3 . In an effort to create more environmentally-friendly vacations, Norwegian cruise operator (挪威邮轮公司) Hurtig-ruten is making a plan to power its ships using dead fish, which will come from Norway’s good fishing industry, to make shipping less wasteful.
So how do dead fish get transformed into fuel? Organic waste of any kind can be mixed to produce a type of fuel known as biogas (沼气), which can give off a bad egg smell. It’s not a particularly attractive process, but don’t worry: those smells won’t be given off from your cruise ship’s exhaust (排气管). The raw materials in the biogas can be cleaned, which creates liquid biogas.
“What others see as a problem, we see as a resource and a solution,” said Daniel Skjeldam, Hurtigruten chief executive. “By introducing biogas as fuel for cruise ships, Hurtigruten will be the first cruise company to power ships with fossil-free (无化石的) fuel.”
Biogas is certainly cleaner than heavy oil, but it’s not exactly carbon-free. So while the plan might be a creative way of making use of organic waste, as well as helping to get rid of fossil fuels, it’s not a perfect solution. However, it’s at least a step in a better direction. And the company will also be stopping single-use plastics on its 17 cruise ships. It’s good to see change happening in a dirty industry.
1. What does the underlined word “transformed” in Paragraph 2 mean?| A．Adjusted. | B．Divided. | C．Absorbed. | D．Changed. |
| A．Bioga si ssmellier than heavy oil. |
| B．The making of biogas is costly. |
| C．The raw materials are not enough to cover the needs. |
| D．Biogas burning produces chemicals containing carbon. |
| A．It will be of some help. |
| B．Itis all talk. |
| C．It is useless. |
| D．It will cause a debate. |
| A．Smelly biogas has caused new problems |
| B．Norway’s fishing industry meets a challenge |
| C．Dead fish will soon make power |
| D．Hurtigruten points out the world resource issue |

5 . In an effort to discourage people from using plastics, scientists have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging products. From water bottles made from seaweed to cutlery(餐具) made from rice and wheat, a number of inventions are set to change the way we eat while we are on the go, or having a relaxing picnic in the park.
The idea of using seaweed to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recently, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.
The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world, It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down, and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it.
Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to buy. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be made at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipes?
1. Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?| A．To make people's life more convenient. |
| B．To show off their inventive talents. |
| C．To change the way we picnic outside. |
| D．To reduce the amount of plastic waste. |
| A．They can be made at home. |
| B．They are cheap to produce and buy. |
| C．They will hold their shape when they are filled. |
| D．They will break down themselves when empty. |
| A．They are convenient to carry. |
| B．They are safe to eat. |
| C．They can be used for a short time. |
| D．They are heavier than plastics. |
| A．Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular. |
| B．Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near future. |
| C．No recycling companies can break down plastic waste. |
| D．It’s unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home. |
