This can be realized when we remember that one pound of coal burned in the furnace of a power station 51 raise enough steam to drive a generator 52 will produce enough current (电流) to light a one-bar-electric fire for three hours. On the other hand. If all the energy in the atoms of a pound of coal could be released,53 should be enough energy to 54 all the machinery in all the factories in Britain for a month.In simpler words, all this means that one pound of any element or compound of elements, if completely converted 55 energy by breaking up the atoms, would 56 the same amount of heat 57 the burning of 1,500,000 tons of coal. Scientists have calculated that if a bucket of sand from the beach could be completely 58 into energy, and if the energy so obtained was used to drive electric generators, enough 59 would be produced to supply the whole of Europe for five years. 60 other words, a bucket of sand contains enough energy to 61 a thousand million pounds’ worth of electricity.Albert Einstein was the first man to realize the vast 62 of energy locked in the atom. Einstein was also the first to show in theory how the energy of the atom might be released. Indeed without Einstein’s theory,63 was the result of many complicated mathematical calculations, there would never have been any practical 64 of nuclear power.In 1905, which was many years before other scientists really understood a great deal about atomic energy, Einstein declared that if you “destroyed” a given mass of matter, you would obtain65 its place an enormous amount of energy. 66 support this theory, Einstein worked 67 what is probably the most important equation in the history of mathematics. It was 68 no means a complicated equation, but in fact a very simple 69 . Here it is :E=MC2 .Turned into simple language, Einstein’s equation means that energy (E) is equal70 mass (M) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared (C2) .Part IV Reading Comprehension (20%)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences:(71) In the search for low-cost, energy efficient homes, builder David Easton, has come up with an idea which was used by the French and the Chinese, among others, hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The technique is based on pounding earth from the site of the house into rock-hard walls. To this, Easton adds current concepts(概念) of energy conservation.(72) The houses are cheap because earth is a free material. They are energy-efficient because of natural insulation(绝热). Easton adds a sod (草皮) roof to his houses and chooses sited (地点) which take advantage of the sun and cooling breeze so that heaters or air-conditioning are not needed.(73) Engineered to meet California state seismic (地震的) requirements, the house are constructed of 14-inch walls, using the earth from the site mixed with 7 percent cement as a binding (粘合的) force. This mixture (混合物) , which is called terracrete, is poured into free-standing wooden panels (板) and pounded into a firm wall. Additional strength is gained by pouring six columns of concrete between each pair of panels and securing the corners of walls with steel bolts (栓). When the terracrete has hardened ( 使变硬) , the wooden panels are removed. The result is a solid, dark-brown wall.The houses are very simple. Slab (平板) floors and exposed (暴露的) beams are added, and the houses are all one-story, (74) Long, overhanging eaves (屋檐) add a rustic (乡村的) touch and protect the walls from water damage. Because they are built from natural materials, Easton believes that his houses are warm, comfortable, and friendly laces to live.The solid walls are natural insulators (绝热体); they keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has to be heated in winter but retains that heat well. In addition, the site of the house is important. Windows opened in the summer should attract cool air currents from outside, providing natural fresh circulation (循环). In spring and fall, the house should catch as much sunlight as possible.(75) The walls keep the heat during the day and release (释放) it in the evening to keep the house warm.71.72.73.74.75.--------------------------------------密--------------------------------------封------------------------------线----------------------------------------。
