In primitive times they did not t
18、ravel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone
19、 clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together. Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel ac

26、wo days before, Mr. Green was very worried. Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour.

This is because there is no wood in the stem(树干)rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close togethe
34、r, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air. Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfall doesnt supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds (杂草) and grass. About nine or
35、 ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk (茎) , which grows from the base up through the center of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows downward. Bananas reall
36、y grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they point downward, but as they grow they turn and point upward. Bananas are harvested while they are still green.

These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to sol
40、ve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbag
41、e can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Eu
42、rope and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys g
43、arbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduc
44、e the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.（分数：8.00）(1).What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?（分数：2.00）A.The shortage of energy and air pollution.B.The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C.Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D.Air pollution and the shortage of
