[读《从字词学习抵达阅读理解》一文有感]在周一贯先生主编的《小学语文文体教学大观》一书中，我读到了莫国夫的一篇文章，心中颇受触动。文中指出： 小学阅读教学承担着识字学词的功能，同时这又是一个双向互动的过程，即识...+阅读
Sugar Power for Cell Phones
Using enzymes monly found in living cells，a new type of fuel cell produces small amounts of electricity from sugar．If the technology is able to succeed in mass production，you may some day share your sweet drinks with your cell phone．
In fuel cells，chemical reactions generate electrical currents．The process usually relies on precious metals，such as platinum．In living cells，enzymes perform a similar job，breaking down sugars to obtain electrons and produce energy．
When researchers previously used enzymes in fuel cells，they had trouble keeping them active，says Shelley D．Minteer of St Louis University1．Whereas biological cells continually produce fresh enzymes，there’s no mechanism in fuel cells to replace enzymes as they quickly degrade．
Minteer and Tamara Klotzbach，also of St Louis University，he now developed polymers that wrap around an enzyme and preserve it in a microscopic pocket．“We tailor these pockets to provide the ideal microenvironment” for the enzyme，Minteer says．The polymers keep the enzyme active for months instead of days．
In the new fuel Cell，tiny polymer bags of enzyme are embedded in a membrane that coats one of the electrodes．When glucose from a sugary liquid gets into a pocket，the enzyme oxidizes it，releasing electrons and protons．The electrons cross the membrane and enter a wire through which they trel to the other electrode，where they react with．oxygen in the atmosphere to produce water．The flow of electrons through the wire constitutes an electrical current that can generate power．
So far，the new fuel cells don’t produce much power，but the fact that they work at all is exciting，says Paul Kenis，a chemical engineer at the University of Illinois2 at Urhana-Champaign3．“Just getting it to work．” Kenis says，“is a major acplishment．”
Sugar-eating fuel cells could be an efficient way to make electricity．Sugar is easy to find． And the new fuel cells that run on it are biodegradable，so the technology wouldn’t hurt the environment．The scientists are now trying to use different enzymes that will get more power from sugar．They predict that popular products may be using the new technology in as little as 3 years．

C Their limited power generation capacity is the result of great efforts．
D Their limitless power generation capacity is a major acplishment,
5． According to the last paragraph，what is NOT true of the new fuel cells?
A The new fuel cells run on sugar that is easy to find．
B The new fuel cells are environment friendly．
C The new fuel cells are biologically degradable,
D It will take some time before the new fuel cells can be used in popularproducts．
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 perates 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
