Sugar Power for Cell Phones Using enzymes commonly 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. 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,theres no mechanism in fuel cells to replace enzymes as they quickly degrade. 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 travel 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. 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 wouldnt 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. 1. According to the first paragraph,when can we share our sweet drinks with our cell phones? B When the technology of producing a new type of fuel cell appears. D When the technology of mass producing cell phones appears. A They had trouble keeping enzymes in fuel cells active. C They had trouble producing fresh enzymes. 3. According to Paragraph 5,electrons are released B when glucose from a sugary liquid goes through the enzyme. a pocket. 4. What is exciting about the new fuel cells? B Their limited power generation capacity is a good beginning. D Their limitless power generation capacity is a major accomplishment, A The new fuel cells run on sugar that is easy to find. C The new fuel cells are biologically degradable, 答案与题解: 2. A 文章第三段的第一句是问题的答案。 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。
