ANowadays, as the society develops, the need of fuel is getting larger and larger. How can we get more and cheaper fuel One company in New Jersey is developing a special way to get low-cost bio-fuels（生物燃料）from sugar, an importang part forgetting ethanol (乙醇).In order to make bio-fuels cheaper, the company called Proterro, is trying to cut the cost of making sugar. The company is getting photosynthetic microorganisms (光合微生物) to produce large amounts of sugar, and it is designing a special way to grow the microorganisms using small amounts of microorganisms, such as algae（藻类）, are usually thought that it can produce oils. Proterro paid so much attention to making sugar because bio-fuel ethanol is mainly from it, and it’s also the starting point for new ways of making other types of bio-fuels.Today, almost all of the sugar for bio-fuels is made from corn or sugarcane（甘蔗），and several companies are trying more ways to make sugar from other plants such as grass and trees. “But we’ve just got the beginning to make bio-fuels; sugar is still expensive,”says Kef kasdin, Proterro’s CEO. Only sugar from sugarcane is cheap enough, and that can only be grown inexpensively in some places, such as Brazil.51. Why do people try to make bio-fuelsA. The usual fuels are getting more and more.B. Bio-fuels are more important than the usual fuels.C. The usual fuels are getting cheaper.D. Bio-fuels are cheaper than the usual fuels.52. How are people trying to make bio-fuels cheaperA. By making more bio-fuels.B. By cutting the cost of making sugar.C. By getting more photosynthetic microorganisms.D. By using small amouts of water.53. Which of the followings might NOT be used to make bio-fuelsA. Wheat C. Corn54. How many types of bio-fuels have been made according to the passageA. One C. Three55. What do Kef kasdin’s words mean .bio-fuels has become quite easy.B. Bio-fuels may be a little more expensive.C. The company hasn’t cut the cost low enough yet.D. The company can only get sugar from sugarcane now.BEvery August on the island of Heimaey, off the southern coast of Iceland(冰岛), young people often take a walk along the streets throughout the night. What’s more, their parents allow them to stay out. Why The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins―small black-and-white seabirds.The cliffs(悬崖) above the town are home to a large group of puffins. The birds dig holes all around the cliffs. These holes are their homes. Their young stay in the holes for about seven weeks. Then they begin to leave. Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and feet down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Heimaey. There, they swim, which they can do naturally, and learn to dive for fish. Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead. On the ground, the young seabirds are in trouble. Because their wings are not fully developed, they cannot take off quickly tosea and safety. The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals.For many years, islanders have helped the young puffins. Early at night in late August, children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins. They spend most of the night running after the birds. They put the birds they’ve caught in boxes and take good care of them. The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free. The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old. Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families.Will the children of Heimaey always come to save puffins “Yes, “answer the boys.”We look forward to it. The best time for us is sett ing the birds free.”56. Every August children of Heimaey are allowed to stay out all night to_______.A. catch puffins and take them homeB. free puffins from dangerC. drive puffins awayD. run after puffins for pleasure57. The young seabirds that lose their way and find themselvesin the town are in danger of_______.A. being killed by huntersB. being driven away from the townC. being killed by animalsD. being hungry to death58. The children put the seabirds in boxes and _______.A. look after them very carefully for several days, then, set them freeB. set them free when they grow bigger and can take off to sea and safetyC. carry them to the ocean right away to set them freeD. they don’t set the birds free until the next morning59. The children look forward to August because _______.A. they enjoy playing the game of running after seabirdsB. it’s time for them to go out at night to save puffinsC. it’s time for the children to play with the birdsD. the children can stay out at night to watch puffins coming to the town60.
