environmentalist circlesis improving, its still years away from reaching your local gas pump. “Its just a question of cost, because no large-scale facilities have been built yet，” Caspari says.1. The underlined word “yield” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _.A. control B. require C. produce D. grow2. Compared with corn and soybeans, algae_.A. may pollute water and soilB. can grow in poor conditionsC. provide much less energyD. need more special care3. According to Paragraph 3, one of the advantages of algae fuel is that_.A. it can be used more widelyB. it is more easy to produceC. it needs much less landD. it costs much less money4. What do we learn about algae from Paragraph 4?A. Algae help protect the environment.B. People can grow algae anywhere.C. Fish can get more oxygen from algae.D. Algae produce less waste.5. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Environmental protection.B. Biofuels from corn and soybeans.C. The false hope of biofuels.D. A promising oil alternative.B字数：378 完成时间：5分钟 难度：Prince Charles yesterday, promised to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule.

They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target.“During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere，” Yi said.“At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too.”Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Soviet era cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning.“In fact, they are the heroes right now，” Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. “Im just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero.” She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS.“I sang Fly Me to the Moon” Yi said about the 1950s pop song. “Its my favorite song from university although at that time I didnt know I would be an astronaut.”The capsules so-called “ballistic” re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.Whitson told reporters that Saturdays ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency.“The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but Im sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed，” she said.In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysias first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off_course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.The Soyuz is the worlds longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.1. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Flight in space is very dangerousB. Not everybody can go into spaceC. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronautD. Yi didnt know she would be an astronaut when she was young2. The reason why Yi So-yeon felt afraid at first was that _.A. a fire was caused by the frictionB. she had no such experience beforeC. she was not brave enoughD. the other two didnt help her3. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South KoreaB. Whi
