24、oblems we face today are not so new as we think they are. And some of our modern solutions are not so new, either. The problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar energy go back at least to early Greek cultures. The climate in the coastal areas of Greece 2,500 years ago was character
25、ized by cool winters, much as it is today. At that time, the Greeks heated their homes with small, charcoal-burning heaters. In other words, wood (which is used to make charcoal) was their primary source of energy. However, by the fifth century B C fuel shortages had become common be- cause, in many
26、 parts of Greece, the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of fire- wood from the local forests ran out, people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But this solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop, a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth ce
27、ntury B C, the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farther away, making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. About this time the Greeks began to build their houses facing south, so that the low sun in winter could penetrate
28、 and help heat the interiors. Excavations of ancient Greek cities suggest that large areas were planned so that individual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy.（分数：12.00）(1).The word “depleted“ means _ .（分数：3.00）A.damagedB.stolenC.used upD.discovered(2).According to the passage
29、, _ .（分数：3.00）A.using wood from the olive groves in ancient Greece was a sensible solution to the fuel problemB.using passive solar energy was more expensive than using wood in ancient GreeceC.the ancient Greeks planted new forests to replace the ones they cut down for firewoodD.the concept of using
30、 passive solar energy has been around since at least the fourth century B C(3).The author implies that before the fifth century B C, _ .（分数：3.00）A.the climate was much milder in the coastal areas of GreeceB.the Greeks were very careful to replant their forests after they cut themC.the Greeks were no
31、t concerned about conserving their energy sourcesD.olives were not an important resource to the Greeks(4).Which sentence best expresses the central point of the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Sentence 1.B.Sentence 2.C.Sentence 3.D.Sentence 4.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)A few minutes ago, walking back from lun
32、ch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasnt much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can b
33、e nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are besieged (包围) by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screamin
34、g along the street.When Im in New York, Im a New Yorker. I dont turn either. Like the natives.At home in my little town in Connecticut, its different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if Im seated and brings me to the window if Im in bed.Its
35、 the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. Ive been hearing little creaking noises and. sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twent
36、y- five years in our house.

A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some pla
39、nets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We wont see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the myste
40、rious dead stars called black holes.As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star
41、was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star,
42、a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your
43、 eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness.So remember: Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the article, what causes a star to die?（分数：3.00）A.As its gases run out, it cools down.B.It collides with other stars.C.It can only live f

45、ecomes brighter and easier to se(4).Why cant you see light when you look at a black hole?（分数：3.00）A.Because most black holes are so far away.B.Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks? the light inward.C.Because as the stars gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.D.Beca
