Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywherefrom trees and grasses to agricultural and citylife wastesbiomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the suns energy. In this way, biomass serves as a_sort_of_natural_battery(电池) for storing the suns energy. As long as biomass is produced continuouslywith only as much grown as is usedthe “battery” lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nations total electricity supply. In 2008although the numbers arent all in yetwind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowners money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it. 25Why is biomass considered as “ a sort of natural battery”？AIt burns merely plant matter.BIt keeps producing electricity.CIt stores the energy from the sun.DIt produces zero carbon dioxide.26We learn from the text that in 2008_.Awind power would be the leader of renewable energy Bthere was a rapid growth of electricity productionCbiomass might become the main energy sourceD0.5%0.9% of power supply came from biomass27Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?ATo prevent the waste of energy.BTo increase production safety.CTo reduce pollution.DTo save money.28Where does the text probably come from?AA research plan. BA science magazine. CA book review. DA business report.CToday, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice house and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.29The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area_.Awhere people can buy thingsBwhich is suitable for living inCwhere people can do businessDwhich is near a city center30Why do people move to live in cities or towns?ABecause they can live more comfortably there.BBecause they like noisy life better than peaceful life.CBecause they mainly want to find work there.DBecause they are sure of having a better life there.31Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?ABig companies usually have their main offices in the business district.BPeople usually work and live in the business district.CA business district usually lies in the city center downtown.DNearly every major city has its own business district.32We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas_.Ahas been going on for more than 2,000 yearsBwill surely continue in the futureCmay not continue in the futureDhas now stopped alreadyDIn the hit film The Bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman meet in hospital in California after they have been diagnosed with cancer.
