California Gives Green Light to Space Solar Power

Energy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality, now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatt(兆瓦) of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016. But some major challenges will have to be overcome if the technology is to be used widely.

A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites which it says will use radio waves to beam energy down to a receiving station on Earth.

The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in geosynchronous ( 与地球同步的) orbit. Earth-based solar cells, by contrast, can only collect sun-light during daytime and when skies are clear.

But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服) with the high cost per kilogram of launching things into space, says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette,Indiana, "If you're talking 'about it being economically viable or power of the Earth,it's a tough go," he says.

Cal Boerman,Solaren's director of energy services, says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down. "We knew we had to come up with a different, revolutionary design,'he says.A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system's weight, including using inflatable mirrors to focus sunlight on solar cells,so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.

But using mirrors introduces other challenges including keeping the solar cells from overheating, says Schwartz. "You have to take care of heat dissipation(散发) because your're now concentrating a lot of energy in one place," he says. According to the company's patent Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool.

Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space based solar power work it is not expecting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy. Laws in California and other states require increasing use of renewable energy in coming years, he points out. "To meet those needs we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources," he says.

1.Solar-power satellites will use radio waves to beam energy down from space.

A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

2、This technology which collects energy from space will be used widely.

A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

3、Solaren is going to design 200 solar-power satellites.

8、Space-based solar power will rule out other forms of renewable energy sources.

A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

9、Many countries will grant permission for the use of spaced-basedsolar power soon.

A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

10、There is no more need for other renewable energy sources if the company makes the space-based solar power work successfully.（）

A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

第二部分：阅读选择(第11～15题。每题2分.共10分)阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项。回答11-16题

Rising College Selectivity

Rising college selectivity doesn't mean that students are smarter and more serious than in the past. It's a function of excess demand for higher education occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry.

The recession has only increased demand. The vast majority of students aren't going to college because of a thirst for knowledge They're there because they need a job, and they need to get the credentials and one hopes, the knowledge and skills behind the credentials-that will get them into the labor market.

As higher education has become a seller's market, the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions and their admissions requirements but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent.

The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we can't seriously expect to increase educational attainment if we're not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding.

That said, the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective. The problem is on the public policy side. The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment.

It's the right goal, we just need a financing strategy to get there.That doesn't mean just more money although some more money will be needed. It also means better attention to effectiveness and educational attainment. We know how to do it,if we want to.

11．The demand for higher education has increased because

A.the number of students keeps growing

B.there is a boost in the labor market

C.of the rising college selectivity

D.of the economic depression

12、According to most students, what is the most essential condition that enables them to get into the labor market?

A.Diplomas.

B.Being employed.

C.Going to college.

D.Knowledge and skills.

13、Since higher education has become a seller's market, the national goal to increase college attainment

A.will be fulfilled in a short time

B.will be difficult to achieve

C.will draw more public concern

D.will demand more financial input

14、As it is mentioned in the 4th paragraph, gaps have grown dramatically between.

A.the students and the slow ones

B.the advanced countries and the others

C.the selective institutions and the rest

D.the rich families and the poor ones

15、What does the author think should be modified?

A.The selectivity of elite institutions.

B.The industrialization of education.

C.The goal of education attainment.

D.The government's funding strategy.

The Cake

But her mother's eyes never made it all the way to the table. "Just look at this mess!"she moaned. "How many times have I talked to you about cleaning up after yourself?"

"But Mom l was only..."

"I should make you clean this up right now but I'm too tired to stay up with you to make sure you get it done right," her mother said. __26__

Honey," Cindy's father interjected gently "take a look at the table. "

"I know--it's a mess," his wife said coldly. __27__ She stormed up the stairs and into her room slamming the door shut behind her.

For a few moments Cindy and her father stood silently, neither one knowing what to say. At last she looked up at him, her eyes moist and red. "She never saw the cake," she said.

__28__ From time to time we all allow ourselves to be blinded to issuesterm significance by stuff that seems awfully important right now, but isn't. Muddy shoes, lost lunch money and messy kitchens are troublesome, and they deserve their place among life's frustrations. __29__ Is a lost dollar more valuable than a youngster's emerging~? And while kitchen sanitation is important, is it worth the sacrifice of tender feelings and relationships?

I'm not saying that our children don't need to learn responsibility, or to occasionally suffer the painful consequences of their own bad choices. __30__ But as parents,we must never forget that we're not just teaching lessons--we're teaching children. That means there are times when we really need to see the mess in the kitchen, and times when we only need to see the cake.

A."The whole kitchen is a disaster. I can't stand to look at it. "

B.But what's a little mud--even on new carpet--compared to a child's self-esteem?

C.She gestured grandly toward the kitchen table, where a slightly off-balance two-layer chocolate cake awaited their inspection.

D.Those lessons are vital and need to be carefully taught.

E."So you'll do it first thing in the morning. "

F.Unfortunately, Cindy's mother isn't the only parent who suffers from Situational Timbereular Glaucoma--the occasional inability to see the forest for the trees.

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s
