they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins. people in california love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”, but people in california seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. power plants mostly use fire to make it. aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. generators are fueled by somethingusually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. there are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. in other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. its just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. it is not. its as if the california greens are covering their eyes“if i cant see it, its not happening. ”gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. but when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heatat the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. . a gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. but the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as farso electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. if our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. but for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources. in addition, electric carsbatteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. when its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot. 51. what does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2? a. people are seeing the california greens everywhere. b. people in california love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles. c. people in california love to have their roofs covered with solar cells. d. people there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc. . 52. what is the main idea of the passage? a. electric cars are not clean at all. b. electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones. c. people cast doubts on electric cars batteries. d. gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle. 53. according to the passage, electric cars _. a. do not burn fuel and are more environment-friendlyb. are poisonous because it is difficult for nature to clean the garbage up when their batteries are buried in one spotc. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentratedd. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill54. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationb. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingc. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentd. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins（b） we all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? some people are trying to do their best to be more environmentally friendly. some people suggest recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass in daily life. they use reusable products instead of disposable(一次性的)ones. however, more people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprintthe amount of carbon they use. they try to reduce their carbon emissions(排放物) by cycling, using public transport or living green. recently some undergraduates of fujian university of technology built their green living paper buildings. on may 10, 2011, ten engineering majors in this school made their unique house (a football-like paper building), which took less energy, during a “low emission, green living”campaign. the campaign, which was initiated by the architecture department of fujian university of technology, inspires students to use creativity to design and build a green building in the square of the school within 24 hours. competitors had to live inside their buildings for one night. the competition attracted over two hundred entries（参赛项目）from students, and 22 pieces of work, with the shapes of a star, football, and pyramid finally staged in the grounds. while sitting inside the football-like paper house, the team leader of the competition group smiled and told us that the building had large enough space inside. the amazing house drew much attention and received high praise from students and teachers. he also said the inspiration for the design came from the beauty of motion in a football match. these unique houses appeal to people to build housing projects specifically as environmentally friendly as possible to reduce the carbon emission. 55. what is the text mainly about? a. the environment is becoming worse and we should protect it. b. the beauty of football moving made ten students design a football-like house. c. houses should also be environmentally friendly to reduce the carbon emission. d. the campaign called “low emission, green living” took place in shanghai university. 56.the house made by ten engineering majors was different from others because _ . a. it had a football-like shape and was made of paperb. it took more energy than a common housec. it had much more space than a common housed. it looked like a star and neednt building materials57. this campaign in fujian university of technology aimed to _. a. teach students to build their own houses for livingb. make people build environmentally friendly housesc. encourage students to think of new ways to build a green housed. ask the students to recycle paper, tin, plastic and glass in daily life58. the underlined word “initiated” in paragraph 3 possibly means _. a. copiedb. steppedc. startedd. held（c） the worlds astronomers came to their senses yesterday and approved a new definition of the word “planet” that would drop tiny pluto from the club and relegate it instead to a lesser realm of “dwarf planets”. it was a welcome step away from a proposal that would have kept pluto as a planet but meantime opened the door for dozens of small, icy bodies on the fringes of the solar system. the important vote came after fierce debate at a meeting of the international astronomical union, which had been considering a proposal to define a planet as any object that orbits a star and is large enough for its own gravity to pull it into a spherical (球形的) shape. that definition was scientifically precise but led to results that offended common sense. an asteroid, a small moon, and another icy ball like pluto would suddenly have risen to planet-hood, swelling the number of planets to 12, with many more icy rocks likely to qualify as more was learned about them. fortunately, the astronomers have now added another requirement to the definition. planets must not only be large enough to be round, they must also have cleared out the neighborhood around their orbits. pluto would not qualifyit orbits in a belt of icy debris on the edge of the solar system. neither would an icy rock nicknamed xena, which orbits in that same zone, nor ceres, a big asteroid that marches in the company of other asteroids. plutos moon, charon, which had qualified under the first proposal, is also out of the running. pluto, with its small size and oddball orbit, should never have been deemed a planet in the first place. henceforth there will be eight planets, at least three dwarf planets, and tens of thousands of “smaller solar system bodies, ”like comets and asteroids. our only regret is that the astronomers chose the name“dwarf planets” for plutos new category instead of abandoning the word entirely when discussing these less-than-planetary bodies. 59. we can know from the passage that the new definition of planet _. a. has been welcomed by all walks of lifeb. will kick the pluto out of the planet group in the solar systemc. still makes the pluto as a planetd. will enlarge the number of planets in our solar system into permanently 1260. after the new definition of “planet” was put forward, all of the following are regarded as planet except _. a. venusb. ceresc. marsd. jupiter 61. if the original definition of “planet” had not been changed, there would be the following consequences except that _. a. thousands of icy rocks in space will be classified as planetsb. some asteroids big enough to pull themselves into a spherical shape will be regarded as planetsc. the pluto will be relegated to “dwarf planet”d. there will be at least twelve or even more planets in the solar system62. we can infer from the article that the decision to apply new definition to “planet” _. a. has won universal support from scientistsb. has been severely criticized by many astronomersc. has not been made inconsideratelyd. has been banned by the international astronomical union（d） the trouble with europe is that it is so diverse (多样化的). there are many different cultures, from german and french composers(作曲家) to english and irish poets, from french film directors and italian tenors (男高音) to swiss bankers and clockmakers. when we move into the world of politics, it is equally difficult for european leaders to see eye to eye. when european leaders got together at their recent summit meeting in brussels, belgium, to discuss the european debt crisis, there were bitter exchanges of words. president nicolas sarkozy of france turned on david cameron to tell him that he was fed up with the british prime ministers constant criticism (批评) of the euro. sarkozy told him: “you lost a good opportunity to shut up. we are sick of you criticizing us and telling us what to do. you say you hate the euro and now you want to interfere (干涉) in our meeting. ”this was a reference to the way the uk has stayed outside the eurozone and held on to its own currency, the pound. take a look at history. for centuries, france, britain, spain, portugal
