26、Most respected scientists agree that we need to find another source of energy- and quickly. If we continue to burn oil and pump carbon into the atmosphere, then the effects on global climate will lead to global disasters even before the oil disappear.
The British government has set a target of a 20 percent reduction in carbon emission by 2010. Central to this policy is the search for alternative, renewable forms of energy production---and this is where the serious disagreement among scientists begins.
Here, two people active in the debate about wind farms give their points of view.
Simon Shearman
“First, a few facts about wind power. Wind is one of the cheapest of the new, renewable forms of energy. It is extremely safe---no member of the public has ever been injured at a wind farm. The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe---ideal locations for wind farms and, by 2010, up to ten percent of the electricity used in the UK could be produced by wind power. I find it annoying and frustrating that the biggest objection that opponents of wind farms can come up with is that the crisis of global warming is real and something must be done urgently.”
Alice Evans
“The simple, obvious fact is that wind turbines(涡轮机) cannot generate electricity if the wind is too light or too strong and it often is. Many scientists estimate that wind turbines generally produce only 30 percent of their capacity(容量). This is not a reliable enough supply to enable us to close down conventional power stations. In fact, wind power can’t keep up with the growth of the demand for electricity, let alone replace other sources of power.”
It’s a topic that is causing heated debate around the country---but one we must address before it’s too late---before the oil runs out.
【1】Many scientists have different opinions on the search for a renewable energy because ______.
A. they think fossil fuels are everlasting.
B. British government’s target is not realistic.
C. they are not sure in finding the clean and renewable energy.
D. the technology is not advanced enough.
【2】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. there won’t be a global disaster before the world runs out of oil.
B. the British government wants people to use 20 percent less oil by 2010.
C. Alice Evans supports the idea of wind power.
D. Simon Shearman thinks Britain a particularly suitable place for wind farms.
【3】If we generate electricity with wind turbines, _______.
A. a light wind will do.
B. we cannot make full use of the capacity.
C. a strong wind will do
D. we’ll have enough electricity.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Wind power is a good solution to energy crisis.
B. We’re experiencing the oil crisis now.
C. We should find alternative energy for oil as soon as possible.
D. There is no need for us to worry about energy problem.
27、Have you ever heard that some animals can understand zero as well? Experiments with monkeys and birds have proven that they can master it. But now, the understanding of zero has been found in a most unlikely candidate (候选人): bees.
According to a recently published study in the journal Science, Australian and French researchers worked together to do experiments to prove that bees are the first insects (昆虫) to“understand that zero belongs at the lower end of a sequence (序列) of numbers ”, according to a report by Science Daily.
Scarlett Howard, a researcher at RMIT University in Melbourne, trained bees to choose from several cards with different numbers of shapes printed on them. Correctly choosing the card with the fewest shapes earned them a reward (回报) of sugar water. For example, the bees learned to choose three elements when given three versus four; or two elements when given two versus three. And then these bees were given a challenge - a card that was entirely plain and that they had never seen before. But 64 percent of the time, they chose to fly toward the plain card instead of the card that had shapes on it. This suggests that the insects understand that zero stands for something less than two or three, according to Science magazine.
The researchers said that the findings have opened a door to new understandings of how different brains understand zero. “If bees can understand zero with a brain of less than a million neurons (神经元) (compared with the 86, 000 million neurons of a human brain), it suggests there are simple and useful ways to teach AI new tricks.”
【1】What did the Australian and French researchers recently find?
A.Bees can tell different shapes.
B.Bees can understand the meaning of zero.
C.Bees arc better at numbers than monkeys and birds.
D.Most insects can be trained to understand numbers.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The process of the experiment.
B.The reason for the experiment.
C.The preparations for the experiment.
D.The result of the experiment.
【3】Why is the study important?
A.It proves that animals can understand what zero is.
B.It explains the importance of zero in modem maths.
C.It suggests bees can complete more difficult tasks.
D.It shows there might be easier ways to train AI.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Bees: An insect can make sense of zero
B.A new way to train bees how to perform
C.AI: A robot can play tricks
D.A new finding of creating AI with a simple brain
28、Whether it’s getting organized, or socializing with friends, summer is the best time to have loads of fun and prepare yourself for the next school year or the world beyond the classroom. 【1】 Therefore, make each day memorable in the following ways.
Get organized. Take time to clean your room. If you notice anything messy around your house, organize that, too. 【2】 Reduce your stress by sorting out the mess. You can store loose items in containers to help with organization and donate any old clothing that you may have grown out of to help someone in need.
Do some schoolwork. Some people have papers from school that are due by the end of summer. 【3】 You’ll be more likely to remember what you learned if you do a little each day instead of waiting until the end.
【4】 You can have a picnic in the park or along the beach with your friends. Lay out a big blanket and share snacks and drinks. Play some music on a radio or iPod to enjoy the afternoon. Another way is to cook a meal together. Find a recipe in a cookbook or online, and bake something with friends. Be sure to gather all of the ingredients first. Sometimes, cooking with friends is a recipe for disaster, but it always results in a great memory.
Learn a new skill. You can do that by taking courses online or taking a weekly class. Add to your knowledge by becoming fluent in a language, taking a dance class, or mastering a musical instrument. 【5】
A.Plan a picnic.
B.Make time for friends.
C.It can be whatever you make of it.
D.You will feel more relaxed when it is clean.
E.If you are in the mood, to improve academics, take action
F.There is nothing better than being appreciated for your talents.
G.One side effect of stress is the sudden increase of blood pressure.
29、Have you ever had trouble trying to choose a gift? Perhaps you need a birthday present for someone who is hard to please. How about clothing? You might be worried about choosing the wrong size, color or style. Books or DVDS? You may not know enough about the person’s likes, dislikes and interests. And giving money may not seem right. Well, how about a gift card?
A gift card is a card that is issued by a certain store. It’s worth a certain amount of money. It looks like a credit card (信用卡), but it actually works like cash. A gift-card holder can spend the amount of money noted on the card in the store that issued it. These cards are big money makers. One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they end up sending more money than the gift card is worthy. Unused cards are another big source of revenue (收益).
Gift cards are becoming extremely popular in many countries around the world. Why? People love the convenience—cards are easy to buy and easy to use, whether in the store or online, The receiver can select his or her own gift. And the giver doesn’t have to worry about finding just the right thing.
Receiving a gift car, however, is not the same as receiving a gift. An actual gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. It helps us appreciate the thought and effort that went into the choice. The message of a real gift is more likely to be, “I spent some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you.”
Often a gift card doesn’t pass on the same message as an actual gift. It may seem to say, “I was in a hurry. I didn’t have time to think about what you really like.” In today’s busy world, gift cards are certainly convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which is to build a closer bond (联系) between the gift-giver and the gift-receiver.
【1】The first paragraph is used to _______.
A. explain how use a gift card B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to choose a gift D. introduce the main topic
【2】What do we know about gift cards?

A. It is appreciated by the receivers.
B. It reminds people of their interests.
C. It shows the givers’ thought and effort.
D. It passes on more messages about the receivers.
【4】The last paragraph mainly talks about _______.
A. the relationship between the gift-giver and gift-receiver
B. the bond between gift cards and actual gifts
C. the real purpose of giving gifts
D. the disadvantage of gift cards
