It can help you as a single home owner. It can h

17、elp the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present energy coasts, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save o

18、ur precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like t

19、he sun.We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides begin an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesnt offer so many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to

20、 already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need so much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until no

21、w, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity

22、 is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply.41 Which statement best expresses the main idea?

26、 rationed（D）but we don t need practice energy rationing now45 Nearly 54 million cars and trucks in the United States are equipped with driver side air bags located in the center of the steering wheel. 24 million also have a passenger-side device located in the dashboard. Air bags are designed to pro

27、tect against sudden, fierce frontal highway impacts.Five years ago evidence of serious air bag injuries began to surface. Drivers in minor fender benders suffered severe eye and ear injuries, broken bones and third degree burns from the force of the inflating bags. In December 1991 the National High

28、way Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)advised parents to avoid putting rear facing infant sets in front of air bags, acknowledging that the force of the explosive bag could harm infants, whose heads were only inches away from the devices.Last October it was determined that all children 12 and unde

29、r were more susceptible to injury and death than adults; their more fragile bodies were seated lower, increasing the impact of the air bag to the head area. In addition, more children were not properly restrained or were out of position when the air bag inflated. On November 22, 1996, after nearly 6

30、0 deaths and thousands of injuries were attributed to the devices, the NHTSA mandated improved labels for all new vehicles, warning of the risk to children under 13. Despite these problems, officials stress the overall effectiveness of these devices. “All in all, air bags work well and are responsib

31、le for an 11 percent reduction in driver fatalities. “ says NHTSA Administrator Dr. Ricardo Martinez. “ First and foremost, make sure youre properly buckled up before getting on the road. “ says Brain ONeill, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Keep in mind how close you sit to

32、an air bag. Push seats as far back as possible, remaining just close enough to control the pedals. Your face and torso should be at least 10 to 12 inches from the steering column. “Its not a bad idea actually to measure the distance with a ruler to be sure. “ adds ONeill.Adjustable steering wheels s

33、hould be pointed toward the chest rather than the head to prevent inflating bag from damaging the face or neck. Also, position hands at nine oclock and three oclock on the wheel to keep your arms away from an opening air bag.Pregnant women in particular should keep their abdomen as distant from the

34、air bag as possible. In the final trimester, women should point adjustable steering wheels upward, away from their fetus. Perhaps most important, children 12 and under should always ride in the back seat, buckled up.46 From the passage, we learned that_.（A）there are 24 million cars and trucks in the

35、 United States（B） there are 78 million cars and trucks in the United States（C） there are 24 million cars and trucks equipped with air bags in the United States（D）there are 78 million cars and trucks equipped with air bags in the United States47 The air bags are_.（A）safety devices which can protect p

37、r bag（B） push the front seat as far back as possible, remaining just close enough to control the pedal（C） keep your face and torso at least 10 to 12 inches from the steering column（D）all of the above49 Adjustable steering wheels should_.（A）be pointed toward the chest rather than the head（B） be drive

38、n at 9 oclock（C） be driven at 3 oclock（D）keep your arms away from an opening air bag50 The air bag is a good safety device, but children 12 and under should always ride in the back seat buckled up means_.（A）air bags are no good for children（B） air bags are only good for the parents who have more tha

39、n 12 children（C） the best position for children to ride a car is in the back seat and be buckled up（D）the front seat is unsafe for young people50 For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seems to be slipping out of reach(够不着 ). “Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a re

40、ady-made house as their parents did, “ says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors(祖先), they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house. “The owner-builders came from every occupational group, altho

41、ugh surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge(冒险尝试)with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books, “ says John Brown, who built a six-room home for $25, 000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpentry(木工工作)skill

42、 to make a bookcase, you can build a house. “An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, lay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract for some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes

43、 can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $ 100 or use plans available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture.51 What is the main s

44、ubject of the passage?（A）The cost of having a house built.（B） The American dream of owning a house.（C） A description of owner-builders in America.（D）A comparison between young couples and their parents.52 It can be inferred from the passage that many Americans find it difficult to_.（A）build a house（

45、B） find a ready-made house（C） have a good job（D）buy a house53 The phrase “take the plunge“ in the second paragraph most probably means_.（A）decide to build a house（B） decide to pull down a house（C） decide to buy a house（D）decide to rent a house54 According to the passage, owner-builders are those who

46、_.（A）are professional house builders（B） build houses of their own（C） are contract house builders（D）sell or let houses55 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（A）Many house plans are offered free of charge.（B） Most of the house plans are offered by building instructors.（C

47、） Fifty percent of the American young couples build houses.（D）Most of the owner-builders design their homes.55 Television, or TV, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. The name television comes from the Greek word tele, meaning “far“, and the Latin

48、 word videre, meaning “to see“. Thus, television means “seeing far“. Sometimes television is referred to as video, from a Latin word meaning “I see“. In Great Britain, the popular word for television is “telly“.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. In TV, both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic waves. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s, inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took
