2.A Cool Way to Keep Cool
We all know that foods will easily go bad if they get too warm.So we usually put them into our fridges to keep cool in hot weather.But can you make it without fridges?
In 1995,Abba,a teacher from Nigeria,found a cool way.His invention was called Pot-in-Pot Cooling System.
It uses two clay pots (陶罐).There is a smaller pot inside a lager one.The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand.Fruit,vegetables or drinks can be put into the smaller pot.A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system.Some foods can be kept fresh for several weeks in it.
Abba built five thousand pot-in-pot systems for the villagers in his hometown.Then people all over the country began using the invention.Soon it became popular with farmers in other African countries/
In 2000,Abba got a prize---the Rolex Award.If you are trying to do something to improve human life,you may have the chance to get this prize.

58.A from Nigeria invented the Pot-in-Pot Cooling System.
A.A teacher        B.A cook      C.A scientist       D.A worker
59.In the Pot-in-Pot Cooling System,you should put fruit and drinksD.
A.under the wet sand                B.outside the larger pot
C.between the two pots              D.inside the smaller pot
60.Abba built five thousand pot-in-pot systems to helpC.
A.his family      B.his students     C.the villagers        D.the school
61.Many farmers in African counties used Abba's invention toC.
A.store wet cloth                   B.get warm
C.keep foods fresh                  D.win a prize.

分析 一種制冷的很酷的方式
我們都知道,如果食物太熱會很容易變壞.所以我們通常在炎熱的天氣里把它們放進我們的冰箱里保持涼爽.但你沒有冰箱能做到嗎?
1995年,Abba,一位來自尼日利亞的老師,發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個冷卻的方式.他的發(fā)明被叫做罐罐冷卻系統(tǒng).
它使用了兩個陶罐.在比較大的陶罐里放進了一個比較小的,兩個罐子之間的空隙填滿濕的沙子.水果,蔬菜和飲料可以被放在小罐子里.一塊濕布覆蓋整個冷卻系統(tǒng).有些食物可以保鮮達數(shù)星期.
Abba在他的家鄉(xiāng)為村民建造了五千個罐罐冷卻系統(tǒng),然后整個國家的人都開始使用這個發(fā)明.很快它受到了非洲其他國家農(nóng)民的歡迎.2000年,Abba 獲了獎--勞力士獎.如果你正努力想做些什么來改善人類的生活,你可能有機會得到這個獎.

解答 58.A 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)Abba,a teacher from Nigeria得答案.
59.D 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)Fruit,vegetables or drinks can be put into the smaller pot得答案.

61.C 細節(jié)概括題.根據(jù)Some foods can be kept fresh for several weeks in it得答案.

Like other kinds of grass,a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground,but it will grow back very quickly.A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5meters in 24hours!Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe.There are more than 1,000kinds of bamboo.

In Africa,poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo.These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money,and their fields often die from no rain and no water.Bamboo pipes (管子) help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.
