What is Machu Picchu？Well，it is the remains of an ancient Inca city.It is on top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River.It is more than 7，000 feet above sea level！
How did we get up that high？We could have hiked the Inca Trail（印加古道）for four days.Instead，we decided to ride the train.It runs right along the river.It takes only a few hours.Our guide was a man from the local area.Not only did he provide information about the area，he also worked as our interpreter.Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua，which of course we don't understand.
As we rode the train，our guide pointed out unknown plants that grow in the rain forest.The plants which grow near the floor of the rain forest，was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911.That was when Hiram Bingham，the man who searched for the city，started his expedition（探险）.We also learned about the animals.There are some dangerous snakes that live there.One bite can kill a person.It must have been quite a journey that Bingham took!
His trip was well worth it，in my opinion.Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful!The stones have gone through the test of time.They have been there since the 1400s.There were terraces（梯田）cut into the sides of the mountain，and green was everywhere.To top it all off，we were in the clouds!

5．（8分）People often say， '"You can't live only on air." But Chinese scientists can now tell you：Maybe you can.
Scientists from Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences succeeded in turning carbon dioxide （CO2），the terrible greenhouse gas，into starch（淀粉）.
Starch is the main part of the flour，rice and corn that we eat every day.It's
created by plants through sunshine.But according to the team's director Ma Yanhe，plants do this in a complex（复杂的）way，which takes about 60 steps．The new study，after six years of hard work，has found a simpler way to do this，with only 11 steps.
"Our study shows that creating compounds（化合物）like starch is possible in a lab，and there are many areas that can get a lot from this technology，Ma told China Daily.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas（H2）into methanol（甲醇）．Then they pieced these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex molecules.Finally the starch came out.
This way makes it possible to produce food in factories，taking the place of traditional farming.This will not only help make plenty of starchy crops such as potatoes，but also save water，land and so on.It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with weather change，according to China Daily.
The study can help astronauts too.Astronauts no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space.They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe into the food they eat!
（1）Compared to the process used by plants，it's 　 　to make starch using CO2.
A．harder
B．easier
C．slower
D．more complex
（2）The starch is compounded in the order of 　 　.
①CO2
②methanol molecules
③starch
④hydrogen gas（H2）
⑤complex molecules
A． B． C． D．
（3）How does the new finding help us？ 　 　
a.It helps protect our environment.
b.It helps save natural wealth.
c.It deals with the food problems of astronauts.
d.It helps people have healthy eating habits.
A．abc
B．abd
C．acd
D．bcd
（4）What's the best title for the passage？ 　 　
A．Astronauts' Food
B．Environmental Protection
C．The Air You Can Eat
D．Complex Way of Food Production
三、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据汉语或首字母提示，写出下列句子中单词的适当形式。
6．（1分）I really want you to help the community and increase your　 　 （知识） of the world．

5．（8分）People often say， '"You can't live only on air." But Chinese scientists can now tell you：Maybe you can.
Scientists from Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences succeeded in turning carbon dioxide （CO2），the terrible greenhouse gas，into starch（淀粉）.
Starch is the main part of the flour，rice and corn that we eat every day.It's
created by plants through sunshine.But according to the team's director Ma Yanhe，plants do this in a complex（复杂的）way，which takes about 60 steps．The new study，after six years of hard work，has found a simpler way to do this，with only 11 steps.
"Our study shows that creating compounds（化合物）like starch is possible in a lab，and there are many areas that can get a lot from this technology，Ma told China Daily.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas（H2）into methanol（甲醇）．Then they pieced these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex molecules.Finally the starch came out.
This way makes it possible to produce food in factories，taking the place of traditional farming.This will not only help make plenty of starchy crops such as potatoes，but also save water，land and so on.It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with weather change，according to China Daily.
The study can help astronauts too.Astronauts no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space.They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe into the food they eat!
