A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?
As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable（生物所能分解的） mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft and able to change shape. Overtime, if can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover tums into waste, it forms nitrates. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent window to hold the seed. They have made sure ?it only grows when the phone is thrown away.
“We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time, "said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them.
Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists.
“The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don' t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it " said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team. which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.
69. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. a botanical experiment ?B. a communications device
C. a scientific research ????D. an environmental problem
70. The main purpose of the biodegradable mobile phone is to ______.
A. encourage people to change their mobile phones
B. solve all the environmental problems mobile phones create
C. help consumers learn some botanical ?knowledge
D. encourage people to recycle when they throw away old mobile phones
71.The underlined world"toxic"probably means “________.”
-
Poisonous ?B. tiny ??C. beneficial ?D. unavoidable
72. Which of the following factors has nothing to do with enabling people to plant their mobile phones?
A. A new type of mobile phone ?B. A phone cover made of new material
C. A seed placed into the cover ?D. Manufacturers' advice
73. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The seed will not grow when the mobile phone is still in use.
B. Manufacturers of mobile phones are supposed to find ways of recycling mobile phones they produce.
C. The new type of material,when buried,will turn into nitrates which make the flower grow.
D. With the newly-developed material, there will be no more environmental problems resulting from the mobile phones.

D. Answer the questions.(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題) ：（共12分）
?
When Jan and Brian Dutcher moved to San Diego for Brian’s new job at San Diego State University, the neighbors smiled and introduced themselves. But there were no “ bring a plate” invitations, no car pooling for her daughters Liza, 12 and Erin, 15.
?“The family really didn’t know each other, and we missed that,” says Jan. “We are far from relatives. Neighbors are our family.”
??So Jan, an artist, decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza’s fifth-grade class: ask each person to paint his or her face on a big canvas(帆布). The finished piece would become the new family photo.
?First , Jan painted a grid(網(wǎng)格) on the canvas and put it up in the garage with a table of paints nearby. Then whenever she was home, the “art room” door was up , with an open invitation for neighbors to paint. The first to stop in were kids riding by. “They thought it was cool,” says Jan, but the adults weren’t so keen. “ Most said they hadn’t picked up a paint brush since kindergarten,” she says. “They were afraid they’d mess it up.” But as word slowly spread, they came, some using their driver’s license photos as models.
???Then something started to happen. They returned ---to see who had painted, or if they could recognize who was who. In Jan’s garage, they began to chat about schools, jobs, and families. Almost daily. Wendy, who lived across the street and was seriously ill, came in her wheelchair to watch the fun. Neighbors began to offer their support.
?When the worst things happened and Wendy died, they stood by her husband, Bill and invited him over for dinners.
?This year has been different in the neighborhood. Families take turns hosting happy hours. “We ‘re watching over each other now just like in the painting.” says Jan.
