demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them．Carbon Day Automotive,
a Chicagobased company,has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point,known as
the Solar PlugIn Station,which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has
been produced without any environmental damage．
      The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city"s bid to host the
2016 Olympic Games．According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar PlugIn Station on
show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in
Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee．
      These solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city"s electric vehicles
with power from the sun．By producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell,the CO2
emissions are reduced to zero．
      "Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our
dependence on foreign oil," says Richard Lowenthal,CEO of Coulomb Technologies．Coulomb

阅读理解。     Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some
people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are
required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they
are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers
say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by
providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically
teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day － which really is pretty much for handwriting.
    Many adults remember learning that way － by copying letters over and over again. Today"s
thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should
not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express
ideas. After all, that is why we write.
    Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can
be read. The other is fluency － writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to
develop up until high school.
    But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of
their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any
more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
    But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school,
especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write
in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the
College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students
choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.1. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.
B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.
C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.
D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting2. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.
B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.
C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.
D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.3. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.A. all the American children learn to print first
B. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the test
C. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboard
D. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used4. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard age
B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Two skills involved in handwriting
D. Handwriting lessons on the way out

阅读理解。    The concept of solar power satellites, or SPS, first put forward in the 1960s, is still not widely
known by the general public. For example, at many public exhibitions about energy, SPS is not
even mentioned. This is mainly because very little money has been spent on SPS research
     There are people who claim that SPS is unrealistic － because launch costs are much too high
today; or because it is too far away. So why do we believe that it is important to continue to do
researches on SPS? The reason is very simple.
    Humans are going to need huge amounts of electric power in coming decades. Within 50 years
the world population is expected to double, while economic growth will continue around the world,
especially in the poorer countries. But existing energy sources already face serious problems. They
are limited; they are polluted; they are dangerous. So 50 or 100 years from now, where is our power
going to come from? Nobody knows. And so we believe that new large-scale possibilities should be
studied further.
    We must remember that humans have some choices concerning our future. To some extent we
can choose the direction in which our civilization develops. And choices that are made in the coming
decades－such as the energy sources that we will or will not use, will have major, long-term meaning
for human life on earth. We believe that if research continues to show that SPS is environmentally and
economically attractive, SPS will open the door to a much more attractive future for human civilization
than any ground-based energy source, and one that the public will support and that young people will
find challenging and exciting. Furthermore energy from SPS can be readily used in developing countries,
as the SPS 2000 project will show, thus aiding economic development worldwide. In addition, by
creating large commercial fund for space engineering, SPS will open the frontier of space to economic
development, thus creating a limitless new field for the growth of the world economy.1. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. The Future Energy－ SPS
B. The Concept of SPS
C. Humans and SPS
D. Advantages of SPS2. Which of the following statements about SPS is TRUE?A. The research on SPS started in the 1960s is still not appreciated by the public.
B. The research is showing SPS can benefit environment and economy at present.
C. The energy from SPS is now being used in some developing countries.
D. The public don"t know about SPS because little time is devoted to the research.3. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ______.A. the present serious energy problems
B. where to get energy sources in the future
C. the importance of controlling world population
D. the need to explore new energy sources4. The writer"s attitude towards the research can best be summarized by the saying "______".A. In time of peace prepare for war
B. Put the cart before the horse
C. One man"s meat is another man"s poison
D. Easier said than done

完形填空。     Sometimes people call each other "scared-cat",but have you ever thought about this expression?
When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense,and there are changes in
the chemicals in its blood- stream.
    Although the cat doesn"t   1   this,its body is getting ready for action.
    If the danger continues,this animal will do one of the two things .It will   2   itself,or it will run
away as fast as it can.
       3 ,when people are excited,angry,scared,or aroused by other emotions,our bodies also go
through many   4   changes. Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense. All of these changes
make us more alert and ready to react. We,too,get ready to defend ourselves  5 run.
     Human beings,  6   ,have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and
let them 7 ,we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger,or hit somebody and
regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told someone you were lonely,or said you were
in love,and then   8   later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn"t always   9   to express your feelings
freely.
     Does this mean that it"s smarter always to   10   our feelings? No! If you   11   feelings of anger,
sadness,and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays   12  .Physical illnesses can

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year,two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week,despite the Chemistry final being on Monday,they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time there. However,with their hangovers(宿醉) and tiredness,they overslept all day Sunday and didn"t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then,they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study,but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn"t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys,happily and relieved,studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution(溶解).It was worth 5 points. "Cool," they thought,"this is going to be an easy final".

Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm- blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises, these reptiles(爬行动物) move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again. Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. Other desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water. Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted(适应) to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks. When the puddles(水坑) dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism(新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate. The camel - often called the ship of the desert - is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps(驼峰). A camel"s hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H2O, or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.
