(2015·江西省八所重点中学高三联考)Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome. Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it，” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye，” said a family member.And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.“If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place，” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.Also, Brown is “not brain dead，” as has been reported.And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting，” says our source.文章大意：本文主要讲Kristina病危，几家报社的报道都失真，一家人仍在祈祷出现奇迹。

For the last few years, investors in China’s coal section have been mining a rich seam（煤层)。

From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2011, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81％, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy。

But as any miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam，the more difficult it is to get value. China’s coal prices have fallen nearly 10％in the last three months。

A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical （周期性的）slowdown brought about by China's slowing construction and money tightening，is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices.In 2008, China’s 60 biggest miners the efficient excellence s from asection with 9,000—plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production。

(2013·西安市标准化考练，C)On a visit to Japan, Wangari Maathai learned the story of the hummingbird (蜂鸟) and the forest fire. While the other animals run in fear, the hummingbird flies above the fire time and again, leaving a few drops of water from its beak.“Why do you bother？”the other animals shout at the hummingbird. “I'm doing the best that I can，”the hummingbird replies.“It's such a beautiful story，”Ms. Maathai says, thinking of the world's environmental problems. “There's always something we can do with our little beak like the little hummingbird.”In 2004 Maathai was honored with a Nobel Peace Prize for her work founding the Green Belt Movement (GBM), which hires villagers, especially women, to improve the environment. Since then, she's realized that people's values are what inspire them. If the values are good ones, good actions will follow.“If you don't have good values, you'll develop vices (恶劣行径)，”says Maathai. “And if we give in to the vice, we destroy ourselves. We destroy the environment.” That's the message of her new book.In 1971, Maathai received a doctor's degree from the University of Nairobi, the largest university in Kenya. She's now back in her homeland beginning work on the Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies (WMI) at the University of Nairobi. “They want to call it after me，”she says.WMI will pay more attention to “learning by doing” and use knowledge to deal with real problems. “What Africa needs is people who are willing to get their fingers dirty and work with the people，”says Maathai.Planting trees is one way people connect with the natural world. She continues to inspire others. “There is no lasting peace until we have peace with the earth itself，”she says.文章大意：本文是一篇报道。

AFor families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture，from the setup of the park to the ways families interact.Here are the designs that live up to that challenge.Fruit and Scent Playground, StockholmIs there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden’s Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary(烹饪的)tune. This playground features a banana slide，an orange seesaw，pear huts，a1/ 20watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings，all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now, who can say you can’t play with your food?Nishi Rokugo Park, TokyoLocated between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires(橡胶轮胎)with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of co urse, tire swings. There’s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.Bicentennial Children’s Park, Santiago, ChileBicentennial Children’s pla yground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary(互为补充的)of the surrounding landscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to relax.21. What can be learned about Fruit and Scent Playground?2/ 20A. It is located in Tokyo, Japan.B. Its design was led by someartists.C. It is aimed at balanci ng people’s diet.D. Its facilities are modeled after fruits.22. When visiting Nishi Rokugo Park, it is better to________.A. wear thick protective clothesB. avoid moments when it’s hotC. take umbrellas and raincoatsD. watch out for the equipment23. Why does the author rec ommend Bicentennial Children’s Park?A. It becomes part of the surr oundings.B. It was built to improve people’s lives.C. It amuses kids and helps parents get r elaxed.D. It provides slides for both children and adults.BIn agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe,“you’d want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you’d go back to work,”says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the Uni versity of the Pacific.“Later, at 5 or6, you’d have a smaller supper.”3/ 20This comfortable c ycle, in which the rhythms of the dayhelped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family.“Me als are the foundation of the family,”says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to great er variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Ita ly. It’s no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smallerdinner came a small snack. Today, when t ime zones have less4/ 20and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices’ closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can’t make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together.“The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,”says Counihan.24. What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together?A. It was helpful to maintaining a nation’s tradition.B. It brought family members closer to each other.C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.25. What does“cultural metabolism”(Line 1, Para. 3) refer to?A. Evolutionary adaptation.B. Changes in lifestyle.C. Social progress.D. Pace of life.26. What does the author think of the food people eat today?A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.D. Its production depends too much on technology.5/ 2027. What does the author say about Italians of the old days?A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.C. They ate three meals regularly every day.D. They were expert at cooking meals.CYou can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair – not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.Can hai r record this information? That’s what James R.6/ 20Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.28. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?A. They are classified by size.B. Each type of them differs in weight.C. They can improve the quality of tap water.D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.29. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?A. People use the same bottled water.7/ 20B. People wash their hair in different ways.C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.D. People’ hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.30. The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.A. how to recognize criminalsB. how to collect hair samplesC. the usefulness of hair analysisD. the process of Ehleringer’s study31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Water compositionB. Change your hairC. Hair detectivesD. No way outDThe term “to extend an olive(橄榄) branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical(圣经的)origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and8/ 20they continue to be used in various works of art that are meantto suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻)for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also beimportant on a personal leve l, as resolving conflict and learning9/ 20to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.32. According to the Bible, _________.A. an olive branch suggests flood is comingB. the ark is made of olive tree woodC. an olive branch means flood is overD. a dove loves to settle on the olive branch33. The olive is considered a good choice as a metaphor for peace for the following reasons EXCEPT _______ .A. olive trees famously take years to matureB. olive branches make people tired of warC. war is typically very hard on the treesD. people cannot take the time to nurture them while at war34. Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modern times?A. Olive trees are being protected now.10/ 20B. Olive trees are planted only in certain countries.C. Olive trees can be far to seek.D. There is no need to use real olive branches.35. It can be learned from the text that to extend an olive branch________.A. is not important on a personal levelB. is only important between nationsC. takes a lot of courageD. is an important life skill in many cultures第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies。

Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public，and then they have sold audiences to advertisers。

An attraction of sport programs for the major U。

S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs，especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming。

Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports。

重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（128)（附解析）阅读理解。

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商）follow certain uniform standards for various features（特征) of clothes。

What seems strange，however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men。

Take a look at the way your clothes button。

Men’s clothes tend to button from the right，and women's from the left。

Considering most of the world’s population—-——men andwomen---—are right-handed，the men’s standard would appear to make more se nse for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here。

Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right—handed servants，having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier。

(2013·西安市标准化考练，D)Up to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats.The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the community about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.文章大意：本文是一篇调查报告。

The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics，as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas。

These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra（代数)and beyond。

The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic。

They also look into exponents（指数），the order of operations，and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations，students discover why these operations work，how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics，and how these operations can be used practically。

Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense" of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening。

On Tuesday 29 MayBI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same dge.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They han similar charactertics.26.

What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The wehicle-named the Transition – has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.TheTransition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck intraffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted z&xxkthe company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety siandards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.C. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causers traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the govemment’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening? Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the table s are turned .The attacker who are natural enemies to the attackers . Once they arrive,the table s are turned.The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps theneighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by “the table s are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table .C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary35. what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（120)（附解析）阅读理解。

An “apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment。

It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it。

All sorts of people are “apple polishers”, including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody。

Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader，offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party，but failed。

There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “applepolishing”—“softsoaping”or “butteringup”。

A gift is just one way to “softsoap”somebody，or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery，giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks，or how talented and wise he is。

Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is。

(2013·临沂市三模，D)Maps of the world's population show that the majority of people today live near water. We live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands. We also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water.More surprisingly, this human favor for water makes evolutionary(进化的)sense. Sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from what's swimming under the waves.Neuroscientist Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains.Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes(类人猿)and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish, clams and crabs. That seafood was packed with omega3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth.It's no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood. Biochemist Hibbelin of the National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is a direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interestingly, Hibbelin and researcher Laura have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.We know that fish and the sea are good for us, and so we seek them out. We vacation on the coast and see the waves come and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. When we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy.文章大意：这是一篇说明文。

重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编(78) 含解析

重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（78）（附解析）（2017高考训练)阅读理解.You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy （嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship。

When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that ther e is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that。

Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的）, just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you。

(2014·江西八校联考)The forces that make Japan one of the world’s most earthquakeprone (有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its long-term energy solution.Water from deep below the ground at Japan’s tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it，its use is limited in the nation.“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji，a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production.The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11,2011 caused a reaction against atomic power，which previously made up 30 percent of Japan’s energy needs，and increased interest in alternative energies，which accounted for only 8 percent.Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy，following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan’s potentially best sites are alread y being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“We can’t even dig 10 cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric，adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，“Producing electricity using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”The Earth Policy Institute in Washington，US，believed Japan could produce 80 000 megawatts (兆瓦) and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology，with a 70 percent market share.In 2010，Fuji Electric built the world’s largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.1．What would be the best title for the text?A．Alternative energies in JapanB．World’s largest geothermal plantC．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technologyD．Japan thinks of geothermal energy2．What percentage of Japan’s energy needs is geothermal energy?A．About 8%.B．Below 1%.C．Around 30%.D．Over 80%.3．According to Shigeto Yamada，the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs________.A．a change of rules B．financial supportC．local people’s help D．high technology4．Geothermal energy is considered as a long-term program by________.A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji B．Hideaki MatsuiC．Shigeto Yamada D．Yoko Ono5．It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that________.A．the world’s biggest geothermal plant was built by AmericaB．Japan will not export its geothermal technologyC．the potential of Japan’s geothermal energy is greatD．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan语篇解读本文为一篇科普说明文。
