When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plan

18、t pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable (生物可降解的 ) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but ov

19、ertime it can break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐 ). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “Weve only p

20、ut sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” said one scientist. As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means produce

26、】 D【小题 1】 B Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the citys parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles.

27、It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park. The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in Februar

28、y. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars. By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. Downtown

29、 Shanghai is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesnt provide an ideal solution. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nea

30、rby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especial

34、ly well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has ma

35、ny translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general id

36、ea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables, they always use a dictionary. Also, if the

41、 1】 D【小题 1】 C Looking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made.

43、y of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects. I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my passion has led me into varied explorations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples obs

44、ervations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. But curiosity, a keen （敏锐的） eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be mad

46、amily 【小题 2】 The writer cant clearly remember his relatives probably because . A he didnt live very long with them B the family was very large C he was too young when he lived with them D he devoted himself to observing nature 【小题 3】 It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was . A a scie

47、ntist as well as a naturalist B not a naturalist but a scientist C only a born naturalist D first of all a scientist 【小题 4】 According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be .

48、883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a great bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge building experts thought that this was an impossible project and told Roebling to forget it. But Roebling could not ignore the vision of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an engineer, that the bridge could be built. The father and son developed concepts of how it could be completed and how the difficulties could be overcome. After that, they began to bu
