And some of our modern solutions are not so new, either. T

26、he problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar energy go back at least to early Greek cultures. The climate in the coastal areas of Greece 2,500 years ago was characterized by cool winters, much as it is today. At that time, the Greeks heated their homes with small, charcoal-burning

27、heaters. In other words, wood (which is used to make charcoal) was their primary source of energy. However, by the fifth century B C fuel shortages had become common be- cause, in many parts of Greece, the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of fire- wood from the local forest

28、s ran out, people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But this solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop, a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth century B C, the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farthe

29、r away, making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. About this time the Greeks began to build their houses facing south, so that the low sun in winter could penetrate and help heat the interiors. Excavations of ancient Greek cities suggest that large areas were planned so that indi

30、vidual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy.（分数：12.00）(1).The word “depleted“ means _ .（分数：3.00）A.damagedB.stolenC.used upD.discovered(2).According to the passage, _ .（分数：3.00）A.using wood from the olive groves in ancient Greece was a sensible solution to the fuel problemB.usin

31、g passive solar energy was more expensive than using wood in ancient GreeceC.the ancient Greeks planted new forests to replace the ones they cut down for firewoodD.the concept of using passive solar energy has been around since at least the fourth century B C(3).The author implies that before the fi

32、fth century B C, _ .（分数：3.00）A.the climate was much milder in the coastal areas of GreeceB.the Greeks were very careful to replant their forests after they cut themC.the Greeks were not concerned about conserving their energy sourcesD.olives were not an important resource to the Greeks(4).Which sent

33、ence best expresses the central point of the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Sentence 1.B.Sentence 2.C.Sentence 3.D.Sentence 4.BPassage Four/BA few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasnt much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the hea

34、ds of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are bes

35、ieged (包围) by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street.When Im in New York, Im a New Yorker. I dont turn either. Like the natives.At home in my little town in Connecti

36、cut, its different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if Im seated and brings me to the window if Im in bed.Its the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred

37、yards away through three closed doors. Ive been hearing little creaking noises and. sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty- five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?（分数：12.00）(1).The sound of a coin dropping makes peop

39、s sounds that do not exist.B.He overstates quiet sounds.C.He thinks taps should be turned off.D.He believes its rather quiet at night.(4).How does the writer feel about sounds in general?（分数：3.00）A.They make him feel at home.B.He thinks they should be ignored.C.He believes they are part of our lives

40、D.He prefers silence to loud noises.BPassage Five/BHow many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we wil

41、l never see. We wont see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the Umysterious/U dead stars called black holes.As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and

42、begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packe

43、d together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the for

44、ce called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness.So remember: Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.（分数：12.
