Most live in Africa, India and
25、 China. They use wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. People having less money use wood
26、 or biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. Its estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at
27、the bottom for the fire and a place on the top to put a pot.In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not efficient. The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire,
28、 and it took much longer to heat food. Since then, they have experimented with countless other designs.Their goal is to make an inexpensive stovelets say five dollarsthat makes little smoke, and its safe for health and reduces global warming and deforestation(采伐森林)Aprovecho has now partnered with a
29、stove manufacturer in China. The company is making Aprovechos first mass produced stoves. They are said to use 40%50% less wood than an open fire, and produce 50%70% less smoke. A company called StoveTec is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than on

31、money use wood or biomass for cooking, 故可排除B选项，煤炭也是需要花钱的，因此最便宜的燃料除了木头就是crop waste, animal waste。57The following sentence is taken from the passage, it should be placed at the end of_.The World Health Organization estimates that over 1,500,000 people a year die from breathing smoke from solid fuels.A
32、. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.答案：A文章结构题。由第一段最后一句“But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.”可知这些燃料会产生很多健康问题甚至造成死亡，而题干中的句子是以具体举例来说明这些燃料的危害的，所以答案选A项。58Stoves designed by the Aprovecho Research Center should be_.luxuriouscostlyefficientlowcarboncleanerA

35、to determine the exact place of each individual room.Based on the request users make (e.g.high or low floor, importance of a view, etc.), room choices are various, each one with a computergenerated, clear image (图像) of the real view.At the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, for example, rooms 1010 and 1410 are
36、both considered Grand Ocean View Double.On Room 77, however, you quickly discover that the former looks right into the Waikiki Police Station; the latter, over the top of it.All Grand Ocean View Doubles, it seems, are not equal.At this point, you can only search within a hotel youve reselected, but,
37、 still, theres no general hotel search feature and theres no guarantee that youll get the exact room youve chosen (although the company is working on both ideas)There is, however, an iPone app, an especially handy tool when a dishonest front desk clerk claims no better rooms are available. “Instead
38、of going upstairs and deciding your rooms not a good match, you can see it for yourself along for choices，” said Fleiss.“Its all at your fingertips.”文章大意：怎样找到物有所值的房间，如何找到适合自己的房间。请登陆。59The underlined part probably means the rooms are_.A.large in size B.badly lightedC.too expensive D.mostly unknown to

Theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have
53、 proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last halfcentury has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planets climate, but the basic science is well unde
54、rstood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket.Of course, the earths climate has always been
55、 changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption(熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a buildup of greenhouse gas in th
56、e atmospherenot the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate
57、 change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be？”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earthsone with human influ
58、ence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 文章大意：全球变暖是不是人类活动的原因？本文进行了探讨。67In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by_.A. solar activity B. volcanic activityC. natural factors D.
