He lay on his back in narrow tunnels and cut the coal from above his head. He came out black, wet, stiff and sore. He told his manager to make the tunnels wider and to improve and repair the miners houses. When he got tired of waiting for the railways to deliver his coal, Henry Ford bought an old railway, which ran between Ohio and Detroit. People laughed. But he ran that railway and at a time when locomotive burnt coal and made everything dirty, his engines sheds and stations were painted white and kept that way. He did not like the quality of the glass he was getting for his windscreens. So he bought a glass factory, improved it, and becamequite by accidentone of the worlds biggest glass producers. And yet all he wanted to do was build cars. He was interested in everything, in radios, clocks and planes. He flew with Lindbergh just before the famous pilot made his first flight alone across the Atlantic. He even began to build planes. Meanwhile, Henry and his wife Clara were as happy a couple as ever. They both loved birds, and often watched them together. Once, when a bird made its nests by the front door, everyone used the back door until the mother bird had brought up her family. They also loved dancing, even in old age, and organized dancing classes for the school children in their town. Running was Henrys favorite exercise.

Nearly all energy comes from the sun, either in a roundabout way or straight from it, in the form of heat and light rays. The light from the moon, too, comes from the sun. the moon can be said to be like a large mirror which throws back he suns light to the earth. Electrical energy comes from the sun in a roundabout way. It can come from the power of water falling down mountainside. The water fell there as rain, and we know that rain is made by the suns heat evaporating(使蒸发) the water on the earths surface. The water vapor rises, condenses(凝结) on cooling, and falls as rain. The light and heat energy from coal also comes from the sun in a roundabout way. Coal was made by the rockets pressing on tress and plants which died millions of years ago. Those trees and plants grew with the aid of sunlight, from which they made carbohydrates(碳水化合物), in this way hanging the suns energy into chemical energy. When we burn coal, some of this energy is set free. Energy which we use to drive car engines comes from petrol, which also was made with the aid of the sun in a roundabout way. Plants and animals which ate the plants, died millions of year ago, and the parts of them that were left were pressed under the rocks in the earth. These parts left from dead animals made petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained. Thus, we can say that the sun is the place where nearly all energy comes from, and that without the suns heat and light, there could be no life on earth.36. Nearly all energy is derived from the sun, _. A. in the form of heat B. in the form of light reflected by the moon. C. in the form of light rays D. in the form of heat and light rays.37.

A. the sun heats the water in the mountains B. the water comes from the rain which is heated by the sun C. the water comes from vapor, which is made by the suns heat D. the water is heated by the sun38. When coal is burnt, some of the chemical energy is _. A. condensedB. cooled C. releasedD. lost39. Which of the following is Not true? A. Petrol can be used as energy to drive car engines. B. Coal was formed by trees and plants which died millions of years ago. C. Plants and animals which died millions of year ago formed oil. D. The suns heat and light caused dead animals and plants to become oil.40. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that _. A. the sun can be said to be the source of nearly all energy B. rain is made by the suns heat evaporating the water on the earths surface C. many forms of energy are derived indirectly from the sun D. human beings cannot live without the sunSection V Translation (15 points)41.
