That depends. If y

28、ou hate people throwing things on the ground, you might think, That person should not litter. If you are a smoker, you might think, I would sure like a cigarette right now, Most likely, though, you are not thinking, You know, that unused cigarette butt could be used to make something, somethingamazi

29、ng!如果你看到一个人不经意地扔了一个烟头，你会怎么想呢？那可真是仁者见仁，智者见智。如果你讨厌随地乱扔东西，你可能会想：那个 人不应该乱丢垃圾。但如果你是烟民，你可能会想：我现在真想来一根。不过，大多数情况下，你可能不会想：你要知道，这没用的烟头 很有可能被用来制成某种非常神奇的东西。That is, unless you are a creative scientist. If you are, you may see a possibility where others simply see trash. That is just what has happened in South K

30、orea. The spirit of invention can hit at the strangest times and in the most unusual places. In South Korea, it happened near a trash can.事实是这样的.除非你是一个有创造力的科学家，如果你是，你就可能从别人眼里的垃圾中看出可能性。这正是在韩国发生的情况。发明 创造的灵光常常出现在最奇异的时刻以及最不寻常的地方。在韩国，它就出现在垃圾桶旁边。Kim Gil-Pyo is with Seoul National University. Mr. Kim says

31、he saw people throwing away cigarette butts. And that got him thinking. He began wondering if something useful could be made from them. The result? Mr.Kim and other researchers found a way to turn cigarette butts into the materials required for high-performance batteries. We often say, “ One persons

32、 trash is another persons treasure. And in this example, this is unquestionably true.金吉彪就职于首尔国立大学。金先生表示，他看到人们扔烟头，这给了他灵感，他开始设想.如果一些有用的东西可以从烟头里获得的话， 会是什么样的结果呢？金先生和其他研究人员发现了一种能将烟头转化成高性能电池所需材料的方法。我们常说：“一个人的垃圾是另一 个人的财富在这个例子中，这无疑是正确的.Kim Gil-Pyo says he and his fellow researchers looked closely at used ci

33、garette filters. The filter is the part of the cigarette that smokers put into their mouths. Mr. Kim explains that the filters can be made into another material: carbon. He says the filters are changed through a one- step burning process. After this, he says, they are turned into an energy storage m

34、aterial.据金吉彪说，他和研究团队的成员们仔细观察了已抽过的香烟过滤嘴，过滤嘴是吸烟者放进嘴里的部分。金先生解释说，过滤嘴可变成另 一种材料：碳。他说，过滤嘴只需通过燃烧这一个步骤就可发生改变.并被转换为储能材料。Carbon has many qualities that seem to make it the perfect material. Carbon can easily carry an electrical current. It also stays stable, unlikely to change, for a long time. And carbon does

35、 not cost a lot. All these qualities make it the most popular material for making super-capacitors. 碳的许多优点似乎能使其成为最完美的材料。碳可以轻松地传导电流，同时也很稳定，在很长的一段时间内不会发生改变，而且成本极低。 所有的这些优点使碳成为制造超级电容器最常用的材料。Super-capacitors are good at storing energy. They have high-powered mass. They require only a short time for re-c

36、harging. And they have a long lifecycle. Super-capacitors are used in products such as laptop computers and cell phones. They are also used in industrial energy converters, like wind turbine machines. Combining carbon and super-capacitors seems like a perfect marriage.超级电容器能极好地储存能量。它们有很高的功率密度，仅需极短的时

37、间充电，有很长的使用寿命。超级电容器可用在笔记本电脑和手机 这样的产品中，还可用在风力发电机这样的工业能源转换器中。碳和超级电容器的结合似乎非常完美。Mr. Kim says that cigarette butts could affect the economy in a huge way. They could prove to be a low-cost source of carbon material. They are so cheap that smokers throw them on the ground, and you dont get much cheaper tha

38、n that.金先生表示，烟头可能会对经济产生极大的影响。它们有可能被证明是一种低成本的碳源物质。它们如此便宜，以至于被吸烟者扔到地上， 而你再也找不到比这更便宜的东西了 ,答案ACCC读完前面的短文，告诉我下面这些题的答案吧。l.Whats peoples usual reaction when they see a person throw a cigarette butt?A.lt varies.B.He is to blame.C.lt causes them to smoke.2.Filters can be made into a material that.A.is used a

39、s the battery surfaceB.can be turned into electricityC.can hold electricity energy well3.Super-capacitors made from carbon.A.need quite a long time to rechargeB.are comparatively very expensiveC.can easily carry an electrical current4.The story tells the readers the truth thatA.where there is a will

40、, there is a wayB.the most useless is usually the most usefulC.one persons trash is another persons treasure练习17Growing Vegetables in Sea Water海水种菜Climate change has caused a rise in sea levels. This has increased the amount of salt in fresh water used on coastal farms. As a result, farmers are incr

41、easingly unable to use fields close to the sea.气候变化会导致海平面上升，这就导致沿海农场使用的淡水的含盐量增加，结果农户们越发难以利用沿海农田。Scientists call this process salinization which means the mixing of salt and water. Salinization is reducing the worlds irrigated lands by 1 to 2 percent every year.科学家称这一过程为“盐碱化”,也就是盐和水的混合，盐碱化使得全世界可灌溉土地每

42、年减少1%-器。But a farmer in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables. Marc Van started with an experiment.但荷兰的一个农民现在使用海水和淡水的混合物来种植健康美味的蔬菜。马克范开始了这个试验。We put in a lot of plants in the fields and then we put them in fresh water and in sea water and

43、all the varieties between them, and then we see which variety is surviving and which variety is dying.“我们把很多作物种在田里，然后把它们分别放到海水、淡水以及各种比例的淡水和海水的混合物当中.看哪种能存活下来，哪种会死掉。” Mr. Van worked on the project with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam. He divided a farm into eight areas. Separate pipes

44、 pumped fresh and sea water, and a computer program created water with eight levels of salinity.范先生和阿姆斯特丹自由大学的几位科学家一起进行这个项目的研究.他把农场分为8个区域，用不同的管道来输送淡水和海水，并用电 脑程序生成8种不同浓度的盐水。Computerized measuring devices called “ sensors controlled the water levels and the levels of salinity. Mr. Van says he was able

45、 to harvest vegetables from most of the eight test areas. He says the vegetables were smaller than those grown in fresh water. But he says they also have more sugar and salt, so they taste better.名为“传感器”的电脑测量装置控制水位和盐度。范先生表示，8个实验区域大都能收获蔬菜，这样种植出的蔬菜比在淡水中种植出的蔬 菜个头要小些。不过，他也说，因为这种蔬菜含有更多的糖分和盐分，所以口感更好。The f

46、armer grew carrots, cabbage and onions. But he found that potatoes grew better than the other vegetables in the combination of sea and fresh water. Mr. Van says four kinds of these potatoes were recently sent to Pakistan, where thousands of hectares of land have been damaged by salinization. Farmers

47、 in Pakistan will test these potatoes to see if they can be grown in those fields.这位农民种植胡萝卜、大白菜、洋葱。不过，他发现,在海水和淡水的混合物中，土豆比其他蔬菜长得更好,范先生说，其中的4种土豆 最近被送到巴基斯坦，那里有数千公顷土地被盐碱化，巴基斯坦的农民将用这些土豆来做实验，看它们是否能在本国土地上生长C 答案TTFFF听完了故事，咱们来看看你对它了解了多少，快来辨别下真假。l.The farmers are increasingly unable to use fields close to the

48、 sea because of climate change.2.Salinization means a mixture of salt and water.3 .Marc Van is now using sea water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables.4 .A computer program named sensors keeps the same salinity in eight testing areas.5 .The vegetables from the test areas were stronger than those grown in fresh water. 练习18Jeff is talking about his first business trip next week, and Mary wishes him good luck.杰夫在谈论他下周的第一次商务旅行。玛丽希望他一切顺利。M: What do you plan to do for your
