Each passage is followed by 4questions or unfinished statements. For each of t
20、hem there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. You shouM decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage: The clean-energy business is turning into the next big investment boom, in which risks are lightly ignored. Until recen
21、tly, recalls Charlie Gay, a 30-year veteran of the solar power business, venture capitalists were far too busy catering to captains of the information-technology industry to waste time on “hippy-dippy tree-huggers“like himself. But now the tree-huggers are in the ascendant and the IT barons are busy
22、 investing in clean-energy technology. Investors are falling over themselves to finance start-ups in clean technology,especially in energy. Venture Business Research reckons that investment in the field by venture capitalists and private-equity firms has quadrupled in the past two years,from some $5
23、00 m in 2004 to almost $2 billion so far this year. The share of venture capital going into clean energy is rising rapidly. Clean-energy fever is being fuelled by three things: high oil prices, fears over energy security and a growing concern about global warming. The provision of energy, the indust
24、rys cheerleaders say, will change radically over the coming decades. Polluting coal and gas-fired power stations will give way to cleaner alternatives such as solar and wind; fuels derived from plants and waste will replace petrol and diesel; and small, local forms of electricity generation will rep
25、lace big power stations feeding far-flung grids. Eventually, it is hoped, fuel cells running on hydrogen will take the place of the internal combustion engine which is available everywhere. It is a bold vision, but even if it happens very slowly, or only to a limited extent, supporters argue that it
26、 will still prompt tremendous growth for firms in the business. Analysts confidently predict the clean-energy business will grow by 20 %-30 a year for a decade. Jefferies, an investment bank that organized a recent conference on the industry in London, asked participants how soon solar power would b
27、ecome competitive with old-fashioned generation technologies: in 2010, 2015 or 2020.About three-quarters of those present, one visitor happily observed, were“check-writers“. This “megatrend“, the keynote speaker advocated, “may be the biggest job and wealth-creation opportunity of the 21 st century.
28、“ Such exaggeration might remind people of the dotcom bubble. But clean-energy advocates insist growth is sustainable because of the likes Of Mr. Schwarzenegger.The Governor is a hero in green circles because of his enthusiasm for environmental regulation. He easily won reelection partly because he

34、rong as the chain announces the opening of its 50th location in Mexico, doubling the number of its operating locations there in 12 months. Kellys Heros presence in Mexico dates back to 1999, and now the market is the Philadelphia-based companys third largest in the world. “The development pace for K
35、ellys Hero in Mexico that we projected in 2004 is at full speed. And by gaining more than 25 new locations during one year, were telling the competition and investors that were hitting our targets and really mean business,“ says Kellys Heros Latin America regional director, Francis Mendes. “Everyone
36、 is proud of this accomplishment. It shows that anything is possible when a great team works together. And we expect the strong growth to continue.“ The milestone sandwich shop opened in the Mexico City district of Polanco and it is owned and operated by Kellys Hero franchisees Maura and Lucas Hendr
37、icks,who now own two Kellys Hero restaurants and have another under construction.The Hendricks chose to open a Kellys Hero restaurant because they frequented the chain while traveling and liked the food.

41、est and most influential proponents of the idea of continental drift was a German astronomer, meteorologist, and explorer named Alfred Wegener.In 1912 he advanced good arguments to support the idea that at one time there was no Atlantic Ocean. The Americas and Greenland were welded with Europe, Afri
42、ca, Australia and Antarctica into one large continent, Pangaea. His strongest argument seemed to be the remarkable similarity of the continental margins on opposite sides of the Atlantic. But he also looked at similarities in ancient geologic structures, fossil records, and ancient climates to suppo
43、rt his hypothesis. He pointed out that some unique geological structures in the Americas terminate abruptly in the Atlantic Ocean and then continue again on the other side of the Atlantic, as if the structures had formed when the continents were together and then were cleaved as the continents tore
44、apart. He showed that the fossil records on both sides of the Atlantic were similar up to about a hundred million years ago and then showed divergence, indicating that the continents had become isolated from each other at that time. Finally, by using fossils and sediments, he was able to demonstrate
45、 that ancient climates on both sides of the Atlantic were similar,although they were quite different from those presently found in the respective regions. Wegeners interesting ideas were too revolutionary to be easily accepted or seriously considered at the time. He died in 1930, more than two decad
46、es before further evidence forced reconsideration and eventual acceptance of his revolutionary way of looking at our world. （分数：4.00）(1).Wegeners ideas about continental drift are properly termed a “hypothesis“ (line9) because （分数：1.00）A.his written records state it as such.B.absolute proof did not

49、res.C.ancient data and recorded history.D.ancient climates on both sides of the Atlantic.(4).Based on information in the passage, we can see that acceptance of Wegeners 1912 theory was hindered by （分数：1.00）A.failure of the media to present his theory.B.his failure to document similarities on either side of the Atlantic.C.its own revolution in scientific thought.D.utter lack of interest from colleagues.Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: As more Americans do more t
