         We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time.The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before
    that.Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind (磨碎) corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from.

         We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top.The wind
    blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity.
         We tend  to build many of these  towers together, to make a "wind farm" and produce more electricity.The more towers, the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity we can make.It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans (大篷车) increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged.
         The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains-places where the wind is strong and reliable.Some are offshore.To be worthwhile, you need
    an average wind speed of around 25 km/h.Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales.Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators.In California, several "wind farms" supply
    electricity to homes around Los Angeles.
          The propellors are large, to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air.The blades can be
    angled to cope with varying wind speeds.Some designs use vertical turbines (垂直涡轮机), which don't
    need to be turned to face the wind.The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to
    where the wind is stronger.This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming.
    1. The first paragraph aims to introduce to us________.
    A. the function of wind power
    B. the source of wind power
    C. the nations using wind power  
    D. the history of using wind power
    2. How does a wind power work?
    A. The generator turns the propeller blades and produce electricity.
    B. The tall tower helps turn the energy in the air into electricity.
    C. Warm air rises and makes the propellor move round.
    D. The propellor blown round by wind turns the generator to produce electricity.
    3. The best places for building the wind farm are places where______.
    A. boats and caravans can often be seen
    B. isolated farms don't have enough electricity
    C. there are less human activities
    D. the wind is strong and reliable
    4. We can infer from the passage that________.
    A. wind farms will not take up too much farming land
    B. wind farms need no fuel because wind is free
    C. the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from
    D. the higher and larger the towers are, the stronger the wind is
    5. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
    A. Where to build a wind farm
    B. ABC of the using of wind energy
    C. How to make best use of wind
    D. Wind energy is the best energy

         We are going to describe one way to build a rooftop garden that does not even require
    soil. Four things are needed for a small rooftop garden. One thing is a roof that can support
    the weight. Another is grass cutting. The third thing is a sheet of plastic in which to spread
    the cut grass. And the last thing is a box about eight centimeters deep and made out of four
    pieces of wood.
         Once you are sure the roof is good, cut and collect some grass. Then lay down the
    plastic where the garden box will go. The four-sided box can be as long and as wide as
    needed. Place the box on top of the sheet of plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Next,
    add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down.
         After about three weeks, the rooftop garden is ready for planting. Put the seeds directly
    into the wet grass cuttings. This garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes, beans, onions
    and lettuce. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots will also grow.
         It is important to keep the grass wet until the plants begin to grow. When the plants are
    growing, they will need watering every day, unless there is rain. And they will need some liquid
    fertilizer. Also, seeds and new plants must be protected from insects and birds. Rooftop
    gardens are increasingly popular, and not just to grow vegetables. They keep buildings cooler
    in the sun, so they save energy. They can also extend the useful life of a roof.
         Rooftop gardens also reduce the runoff of storm water and help clean the air. Plus the
    add beauty, and give birds and insects in the city a nice place to live.

    七．阅读理解    

    We live in a digital world now, and a student's technology needs have changed. For the early years, say when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it's a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.

    As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make – especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it's a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones.

    Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your children’s education? Maybe they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”

    1. According to author, primary school children should___.

    A. use the computer and the Internet regularly   B. ask their parents to buy them cell-phones

    C. buy iPods to listen to music                D. go to libraries to read more books

    2. Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?

    A. They want their children to be cool.   B. They think cell-phones be helpful to their study.

    C. They want to keep in touch with their children.

    D. They want their children to keep up to date.

    3. The following are all reasons why many teachers dislike cell-phones EXCEPT ____.

      A. cell-phones can be used to cheat on exams 

    B. schoolchildren will send messages during class

    C. cell-phones can be used to record lessons    

    D. schoolchildren might talk on them during class

    4. What does the underlined word “that” refers to?

      A. iPods can be used to listen to music.    B. iPods can be helpful for children’s education.

      C. iPods can be used to play games.       D. iPods are necessary for children’s lives.

    5. We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _____.

    A. cell-phones are not useful to students    B. teachers should let students use cell-phones

    C. it’s better for teachers to change their teaching methods

    D. schoolchildren should follow the trends(潮流) of fashion

         We all know that certain oils are healthier than others, but your oil health goes beyond just the type.
    The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too.
        Each type of oil has what is called a "smoke point". The smoke point is the specific temperature at
    which the oil starts to break down, or in more technical terms, its molecular structure begins to change.
    These molecular changes result in changes in flavor, as well as changes in nutritional value,specifically,the
    nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce；changing what once may have been considered an especially
    healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.
        The higher an oil's smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result, each type of
    oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat
    tolerance.Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite

         Note that the above table represents oils that are refined(精炼的). Most oils we buy are refined.Refined oils tend to have much higher smoke points than when they are unrefined.They also differ in nutrition and flavor.Unrefined oils are more nutritious and they tend to be much richer in flavor.
         When it comes to extremely high heat cooking,always choose oils which are refined.

    1. What determines whether an oil is healthy or not?

    A. Whether it's refined or not.
    B. Its smoke point.
    C. Its molecular.
    D. How you use it.

    2. Which of the following might be a better choice to make a healthy salad?

    A. Refined walnut oil.  
    B. Safflower oil.
    C. Unrefined olive oil.  
    D. Sunflower oil.

    3. Healthy oil can become unhealthy if________according to the passage.

    A. you keep it for too long
    B. it is heated well beyond its smoke point
    C. it is refined
    D. its flavor is changed

    4. The author wants to tell readers that________.

    A. oils are related to health
    B. oils' value depends on their smoke points
    C. "certain oils are healthier" is relative
    D. oils' flavor and nutrition are connected
