　　California Gives Green Light to Space Solar Power
　　Energy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality，now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatt (兆瓦)of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2023．But some major chal lenges will have to be overcomed if the technology is to be used widely．
　　A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites，which it says will use radio waves to beam energy down to a receiving station on Earth．
　　The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in eosynchronous(与地球同步旳)orbit．Earth-based solar cells，by contrast，can only collect sun．
　　Light during daytime and when skies are clear．
　　But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服)with the high cost per kilogram of launching things into space，says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette，Indiana， "If you're talking about it being economically viable or power of the Earth，it's a tough go．"he says.
　　Cal Boerman，Solaren's director of energy services，says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down．"We knew we had to come up with a different，revolu-tionary design，"he says．A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system'Sweight，including using inflatable minors to focus sunlight on solar cells，so a smaller number cancollect the same amount of energy．
　　But using minors introduces other chaHenges，including keeping the solar cells from overhea-ting，says Schwartz．"You have to take care of heat dissipation(散发)because you're now concen-trating a lot of energy in one place，"he says．According to the company's patent，Solaren's solarcells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool．
　　Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-based solar power work，it is notexpecting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy．Laws in California and other states requireincreasing use of renewable energy in coming years，he points out．"To meet those needs，we're go-ing to need all types of renewable energy sources，"he says．
　　16．Solar-power satellites will use radio waves to beam energy down from space．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　17．Solaren is going to design 200 solar-power satellites．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　18．Space-based solar cells could collect solar power only when skies are clear．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　19．One advantage of space-based solar power system is that it is economical．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　20．Inflatable minors are used to reduce the space-based solar power system．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　21．Space-based solar power will rule out other forms of renewable energy sources．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned
　　22．Many countries will grant permission for the use of spaced-based solar power soon．
　　A．Right
　　B．Wrong
　　C．Not mentioned

　　Natural Gas
　　1 Natural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth's surface．It is a fossil fuel
　　(矿物质燃料)，meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of yearsago．The main component of natural gas is methane(甲烷)．
　　2 The popularity and use of clean natural gas has increased dramatically over the past 50 years as pipeline infrastructure(基础设施)has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential，commercial and industrial customers worldwide．Today，natural gas serviceis available in all 50 states in the U．S．，and is the leading energy choice for fueling Americanhomes and idustries。More than 65 million American homes use natural gas．In fact，natural gas isthe most economical source for home energy needs，costing one-third as much as electricity．In addi-tion to heating homes，much of the gas used in the United States is used as a raw material to manu-facture a wide variety of products，from paint，to fibers for clothing，to plastics for heahhcare，con-puting and furnishings．Natural gas is also used in a significant number of new electricity-generating power plants．
　　3 Natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest fuels available．It emits less pollution than oth-er fossil fuel sources．When natural gas is burned，it produces mostly carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and water vapor-the same substances emitted when humans exhale．Compared with some other fos-sil fuels，natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted(燃烧)， making natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel of a11．
　　4 The United States consumes about one-third of the world'S natural gas output，making it the largest gas-consuming region in the world．The U．S．Department of Energy'S Energy Information Ad-ministration forecasts that natural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025．
　　5 There are huge reserves of natural gas beneath the earth's surface．The largest reserves of natural gas can be found in Russia，West and North Africa and the Middle East．LNG(液化天然气)has been produced domestically and imported in the United States for more than four decades．
　　Today，the leading importes of LNG are Japan，Korea，France and Spain．
　　23．Paragraph 2_________．
　　24．Paragraph 3________．
　　25．Paragraph 4_________.
　　26．Paragraph 5________．
　　A．Popularity and use of natural gas
　　B．Natural gas reserves and supply
　　C．Natural gas prices
　　D．Clean fuel of choice
　　E．Disadvantages of natural gas
　　F．Natural gas consumption
　　27．Natural gas is stored deep________．
　　28．Natural gas is recognized as the most economical energy source_________．

　　第4部分：阅读理解(第3l～45题，每题3分，共45分)
　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
　　第一篇
　　How the First Stars in the Universe Came into Existence
　　How the first stars formed from this dust and gas has been a burning question for years，but a state-of-the-art computer simulation now offers the most detailed picture yet of how these first stars in the universe came into existence，researchers say．
　　The composition of the early universe was quite different from that of today，and the physics that governed the early universe were also somewhat simpler．Dr．Naoki Yoshida and colleagues in Japan and the U．S．incorporated these conditions of the early universe，sometimes referred to as the "cosmic dark ages，"to simulate the formation of an astronomical object that would eventually shine its light into this darkness．
　　The result is a detailed description of the formation of a protostar-the early stage of a massive primordial star of our universe，and the researchers'computer simulation，which has been called a "cosmic Rosetta Stone．"sets the bar for further investigation into the star formation process．The question of how the first stars evolved is so important because their formations and eventual explo-sions provided the seeds for subsequent stars to come into being．
　　According to their simulation，gravity acted on minute density variations in matter，gases，and the mysterious"dark matter''of the universe after the Big Bang in order to form this early stage of a star-a protostar with a mass of just one percent of our sun．The simulation reveals how pre-stellar gases would have actually evolved under the simpler physics of the early universe to form this protostar．
　　Dr．Yoshida's simulation also shows that the protostar would likely evolve into a massive star capableof synthesizing heavy elements，not just in later generations of stars，but soon after the Big Bang．
　　"This geneal picture of star formation，and the ability to compare how stellar objects form in different time periods and regions of the universe，will eventually allow investigation into the originsof life and planets，"said Lars Hernquist，a Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University and a coauthor of this latest report．"The abundance of elements in the universe has increased as stars haveaccumulated，"he says，"and the formation and destruction of stars continues to spread these ele． ments further across the universe．So when you think about it．a11 of the elements in our bodies originally formed from nuclear reactions in the centers of stars，long ago．"
　　Their simulation of the birth of a protostar in the early universe signifies a key step toward theambitious goal of piecing together the formation of an entire primordial star and of predicting the massand properties of these first stars of the universe．More powerful computers，more physical data，andan even larger range will be needed for further calculations and simulations，but these researchers hope to eventually extend this simulation to the point of nuclear reaction in．itiation-when a stellar ob． ject becomes a true star．
　　"Dr．Yoshida has taken the study of primordial star formation to a new level with this simulation，but it still gets us only to the halfway point towards our final goal．It is like laying the foundation of a skyscraper，"said Volker Bromm，Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Tex． as，Austin and the author of a companion article．"We must continue our studies in this area to un-derstand how the initially tiny protostar grows，layer by layer，to eventually form a massive star．Buthere，the physics become much more complicated and even more computational resources are needed．"
　　31．According to the first two paragraphs，the early universe_______．
　　A．was governed by simpler physics
　　B．got fewer stars shinning in it
　　C．started over 13 billion years ago
　　D．was composed in a way similar to that of today
　　32．What can the state-of-the．art computer simulation tell us about?
　　A．How the Big Bang occurred about 13 billion years ago．
　　B．How"cosmic dark ages"came into existence．
　　C．How dust grains and gases were formed after the Big Bang．
　　D．How the first stars canle into being after the Big Bang．
　　33．What does the"astronomical object"in paragraph 2 refer to?
　　A．cosmic dark ages．
　　B．dust grains and gases．
　　C．a protostar．
　　D．the early universe．
　　34．According to paragraph 4，what is NOT true about a protostar?
　　A．It developed into a massive star during the Big Bang．
　　B．It evolved from pre-stellar gases．
　　C．It was able to integrate heavy elements when evolving into a massive star．
　　D．It had a mass of one percent of the sun．
　　35．According to the last paragraph，all of the following are goals of the simulation project EXCEPT
　　A．to know more about the mass and properties of the first stars of the universe
　　B．to simulate the process of how the early universe began
　　C．to apply the simulation to the study of nuclear reaction initiation
　　D．to discover the truth about the formation of a protostar

　　The Iceman
　　On a September,day in 1991，two Germans were climbing the mountain between Austra and Ita． 1y．High up on a mountain pass，they found the body of a man lying on the ice．At that height (10，499 feet，or 3，200 meters)，the ice is usually permanent，but 1991 had been an especially
　　warm year．The mountain ice had melted more than iust usual and so the body had come to the surface．It was lying face downward．The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition except a wound on the head．remains of some clothes．The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots．Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (树皮)and a holder for arrows．
　　Who was the man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions．Some people thought that it was from this century，perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I，since several soldiers had already been found in this area．A Swiss woman who believed it might be her father，who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found．The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older，maybe even a thousand years old．
　　With modem dating techniques，the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5，300 years old．Born in about 3300 B．C．，he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe．At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains．More recent evidence，however，tells a different story．A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder．It left only a tiny hole in his skin，but it caused internal damage and bleedin
