Fuel for Tomorrow
Can cars run without gasoline(汽油)？A fuel(燃料) is a substance(物质) that can be burned to make energy. Today, gasoline is used as a fuel for cars and planes. Tomorrow, we may use different fuels.One idea is to use old fuels in new ways. Methane(甲烷)，also called natural gas, is an old fuel. It is used in our stoves to cook our food. It is also used to make hot water and to heat our homes. Methane is not as heavy as gasoline, and it is safer. It does not explode(爆炸) easily. Also, when methane burns, very little is left. The air stays lean. There are problems, however. Methane gas takes up a lot of space, Cars and airplanes would need bigger fuel tanks(大容器). But scientists think they can solve the space problem. They hope that safe, clean methane will be a fuel for our cars of tomorrow.1. The word fuel is used for anything that .A. can be burned to make energy B. is put into a tank

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation(翻译)？It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) therules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She ony like apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
