A $6 cardboard box that uses solar power to cook food, clean water and could help 3 billion poor people cut greenhouse gases, has won a $75,000 prize for ideas to fight global warming
The Box, named after the United Nations’ Kyoto Protocol that seeks to cut greenhouse gases, is aimed at billions of people who use firewood to cook. It can also make it easier to boil polluted water. The Kenyan-based inventor hopes it can make solar cooking widespread in the developing world, replacing the use of wood which is driving deforestation. Organized by Forum for the Future, the competition aims to support concepts that have “moved off the drawing board and demonstrated their feasibility” for reducing greenhouse gases.
“The Kyoto Box has the potential to transform millions of lives,” said Peter Madden, the forum’s chief executive. The box is made from two cardboard boxes, which use reflective foil（箔）and black paint to maximize absorption of solar energy. Covering the cooking pot with a transparent（透明的）cover keeps heat and water, and temperatures inside the pot can reach at least 80C.
The idea of cooking using the Sun’s rays has been around for centuries, and a number of organizations including Solar Cookers International are already supporting their manufacture and distribution in the developing world. The Kyoto Box also improves the health of villagers who do not have to spend hours taking in wood smoke, a major cause of respiratory disease（呼吸道疾病）.
Many countries are looking for cheap green ways to stimulate economies mired in economic crisis. More than 190 nations have agreed to work out a new U.N. climate pact to succeed Kyoto at a meeting in
66. What’s the main purpose of the Kyoto Box?
A. To warn people of the dangers of global warming.
B. To encourage more villagers to use firewood to cook.

D. To transform the lives of villagers in developing countries.
67. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _________.
A. solar cooking is unlikely to be widespread
B. the invention helps to preserve the forest
C. Kyoto Protocol is mainly about green food
D. greenhouse gases are mainly caused by firewood
68. Which of the following is NOT true about The Kyoto Box?
A. It is convenient and environment-friendly.
B. It does good to the people’s health in rural areas.
C. It makes it possible for more poor people to afford it.
D. It was invented several hundred years ago.
69. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. the cardboard box can be used to cure diseases
B. more nations are interested in the invention
C. black objects readily reflect more light
D. the invention can accelerate economic crisis
70. What would be the best title for the text?

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum woke me up that morning; her voice wasn’t as scratchy as it usually was.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was reluctant (不愿) to leave its warmth and comfort, and reluctant to face the problem that I’d let myself forget for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of bed.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t work, so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I failed, with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was gone. I tried two more times, but didn’t improve much. Then we headed to the test site.
I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes―just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my turn. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some comfort and I realized something: sometime between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside, I had become calmer.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second test next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her smile made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as mine. But, her eyes looked kind of teary, so, I knew she was happy for me.
56. We can infer ______.
A. the writer’s mother might often wakes him up rudely
B. the writer’s mother is always kind to him
C. the writer’s mother hates him
D. never wakes him up in the morning
57. What has the author done probably in the past six months?
A. He has been ill in bed. B. He has been learning to drive.
C. He has prepared to deal with failure. D. He has been looking after his mother.
58. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. As he did well at the beginning of the text, his confidence grew.
B. He didn’t doubt that he could pass the driving test.
C. As soon as he got to the test site, he calmed down.
D. He was happy that he had to come back next Thursday.
59. Which word can be used to describe the writer’s character?
A. Uneasy. B. Unhappy. C. Unconfident. D. Unlucky.

Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.
The first is called the "tank test". Modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would be anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
64. By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out______.
A. the amount of air in the plane B. the strength of the plane structure
C. the pressure inside and outside the plane D. the power of the airplane engines
65. What will happen to the plane under the "tank test"?
A. It will be broken. B. It will be filled with water.
C. It will be made stronger. D. It will be tested by pilot.
66. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?
A. The plane may explode in the air. B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.
C. The engines may be damaged. D. Too much air may get into the plane.
67. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Two Important Tests on Airplanes B. The Importance of Flying Safely
C. The Danger of Testing Airplanes D. How Airplane Are Made and Tested
