Olive (橄榄) il has been a staple f kitchens wrldwide fr thusands f years.
Accrding t Reuters, Spain is the largest prducer f live il in the wrld. All that live il makes fr a lt f byprducts. The cuntry is left with ver 400,000 tns f live pits a year. Luckily, thse pits aren’t wasted. Instead, they are turned int a bifuel. “Olives are like pigs: Nthing ges t waste,” Pabl Rder, a prject manager at Avebim, a Spanish bimass assciatin, tld Reuters.
The push t use live pits fr energy came due t the pr crp yields and struggles f the live il industry ver the last few years. Olive il prducers were lking fr new ways t maximize the vlume f the lives they grw. Nw, the live-pit-based fuel supplies energy t hme bilers, industrial bilers, and mre thrughut the cuntry.
Olive pits have als fueled airplanes. In Nvember f 2022, the Olive Oil Times reprted, the bifuel frm live pits was used t fuel 200 airplanes that flew ut f Seville Airprt. Cepsa, nw called Meveglbal, the bifuel prducer that prvided the aviatin (飞行) fuel, said that it saved 200 tns f carbn dixide emissins (排放) by using the bifuel.
Thugh envirnmental rganizatins like Greenpeace Spain say that bifuel shuld cme secnd t electricity when it cmes t clean energy, it is still preferable. This means that many energy cmpanies, like Meveglbal, have fund it sensible t invest time, energy, and mney int varius bifuels, including the live pit fuel.
The idea f using every bit f a prduct, whether a fd prduct r therwise, is part f a grwing trend where humanity has cme t realize their impact n the envirnment arund them. This speaks t the idea that resurces are limited and it depends n peple t think creatively abut the ways in which they can reduce waste.
8. Why did live il prducers hpe t use live pits fr energy?
A. T make full use f the crp.B. T reduce energy cnsumptin.
C. T cntrl carbn emissins.D. T supprt lcal agriculture.
9. What can be learned abut bifuels?
A. They imprve fuel efficiency.B. They are supprted by the gvernment.
C. They rank first as clean energy.D. They are ec-friendly.
10. What attitude d energy cmpanies hld twards bifuels?
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.C. Favrable.D. Dismissive.
11 What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Future f BifuelsB. Olive Pits: Frm Waste t Energy
C. Spain’s Olive Oil CrisisD. Bifuels: A Challenge t Electricity

Fllwing its mve int pdcasting (播客) tw years ag, streaming platfrm Sptify started an audibk (有声书) business. Thugh it has yet t start making its wn recrdings, last autumn it made a deal fr 200,000 audibks t be available t its VIP users.
Nt t be beaten, Amazn-wned Audible, which had been used t being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning directr Sam Mendes t recrd multi-vice versins (版本 ) f Dickens’ nvels Oliver Twist and David Cpperfield, and annuncing last mnth that it had reached an agreement fr a recrding f J. K. Rwling’s Harry Ptter series, viced by mre than 100 actrs and featuring a “grundbreaking new sundscape”.
Dramatised audibks are nt an entirely new phenmenn. The use f multiple vices made them accessible t readers wh might nt have had the patience fr the written versins. Fr example, Gerge Saunders’s Lincln in the Bard, which surrunded the dead sn f Abraham Lincln with a grup f spirit vices, became a great game f “spt the big name”.
Even single-vice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyprt, is a case in pint: a thusand-page stream f an Ohi wman’s thughts, written in a single sentence. It unflds n audi as a 45-hur mnlgue (独白), which is nt the same thing at all, if nly because an actr needs t breathe.
T say that audi versins are different des nt mean they are nt as gd as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shwn that they excite the same parts f the brain. Additinally, listening t stries makes hearts beat strnger than watching them, accrding t a latest study. Fr peple with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be fr thse wh d nt have time fr, r the habit f, reading bks.
S while we celebrate what audibks have in cmmn with their printed versins — bth enable the brain t create its wn pictures in a wrld where pre-prduced images t ften d all the wrk fr us — we shuld als recgnize that they are translatins int a different medium, even when read by the authrs themselves. What is certain is that there is rm fr bth.
12. What strategy did Audible use t maintain its market leader psitin?
A. Creating its wn prize-winning audibk cntent.
B. Fcusing n single-vice audibk prductins.
C. Offering lw-priced audibks t its new custmers.
D. Inviting a well-knwn directr t recrd classic nvels.
13. Hw des the authr present the effects f different versins f audibks?
A. By giving examples.B. By sharing readers’ experiences.
C. By presenting data.D. By referring t experts’ wrds.
14. What is the purpse f the last but ne paragraph?
A. T shw the advantages f audibks.
B. T cmpare audibks with printed texts.
C. T infrm readers f findings abut audibks.
D. T stress audibks’ value in treating dyslexia.
15. What is the authr’s view n the future f audibks and printed texts?
A. It depends n the chices f readers.
B. Bth f them hld the future f reading.
C. Audibk ppularity is nt expected t last.
D. Audibks will eventually replace printed texts.
