Researchers say that it could revolutionize（ 革命化）global en ergy producti on.The desig n

37、is a 12-foot-wide mirrored dish which was made from a lightweight, th in, in expe nsive metal and mirror.“This is actually the most efficient（ 有效的）solar collector at present, ” said Doug Wood, an inven tor based in Wash ington State who pate nted （ 申请专禾 U ） key parts of the dish s desig n the rights

38、 to which he has signed over （ 转至到.名下）to a team of students at MIT.To test the desig n this week, MIT mecha ni cal engin eer Spencer Ahre ns put a piece of wood there which turns into smoke immediately. The thing does more than burn wood, of course.Ahrens and his teammates have started a company, Ra

39、wSolar, to hopefully produce the dishes. They could be set up to provide steam for in dustrial process ing, or for heat ing or cooli ng buildi ngs. Once produced largely, these dishes should pay for themselves withi n two years or so with the en ergy they produce , the stude nts figure.Wood, the inv

40、en tor , said the stude nts built the dish and improved on his desig n. “ They really have made it more simple and user- friendly, so anybody can build it,” he said.Small dishes work best because it requires much less support structure and costs less for a give n amount of collect ion area.saidIve l

Accord ing to the passage, the solar en ergy collector.A. is made from expe nsive materialsB. is a little difficult to carry and useC. will be better if it is a bigger oneD. can produce high heat soon61. We can lear n from the passage that_.A. the solar en ergy collector wil

45、and others born stupid ? Or is intelligenee （智力） developed by our environment （环境）and our experiences ?Stran gely eno ugh, the an swer to both these questi ons is yes. Our in tellige nce is partly give n to us at birth, and no amount of special educati on can make a genius out of a child born with l

46、ow intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in auninteresting environment will develophis in tellige nce less tha n one who lives in rich and cha nging surroundin gs. Thus the limits of a pers ons in tellige nce are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depe nd on

47、 his environment. This view, not held by most experts, can be supported in a nu mber of ways.Its easy to show that intelligenee is to some degree something we are born with, the closer the blood relati on ship betwee n two people, the most closer they are likely to be in in tellige nee. Thus if we t

48、ake two unrelated people at random from the population , it is likely that their degrees of in tellige nee will be completely differe nt. If on the other hand we take two ide ntical twins （孪生）,they will likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children

49、, usually have similar intelligenee, and this early suggests that intelligence depe nds on birth.Imagi ne now that we take ide ntical twins and put them in differe nt environmen ts. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is tiring and uninteresting.

50、 We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that en viro nment as well as birth plays a part. This con clusi on is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close con tact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of i

51、n tellige nce.46.The write is in favor of the view that man intelligence is given to him.A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. neither at birth nor through education65. In the third paragraph , if we take two un related people at ran dom from thepopulatio n meansif

52、we .A. pick up any two personsB. choose two persons who are relativesC. take out two different personsD. choose two persons with different intelligence66. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately show .A.the importanceof their intelligenceB.the effect of environment

53、 on intelligenceC.the importanceof their positionsD.the part that birth plays67. The best title of this passage can be.A.Dependence on EnvironmentB.IntelligenceC.SurroundingsD.Effect of Education（D）In American and Europe, most people accept crustaceans （甲壳纟冈动物）such as crab, lobster and shrimp as foo

54、d items . In fact, diners often vies these foods as special, tending to pay far more for them than for chicken , pork and most beef, or serving them on special occasions . Yet crustacea ns are “ the ocea n equivale nt（相等的东西 ）of in sects，” says David Gracer, a direct ion . In fact, crustacea ns bel o

55、ng to the same part of the ani mal family tree as in sets do .When people argue that eating larvae（幼体）is disgusting（令人生厌的）,Gracer points out that lobsters tend to “ eat rubbish and dead things ” . And in sects? Most of them dine at n ature salad bars. Knowing that, he asks . “Which would you rather

56、eat? ”Gracer holds workshops on edible （可食用的）in sects. He also performs cook ing dem on strati ons to in troduce America ns to in sect-based recipes . Heseve n started a compa ny in Provide nce. R. L, called Sun rise Land Shrimp. It supplies froze n and dried in sects to con sumers .Besides poin ti

57、ng out that in sects are good food . Gracer also argues that in sects can be “ a better choice ” than most meats at least ecologically .It takes a lot of natural resources land, water, feed and energy to create a pound of beef or chicken . Those resources are not only expensive , but also can be damaged or polluted . By con trast, i nsects can be grow n on low-quality pla nts even weeds, sometime
