RES-Gen is a division of leading renewable energy group Renewable Energy Systems(RES),a UK-based company with global operations.  RES was one of the pioneers of wind energy technology.It built the UK's second wind farm in l992.Since then:RES has built more than 40wind farms across four continents.
Rhodes graduated from the University of Nottingham with a degree in manufacturing engineering.  Following that,she received a master's degree in renewable energy systems technology specializing in wind energy.  Rhodes has worked in the wind sector ever since,providing technical support for two leading wind farm developers before joining RES in 2001.
RES's projects are continually monitored by computer and checked remotely on a daily basis.Regular servicing is carried out by contractors(承包者),usually every six months.Rhodes always has a top-level view of how well the wind turbines(涡轮)are operating.
Rhodes is a supporter of wind-energy engineering.She also works closely with other departments to keep good relations with the communities around RES's wind farms.The open days and government officials'visits show that wind power is popular and that wind projects-are viewed positively.
Renewable energy is a growing sector with attractive career prospects. For Rhodes.as the RES wind farms expand,the team that she manages is expected to increase.She enjoys working for a company with strong engineering roots and a highly respected track record(业绩).Her job as a wind farmer is challenging and enjoyable."It's great knowing that you are helping to bring about a clean.environment and are contributing to the global community."

17.Almost anywhere in the world,you can probably see graffiti (涂鸦画).Although it's usually more common in big cities,it can be found in almost any community,big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art.This isn't always an easy question to answer,simply because there are so many different types of graffiti.While some simply consists of collections of letters,known as tags,with little artistic value,such examples are easy to find,especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission,it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art.Most graffiti,however,annoys the property owner,who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed,such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint,or make it easy to remove.Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them.Graffiti artists can,for example,create murals (壁画) for property owners,and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level,and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls.After all,who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls,only to have them painted over the next day?Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy,but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world,we do need to try.

66.What would be the best title for this passage?D
A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?D.Is Graffiti Art?
67.The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA.
A.makes buildings ugly                  B.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private property                   D.takes up too much space
68.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC.
A.change         B.flow          C.remove           D.freeze
69.The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works,if painted on the wall,might not be kept long
70.The writer's attitude toward graffiti is that graffitiD.
A.should be removed by more countries      B.should be saved on larger spaces
C.should be created only on paper or canvas     D.may be accepted as art.

14.Present or Future?
Americans are future-minded.They really live in the future.The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded.For Japanese Zen followers,time is like a pool of water.Things just happen.There is no past,present or future.Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness.
I did not grow up with a telephone.So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S..I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed.My wife used to ask,"Didn't you call before going there?"The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind,while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture.
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking.So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals.She is always sure that she has everything.The truth is that many times,in the middle of cooking,she will ask for items we don't have.That shows a present mind.You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning.
Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind. Normally,when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas,I figure that it will rain today.Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house.I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds.Here my present mind gets me wetevery time.
Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe.So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable.In today's dialogue,building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures,which may appear to be so foreign.However,they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet.

60.The author was most likely born inB.
A.America       B.France    C.Britain    D.Egypt
61.Which is true about the author?A
A.He was more future-minded than his mother.
B.He received most of his education in Japan.
C.He learned to check the weather before going out.
D.He disliked calling the store before going shopping.
62.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?D
A.Americans value time more than any other culture.
B.Americans should be understood by other cultures.
C.Communication between cultures is easier than before.
D.Harmony should be achieved despite cultural differences.
