【解析】本文讲述的是果皮的废物丰富了土地的土壤,并使森林恢复了生机。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中20 years ago, a couple of ecologists, Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs, convinced Del Oro, a large orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park in exchange for the right to dump (倾倒) massive amounts of orange peels on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park, at no cost. 这些生态学家之所以对Del Oro提出了这个建议是因为它将有助于免费处理橙皮废料。故选B。
29. 词义猜测题。根据第二段中another juice company and rival of Del Oro challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting the national park”.(另一家果汁公司和Del Oro的竞争对手在法庭上挑战了这笔交易,认为他们的竞争对手正在“污染国家公园”) They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.(他们最终赢了,德尔奥罗和国家公园之间的交易告吹了。)由此可知划线词的意思是“未能实现”,故选B。
30. 细节理解题。根据第四段中They found “dramatic differences between the areas covered in orange peels and those that were not. The area fertilized by orange waste had richer soil, greater tree-species richness and greater forest coverage.由此可知,Treuer发现果皮的废物丰富了土地

的土壤。故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后一句Now that Timothy Treuer’s study has received worldwide attention, this type of polluting is being seriously considered as a way of bringing tropical forests back to life.由此可知,本文讲述的是果皮的废物使森林恢复了生机。故选D。
D
The Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem, especially during holidays, when local streets are full of cars. But now it’s changed. The world’s first fully solar-powered train runs on a restored(修复)train line that was out of use for more than a decade.
The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine; the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency. As the train brakes, it generates more electricity, like a hybrid car. At a train station, the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof. If there’s a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply.
“The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service,” says Holmes, development director of the nonprofit Byron Bay Railroad company, which runs the train. With one full charge, the train can make 12 to 15 trips.
Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more riders, which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town. The train fits 100 seated passengers, with room for more to stand, and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards. A ride costs a little more than $2.
The nonprofits thinks it’s a model that could be replicated (复制)elsewhere. “Our service has had no government support or funding at all, but for this to be replicated or improved upon, the key is for government to work with enterprises on the program.” Holmes says. “Our service provides an example of how the sun’s energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions.” 32. Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay?
A. To attract visitors. C. To fight pollution.
B. To reduce traffic. D. To use solar energy.
33. Where does the train get energy on sunless days?
A. From its engines.
B. From a hybrid car.

C. From the platform roof. D. From the local electricity supply. 34. How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment?
A. It is labor-saving. C. It is time-consuming.
B. It is easily operated. D. It is power guaranteed.
35. What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from the last paragraph?
A. It may be popularized in the future.
B. More scientific research should be done about it. C. It could be of little use in solving energy problems. D. Financial support from the government is badly needed. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. A
【解析】本文介绍了世界上首辆全太阳能火车在澳大利亚海边小镇Byron Bay运行,并可以在其它地方得以推广。
32. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段The Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem, especially during holidays, when local streets are full of cars.可知,太阳能火车在Byron Bay小镇的使用改变了交通拥堵的问题。故选B。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段If there’s a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply.可知,在没有阳光期间,太阳能火车可以从当地的电力供应系统得到能源供应。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service可知,火车站站台屋顶的太阳能系统和火车顶部的太阳能系统都可以为火车提供足量的电,从而推断出火车的电量可以得到保证。故选D。
35. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The nonprofits thinks it’s a model that could be replicated (复制)elsewhere.和Our service provides an example of how the sun’s energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions.可以推断出,太阳能火车可以在其它地方得到推广。故选A。 第二节 (共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
