Indeed, power companies could profit by turning to biomass, especially when the subsidies (补助) many governments offer for using renewable energy are taken into accountFarmers can benefit from growing biomassIn Europe, the reduction of subsidies for certain crops is exposing farmers to market forcesInstead of being paid for whatever they produce, farmers must seek a clear demand for their productMany believe that the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels could be just such a driverBut while biomass offers a variety of potential alternatives, the worlds infrastructure (基础设施） has developed around burning fossil fuels to such a stage that switching to biomass involves a change in conception that many companies have not acceptedAlso, there are problems with using biomassAlthough most coal-fired power stations could take a small amount of their fuel from biomass without significant adjustment, few are built to run on biomass aloneBurning some forms of biomass also causes environmental problemsOils and waste can be smelly, while wood produces smoke unless burned properlyThe supply chains for fossil fuels are set up well, but those for biomass are just the beginning. Sources of supply for biomass rely on farm production and can therefore be less reliable. They are necessarily limited and it wouldnt make sense to turn a very large amount of valuable agricultural land away from food cropsBut as the world adjusts to the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, these problems may receive more attention32.What do we know about biomass?AIt is a useful way of burning cropsBIt is plant and animal matter used to provide powerCIt is a popular approach to fighting against pollutionDIt is a new alternative to be used widely33.What are the advantages of using biomass?aIt gives off less greenhouse gasesbIt helps farmers receive subsidies for what they producecIt has met the clear demand for energydIt has brought subsidies for some power companieseIt is cheaper than burning fossil fuelsAa, b, c Bb, c, d Cc, d, e Da, d, e34.For coal-fired power stations, _Amore effective ways to use biomass have been triedBusing renewable energy has become their daily taskCburning biomass alone would require considerable changesDsetting up dependable supply channels needs governments support35.What is the authors attitude towards biomass fuels?AObjective BDoubtful CNegative DDefensive第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）I know just how you feelDo you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion. 36In the mid1800s, Darwin divided the emotions into six typesanger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. 37 The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.The project was designed by a Cambridge professor. His research team first had to define an “emotion”. 38 Using this definition, 412 emotion terms were identified and discussed, from “afraid” to “wanting”.Then each expression is acted out by six different actors. “It was really clear when the actors had got it right,” says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. “Although they were given some direction, the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. 39 ”Someone who has tried to set such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who built database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements. Ekman has also found that it may not be possible for people to reproduce them artificially. The most difficult expression to reproduce is the smile. It isnt only about stretching the lips, but tightening the tiny muscles around the eye. 40 If we learnt to recognize whether someone was using their eye muscle when they smiled, we would be able to distinguish true enjoyment from false.A. It shows 412 distinct ways we feel.B. These can be combined into more than 10,000 facial shapes.C. These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it.D. They decided that it was a mental state that could be introduced by “I feel” or “he looks ” or “she sounds”.E. He said the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone, from any culture.F. It is as if they are programmed into the brains of “normal humans” wherever they are and whatever their races.G. We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.第二部分：第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30）I was recently invited to dinner by a friend.
