You will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and decide whether each of the statements is true or false, or that the information is not given in the passage. Then mark the answer on the Answer Sheet.Renewable EnergyHow does energy use affect the environment?All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. However, clean energy technologies, including renewable energy and combined heat and power, have fewer impacts than other sources of electricity generation.To learn about the environmental impacts of electricity generation technologies, click on an energy source below.How clean is the electricity I use?In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. Traditional methods of electricity production contribute to air quality problems and the risk of global climate change.With the advent of electric customer choice, many electricity customers can now choose the source of their electricity. In fact, you might now have the option of choosing cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of energy.How can I make a difference?The energy decisions we make every day can encourage the development of new power sources, save natural resources, and help ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved. In many parts of the country, consumers now have the opportunity to choose the source of the power that is delivered to their home or business—including energy derived from renewable sources. "Renewable energy" generally refers to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power (energy supplied by the sun), geothermal (energy created from the extreme heat contained in liquid rock—called magma（岩浆）—within the Earth's core), hydropower (energy derived from the movement of water as it flows downstream), and various forms of biomass (fuel from sources such as trees, wood and agricultural wastes and fuel crops). These energy sources are considered renewable because they are continuously replenished on the Earth.In addition, mobile sources of air pollution—such as cars, trucks, trains and lawnmowers—also contribute to air pollution nationwide and are an important source of air pollution in many urban areas.Hydrogen EnergyUsing hydrogen energy could help address many concerns facing our nation and our world. We believe hydrogen can contribute to resolving these issues for these reasons:Firstly, hydrogen can be made from a variety of domestic feedstocks like water, biomass, coal and natural gas.Second, hydrogen is non-toxic（⽆毒的）, non-poisonous and will not contribute to groundwater pollution. It does not create "fumes" or other harmful emissions; in fact, using hydrogen in fuel cells produces only electricity and pure water.Furthermore, hydrogen is a key enabler for the development and more widespread implementation of renewable energy technologies, resulting in cleaner and more efficient products in the marketplace.Fifty million tons of hydrogen is produced each year worldwide, with nine million tons being consumed in the U.S. The challenge is to bring hydrogen into the everyday lives of customers as they begin to use hydrogen-powered vehicles and other applications.Geothermal EnergyOur earth's interior—like the sun—provides heat energy from nature. This heat—geothermal energy—yields warmth and power that we can use without polluting the environment. Geothermal heat originates from Earth's fiery consolidation of dust and gas over 4 billion years ago. At earth's core—4,000 miles deep—temperatures may reach over 9,000 degrees F.Solar EnergySunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. After the 1973 oil embargo（禁运）, there was a resurgence（复苏，波动再起）of interest in solar energy. Faced with a possibility of scarce oil resources, the United States government allocated $400 million per year, from a mere $1 million per year, for solar energy research. The expenditure is small compared to the expenditure on nuclear research. Currently, there is a need for allocating increased resources in solar research. Compared to the old forms of reducible energy (coal, oil, nuclear), solar energy offers a clean renewable form of energy. This presentation will provide an overview of the past, present and future of solar energy.Wind EnergyWe have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years. From old Holland to farms in the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's modern equivalent—a wind turbine（涡轮机）—can use the wind's energy to generate electricity.Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind. Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades. Usually, two or three blades are mounted on a shaft to form a rotor（旋转部分，旋转器）.A blade acts much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade. The low-pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift. The force of the lift is actually much stronger than the wind's force against the front side of the blade, which is called drag. The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller, and the turning shaft spins a generator to make electricity.Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid（蓄电池电极板）or even combined with a photovoltaic（光电的）(solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually built closetogether to form a wind plant. Several electricity providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers. Ocean Energy BasicsThe ocean can produce two types of energy: thermal energy from the sun's heat, and mechanical energy from the tides and waves.Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface, making them the world's largest solar collectors. The sun's heat warms the surface water a lot more than the deep ocean water, and this temperature difference creates thermal energy. Just a small portion of the heat trapped in the ocean could power the world.Ocean thermal energy is used for many applications, including electricity generation. There are three types of electricity conversion systems: closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid（混合的）. Closed-cycle systems use the ocean's warm surface water to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low-boiling point, such as ammonia（氨）. The vapor expands and turns a turbine. The turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. Open-cycle systems actually boil the seawater by operating at low pressures. This produces steam that passes through a turbine/generator. And hybrid systems combine both closed-cycle and open-cycle systems.Ocean mechanical energy is quite different from ocean thermal energy. Even though the sun affects all ocean activities, tides are driven primarily by the gravitational pull of the moon, and waves are driven primarily by the winds. As a result, tides and waves are intermittent（间歇的，断断续续的）sources of energy, while ocean thermal energy is fairly constant. Also, unlike thermal energy, the electricity conversion of both tidal and wave energy usually involves mechanical devices.1.Renewable energy has no environmental impact.a. True.b. False.c.

Cloze (1 point for each, altogether 10 points)Directions: Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words，at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures，these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.In the 34 ，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.H ow are families changing today? The number of nuclear families （核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39 . One reason for this seems to bethat in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to find 40 .31. [A] another[B] the other[C] other[D] others32. [A] former [B] front[C] latter [D] back33.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and tootheoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects.41．What is "logical" according to the first paragraph?_______.[A] Intelligent young people want to go to university.[B] The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.[C] People who run the country should be well-trained.[D] University is the place to train young men and women.42．What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones?_______.[A] There are more science subjects in them.[B] There are more arts students in them.[C] Their curriculum is more scientifically planned.[D] They are equipped with more modern facilities.43．What does "their calculations"(par.2)refer to ?_______.[A] Their plan to defeat the traditional university education.[B] Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts.[C] Their thought that science is practical.[D] Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university.44．Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly?_______.[A] They have more qualified teachers.[B] They have more qualified courses.[C] The students can be qualified to work within a short time.[D] If the students get qualification in technical schools, they are more well-received by industry.45．Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university?_______.[A] The reason is not clear.[B] The science courses in university are too theoretical.[C] Arts sound nobler than science.[D] The curriculum of science course is not well-arranged.Passage 2Most Europeans want small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than alarge one.Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small,nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.46．Implied but not stated:_______.[A] All Americans buy European cars.[B] No one wants to drive a powerful car.[C] Small cars are not expensive to run.[D] Americans don't like roomy cars.47．What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.[A] cheap[B] beautiful[C] swift[D] foreign48．On the whole, the article tells about_______.[A] parking cars in America[B] the price of gasoline[C] the price of roomy cars[D] big cars and small cars49．Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.[A] They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.[B] It is easier to park big cars.[C] They need to make long-distance journey.[D] Big cars cost less than small cars.50．Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.[A] Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.[B] People like to choose cars from many choices.[C] People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.[D] No one drives big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug couldnot have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “bIcycle makes car obsolete!”We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51．If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.[A] unsuitable for its purpose[B] in advance of its time[C] unnecessarily expensive[D] too far for safety52．The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.[A] were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention[B] are more suitable for use now than when they were invented[C] are neglected in favor of more recent invention[D] are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention53．According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.[A] are more convenient[B] are more reliable[C] cost less to replace[D] are more complete54．What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.[A] Modern technology can't solve our problems.[B] Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.[C] We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.[D] Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55．What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.[A] outdated[B] slow in movement[C] ridiculous[D] awkwardIV.

The company also publishes books and multimedia titles and offers electronic mail services. It has sales offices throughout the world but does virtually all of its research and development at its corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington, U.S.In 1975 Bill Gates and Paul G. Allen, two boyhood friends from Seattle, converted BASIC, a popular mainframe programming language, for use on an early personal computer (PC) ,the Altair. Shortly afterward Gates and Allen founded Microsoft, deriving the name from the words “microcomputer” and “software”. Dur ing the next few years they refined BASIC and developed other programming languages. In 1980 International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) askedMicrosoft to produce the essential software, or operating system, for its first personal computer, the IBM PC. Microsoft purchased an operating system from another company, modified it, and renamed it MS-DOS( Microsoft Disk Operating System). MS-DOS was released with the IBM PC in 1981. Thereafter , most manufacturers of personal computers licensed MS-DOS as their operating system , generating vast revenues for Microsoft; by the early 1990s it had sold more than 100 million copies of the program and defeated rival operating systems such as CP/M ,which it displaced in the early 1980s, and later OS/2. Microsoft deepened its position in operating systems with its Windows graphical command program, whose third version, released in 1990, gained a wide following. By 1993, Windows 3.0 and its subsequent versions were selling at a rate of one million copies per month, and nearly 90 percent of the world’s PCs ran on a Microsoft operating system. In 1995 the company released Windows 95, which for the first time fully integrated MS-DOS with Windows and effectively matched in ease of use Apple Computer’s Macintosh OS. It also became the leader in productivity software such as word-processing and spreadsheet programs, outdistancing long-time rivals Lotus and WordPerfect in the process.33. What is the role of Microsoft Corporation in the world of software systems and applications/A) It’s the biggest multinational corporation. B) It’s the founder of personal computers.C) It’s the leading developer. D) It’s the largest bookseller in America.34.

D) Both A and B.35. Who established Microsoft?A) Bill Gates. B) Paul G. Allen.C) Bill Gates and Paul G. Allen. D)A group of computer experts.36. In 1980 IBM asked Microsoft to produce the operating system, they ______.A) invented it alone . B) refused to do it.C) wanted to make a perfect one, but they failed.D) bought one from another company and made a little change.37. What does the passage imply?A) Windows 3.0 fully integrated MS-DOS with Windows.B) By 1990, nearly 90 percent of th e world’s had run on Windows 3.0.C) IBM asked Microsoft to develop Windows 95.D) Microsoft surpassed Lotus and WordPerfect till 1995.Passage 2Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Sony was incorporated in 1946 as Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering corporation Its founders were Iuka Masaru, whose Japan precision Instruments Company had supplied electronic devices during World War II, and Morita Akio, an applied sciences instructor.

When her mother died the next year, she returned home. Between 1922 and 1926 she was a writer and reporter for the Atlanta Journal.After an ankle injury in 1926 she left the magazine and, for the next 10 years, worked slowly on a romantic novel about the Civil War and Reconstruction as seen from a Southerner point of view. Scarlett O’Hara is the heroine of novel, and she is a strong-willed woman. The novel had absorbed the tragedy of the war and the romance of the history. Mitchell worked at her novel occasionally, composing episodes(情节) out of sequence and later fitting them together.

It was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. The movie rights were sold for $50,000. The film, starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable and produced by David O. Selznick, premiered in Atlanta in December 1939 after an unprecedented period of advance promotion, including the highly publicized search for an actress to play Scarlett. It won nine major Oscars and two special Oscars at the Academy Awards and for two decades reigned as the top money-making film of all time. Mitchell, who never adjusted to the celebrity that had befallen her and who never attempted another book, died after an automobile accident in 1949. Four decades after Mitchell’s death, a sequel(续集) named Scarlett appeared.48. When did Mitchell begin her novel?A) In 1918. B) Between 1922 and 1926. C) In 1926. D) In 1936.49.

You might picture a black-and-white movie with a performer dressed in a tuxedo (礼服). Tap dancing might not seem like something popular and modern. If that is how you picture tap, then you have never seen Savion Glover dance! This choreographer (编舞者), dancer, director, and producer has changed the way people think about tap dancing today.Savion Glover was born in New Jersey in 1973. He showed a talent for drumming when he was only four years old, so he began going to school at the Newark Community School of the Arts. By the time he was seven, he had begun taking rhythm tap classes at the Broadway Dance Center in New York. Rhythm tap is a special kind of dance that uses all the parts of the feet to create sounds.When Savion began taking tap lessons, his family could not afford the special shoes he needed. Savion had to wear a pair of cowboy boots to his first lesson! Just a few years later, Savion landed his first role in a Broadway performance, The TapDance Kid.Savion continued working in a variety of areas. He learned much of what he knew about tap dancing from masters like Sammy Davis, Junior and Gregory Hines. He participated in other Broadway productions, and he even made a movie. Savion also became well-known for his recurring role on the children's television show Sesame Street.The style of tap that Savion is best known for is often called hoofing, or street tap. It is a hard-hitting form of tap, and the movements are more acrobatic than those of traditional tap. Savion's work combines elements of jazz, hip-hop, rock-'n-roll, and the blues to create something unique and exciting. People love to watch Savion'sfeet move. It is hard to keep up with them, but that is part of the fun in watching Savion Glover perform.31. What is Savion Glover's major contribution to tap dancing?A) To preserve its well-established form.B) To transform the way of looking at tap dancing.C) To combine music with tap dancing perfectly.D) To introduce rhythm tap to Broadway.32. Why did Savion wear a pair of cowboy boots to his first tap lesson?A) Because he wanted to look different from others.B) Because the role required that he should wear cowboy boots.C) Because it was unnecessary for a beginner to wear dancing shoes.D) Because his family didn't have enough money for dancing shoes.33. Which of the following can best describe Savion according to the passage?A) Childlike. B) Creative. C) Courageous. D) Energetic.34. Hoofing is characterized by ______________ .A) its quick feet movement B) its unique body movementC) its light rhythm D) its being easy to learn35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) How Tap Dancing Evolves. B) Music and Tap Dancing.C) The Best Hoofer of All. D) Savion and His Broadway Productions.Passage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Imagine you go to the beach and find a sign: "Water Polluted—No Swimming Allowed." That's what happened to actor Ted Danson in 1984. The experience changed his life. Worried that his daughters (then aged 5 and 10) couldn't plunge into the ocean the way he had as a teen, Danson founded the American Oceans Campaign, an organization aimed at protecting Earth's oceans and coastal waters."Our oceans feed the world, cool our planet, regulate climate, and create nearly one-half of the global oxygen supply," Danson says. He's not joking. Fish are the main source of dietary protein for nearly 1 billion people—most of them in developing nations. Oceans absorb and radiate the Sun's heat to help keep Earth's temperature in balance. Microscopic plants (微⽣物) that live on the ocean's surface take in carbon dioxide to make food—and the precious oxygen we need to breathe."Yet each day, billions of gallons of sewage (污⽔), pesticides (杀⾍剂，农药), and industrial chemicals flow into the sea," Danson says. According to a United Nations report on the marine environment, about 80 percent of all marine pollution comes from human activities (like farming and driving) on land. Even if you live hundreds of miles from the nearest seashore, Danson adds, each day, Earth's atmosphere recycles billions of kiloliters of salty seawater and turns it into fresh water. Ocean water evaporates (蒸发) and rises into the atmosphere. There it condenses and falls to Earth as rain or snow. Thisfresh water collects in rivers, streams, and lakes or goes deep into the earth. These are the main sources of our drinking water.Human activities—like mining, forest clearing, farming, and manufacturing—pollute these freshwater sources, too. But it's not too late to turn the tide, Danson says. You can help by conserving water and working to keep it clean.36. What made Danson decide to establish the American Oceans Campaign?A) His daughters' keen interest in swimming.B) His rich knowledge about the oceanic science.C) His experience in being forbidden to swim in the ocean.D) The role he played in a movie about the ocean.37. According to the passage, oxygen is produced _____________ .A) by absorbing and radiating the Sun's heatB) by microscopic plantsC) by creating dietary proteinD) by regulating the climate38. The word "condense" (Line 7, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to " _____________ ".A) absorb B) become liquid C) become heavy D) reduce39. Which of the following is responsible for the pollution of drinking water?A) The recycle of salty seawater. B) The growth of forest.C) The evaporation of ocean water. D) The use of industrial chemicals.40. What is Danson's attitude towards the protection of oceans and coastal waters?A) Hopeful. B) Doubtful. C) Confident. D) Negative.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Few places in the world are more mysterious than Easter Island, located in the Pacific Ocean 2,300 miles from the coast of Chile. Easter Island has 64 square miles of rugged coastline and steep hills. Scientists believe that island began as a volcano. Three extinct volcanoes remain on the island. The largest one rises 1,400 feet high.On Easter Sunday of 1722, Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen and his crew landed on Easter Island aboard the Dutch ship Arena. The astonished crew found dozens of huge stone figures standing on long stone platforms. The statues, some measuring 40 feet tall, were similar in appearance. Their expressionless faces were without eyes. Huge red cylinders (圆柱体) were placed on their heads. Since that time, the island has been a source of mystery to scientists and explorers. Archaeologists (考古学家) believe that three different cultures lived on Easter Island. About 400 A.D., the island was inhabited by a group of people who specialized in making small stone statues.Years later, another civilization tore down these statues and used them to build long temple platforms called ahus. These people carved more than 600 enormous stone busts (半⾝像) of human forms and placed them on the ahus. Some ahus still hold up to 15 statues.Scientists believe that the statues were carved from hard volcanic rock. The statues were made with stone picks made of basalt (⽞武岩). Although the statues weigh many tons each, it is believed that they were moved with ropes and rollers across the island and placed on the ahus. This may be the reason for one island legend about the statues "walking" to their site. About 1670, another group of people invaded the island. These invaders practiced cannibalism (同类相⾷). During this time, many people began living in underground caves where they hid their treasures.Today, Easter Island is governed by Chile, a country of South America. Almost the entire population of 2,000 people lives inthe small village of Hanga Roa on the west coast of the island.41. The author believes that Easter Island _____________ .A) is not a real place B) is not worth scientific studyC) is the result of cannibalism D) is fascinating to study42. How did Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen and his crew feel at the sight of huge stone figures?A) Amazed. B) Excited. C) Indifferent. D) Frightened.43. When did Easter Island begin to attract explorers?A) About 400 A.D. B) About 1670. C) About 600 A.D. D) About 1722.44. According to the author, which of the following is true about ahus?A) People who lived in underground caves built the ahus.B) The ahus was carved with stone picks.C) There is no such thing as ahus.D) The ahus was a place on which statues were placed.45. The author's purpose in writing the passage is most likely to ____________ .A) persuade readers to visit Easter IslandB) inform readers about a trip to Easter IslandC) explain why Easter Island is a source of mysteryD) report the latest scientific findings about Easter IslandSection BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please markthe corresponding letter far-each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.On the campus, particularly where classes are small, I found a strange informality (不拘礼节，随意) that characterized the relationship between students and their professors.

Text 1 I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night “morn” says, “I guess you guys are never gonna get married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you' e living together, but.., oh, forget it.” “Oh, well,” I said, “put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow.” Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get married. I' malso suspicious of any two people who don' t struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up. I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances. She said no. It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, “If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will.” Finally, I said, “But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes.” “Switzerland,” she said, “is filled with precise, humorless people.” “Maybe I should have suggested Paris?” For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid “maybe”. But she said no again. When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. “I guess I was a little rude to you last night,” shexplained. Meanwhile, I' m figuring I' m off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous. t day she gave me a “I asked, you said no. It's okay,” I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later thalittle box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. “Yes. I've reconsidered.” I liked the watch, so I did the right thing. 46.

[ A ] wouldn' t care too much if he stayed single [ B ] could take her to a better place than Paris [ C ] was rich enough to support his wife [ D ] didn't care what she thought about his proposal 49. The last sentence “I did the right thing” implied he_________. [ A ] traveled with his wife [ B ] had a successful marriage [ C ] liked the watch very much [ D ] waited for another eight years 50. The best title for this text would be___________. [ A ] How My Mother-In-Law Helped Me [ B ] How I Received a Gold Watch I Liked [ C ] How I Made My Wife Travel With Me [ D ] How I Came to Marry-My Wife Text 2 “Hi there. How's it going?” “Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh ?” “Well, I guess we can always use the rain.” What's that? This story ? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day, Maybe you're waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn't do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in ou lives. Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. It's so powerful. It does something to you.” “Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secre t ary,” Oliver says, “If I don't make small connection with another person, I can' t work.” tary,” Oliver says, “If I don't make small connection with another person, I can' t work.” What causes it? As a rule, you're either trying to force something into your life, or you're using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation. The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time. Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, “can epted.” confirm your territory. It's a way of feeling liked and accThe topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking. Let's say you're at a party. Now it' s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around so you don' t look silly standing by the food table alone all night. __. 51. “Small talk”, as interpreted by the author,______[ A ] has no real function in communication at all [ B ] is usually meaningless and therefore useless [ C ] is not as idle as it may seem to be [ D ] is restricted to certain topics only 52. According to the author, small talk is often used ____________. [ A ] to invade other' s private affairs [ B ] to share a secret between intimate friends [ C ] to open and maintain channels of communication [ D ] to protect one' s own privacy 53. According to the author, topics of small talk may include comments on________. [ A ] some political issues [ B ] one' s physical condition [ C ] other' s ways of dress [ D ] the traffic jam -threatening talk in a threatening situation”? 54. Why is small talk described as “non[ A] It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted with danger. [ B ] It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable. [ C ] It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment. [ D ] It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation. 55. According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of_______. [ A ] making both others and yourself feel at ease [ B ] excluding those you don't like from joining you [ C ] keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you [ D ] comforting those who feel lonely Text 3 Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence ed coins are: one cent (penny ), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents “greenbacks”). The commonly us e d coins are: one cent (penny ), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents (quarter). 50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has or you. “Always carry plenty of quarters when traveling. Very been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation fuseful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc.” There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse. It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travelers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travelers' cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you' 11 be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bill Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques. Credit cards can be even more valuable than travelers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be consideredso untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager. 56. Why is it useful to carry enough 25-cent coins with you? [ A ] They can act as small change for the-exact bus fares. [ B ] There is- generally no problem in using them in Canada. [ C ] As a basic unit of money, they are gradually gaining in usage. [ D ] They may come in handy for pay phones or laundry machines. 57. It is not necessary to carry cash instead of dollar travelers' cheques because the latter can be ________. [ A ] used for phones, bus fares and hotel reservations [ B ] used to pay in restaurants and big stores [ C ] used like credit cards, even in remote areas [ D ] exchanged easily, even at car rental companies se …in lieu of‟ (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means________. 58. The phra s e …in lieu of‟ (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means________. [ A ] on behalf of [ B ] in line with [ C ] with regard to [ D ] instead of 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE? [ A ] Credit cards have more advantages than travelers' cheques. [ B ] Dollar bills are as convenient as credit cards. [ C ] One-cent coins have been withdrawn from circulation. [ D ] You can increase your credit limit as you like. 60. This passage is most probably taken from [ A ] a tourist guide [ B ] a bank brochure [ C ] a booklet about car rental [ D ] a handbook on U.S. currency Part B Directions: Read the texts from a cyber saloon in which five people talked about Tofu (also known as bean curd), a traditional Chinese and Japanese food. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) that or she is most likely to say. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Jenise: I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least in that f these, we eat with abandon “for medicinal concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl opurposes”! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases. Lee: In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I' m remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker' s by himself and bringing back some fleshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recal Toru' s unique way of getting it home intact ( with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old in semi-rural Southern California. Hoke: It's great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fried quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince ( with spring onion) on top of ea cube. The thing that I love most is ,the texture--really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. I' m definitely a fan. Nyby: It's sort of weird to me. You go in to one of those “Mock Vegetarian” restaurants only to find everything on the menu “mock”“mock”--mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it' s tofu molded into something that looks --mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it' s tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don't know about you, but if I' m eating a vegetarian I don' t need to go through a fantasy of pretending I' m eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast. Is this to delude someone, or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food? Robin: Precisely because it is so “tasteless”, I eat. it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it' s served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. I you try them and tell me that you don't think they have much flavor, I' 11 have to disagree because that's not true of tofu The flavor's mild and you can combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Jenise [ A ] Real or unreal, who knows? 62. Lee [ B ] Don' t deceive yourself and others: tofu is no meat. 63. Hoke [ C ] Amazing texture, I enjoy tofu inside out. 64. Nyby [ D ] I am constantly at war with tofu. 65. Robin [ E ] Tofu hasn' t got a unique taste of its own, but it goes well with any food. [ F ] Eating tofu is a strong childhood memory. [ G ] Tofu is the best medicine. SECTION IV W riting(40 Writing(40 minutes) Directions: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2. Part A66.

Text 2 参考译文“你好.最近怎样?” “哦，很好，很好.今天天气怎么样，哈?” “我想我们这儿会一直下雨.” 上面讲的是什么一则故事?噢，这只是关于琐谈的一瞥.你知道，每天你碰到几十次这种看上去没什么意义的琐谈，或在等电梯的时候．或是在银行排队的时候.这种谈话都显得很琐碎.打发时间的谈谈交通和不说话没什么两样，转眼就被遗忘了.但是你要知道这样的琐谈在我们的生活中具有重要的地位. 帕特．奥利弗是艺术学的教授助理，他说“虽然没被证实，但是琐谈可以是一种进攻，它的力量很强大，会对你造成影响.”“每天早上在高速公路上花一个半小时到达办公室之后，我跟我的秘书进行一些琐谈来开始一天的工作，”奥利弗说，“如果不跟别人进行一些简单的交流的话我就没办法工作.” 这种情况是怎么造成的呢?按规律来说，你不是想要利用谈话强行将一些东西带进自己的生活，就是把谈话当作一种无形的力量将某些事物排除在你的生活之外.你也许是正想与某人交流，琐谈可将你们引入更有意义的谈话. 人们进行琐谈的方式通常是由当时所处的环境所决定的.以搭电梯的时候为例，现在这是一片原始的领域，谁也不认识谁并且也没有理由开始一次交谈，但总是会有人第一个说话.根据奥利弗的说法在这样一个平和的社会环境下交谈“可以巩固自己的领域.你可以通过它感受自己是否被别人喜爱和接受”.”. 琐谈的主题并不重要.实际上，你不会想要任何比天气或者是交通更沉重的话题.这是在具有威胁性的情形下进行的没有威胁的谈话.然而.当你同时跟很多人在一起进行大量交谈的时候，规则是在飞快的变化的. 让我们假设你参加一次聚会.现在是时候利用琐谈来使你周围的人感到自在和放松了，这样你也不会傻傻地独自在餐桌边站一个晚上了. 51．C 【精析】主旨题.从整篇文章来看，作者的意思是说琐谈看上去没什么意义，作者的意思是说琐谈看上去没什么意义，但是却能起到很重要的作用，但是却能起到很重要的作用，例如将交谈双方引入一些更重要的谈话或者是打破冷场的局面.这与C 项表述一致.A 、B 两项曲解了文意.D 项“琐谈的话题有严格的限制”，与文章倒数第二段第一句“The topics of small talk don‟t matter ．”相悖.故选C. 52．C 【精析】推理题.由文章倒数第四段第二句话“You Call be wani ng to connect with another person ，and small talks is your introduction to more meaningful conversation ．”可知，当我们想与他人进行交流时，琐谈可把我们引入更为严肃、正式的话题，由此可判断琐谈可起到建立和维持沟通渠道的作用，这与C 项表述一致.故选C. 53．D 【精析】推理题.文中说琐谈一般都是关于天气和交通的无实质内容的、轻松的话题，故选D. 54．C 【精析】推理题.从文章最后一段可以看出，琐谈的一个重要作用就是在一些场合使得自己和周围的人感到放松且从谈话的内容来看，说话的人只是想营造一种气氛故选C. 55．A 【精析】推理题.最后一段意思是“利用琐谈来使你周围的人感到舒服，这样你也不会独自在餐桌旁站一个晚上了，看上去傻乎乎的”.A 项“使自己和别人都感到放松”与此相符.故选A. Text 3 参考译文美元和美分是美国货币的基本单位.所有美元的背面都是绿色的(因此叫做“绿背”).最常使用的硬币有：一美分(一便士)，五美分(五分镍币)，十美分(一角硬币)，二十五美分(四分之一美元).在人们争论要不要停止使用一美分硬币的时候，五角的硬币和银制美元硬币(其实不再真的是银质的)也开始使用了——对你来说那是通货膨胀.“在旅行的时候要带足25美分的硬币.打电话、在售货机上买苏打水还有用干洗机的时候这些硬币很有用.” 一般来说在加拿大使用美元没有问题，但是如果反过来的话就不一样了. 随身带些零钱有时候很有用，比如说乘坐单一票制公交车时，但是不要带太多现金在身上.将巨额现金存在旅行支票里来代替携带现金，这种美元面额的旅行支票要既可以用于国内购物也可以用于国外购物. 最为大家所熟知的旅行支票是美国快递，所以用这种旅行支票最容易兑换现金，即使是在偏僻的地方.托马斯—库克旅行支票也被广泛接受，尤其是丢失后还可以到某些汽车租赁公司认领.美元面额的支票可以 当作现金用.根本不需要去银行兑现：在餐馆、超市或者任何时候都可以用这样的支票付款.面值为十美元或者二十美元的支票一直都被人们接受，而且对方还会为你找零钱就像使用关钞一样.在用支票兑现的 时候要出示你的身份证. 信用卡比旅行支票更有价值，信用卡比旅行支票更有价值，通过电话预订房间的时候通常会用到信用卡做担保，通过电话预订房间的时候通常会用到信用卡做担保，通过电话预订房间的时候通常会用到信用卡做担保，而且在租汽车的时候信用卡而且在租汽车的时候信用卡还能用作订金一没有信用卡的话别人会觉得你不值得信任，这样出租公司不光是要收取你的订金 还会留下你的护照以确保安全.主要的几种信用卡是VISA ，Master Charge ，Access ，Diners Club 和American Express.如果你持有银如果你持有银行卡的话．为了出去旅行方便而增加你的信用度也是很值得的——关于这一点你可以咨询你的银行经理人. 56．D 【精析】细节题.这道题考查的是文中关于25美分硬币用途的说法，在文中第一段最后明确提出了25美分硬币有各种用途，包含在内的是D 项.故选D. 57．B 【精析】释义题.文章第三段倒数第三句说“…use them instead to pay for meals ．supermarket purchases or whatever ．”，其中them 指代checks.可知支票可以用于支付旅馆和商店的费用. 故选B. 58．D 【精析】推理题.破折号后面的文章说如果没有信用卡出租公司会收取订金还会扣留护照，说明如果有信用卡的话公司就不会另收订金，所以信用卡的作用是代替订金，故选D. 59．A 【精析】判断题.A 由文章最后一段第一句话“Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers‟ cheques…”，可知信用卡比旅行支票更具价值，这与A 项表述一致. 60．B 【精析】推理题.从整体来看，文章介绍了货币、支票和信用卡的用途，所以A 、c 只是断章取义的说法不合题意.而D 强调的是货币，比较片面.只有B 符合文意. Part B 参考译文在中国和日本，豆腐都是传统菜，下面这篇文章是5个人对于吃豆腐的不同看法.(注意每个人所说话的主题) 杰尼斯：我比大部分人都更喜欢豌豆和大豆，所以我自然会选择豆腐我的中国朋友阿娜贝丽也很喜欢豌豆和大豆.她告诉我大豆含有一种其他任何食物原料所没有的成分，或者至少其中该成分的含量高于 其他任何食物原料，这种成分有助于预防乳癌.在我们吃一大碗豆腐的时候，我们是为了医疗目的而尽情地吃.虽然豆腐的做法有很多种，我还是喜欢它简简单单的吃法，而且它还能治疗其他疾病. 李：实际上，我喜欢豆腐可能是冥冥之中注定的：小时候，我最喜欢的书就是《Tur0与豆腐》(希望我没记错书名).故事讲的是一个叫做Turo 的东京小男孩要第一次独自去隔壁一位做豆腐的邻居家里，并且要带回一些鲜豆腐块回来做晚饭.我还记得Turo 把豆腐完整无缺的带回家所用的独特的方法(他把豆腐放在一个装了水的坛子里).对于生活在不太发达的加利福尼亚南部且当时只有5岁的我来说，这一切看上 去是那么新奇. 。

大学三级(B)分类模拟305(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Reading Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Task 1(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Since the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere. Smog especially is a common concern. As a popular online-post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. "After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It"s for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government"s determination to address the environment issue.（分数：20.00）(1).The effect of smog doesn"t include ______.（分数：4.00）A.the rising of PM2.5 readingsB.more people suffering diseasesC.the increase of people"s income √D.patients increased in hospital解析：(2).Why has smog become a common concern?（分数：4.00）A.Because people have to pay higher prices.B.Because nobody can avoid it. √C.Because we have to develop industry.D.Because a popular online-post discussed it.解析：(3).To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but ______.（分数：4.00）A.we have to sacrifice air as the priceB.the dirty air is not what we want √C.ecological progress can be ignoredD.the smog is the only product解析：(4).The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refers to ______.（分数：4.00）A.human beings √B.other planetsC.space technologiesD.industrial development解析：(5).From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ______.（分数：4.00）A.high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionB.space technologies should be developed in a large scaleC.we can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyedD.we must protect the environment while developing economy √解析：三、Task 2(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia (巴塔哥尼亚), he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan"s Strait. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Magellan was killed in battles in that islands. The remaining officers decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were the first men to sail round the world.（分数：12.00）(1).The purpose of Magellan"s expedition was ______.（分数：4.00）A.to sail round the worldB.to find navigation lane from the Atlantic to the PacificC.to make a voyage to Asia √D.to carry men to Philippines解析：(2).The time Magellan Strait was discovered was ______.（分数：4.00）A.in August 1519B.in October 1520 √C.in November 1520D.not mentioned解析：(3).The best title for this passage is ______.（分数：4.00）A.The Discovery of MagellanB.The Discovery of the PhilippinesC.The Most Dangerous Expedition in NavigationD.The First Sailing Round the World √解析：四、Task 3(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Trip ReportsMany companies require their employees to hand in reports of their business trips.

东华大学20__-20__学年第__学期期末试题踏实学习，弘扬正气；诚信做人，诚实考试；作弊可耻，后果自负College English Achievement TestBand 3（易班）Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10%)Directions: In this part, there is a passage followed by ten statements. You will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and decide whether each of the statements is true or false, or that the information is not given in the passage. Then mark the answer on the Answer Sheet.Renewable EnergyHow does energy use affect the environment?All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. However, clean energy technologies, including renewable energy and combined heat and power, have fewer impacts than other sources of electricity generation.To learn about the environmental impacts of electricity generation technologies, click on an energy source below.How clean is the electricity I use?In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. Traditional methods of electricity production contribute to air quality problems and the risk of global climate change.With the advent of electric customer choice, many electricity customers can now choose the source of their electricity. In fact, you might now have the option of choosing cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of energy.How can I make a difference?The energy decisions we make every day can encourage the development of new power sources, save natural resources, and help ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved. In many parts of the country, consumers now have the opportunity to choose the source of the power that is delivered to their home or business—including energy derived from renewable sources. "Renewable energy" generally refers to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power (energy supplied by the sun), geothermal (energy created from the extreme heat contained in liquid rock—called magma（岩浆）—within the Earth's core), hydropower (energy derived from the movement of water as it flows downstream), and various forms of biomass (fuel from sources such as trees, wood and agricultural wastes and fuel crops). These energy sources are considered renewable because they are continuously replenished on the Earth.In addition, mobile sources of air pollution—such as cars, trucks, trains and lawnmowers—also contribute to air pollution nationwide and are an important source of air pollution in many urban areas.Hydrogen EnergyUsing hydrogen energy could help address many concerns facing our nation and our world. We believe hydrogen can contribute to resolving these issues for these reasons:Firstly, hydrogen can be made from a variety of domestic feedstocks like water, biomass, coal and natural gas.Second, hydrogen is non-toxic（无毒的）, non-poisonous and will not contribute to groundwater pollution. It does not create "fumes" or other harmful emissions; in fact, using hydrogen in fuel cells produces only electricity and pure water.Furthermore, hydrogen is a key enabler for the development and more widespread implementation of renewable energy technologies, resulting in cleaner and more efficient products in the marketplace.Fifty million tons of hydrogen is produced each year worldwide, with nine million tons being consumed in the U.S. The challenge is to bring hydrogen into the everyday lives of customers as they begin to use hydrogen-powered vehicles and other applications.Geothermal EnergyOur earth's interior—like the sun—provides heat energy from nature. This heat—geothermal energy—yields warmth and power that we can use without polluting the environment. Geothermal heat originates from Earth's fiery consolidation of dust and gas over 4 billion years ago. At earth's core—4,000 miles deep—temperatures may reach over 9,000 degrees F.Solar EnergySunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. After the 1973 oil embargo（禁运）, there was a resurgence（复苏，波动再起）of interest in solar energy. Faced with a possibility of scarce oil resources, the United States government allocated $400 million per year, from a mere $1 million per year, for solar energy research. The expenditure is small compared to the expenditure on nuclear research. Currently, there is a need for allocating increased resources in solar research. Compared to the old forms of reducible energy (coal, oil, nuclear), solar energy offers a clean renewable form of energy. This presentation will provide an overview of the past, present and future of solar energy.Wind EnergyWe have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years. From old Holland to farms in the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's modern equivalent—a wind turbine（涡轮机）—can use the wind's energy to generate electricity.Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind. Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades. Usually, two or three blades are mounted on a shaft to form a rotor（旋转部分，旋转器）.A blade acts much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade. The low-pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift. The force of the lift is actually much stronger than the wind's force against the front side of the blade, which is called drag. The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller, and the turning shaft spins a generator to make electricity.Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid（蓄电池电极板）or even combined with a photovoltaic（光电的）(solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually builtclose together to form a wind plant. Several electricity providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers.Ocean Energy BasicsThe ocean can produce two types of energy: thermal energy from the sun's heat, and mechanical energy from the tides and waves.Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface, making them the world's largest solar collectors. The sun's heat warms the surface water a lot more than the deep ocean water, and this temperature difference creates thermal energy. Just a small portion of the heat trapped in the ocean could power the world.Ocean thermal energy is used for many applications, including electricity generation. There are three types of electricity conversion systems: closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid（混合的）. Closed-cycle systems use the ocean's warm surface water to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low-boiling point, such as ammonia（氨）. The vapor expands and turns a turbine. The turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. Open-cycle systems actually boil the seawater by operating at low pressures. This produces steam that passes through a turbine/generator. And hybrid systems combine both closed-cycle and open-cycle systems.Ocean mechanical energy is quite different from ocean thermal energy. Even though the sun affects all ocean activities, tides are driven primarily by the gravitational pull of the moon, and waves are driven primarily by the winds. As a result, tides and waves are intermittent（间歇的，断断续续的）sources of energy, while ocean thermal energy is fairly constant. Also, unlike thermal energy, the electricity conversion of both tidal and wave energy usually involves mechanical devices.1.Renewable energy has no environmental impact.a. True.b. False.c.
