The oldest and most common source (来源) of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere —- from trees and grasses to agricultural and city —- life wastes —-biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide, because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously —-with only as much grown as is used— the “battery” lasts forever.

According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008—-although the numbers aren’t all in yet—-wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.

Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.

1.Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”?

A. It burns simply plant matter.

B. It stores the energy from the sun.

C. It keeps producing electricity.

D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.

2.We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.

A. 0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass

B. biomass might become the main energy source

C. there was a rapid growth of electricity production

D. Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.

3.Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?

A. To save money.

B. To prevent the waste of energy.

C. To reduce pollution.

D. To increase production safety.

4.Where does the text probably come from?

A. A book review. 　 B. A business report.

C. A research plan. D. A science magazine

Beer is one of the world’s most popular drinks. One of beer’s most important ingredients（成分）is water. Beer makers say you need up to five liters（升）of water to make one liter of beer. If water becomes limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater.

They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer.

That is why Stone Beer Company, near San Diego, California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the city’s water by 2035.

Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from wastewater. Wastewater is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets.

Stone is a large beer factory. It has customers across the U.S. and Europe. Some of their beers are among the best in the United States. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded people's reactions as they tasted the beer.

Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success.

The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.

1.Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?

A. To try new sources of water.

B. To make special taste for beer.

C. To reduce the cost of production.

D. To give up pure water in production.

2.What did Stone Beer Company want Pure Water San Diego to do?

A. Help it to develop new kind of beer.

B. Supply the majority of water to the city.

C. Make waste water clean enough to make beer.

D. Deal with its waste water from the beer production process..

3.What do we know about the special beer?

A. It was welcomed by the public.

B. Few people dared to taste it.

C. It will be sold in large quantities.

D. It received great attention from the media.

4.What did Stone Beer Company think of the reports about the beer?

A. They are satisfying.　　 B. They are disappointing.

C. They are surprising.　　 D. They are beneficial.
