You are all alone- well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity.“This is a special organism (有机体),”Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable, because sugar can be taken from waste and crops.But the sugar-to-electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity.And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely.“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean.Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas.19 . Whats the passage mainly about?AHow to change sugar into electricity.BA scientific invention of a new type of battery.CHow to use the new bacteria battery.DA new kind of mobile phone and its future.20 . Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery?AConvenient.BStable.CInexpensive.DQuick.21 . Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery?AIncrease the bacteria.BSolve the pollution problem.CBring down the price.DChange the size of the battery.22 . What does the underlined sentence actually mean?AThe bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.BScientists will continue their work until they find solar power.CThere is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.DThe bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years.23 . According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?ADivers.BFarmers.CDoctors.DArchitects.Haveyoueverbeeninaconflict(冲突)?Doyouknowhowtosolveit?Conflictresolutionisapeacefulwayoftrying to solveaconflict.Bothsidesintheconflictexplainwhat theythinkhappened to cause it.The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).Afterbothsidestellwhattheythinkhappenedtocausetheconflict,theydiscusswaystosolveit.Theytrytocomeupwitha“resolution”thatbothsidesagreeto.They cannotbeangryduringthecommunication.Everyoneshouldusegoodlisteningandattendingskillswhiletalking.Ifvoicesgettooloudoritappearsthatsomeoneisangry,themediatorwillspeakupandhavethemtreateachotherwithrespect.

Email has helped the spread of careless writing habits,” says Baron, a professor at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in emails show the growing unconcern about the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldnt forgive and forget the poor writing in emails. “The more we use the email, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.Others say that though it has poor writing, email has done what several generations (代）of English teachers couldnt do. It has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a new communication technology,” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap (缺口）between spoken language and the formal (正式的）methods of writing. It is the purest form of written speech.”Lancashire says email can help people who are usually afraid of writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because email is close to speech. “Its like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.Still, he accepts that this freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. The number of emails sent in a day almost is the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content (内容）of a typical email message is not often exact.38 . What can we know according to Baron?AEmail changes the way people communicate in everyday life.BPeople should check the email many times before sending it.CMore people dont take the mistakes seriously when writing an email.DEmail has become a normal way of writing.39 . What does the underlined word “it” refer to?AEmail.BThe poor writing.CThe good w
