答案与题解:
1. C A和D明显不是正确答案。B不是正确选择,因为只有当这种新的燃料电池被大规模生产时,才有可能实现用甜饮料给手机提供电能。
2. A 文章第三段的第一句是问题的答案。
3. C 该段第二句“When glucose from a sugary liquid penetrates a pocket,the enzyme oxidizes it,releasing electrons and proton”中的it指代glucose,而不是a sugary liquid,因 此C是正确选择。
4. B 第六段的大意是,尽管这种新型燃料电池还不能产牛很多电能,但是,它能够产生电能的事实就已经是很大的成就了。因而激动人心。所以只有B是正确答案。
5. D 文章的最后一段指出了这种新型燃料电池的优点,即A、B、C所述内容。最后一句说,科学家预计,在不到三年的时间里这种新技术便可在大众的流行产品中使用。所以D是正确选择。
