The British Invention Show, first started in 2001, takes place every October in London. The competition looks at inventions from all over the world. A team of 25 judges look for the best inventions in each of the three categories: invention, innovation and technology. There are prizes for the best British inventions and the best international inventions. There is an awards ceremony on the last day where prizes are given to the best in each category.
课时作业(一)
The three-day show gives inventors the opportunity to meet new people. Each year a large number of investors, designers and manufacturers attend the show with the aim of looking to work directly with new inventors and promoting their products. The inventors who win are often promoted by Association of British Inventors and Innovators.
Previous winner
Last year, one of the winners was “the beach bag plus”. This invention is a bag which can turn into a picnic bag and also a chair. It is considered the most useful invention for people who like outdoor summer living. You can presently buy this product online for £55.
课时作业(一)
Sign up for the event
If you would like to enter in the future then you can. Each stand costs £1,200 for three days. But, if you book before the end of May, you will receive a 20% discount. All you need to do is fill out the online application form and pay a 20% deposit (订金). The cancellation policy is fairly straightforward. If you cancel three months before the event, then you will get your deposit back. If you cancel 30 days before the show, you will be charged 100%.

B
In Melbourne lies an 87-square-meter, three-story, two-bedroom and one-bathroom house. That may sound like a real property advertisement, but it could be the home of the future.
Made from organic materials and run on sustainable (可持续
的) energy, the building, known as “The Greenhouse”, is comp-
letely zero waste. It was designed by zero waste advocate Bakker,
as part of his Future Food System housing experiment. “The green-
house is inspired by nature—it's an ecosystem where nothing is wasted,” Bakker says.
课时作业(一)
Organic waste is fed into a biodigester where it ferments (发酵) and turns into gas for cooking or fertilizer for produce; rainwater is harvested and used for irrigation and a specific system, where plants grow using waste from fish; and hot steam from the shower enables a wall of mushrooms to boost. The house is designed, says Bakker, with the roof as the foundation, loaded with 35 tons of soil, which provides fertile (肥沃的) ground for produce—more than 200 plant species grow on the roof, as well as insects, snails, fish and chickens.
The site is more than just a model home; it's been a real one for Jo Barrett and Matt Stone, who were chefs at the small in-house restaurant. “To be able to grow and produce food on a tiny footprint in the city and turn it into exciting dishes is completely unique,” says Stone.
课时作业(一)
Through the project, Bakker wanted to demonstrate he could feed a family with his design. “I think we've proved that it's actually more productive than I imagined,” he says. “We've harvested 35 kilos of potatoes from a square meter.”
He hopes the example will offer a blueprint to future homes and an alternative to current food system, which is to blame for over a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Creating a circular system could also greatly reduce food waste.
课时作业(一)
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了零垃圾倡导者Bakker(巴克)设计的温室是如何模仿大自然的生态系统变废为能的。
“We're the only species that generates waste. In nature, there is no waste; everything becomes a food source for something else,” says Bakker. “If we transform to a circular system, we have so much potential to stop the destruction of wilderness and forest.”
课时作业(一)
4.What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A.The future of the greenhouse building.
B.The way the greenhouse building works.

课时作业(一)
5.What do we learn about the greenhouse home?
A.It can provide a good supply of produce.
B.It is a perfect habitat for all insects.
C.It is possessed by the designer Bakker.
D.Plant growing is free of soil in the house.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The house ... fish and chickens. (Bakker说,房子的设计以屋顶作为基础,装载35吨土壤,土壤提供了用于(生产)农产品的肥沃土地——200多种植物生长在屋顶,还有很多昆虫、蜗牛、鱼和鸡。)”可知,温室可以提供良好的农产品供应。故选A。
课时作业(一)
6.Why are the chefs mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To introduce the concept of the house.
B.To inform people of the latest restaurant.
C.To demonstrate the future modern home.
D.To illustrate the advantage of the house.
答案:D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,这个房子不只是一个模型,对于厨师Jo Barrett(乔·巴雷特)和Matt Stone(马特·斯通)来说,它是一个真正的家。由此可推知,第四段提到厨师是为了说明这所房子的优点。故选D。
课时作业(一)
7.What can be inferred according to Bakker?
A.People have to explore nature more.
B.Human relies heavily on the environment.
C.The greenhouse is a way to reduce waste.
D.The greenhouse helps reduce reliance on nature.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在大自然中没有浪费,一切都可以变成另一种生物的食物来源。如果我们转换成一个循环系统,我们就有很大的可能阻止对荒野和森林的破坏。由此可推知,温室是减少浪费的一种方式。故选C。
