Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks(小牛). They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers. Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay (孟买) wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move.
This simple technology is centuries old
. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears(齿轮). A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns, it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity.
According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.
Which kind of job that the bullocks do is NOT mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、Pulling vehicles.
B、Plowing fields.
C、Pumping water out if wells.
D、Carrying food baskets.
答案
D
解析
由题干中的关键词job、bullocks,定位到原文第一段第三、四行和第八行的“They do all kinds of…water containers.”和“One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well.”。细节题。根据文中的定位句可以知道小牛的工作包括:在田间劳作;在街上拉运输工具;运送水罐;从井里打水。故选项A、B、c均提到过。D项的运送食物篮子,文中并没有提到。故选D。
