buildings with solar panels for decades But plants are the real experts they ve been using 41 as an energy source for billions of years Cells in the green leaves of plants work 42 tiny factories to convert sunlight carbon dioxide and water into sugars and starches stored energy that the plants can use this conversion process is called photosynthesis 光合作用 Unfortunately 43 you re a plant it s difficult and expensive to convert sun light into 44 energy That s why scientists are taking a closer look at exactly how plants do it In a world with increasing energy needs researchers are always looking for new ways to power everything from cars to computers 45 putting more stress on the environment That s another reason why scientists are so interested in solar power it doesn t pollute the air water or land And since the sun lights and warms the entire planet the ability to harness its energy could provide a clean energy 46 for everyone The main sources of energy that people use today are called fossil fuels such as natural gas oil and coal Unfortunately the supply of fossil fuel is 47 Once we use all the coal and oil in the Earth they re gone for good The sun on the other hand is a 48 energy source No matter how we tap it for energy the sun will be around at least for the next few billion years There s another problem with 49 fossil fuels pollution The ideal energy sources of the future will be clean they won t produce carbon dioxide and other gases that pollute the environment as fossil fuels do III Reading Comprehension Section A Directions For each blank in the

Directions Read the following passage Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A Tui Na and Your Emotional Health In Traditional Chinese Medicine the body mind and spirit cannot be divided and so the unique whole body treatment in Tui Na can also be a useful treatment correcting any imbalances in the body s energy before symptoms and disease can develop It also works to restore emotional harmony as well as physical health This is why after a Tui Na treatment many people feel good Many people in China use Tui Na regularly to keep healthy and to deal with some specific illnesses Tui Na is performed on the clothed body and the patient is either lying on a couch or sitting on a chair Therapists using a variety of strokes or movements will control the intensity and direction of pressure in an exact way The unique rolling movement in Tui Na is one of the most difficult strokes to learn and students have to practice sometimes for many months on a rice bag before they are allowed to practice on the human body Stress Tui Na is of course very useful for treating stress It distributes the energy around the whole body It is believed that Tui Na moves the strong energy in the tense muscles to the weaker areas thus making a more balanced body When your Qi energy in the body flow is balanced you feel relaxed and comfortable Tui Na is especially useful for stiff shoulders and tense neck muscles Emotions In Traditional Chinese Medicine each major organ is linked to an emotion By balancing the energy in the organ the relevant emotion will be calmed When your emotions are out of control you would usually turn to your doctor or perhaps a psychotherapist But perhaps some people would not like to be seeing a psychotherapist or feel nervous about discussing their problems with others With Tui Na one does not need to tell the therapist anything one does not want to The 6 treatment of Tui Na can deal with the problem itself although if one does need to talk then the safe space is there to do so An active dialogue between the therapist and the patient will help to get a better effect How the major organs rule your emotions Each major organ the heart the stomach the spleen the liver the bladder the kidneys the lungs etc is linked to a relevant emotion The heart is linked to joy excitement and sadness If the heart is out of balance the patient may dream a lot at night and often forget something important in the day The stomach and spleen are connected with too much thinking or worrying over anxiety When the stomach is out of balance there is often a lack of energy The patient often feels very tired and has no interest in doing anything at all The liver and gall bladder are linked to anger In Chinese Medicine the eyes are connected with the liver and many people who suffer from anger often suffer from eye problems The gall bladder rules decision making and too much energy here can lead to rashness while if there is too little it can bring about indecision Where there is a history of depression the therapist would look to the liver The bladder and kidneys are linked to fear of all kinds from simple anxieties and phobias to vague fears and worries The lungs are connected with feelings of grief and sadness When there is a history of grief the therapist would look to the lungs Tui Na is used in almost all the hospitals in China and very popular among Chinese people It is a useful and valuable method of restoring Qi balance when emotional and physical health is out of balance Tui Na is one of the remaining secrets of Chinese Medicine 65 According to the passage which statement is TRUE about Tui Na A Tui Na is a whole body treatment and can t be divided into different parts B Tui Na can be used to balance the diseases before they can develop in the body C Tui Na can bring back not only physical health but also emotional health D Tui Na only makes people feel good but do not actually cure disease 66 How can the emotion be calmed A By linking the organ to an emotion B By telling the therapist anything one does not want to C By discussing their problems with others D By balancing the energy in the relevant organ 67 When the stomach is out of balance A the patient will have a stomachache B the patient will have a lot to worry about C the patient will have nothing to do D the patient will not feel like doing anything B Black Boxes Although they are called black boxes aviation recorders are actually painted orange This distinct color along with the strips of reflective tape attached to the recorders exteriors helps investigators locate the black boxes following an accident These are especially helpful 7 when a plane lands in the water There are two possible origins of the term black boxes Some believe it is because early recorders were painted black while others think it refers to the charring that occurs in post accident fires In addition to the paint and reflective tape black boxes are equipped with an underwater locator beacon ULB If you look at the picture of a black box you will almost always see a small cylindrical object attached to one end of the device This cylinder 圆筒 is actually a beacon If a plane crashes into the water this beacon sends out an ultrasonic pulse that cannot be heard by human ears but is readily detectable by sonar and acoustical locating equipment There is a sensor on the side of the beacon that looks like a bull s eye When water touches this sensor it activates the beacon The beacon sends out pulses at 37 5 kilohertz kHz and can transmit sound as deep as 14 000 feet 4 267 m Once the beacon begins pinging it pings once per second for 30 days This beacon is powered by a battery In rare instances the beacon may get snapped off during a high impact collision In the United States when investigators locate a black box it is transported to the computer labs at the National Transportation Safety Board NTSB Special care is taken in transporting these devices in order to avoid any further damage to the recording medium In the lab investigators download the data from the recorders and attempt to recreate the events of the accident This process can take weeks or months to complete In the United States black boxes manufacturers supply the NTSB with the readout systems and software needed to do a full analysis of the recorders stored data A team of experts is usually brought in to interpret the recordings stored on a black box This group typically includes a representative from the airline a representative from the airplane manufacturer an NTSB transportation safety specialist and an NTSB air safety investigator This group may also include a language specialist from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and if needed an interpreter This board attempts to interpret 30 minutes of words and sounds recorded by the black box This can be a painstaking process and may take weeks to complete The black box is an invaluable tool for any aircraft investigation It is often the lone survivor of airplane accidents and as such provides important clues to the cause that would be impossible to obtain any other way As technology evolves black boxes will continue to play a tremendous role in accident investigations 68 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text A Aviation recorders are known as the black boxes B Some people believe that the black box got its name because it was painted black C Some people believe that the black box got its name because of its colour after the accident D It is only the distinct orange colour that helps investigators locate the black boxes after an accident 69 What can activate the underwater locating beacon ULB A A bull s eye B Sonar C A sensor on the side of the beacon D Acoustical locating equipment 70 How many people are needed at least to interpret the recordings stored on a black box A Three B Four C Five D Six 71 Which word can best describe the process of
