CWhen temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat es from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a pany called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement onU.S.roads.According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nations asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesnt produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.TheU.S.government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned abouttheir project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the worlds ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.28. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _.A. is too heavy to carryB. has a high temperatureC. is powered by an engineD. is environmentally-friendly29. Whats theU.S.governments attitude towards the Brusaws plan now?A. Worried. B. Doubtful.C. Interested. D. Supportive.30. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Advantages of sunlightB. Better choice for your feetC. Power from the streetsD. Finding more future energyDMost people will recognize Bill Clinton, ex-president of theUnited States. Bill Clinton is a very popular speech giver and regularly gives talks all over the world, to many different audiences. He is so effective at giving talks because he has a special quality which we call “charisma (魅力)”.Nowadays,psychologists (心理学家)are being very interested in charisma and want to describe its meaning in a better way. People often misunderstand what charisma is and think of it as a kind of fame, but it is not the same as fame. Charisma is a kind of magic and is relatively rare. A well-known American psychologist thinks that charismatic people are basically excellent municators. However, they have other qualities such as self-confidence, eloquence (口才) and vision.Charismatic personalities are able to draw people to them, and people feel happy in their pany. There is a sense of “togetherness” when a charismatic person is with other people. A good example of this ability, some say, is the famous American, Oprah Winfrey. She is a highly-successful businesswoman and is probably best known as the presenter of a very popular talk show. Oprah is able to relate to audiences at her shows and they respond well to her. Her charismatic personality has made her one of the richest women in the world. She owns several houses and publishes her own magazines. Presently, she is presenting a new series of theOprah Winfrey Show. She also runs a book club, which influences the nations reading habits and may be one of the reasons why people are reading more these days in theUSA.A woman who had extraordinary charisma was the film star, Marilyn Monroe. A beautiful woman and a talented (有天赋的) actress, she was always the centre of attention wherever she went.Unlike fame, charisma doesnt disappear over time. Even now, more than fifty years after her death, when young people seeMonroein her films, her charisma seems as fresh and powerful as ever.32. Bill Clinton is good at giving talks because _.A. he has a quality called charismaB. he was once president of theUSAC. he has many fans that support himD. he is well-known all over the world33. According to the text, charismatic people _.A. are all effective speech makersB. are all confident and successfulC. can easily attract and interest peopleD. often try to create a calm atmosphere34. What do we know about Oprah Winfrey?A. She is most famous as a magazine publisher. B. She often gives talks to American young people.C. She has a happy relationship with her audiences.D. She writes books to influence Americans reading habits.35. The author mentions the popularity of Marilyn Monroe to show that _.A. fame is as important as charismaB. famous people always have charismaC. charisma doesnt bee weaker over timeD.Monroeis an extraordinarily talented actress第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Even if you know that working out(锻炼) will make you feel great, it can still be hard to motivate yourself to get up and do it.
