　 As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .

　 Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. ZXXK

　 Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.

　We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge.　 Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.

　 The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.

72. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.

　　 A. energy policy catches much attention of the public

　　 B. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms

　 　C. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies

　　 D. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents

73. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.

　　 A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power

　　 B. guarantees an increase in energy output

　　 C. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power

　　 D. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation

74. It can be inferred from the passage that____.

　　 A. an official report will settle the energy problem

　　 B. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms

　　 C. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation

　　 D. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts

75. Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?

　　 A. Increase political impact on energy policy.

　　 B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.

　　 C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.

　　 D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.

　Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.

　 Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力)　 to enjoy life.　 Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.

　 Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace.　 Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.　 Here are several rooms your house of life should have.

　　 Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.

　　 Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.

　　 Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.

　 Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the had days, if you could, and did, play a bit.

　 Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

68. The author intends to tell us that____________.

　　 A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means

　　 B. big houses are people's most valued possessions

　　 C. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life

　　 D. true happiness comes from spiritual riches

69. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.

　　 A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied

　　 B. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor

　　 C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life

　　 D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage

70. It can be learned from the passage that __________.

　　 A. more money brings more happiness

　　 B. art is needed to make your house beautiful

　　 C. literature can enrich your spiritual life

　　 D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness

71. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　 A. House of Life　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　B. Secret of Wealth

　　 C. Rest and Refreshment　　　　　　　　　　 　　　D. Interest and Enthusiasm

BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION

“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.

　　　　　　　　　　　　 　— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body

is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.　 Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.
