And some of our modern solutions are not so new, either. The problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar e
19、nergy 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 heaters. In other words, wood(which is used to make charcoal)was
20、 their primary source of energy. However, by the fifth century BC fuel shortages had become common because, in many parts of Greece, the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of firewood from the local forests ran out, people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But
21、this solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop, a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth century BC, the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farther away, making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. Ab
22、out 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 individual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy.29 The
23、 word “depleted“ means_.（A）damaged（B） stolen（C） used up（D）discovered30 According to the passage, _.（A）using wood from the olive groves in ancient Greece was a sensible solution to the fuel problem（B） using passive solar energy was more expensive than using wood in ancient Greece（C） the ancient Greek
24、s planted new forests to replace the ones they cut down for firewood（D）the concept of using passive solar energy has been around since at least the fourth century BC31 The author implies that before the fifth century BC, _.（A）the climate was much milder in the coastal areas of Greece（B） the Greeks w
25、ere very careful to replant their forests after they cut them（C） the Greeks were not concerned about conserving their energy sources（D）olives were not an important resource to the Greeks32 Which sentence best expresses the central point of the passage?（A）Sentence 1.（B） Sentence 2.（C） Sentence 3.（D）S
26、entence 4.32 A 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 heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin
27、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 besieged(包围)by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire
28、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 Connecticut, its different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if Im
29、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 yards away through three closed doors. Ive been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns i
30、nto footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?33 The sound of a coin dropping makes people_.（A）think of money（B） look at each other（C） pay attention to it（D）stop crossing the street34 People in New York_.（A）dont care ab
31、out emergencies（B） are used to alarm（C） are attracted by sounds（D）dont hear loud noises35 How does the author relate to sounds at night?（A）He imagines 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.36 How does
32、the writer feel about sounds in general?（A）They make him feel at home.（B） He thinks they should be ignored.（C） He believes they are part of our lives.（D）He prefers silence to loud noises.36 How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, an
33、d thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will 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 mysterious de
34、ad 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 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
35、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 packed 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 h
36、ole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jumpthe force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everythingeven light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That
37、s why you see nothing but blackness.So remember; Scattered in the silent darkness are black holesthe great mystery of space.37 According to the article, what causes a star to die?（A）As its gases run out, it cools down.（B） It collides with other stars.（C） It can only live for about a million years.（D

39、40 Why cant you see light when you look at a black hole?（A）Because most black holes are so far away.（B） Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.（C） Because as the stars gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.（D）Because as a star cools, its outer layers
40、 pull in toward its center.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
