biggest problems with the use of solar energy They call the device a solar tree Solar trees have metal branches which are just from a tall pole at different levels Each branch holds a solar panel These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space he says Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings This design makes the solar panels exposed more towards the sun he says And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent more energy India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production The country s promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years This has increased the possibility of applying solar trees in India Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi He says gaining access to land takes time and increases costs He adds that it is still not clear how 第 8 页 共 18 页 useful these new developments in solar power technology are Only when we put those trees on a large scale will we be able to get that answer he says 1 We may probably read this passage in A Culture Views B Nature and Science C Story Books D Travelling Guide Book 2 Compared the traditional system the main advantages of the solar tree is A we can see many branches in new solar tree B it surely produces more energy than traditional system C it s reducing India s more greenhouse gas production now D fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones 3 What does the underlined word this in the fourth paragraph refer to 指代 A greenhouse gas production B the solar panels C the falling cost of solar panels D country s promise 4 In the last paragraph what do you think of what Amit Kumar said A Solar trees have been used on a large scale to produce electricity B They won t increase land to plant solar trees C The new solar trees haven t been used on a large scale to produce electricity D The new solar power technology won t be useful 第 9 页 共 18 页 4 10 分 根据短文理解 完成下列各题 D Life is speeding up Everyone is getting unwell This may sound like something someone would say today

getting louder and louder Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work Now you have to stay up all night to get it done How happy do you feel Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities who have no telephones no car not even any electricity often seem to be happier Perhaps because they live a simpler live One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today The grandparents with their daughter and grandsons Benjamin 10 and Thomas 7 spent nine weeks in a 1940s house They had no washing machine microwave computer or mobile phones The grandmother Lyn said The more things you have the more difficult life
