24、eople are doing their best to develop electric or solar cars. But what about a truck that runs on the energy of the past? An American teacher is determined to make a truck that is powered by wood. Rick Bates came up with this idea from a war movie he saw as a child in which there was a wood-gas powe
25、red bus. Bates always wondered if he could turn his idea into reality, but never did anything about it until he lost his job. He said, “Wood was used widely in Europe during and before World War II as a main form of fuel. It s actually an old technology which has been forgotten.” Bates idea is calle
26、d wood-gas. Wood heated at high temperatures without enough oxygen cannot burn completely. Instead, it creates gases that can be used to power engines. He tried out his idea with an old truck and it turned out to be a success It worked almost as well as a gas-powered one. And it has other advantages
27、. An 18-kilogram bag of wood can be bought for about $3 and is good for 52 kilometers. It is less expensive than gas, and more environmentally-friendly. He said, “You can grow a tree in 30 years, but coal and oil need thousands of years to form.”Trees are just the beginning. Bates hopes to someday c

32、ironmental problems have been caused by this, including air and water pollution, destruction of the natural environment, global a warming, and a great deal of waste. Environmental protection is an important task not only for Japan but also for the whole world. Led by the Japanese government, Japanes
33、e people are making great efforts for environmental protection.The price of the convenience of modem life is the generation of a lot of waste.

38、an.C. Protecting the environment. D. Global warming.D Chinese archaeologists believe they have discovered a 2,400-year-old bowl of soup that is still in liquid form. The find was dug up from a tomb near the ancient capital of Xian. It was sealed in a three-legged bronze cooking pot 8 inches high by
39、10 inches wide that would have been used for cooking and serving meat. Archaeologists said the soup, which contained several bones, was still liquid but had turned green due to the oxidisation (氧化作用) of the bronze. It is because the tomb was so tightly sealed that the liquid did not evaporate. Liu D
40、aiyun, of the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology, said, “Its the first discovery of bone soup in Chinese archaeological history. The discovery will play an important role in studying the eating habits and culture of the Warring States Period.” That period ran from 475 to 221 BC and it was a
41、time when warlords (军阀) took over small states to build up their power base. The pot has now been sent away so that researchers can analyse its contents.

46、y used in ancient China B.

47、 not slaves but paid laborers. The tombs date back to the countrys fourth dynasty, between 2575 BC and 2467 BC. It was during this time that the great pyramids were built. In fact, the thousands of men who built the wonder regularly worked three-mouth rotating shifts (轮休). They were given the honor
48、of being buried in mud brick tombs within the shadow of the pyramids that they worked on. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus once described the pyramid builders as slaves. This created what Egyptologists say is a legend later spread by Hollywood films. Graves (坟墓) belonging to workers who built t
49、he pyramids were first discovered in the area in 1990. However, further discoveries showed the workers were paid laborers rather than slaves. “These tombs were built beside the kings pyramid, which indicates that these people werent slaves. If they were slaves they would not have been able to build
50、their tombs beside their Kings,” said Zahi Hawass, head of Egypts Supreme Council of Antiquities. The workers tombs of this era were usually conical (圆锥形的) in shape and made using mud bricks. They would then be covered with white plaster(石膏), probably imitating the nearby limestone-covered (石灰石覆盖的)
51、pyramids of the Kings, the archaeologists say. The most important aspect of the new discoveries was a tomb belonging -to a man named Idu. It was a regular structure with a piaster-covered mud brick casing. “It is important to find tombs that belong to lower class people that are not made out of ston
