第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
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 a 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 is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is throw n 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 throw n 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 comes out 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 Kirw an. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warw ick in Britain.
1、What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B．To discuss the development of the cell phone technology.
C．To persuade the readers to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
D．To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to readers.
2、Which of the following is TRUE about the cover of the new type of phone?
A．It can turn into useful fertilizer for the sunflower seeds.
B．It can hardly serve as the storage for the sunflower seed.
C．It may give out poisonous chemicals when breaking down.
D．It may make the seed grow after the phone is throw n away.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The new type of mobile phone will sell extremely well.
B．The new type of mobile phone is already on the market.
C．Other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phone.
D．Mobile phone is increasingly important to the environment.
4、The most suitable title for this passage might be “ ”.
A．Design a Phone B．Help the Sunflower to grow
C．Protec t Our Environment D．Plant Your Phone

The Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, is one of the most brilliant structures on Earth. It is nearly 400 years old. Emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his wife. It took about 2 years to build the monument. Some 2,000 workers and 1,000 elephants helped get the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a symbol of cultural history. It’s also India’s most famous tourist attraction. About 8 million people visit it each year.

In the 190s, India’s Supreme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From time to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal.
