25、by the terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. ArjunMakhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said
26、 there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since nineteen seventy-nine. That was when Americas wors
27、t nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven
28、 nuclear power centers while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear reactors(反应堆
29、). And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved
30、 issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran. 56We can learn from the text that America_Aexperienced a terrible nuclear accident 32 years agoBhas a strong program to deal with radiation dangerCdepends heavily on nuclear energy to produce ele
31、ctricityDwill check all the reactors before cooperating with India57According to the text, which country will be most likely to have a similar disaster?AGermanBIranCIndiaDChina58How does the author seem to feel about the future of nuclear energy?ASatisfiedBPleasedCWorriedDSurprised59The best title o
32、f the text is _AVarious Opinions on Japans Nuclear Disaster BJapans Disaster is Likely to Run out of Control CAmerica Feels Great Concern for Japans Nuclear CrisisDJapans Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy IndustryBWith eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the tr
33、avel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesnt necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habit
34、ats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part of all their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hot
35、els that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario ResortSpa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “gree
36、n” vacation package(一揽子计划) where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, theyre part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green
37、is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, its also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or
38、 not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesnt matter so much as its good for the planet.60. The underlined part in the first paragraph means _.A. lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling.B. romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels.C. people choos

50、OK.DSometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer
51、 to do it for you?Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence(SETI)project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove tha
52、t life exists on other planets.Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often kn
53、own as “meta-computing”.It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It sh
54、ows that they understand the potential of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games.Meta-computing may also be creating intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different par
55、ts of the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their computer will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.68. According to the writer, meta-computing
56、 may be creating intelligence _. A. because human beings are intelligent B. because a computer works as the brain doesC. because of a network of many computers D. because of the number of computers69. Which of the following shows the order in which the SETI network works?A. Radio telescopeSETI websi

The passage mainly tells us about _.A. a new way to work on the computer B. a new way to work and play gamesC. a new way to search for life outside the earth D. a new way to make life interesting and differentEScientists have found th
59、at human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They
60、 looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japans Okinawa District. They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260
61、kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas.
62、The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. Thats why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amo
63、unts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term e
64、xposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.72. You would most likely find the article in _.A. a
65、doctors diary B. a travel journal C. a medical magazineD. a physics textbook73. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesnt harm them at all.C. Most people know t
66、hat UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.74. The underlined word sunscreen in Paragraph 5 most probably means _.A. sunglasses B. sunhat C. suncream D. sunburn75. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. Never
67、 ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D.
