25、ough 45. 41 To get some idea of the amount of heat the sun gives off, think about this. If you could collect all the heat that hits the earth in a two-week period, it would equal the amount of all other known sources and reserves of energy: Wood, coal and oil. But even these sources of energy depend
26、 on the sun for their formation. For example, a tree would certainly never grow and provide fuel in the form of wood were it not for the sun. Because the sun is so important in the production of all forms of heating fuel, more and more time and money are being spent studying ways to change power fro
27、m the sun directly into a form of heat. The process currently in use for collecting energy from the sun-known as solar energy-is quite simple. The sunlight hits a metal plate known as a flat-plate collector and the plate absorbs the heat front the sun. This heat, in turn, heats a liquid inside the p
28、late. A layer of fiber-glass inside the plate helps prevent this heat from escaping. In this way, solar heat can be stored in a liquid solution equalling about 1,000 watts of electricity per square meter. In the 1960s, a solar furnace was installed in the Pyreness Mountains of France to test the use
29、 of solar energy. In this furnace, a mirror is used to concentrate the suns heat. This concentrated heat keeps temperature in the furnace as high as 6,000 F. 41 How does the amount of heat the sun gives off in two weeks compare with all other known sources and reserves of energy? ( A) More. ( B) Les
30、s. ( C) As much as. ( D) About the same. 42 What have the scientists been studying? ( A) Ways to change solar energy directly into electricity. ( B) Ways to change solar energy into a form of solid. ( C) Ways to change solar energy into a form of heat. ( D) Ways to change solar energy into a form of
31、 liquid. 43 What can be inferred from the passage? ( A) The sun gives off countless heat. ( B) The tree could grow without the sun, but not very well. ( C) People try to change solar energy into cooking fire. ( D) The suns temperature can be as high as 6,000F. 44 What is Not True about the solar ene
32、rgy in this passage? ( A) The amount of heat the sun gives off is very great. ( B) The process currently in use for collecting energy from the sun is not complex. ( C) Solar heat is vitally important for all forms of life. ( D) Solar heat can only be used, but not stored. 45 What is the passage main
33、ly talking about? ( A) The usefulness of solar energy. ( B) Solar energy and its transformation into heat. ( C) How can solar energy be stored. ( D) How can solar energy be made to serve man.
