Ireland is throwing away peat(泥炭) for energy and turning to wind.
Peat has a lot to recommend it. It sends off a pleasant smell when burned. It is a cheap source of energy; at its simplest it needs no more than digging by hand. But peat is also one of the dirtiest fuels available, emitting 23% more carbon dioxide than coal.
Ireland is unusual among developed countries in burning it for energy. Peat has been used on the island for at least 1, 000 years. But it may at last be on its way out as Ireland turns to another energy source of which it has unlimited quantities: wind.
Galway Wind Park will be Ireland ’s largest wind farm when it is completed, producing 169MW of power at peak capacity(容量), or about 3% of Ireland ’s average needs. It is only the latest development in Irish wind power, which has tripled in the last decade to more than 3GW of capacity. The renewable resource now provides a quarter of the electricity Ireland consumes every year.
Eirgrid, a state-owned company which manages the grid(电网) in both Northern Ireland and the Republic, says much more wind capacity is in the planning stages. Wind is difficult to manage because it is unpredictable, even on the shores with strong winds of western Ireland. Since wind turbines (涡轮机)do not turn consistently, the grid must be carefully tuned to keep it stable.
Eirgrid is planning a set of wires to continental Europe.
A report from SEAI, Ireland ’s energy authority, suggests that the island could produce enough wind electricity to match domestic demand by 2030, with more left over to export. Bord na Móna, the body responsible for developing Ireland ’s peatlands, has said it will stop using peat for electricity by the same year.
1. Which of the following statements about peat is right
A. Peat is a cheap and clean source of energy with a pleasant smell.
B. Peat in Ireland will be an export.
C. Ireland will stop using peat as fuel.
D. Peat is renewable and will never be used up.
2. What is the greatest difficulty in using wind energy
A. The wind power is not strong enough.
B. It is a high-cost project.
C. The wind power is unstable.
D. It won ’t produce enough electricity.
3. What can be the best title for the passage
A. The Change of Using Energy in Ireland
B. Stop Using Out-Of-Date Energy
C. Peat vs Wind Power
D. Ireland: A Country Using Wind Power

Londoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books—especially paperbacks, which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.
There are many streets in London containing bookshops. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the famous one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens ’ time. Some of these shops stock or will make efforts to get any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap second-hand books, collectors must go to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small hand-carts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, sometimes, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.
4. What does the underlined sentence “Londoners are great readers. ” mean
A. Londoners are great because they read many books.
B. Only great readers live in London.
C. Londoners are readers who read only great book.
D. Londoners read a lot.
5. According to this passage, Charing Cross Road________.
A. is in the suburbs of London
B. is famous for its bookshops
C. contains only big shops
D. is the cheapest place for Londoners to buy books
6. What do you know about Farringdon Road
A. It is the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books.
B. Cheap second-hand books can be found there.
C. It is in the West Central district of London.
D. Few people like to buy books there.
7. Which is the best title for this passage

B. The biggest bookshop in the world

【参考范文】
Dear Mark,
How is everything going I will tell you something about the trip to Beijing I went on with my parents recently. It was great! We visited many famous tourist spots, such as the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, the Bird ’s Nest, the Water Cube, and so on.
What attracted me most were the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City, with many treasures in the palace that stand for great Chinese culture. As a famous wonder of the world, the Great Wall is made of millions of bricks, each of which is very big and heavy. It still remains a mystery how the ancient people built it.
I really enjoy the trip to Beijing. I do hope you can come to China and see some of them one day.
Yours,
Li Hua

My parents recently visited Shanghai for the third time, and as usual I used their short visits to check out other parts of China for a few days. Last time we visited the Terracotta Soldiers in Xi ’an, and this time we went to Beijing to see all the usual sites, such as the Forbidden City, Beijing Hutongs and the Great Wall.
We got on the high-speed train at Shanghai Railway Station. As soon as we settled into our seats for the quick trip, Mom threw me a hardball, “How are Shanghai and Beijing different, Andy ”
I ’d never really thought about the differences and similarities between Beijing and Shanghai because I ’d always thought it was obvious. For many foreigners with not much background knowledge on China, Beijing and Shanghai are probably the only two cities they can name on the Chinese map. When I thought a little deeper about the differences, all I could say were my personal feelings.
“Shanghai feels more ‘big city ’ and Beijing feels more ‘Chinese ’” was my answer.
“More Chinese ”
I knew I had to do better, and tried to come up with a few more answers. But I couldn ’t.
After we returned to Shanghai, I was pleased when mom said she knew what I meant earlier about the “feeling” thing. While she loved both cities, she agreed that she had a very different feeling about them.
“With so many palaces and other historical things, Beijing felt more real, ” she said while obviously thinking deeply. “And Shanghai feels more international. ”
I couldn ’t have put it better myself!

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了约翰在买电视机的时候, 由于一则广告, 临时改变主意而去买照相机的故事。
1. 【解析】a。考查冠词。本句泛指 “一家电视机店”, 应用不定冠词, TV是以辅音音素开头的词, 应使用冠词a。故填a。
2. 【解析】had saved。考查时态。根据句意, 约翰“攒钱”应该是发生在他“rushed into”之前, 应用过去完成时态。故填had saved。
3. 【解析】twentieth/20th。考查序数词。本空修饰后面名词customer, 是单数, 再结合句意, 这里应该指“第二十个顾客”, 所以用序数词。故填twentieth或20th。
4. 【解析】so/and。考查连词。根据句意可知, 空格前后可以为因果关系或者并列关系。故填so或and。
5. 【解析】models。考查名词复数。model为可数名词, 前面有various修饰, 所以model用复数形式。故填models。
6. 【解析】how。考查感叹句。分析句子结构可知, see后从句为感叹句, 感叹的对象是形容词clear和colorful。故填how。
7. 【解析】introducing。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知, introduce与主语是逻辑主谓关系, 应用现在分词形式, 作伴随状语。故填introducing。
8. 【解析】attracted。考查时态。句意: 这款照相机吸引了约翰。根据文章内容, 本事件发生在过去, 应用一般过去时。故填attracted。
9. 【解析】suddenly。考查副词。此处修饰动词changed, 应用副词。故填suddenly。
10. 【解析】to get。考查非谓语动词。句意: 现在我必须快点去那家照相机店买那个照相机。分析本句句子结构和句意可知, get that camera在句中作目的状语, 应用不定式形式。故填to get。
