三、阅读理解
According to UNESCO, many children in villages in some African countries do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their families. And many people in these countries live without electricity (电).
A company is now working to deal with both of these problems. It has built a special solar power station (太阳能电站), which is in the shape of a cow, called “Solar Cow”. The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just like its name, the Solar Cow can charge batteries (给电池充电) called “Solar Milk”. The Solar Milks provide electricity for the families. The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow, so children have to go to school to get the electricity. Every day, children put their batteries into the bottom of their school’s Solar Cow. They go to class while the batteries are being charged. At the end of the day, they take the batteries home.
By the time of the report, the company had set up two Solar Cows in Kenya and one in Tanzania. The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help children in Africa.

四、信息还原
阅读短文，从方框中选出能填入空格处的最佳选项，有一个多余选项。
We sometimes call the lion “the king of the jungle (丛林)”, because it is much stronger than other animals. 1 It is at the top of the food chain on land. Among the
sea animals, the shark is one of the animals at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. 2
Human beings are also in the world’s food chain. 3 We could not run faster than cheetahs (猎豹), but we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, but we invented guns and now we are also among the best hunters.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, people invented some chemicals that could make the air and rivers dirty. 4 Dirty rivers kill fish. The bears cannot eat the fish and they may die. If we kill one part of the food chain, other parts may also die.
Remember that we are also a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! 5 We can and should do something for the world!
A. This can make terrible changes.
B. And it can use its big teeth to eat them.
C. Protecting animals is not that important!
D. Protecting animals is protecting ourselves!
E. We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest.
F. It can run faster than many other animals and it is one of the best hunters.
