Bicycles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more fortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.
This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured(had)three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.
Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles.
I see a problem in my country, Renato said. If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights.
Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.
The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine.
You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want, Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.

(答案→)B 
解析:位置介绍了一位16岁得少年自己发明的一种新型自行车。
【小题1】B 推理题。根据第一段后三行you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more fortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.说明我们可以用各种科学的方法提高我们的自行车的用途。
【小题2】B 推理题。根据第二段最后三行the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.用自行车的例子 说明更近的观察我们关心的事物会带来科学研究。
【小题3】C 猜测词义题。The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles.根据横线后面提到的秘鲁的经济困难,那么他想为秘鲁的经济困难做出自己的贡献,为之努力。故C正确。
【小题4】D 细节题。根据第五段最后一句The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets说明A是用途。最后一段第一行You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want说明B是用途。最后一句话the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest. 说明可以发电来照明,故C是用途。D没有提及。。D正确。
【小题5】A 推断题。根据第四段第1,2行If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity和最后一句he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest. 都说明这种自行车可以用于没有电的偏远的热带雨林地区。故A正确。
