forces that make japan one of the worlds most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.water from deep below the ground at japans tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.although japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.“japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said yoshiyasu takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.the disastrous earthquake and tsunami on march 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of japans energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.artist yoko ono has called on japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.for now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.the biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.another problem is that japans potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“we cant even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said shigeto yamada of fuji electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.researcher hideaki matsui said, “producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project.we also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”the earth policy institute in washington, the us, believed japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.japanese giants such as toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share.in 2010, fuji electric built the worlds largest geothermal factory in new zealand.1what would be the best title for the text?aalternative

japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.”可知，日本地热能不到1%，主要依赖于化石燃料和原子能。故选b项。3a细节理解题。从倒数第四段“adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.”可知，要开发地热能需要将现行的规章制度进行改变，故选a项。4b细节理解题。从“researcher hideaki matsui said，producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project”可知，hideaki matsui 认为地热能是个长期的项目，故选b项。5c推理判断题。从最后两段可知，日本在地热能方面有着巨大的潜力，故选c项。【2014高考英语广东省中山市华侨中学二模试题】a阅读理解（共20小题；每小2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a

dorothy in the early 1980s, when i was teaching early childhood development through a program with union college in barbourville, kentucky. the job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.dorothy taught in a school in harlan county, kentucky, appalachian mountain area. to get to her school from the town of harlan, i followed a road winding around the mountain. in the eight-mile journey, i crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, i found it depressing. the poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.from the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. upon arriving at dorothys classroom, i was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. the children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). in case you dont know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. her enthusiasm never cooled down. when it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her child development associate certification, dorothy was ready. she came to the assessment and passed in all areas. afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her ph. d. degree. after the meal, she
