阅读理解A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you bine 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 the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle（回收利用）. Scientists have e up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but over time it can break down（分解） 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 cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the cover 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 producers are under pressure(压力) to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown 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 is released 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 Kirwan, the leader of the research team.1.After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, _______.A.the sunflower seed will e out and flower in the potB.the phone cover will break down very soon in the soilC.it will be recycled by the producersD.it can charge itself with electricity in a green way2.This type of research is done because ________.A.the technology of making phones is changing rapidlyB.too many waste mobile phones may lead to environmental problemsC.nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phonesD.producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy3.We can infer from the story ________.A.the new type of mobile phones are already on the marketB.the new type of mobile phones will sell extremely wellC.the material of the new type of phones is harmfulD.other flowers may be used in the new type of mobile phones4.The best title of this passage is           .A.Recycling our phonesB.The phones that flowerC.A new material for making phonesD.The harm of thrown-away phones
