Reducing fd waste is easy — just ask the students at a schl in Wd bridge, America, wh have becme experts at srting their lunchtime trash (垃圾). Since the fall f 2019, they have actively participated in a successful fd-waste diversin prgram that nt nly saves mney but als cntributes t reducing the amunt f trash that heads t landfills.
Actually, this prgram plays a crucial rle in facing up t the challenges f climate change. By reducing fd waste,the schl minimizes the amunt f trash sent t landfills, thereby reducing harmful methane emissins (沼气排放). The schl’s prgram is making a significant impact. Each mnth, it mves ver 1,300 punds f fd waste, resulting in an estimated reductin f 772 punds in CO, emissins and the prductin f 180 kilwatt-hurs f energy, accrding t Blue Earth Cmpst in America.
At schl, when students are dne eating lunch, they head t an appinted sectin — a rw f desks, garbage cans and cntainers — where they srt their trash. Leftver liquids, such as juice r milk,are emptied int a big basin n the flr. The juice cntainers and plastic water bttles are placed int anther cntainer t recycle. Additinally, prepackaged, unpened snacks such as bags f carrts as well as prduce such as apples and bananas are “rescued” and placed int a big basket with a handwritten “Dnatins” sign taped t it t send t the twn’s senir center.
The benefits extend beynd envirnmental awareness. The prgram reduces trash-carrying csts as less weight ges int the trash bins,making it easier fr cleaners t manage. The students als find this planet-friendly practice enjyable and meaningful, cnsidering it a small game that cntributes t a bigger cause. This initiative prves that cllective effrts, even n a smaller scale, can lead t significant changes, nt nly in waste reductin but als in educating a generatin cmmitted t preserving ur planet.
8. What des the fd-waste reductin prgram fcus n at the schl in Wd bridge?
A. Saving schl fd.
B. Dnating unpened snacks.
C. Fertilizing the schl’s garden.
D. Minimizing harmful gases emissins.
9. What is the impact f reducing methane emissins accrding t the text?
A. It leads t fd cst reducing.
B. It helps with energy prductin.
C. It imprves waste management.
D. It addresses climate change effectively.
10. What des the underlined wrd “rescued” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Saved.B. Frzen.C. Abandned.D. Repurpsed
11. What message des the text cnvey abut the prgram?
A. It is cstly but highly effective.
B. It is easy t perfrm and cst-saving.
C. It is expensive and difficult t apply.
D. It is nly accessible in large cmpanies.
D
Scientists at the University f Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way t make electricity. Their methd uses super-tiny hles t make electricity frm misture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hpe the methd will ne day lead t cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Misture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water drplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In cluds, these water drplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One f the researchers, Jun Ya, described the new inventin as a “small-scale, man-made clud”. Since the new device generates electricity frm the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”.
Currently, the device nly makes a small amunt f electricity- enugh t pwer a small sensr. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, prduced electricity all day and all night fr a week, pwered by nthing but the air.
The scientists have tried t make electricity frm humidity befre, but thse methds didn’t wrk fr lng, r were expensive t make. But in 2020, Dr Ya and his team fund a way f getting electricity frm humidity using special “nanwires” made frm bacteria. That research led the scientists t the key discvery f the Air-gen: almst any material can create electricity in this way as lng as it has nanpres (纳米孔) f the right size. This is imprtant because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hpe that the Air-gen will becme an imprtant green energy surce.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But sme scientists have suggested that it might be hard fr the Air-gen t create enugh electricity t really make a difference especially cmpared t pwer surces like slar energy. But Dr Ya and his team are wrking n ways t make the Air-gen technlgy mre pwerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers culd be piled n tp f each ther t create mre electricity withut taking up mre space.
12. The Air-gen is invented ________.
A. t cllect water drplets in the air.B. t generate electricity frm bacteria.
C. t create a small-scale artificial clud.D. t prduce electricity frm misture.
13. Hw des the Air-gen device generate electricity?
A. By using large charges in lightening.B. By changing sunlight int electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water drplets.D. By turning water int a usable energy surce.
14 What is ne ptential cncern raised by scientists abut the Air-gen?
A. It might nt prduce enugh electricity.B. It has a negative impact n the envirnment.
C. It requires expensive materials t manufacture.D. It is less reliable than traditinal pwer surces.
15. What’s the best title fr the text?
A. Inventing the Air-gen.B. Creating electricity frm the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made clud.D. Lking fr green energy surce.

Reducing fd waste is easy — just ask the students at a schl in Wd bridge, America, wh have becme experts at srting their lunchtime trash (垃圾). Since the fall f 2019, they have actively participated in a successful fd-waste diversin prgram that nt nly saves mney but als cntributes t reducing the amunt f trash that heads t landfills.
Actually, this prgram plays a crucial rle in facing up t the challenges f climate change. By reducing fd waste,the schl minimizes the amunt f trash sent t landfills, thereby reducing harmful methane emissins (沼气排放). The schl’s prgram is making a significant impact. Each mnth, it mves ver 1,300 punds f fd waste, resulting in an estimated reductin f 772 punds in CO, emissins and the prductin f 180 kilwatt-hurs f energy, accrding t Blue Earth Cmpst in America.
At schl, when students are dne eating lunch, they head t an appinted sectin — a rw f desks, garbage cans and cntainers — where they srt their trash. Leftver liquids, such as juice r milk,are emptied int a big basin n the flr. The juice cntainers and plastic water bttles are placed int anther cntainer t recycle. Additinally, prepackaged, unpened snacks such as bags f carrts as well as prduce such as apples and bananas are “rescued” and placed int a big basket with a handwritten “Dnatins” sign taped t it t send t the twn’s senir center.
The benefits extend beynd envirnmental awareness. The prgram reduces trash-carrying csts as less weight ges int the trash bins,making it easier fr cleaners t manage. The students als find this planet-friendly practice enjyable and meaningful, cnsidering it a small game that cntributes t a bigger cause. This initiative prves that cllective effrts, even n a smaller scale, can lead t significant changes, nt nly in waste reductin but als in educating a generatin cmmitted t preserving ur planet.
8. What des the fd-waste reductin prgram fcus n at the schl in Wd bridge?
A. Saving schl fd.
B. Dnating unpened snacks.
C. Fertilizing the schl’s garden.
D. Minimizing harmful gases emissins.
9. What is the impact f reducing methane emissins accrding t the text?
A. It leads t fd cst reducing.
B. It helps with energy prductin.
C. It imprves waste management.
D. It addresses climate change effectively.
10. What des the underlined wrd “rescued” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Saved.B. Frzen.C. Abandned.D. Repurpsed
11. What message des the text cnvey abut the prgram?
A. It is cstly but highly effective.
B. It is easy t perfrm and cst-saving.
C. It is expensive and difficult t apply.
D. It is nly accessible in large cmpanies.
D
Scientists at the University f Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way t make electricity. Their methd uses super-tiny hles t make electricity frm misture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hpe the methd will ne day lead t cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Misture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water drplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In cluds, these water drplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One f the researchers, Jun Ya, described the new inventin as a “small-scale, man-made clud”. Since the new device generates electricity frm the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”.
Currently, the device nly makes a small amunt f electricity- enugh t pwer a small sensr. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, prduced electricity all day and all night fr a week, pwered by nthing but the air.
The scientists have tried t make electricity frm humidity befre, but thse methds didn’t wrk fr lng, r were expensive t make. But in 2020, Dr Ya and his team fund a way f getting electricity frm humidity using special “nanwires” made frm bacteria. That research led the scientists t the key discvery f the Air-gen: almst any material can create electricity in this way as lng as it has nanpres (纳米孔) f the right size. This is imprtant because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hpe that the Air-gen will becme an imprtant green energy surce.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But sme scientists have suggested that it might be hard fr the Air-gen t create enugh electricity t really make a difference especially cmpared t pwer surces like slar energy. But Dr Ya and his team are wrking n ways t make the Air-gen technlgy mre pwerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers culd be piled n tp f each ther t create mre electricity withut taking up mre space.
12. The Air-gen is invented ________.
A. t cllect water drplets in the air.B. t generate electricity frm bacteria.
C. t create a small-scale artificial clud.D. t prduce electricity frm misture.
13. Hw des the Air-gen device generate electricity?
A. By using large charges in lightening.B. By changing sunlight int electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water drplets.D. By turning water int a usable energy surce.
14 What is ne ptential cncern raised by scientists abut the Air-gen?
A. It might nt prduce enugh electricity.B. It has a negative impact n the envirnment.
C. It requires expensive materials t manufacture.D. It is less reliable than traditinal pwer surces.
15. What’s the best title fr the text?
A. Inventing the Air-gen.B. Creating electricity frm the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made clud.D. Lking fr green energy surce.
