A Chinese high-tech company is building the world's first small-sied unmanned cargo ship(货船), showing that China is taing the lead in the unmanned surface vehicle industry.
On Wednesday, the Shenhen-based Oceanalpha Co Ltd signed a memorandum of understanding with Wuhan University of Technology, the Chinese Classification Society and the huhai municipal government to start a project that will result in the small-sied unmanned surface vehicle, or USV.
\will be the first USV that is entirely developed with Chinese technology and guided by the Beidou navigation system,\2019.
Such unmanned vehicles are epected to lower the number of human-error incidents at sea, reduce labor costs and cut emissions(排放) by using batteries instead of gas.
\70 to 80 percent of incidents that happened in the sea are man-made, and 40 percent of the entire running cost goes to human labor,%unfei, founder of Oceanalpha.
\USVs can largely reduce the cost and incidents. Also, the vehicle body is much lighter, which enables it to be powered by batteries instead of gas, greatly cutting down the emission,\
Early this year, Oceanalpha launched an unmanned guard vehicle, which has already been adopted for military(军队的)use.
24.What is the passage mainly about? A. A Chinese high-tech company. B. A breathrough in ocean research. C. A Chinese-foreign joint project. D. An advancement in a water vehicle. 25. What do we now about the unmanned USV? A. It is invented by a Chinese engineer. B. It is a result of many-sided efforts. C. Its running cost goes to human labor. D. It has been put into mass-production.
26. What can be inferred from hang Yunfei’s words? A. USVs will have fewer crew members. B. It taes more human labor to run USVs. C. There will be no accidents by using USVs. D. The change of power reduces the emission. 27. What field will the USV be used in? A. Business. B. Military. C. Education. D. Science.

A new study suggests that tiny organisms living underground may store most of the carbon in Swedish forest floors. That's a good thing for the environment If the carbon remains hidden in the soil, then it's not escaping into the atmosphere. There, it could contribute to global warming.
These organisms, called mycorrhial fungi(菌根真菌), grow on tree roots. They provide trees with nutrients in echange for their sugars, which contain carbon.
Scientists had long believed that most of the carbon sits above ground. But the new study suggests most carbon is trapped in the soil. Carbon is a building bloc of every living organism, from people and fish to bacteria and trees. Trees are masters at stashing carbon. They breathe in carbon dioide from the air. They use the carbon to grow branches, leaves and roots. But the element moves around. If a tree falls down and rots—or is cut down and burned—its carbon goes bac into the air as carbon dioide. Too much of the gas in the air can foster global warming.
In cold northern forests, lie those in Sweden, fallen leaves and branches tae a long time to rot. That means the carbon in those materials can stay put for a long time.
To learn more about what a tree does with its carbon, ecologists at the Swedish University collected soil from 30 forested Swedish islands. They then measured the amount and age of the carbon in the samples. The scientists found that deeper, fungi-filled soils contained more carbon than soils from the surface of the forest floor.
When the scientists dated the carbon in the samples, they got a surprise They found \carbon in deeper soils. The researchers had epected to find young carbon only in soils closer to the surface of the forest
