Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons – the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

【小題1】D

【小題2】B

【小題3】D

【小題4】A

【小題5】A

【解析】

試題分析：本文是篇說明文，介紹了一項新發(fā)明。它能夠讓沒有供電的雨林地區(qū)的人們利用豐富的植物資源制造一種新的“植物電燈”。

【小題1】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.可知，油燈不僅貴還會產生有害氣體。故選D。

【小題2】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons土壤里面的微生物吃掉了植物產生的廢物并生成了電子，因此這種植物燈所產生的電來源于植物所產生的廢物。故選B。

【小題3】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies.可知，植物燈生電的材料主要是植物，而植物在雨林地區(qū)很容易找到。故選D。

【小題4】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)從全文最后一句可知該植物燈更多是用于那些沒有供電的地區(qū)，如熱帶雨林。故選A。

【小題5】A寫作意圖題。根據(jù)本文主要介紹了一項新發(fā)明—植物燈。故選A。
