Life in the FutureGrammar and FunctionThe future continuous (将来进行时):
将来进行时由“助动词shall/ will + be + 现在分词”构成。shall用于第一人称单、复数; will用于各种人称。美国英语中所有的人称都用will。Grammare.g. Our work will end in March. We will/shall be returning to New York.将来进行时的用法
1. 表示将来某一时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的动作。
e.g. We will be seeing a fashion show
this time tomorrow afternoon.2. 用于代替一般将来时（多用于口语中），使语言生动形象。用法如下：
1) 预料将要发生的动作或情况。
e.g. The train will be arriving soon.2) 表示现已决定或安排将要做的事。
e.g. Doctor Smith will be giving
another talk on family health
at the same time next week.3) 解释将要发生动作的原因。
e.g. I needn’t write to him, because I’ll
be seeing him tomorrow.
4) 表示未来结果。
e.g. Stop the child or he’ll be falling
over.5) 表示现在或未来一个动作之后接着的另一个动作，前后两个动作是根据安排紧接着进行的。
e.g. Bob is leaving school in July, and
then he’ll be going to university.3. 表示婉转口气，表达有礼貌的询问或请求。
e.g. Will you be having some tea?
Will you be lending me your
dictionary?注意：将来进行时可以与be going to连用。
e.g. I’m going to be working all day
tomorrow, so I won’t have time to
buy Mother’s present.将来进行时常用的时间状语有soon, tomorrow, this evening, on Sunday, by this time tomorrow, in two days, tomorrow evening等。e.g. By this time tomorrow, I’ll be
lying on the beach. 将来进行时与现在进行时的几点区别：1. 现在进行时表示一种经过考虑的、将来要进行的动作， 而将来进行时通常表示正常过程中会发生的动作，因此将来进行时不如现在进行时那样肯定，比后者偶然性要大一些：e.g. I am seeing Tom tomorrow.
I’ll be seeing Tom tomorrow.第一句意指汤姆或说话人已经特意安排了这次会面，而第二句则意指汤姆和说话人将在日常进程中见面。不过这种差别并不是在任何情况下都很重要，而且常常两者都可以使用。He’ll be taking his exam next week.
也可以说：
He is taking his exam next week.
He won’t be coming to the party.
也可以说：
He isn’t coming to the party.2. 现在进行时通常用于表示不远的将来的动作， 必须有确定的时间，而将来进行时可以和确定的时间状语连用，也可以不连用；将来进行时既可以表示不远的将来的动作，也可以表示较远的将来的动作。可以说：We are meeting him tomorrow.
但不说 We are meeting him next year.若使用将来进行时，可以说：
We will be meeting him tomorrow / next year.We ____ probably ________ the kitchen more as a family room.
We ________________ more time in the bath.
Everyone ____________ hard to take care of the environment.willbe using will be spendingwill be trying Complete these sentences from the interview in Listening and speaking.At nine o’clock tonight I ____________ (do) my homework.

6. A Chinese astronaut _________ (reach)

Task 3 Listening
This section is meant to improve the students’ pronunciation.
T: Good! You all have done a good job. Now I will play the tape for you, listen carefully and imitate the pronunciation. At the same time pay attention to the language points in the passage.
Task 4 Language points
This step is to help the students understand the text, build their vocabulary and improve their abilities to put what they have learned into practice.
After listening.
T: Let’s look at the screen. I’ll explain some language points to you. (Show the slide).
1. To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.
1) “to get rid of ...” is used to express the purpose.
2) “preventing landfill and environmental problems” is used to express the result.
3) load ... with: put a load on
e.g 1). We are loaded with too much homework.
2). The truck was loaded with oranges and it was heading north.
2. No smoking will be allowed within a future city’s limits. “Within a city’s limits” means “within the permission of a future city”.
3. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
“no matter where they live” here is equal to “wherever they live” and it is used as adverbial. If
“no matter where / what / how ...” is not used as adverbial, it can’t be substituted by “wherever / whatever / however ...”
e.g 1) Whatever you say, I won’t believe you═No matter what you say, I won’t believe you.
2) Whoever comes in last should close the door.(∨)
No matter who comes in last should close the door.(×)
4. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic. “With”structure: with+ noun / pron + Participle / Infinitive / prep phrase / adj / adv
e.g 1) I felt nervous, with him standing here.
2) With all the problems settled, he felt relaxed.
3) He is sure to succeed, with so many people to help him.
4) This is my first book, with the second to come out next month.
5) They all rushed out, with bags on their backs.
6) He sat there, with the door open.
Task 5 Practice
This task includes Exercises 3-5, designed to help the students to have a deep understanding of the text and help them to build their vocabulary. Teachers can ask the students to do the exercises individually, then check their answers with their partners, at last with the whole class.
T: Now that you have learned the text, let’s do some exercises to see how well you have understood the text and the words and expressions. Turn to Page 3 and let’s do the exercises here. Do the exercises on your own, and then check the answers with your partners. At last I’ll ask some of you to read out your answers.
Suggested answers:
Exercise 3: 1. disability 2. outdoors 3. solar 4. recreation 5. net 6. online 7. clinic 8. urban 9. mall
10. run out 11. surgery
Exercise 4: arrest→criminals; carry out→operation; load→huge spaceship; recycle→natural resource; rely on→alternative energy; waste→material
Exercise 5: 1. a risky business 2. outpatient 3. get rid of
4. senior citizens 5. free of charge 6. landfill
Step Ⅳ Discussion
The discussion is designed to develop the students’ imagination. Teachers can ask the students to discuss the questions in pairs and ask some students to tell the results of their discussions.
T: There are some predictions made in the passage. Do you think all of them will come true?
Ss: No, we don’t think all of them will come true.
T: Well, let’s have a discussion in pairs and find out which prediction is the strangest or most useful. And which do you think will come true first and which last.
After a few minutes.
T: OK! I’d like to know the results of your discussions. Any volunteers?
S1: I think “Forget smoking” is most useful. People in the future will pay more attention to their health and lead a more comfortable life, but smoking is bad for their health, so smoking won’t be allowed.
S2: I think the prediction about recreation is very useful. In that way people will enjoy a more happy and comfortable life.
S3: I find the prediction about “Batman nets” very strange. How police will use it to catch criminals seems very strange.
S4: I feel the prediction about telesurgery very strange. How will doctors diagnose illnesses for the patients?
S5: In my opinion, the prediction about cars will come true first, for now many motor cycles powered by electricity are on sale in shops, which is friendly to the environment, so they are very popular.
S6: Personally, shopping online will come true first. Now computers are widely used and it is likely that people will do their shopping online. Going shopping will become a form of entertainment.【出处：21教育名师】
S7: I believe the prediction about space travel will last come true. Because there is still a long way to go for us to develop space technology, and moreover the number of the people who is able to go on space travels is very limited.
S8: I think the prediction about garage ships will come true last. After all, people produce much more garbage than the ships can carry to space, what’s more, space technology needs further developing.
T: Well done! All of you have expressed yourselves fluently, and I think all of your opinions are reasonable.
Step Ⅴ Summary and Homework
Make a summary about the text and assign the homework.
T: Today we’ve learned the passage about the city of the future. We believe the city in the future will be more beautiful and life in the future will be more comfortable. But all these need our hard work now. Only by hard work can we build a beautiful future. Let’s work hard for the beautiful future. And the homework for today is as follows:
1. Read the text fluently and pick out the sentences you appreciate.
2. Remember the words and phrases we learned here.
3. Write about the school of the future in about 60 words.

5. Language points
T: Look at the screen. Let’s go through the language points of this part.
1. Not all predictions come true.
It belongs to a partly negative sentence. When “all, both, everything, everybody, always ...” are used together with “not”, they are partly negative.
e.g 1) All that glitters is not gold.
2) He doesn’t always come late.
2. With the first moon colonies predicted for the 1970’s, work is now in progress on the types of building required for men to stay in when they’re on the moon.
Pay attention to the structure “with +noun / pron + -ing / done / to do / prep phrase / adj / adv”
e.g 1) The newly chosen manager felt worried, with so much work to be done.
2) He felt himself infected, with so many people excited about the news.
3) He is sure to win the match, with so many people to help him.
3. In progress: being done or made
e.g 1) Please be quiet! The recording is in progress.
2) The examination is in progress.
4. ... and guitar is on the way out.
On the way out: going out of fashion or favor
e.g 1) This kind of clothes are on the way out.
2) It is said that the Zero Band is on the way out.
5. ... housewives will probably have a robot shaped like a box with one large eye on the top.“shaped” here is used as attributive. “ shape” means “give a shape or form to sth；have a great influence on sb / sth”
e.g 1) The flower is shaped like a bird.
2) The writer shaped what he had in his mind into the novel.
3) The experience shaped my future.

Ss: Ok.
Possible version 1:
My ideal house for the future
My house lies on the coast of the sea, which is surrounded with green grass and trees. It is made of metal and glass, so it is very strong and beautiful. It contains a basic house structure, with moveable walls, doors and windows. There are two big bedrooms and a big living room, which face the east. The bathroom and the kitchen are big and comfortable, too. There is a large balcony with all kinds of flowers. A robot acts as a “housewife”, who does some cleaning and cooking. We live a very happy life in the house.
Possible version 2:
My ideal house for the future
My house lies at the foot of a mountain, in front of which goes a small river. The ceiling is made of special metal, which can produce electricity from the sun. The walls are made of special foam, which is very light and reduces outside noise penetration. The living room lies in the middle of the house with two bedrooms on its sides. There is a bathroom in the north and a kitchen in the west. I paint the rooms in different colors, which look very beautiful. A central computer controls the temperature of the house and the lights of the house.

Computers in Future Jobs
Computer consulting is one of the most important jobs in the future. Computers are the future whether we like it or not. Some people dislike computers, because of the complications it takes. Computers are not exactly the easiest tools to work with, but they are the most rewarding, and they are the future. Future cars will all be run by computer. You will be able to talk to a car and it will take you to your destination. Telephones are technically computerized. You will soon be able to talk to a person on the telephone as well as look at the person you are talking to on a television set. Also television is computerized. Soon we will have true three dimensional television. We will be able to watch television like we never have watched it before. For people who don’t know much about computers, you will be lost in the future. You should learn what you can while you still have the chance, because things will develop quickly for you and you will not be able to cope with new technological events. Computer consulting is a job, I have chosen long before the advance.

Not many women have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Until 2004, no African woman ever had. That was when Dr. Wangari Maathai won it — for planting trees. You might ask, what do trees have to do with peace?www.21-cn-jy.com
“Many wars are fought over resources,” Dr. Maathai said as she accepted the prize. “If we conserve resources better, the fighting will stop.”2-1-c-n-j-y
Dr. Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940. Unlike most African women, she went to school. High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge. She went to college in Kansas and earned a master’s degree in science from the University of Pittsburgh. She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph.D. Later, Dr. Maathai taught animal science at Kenya’s University of Nairobi.
As an educated woman, Dr. Maathai feels responsible for leading others. Dr. Maathai started her work in 1977 by planting nine trees in her backyard in Kenya. Trees are important in Africa for several reasons. First, they keep soil from eroding (流失) into streams, thus cutting down on pollution and improving the soil. Second, trees provide firewood. So many trees have been cut down in Africa that women must walk far from home to find wood for cooking. New trees can also keep deserts from spreading.
Dr. Maathai’s Green Belt Movement pays local women for every tree they plant that is still alive three months later. In its first 15 years, the Green Belt Movement employed at least 50,000 women and planted more than 10 million trees. Following Dr. Maathai’s example, the Kenyan government increased its own tree-planting efforts. The movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa.
When the land and people’s lives have improved, Dr. Maathai says, peace will follow.
21. The underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A. use??? ???? ????????????? B. protect???? ????
C. find ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? D. provide
22. Dr. Wangari Maathai is the first African woman to _____.
A. win the Nobel Peace Prize
B. encourage people to plant trees
C. get a master’s degree in science
D. realize the power of knowledge
23. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The importance of trees.
B. How trees prevent pollution.
C. How planting trees works in Africa.
D. The history of tree-planting in Africa.

A. aims to provide job opportunities for women
B. attracted the world’s attention to Africa
C. pays for every newly-planted tree
D. covered a large area in Africa

Sam Martin, 24, from Belfast
I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly. I certainly don’t enjoy shopping. It doesn’t matter when I shop — I probably won’t buy gifts that people will want anyway. I just look at what’s for sale and choose from whatever is there. I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what to buy anyone before I get to the shop, and I don’t care about getting it at the best price.
Lucy Collins, 34, from Liverpool
I’ve always finished all my shopping by the middle of August. I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to. I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price. This year, I’ve spent ￡230 and saved ￡695 on the prices.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year. I also like knowing I’ve bought presents that people will enjoy, rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve.【版权所有：21教育】
Frankie Bircham, 31, from Hertfordshire
I’ve always finished shopping by the end of September. I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want — I don’t like “Oh, that’ll do”. I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I’m getting the best possible deal. It’s cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don’t like when it arrives.
Andi Euridge, 40, from London
?????? I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November. I don’t like online shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels (包裹)not arriving in time.
I live on a tight budget (预算) and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month’s pay. So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.
25. We can learn from the text that Sam Martin _____.
A. is an organized shopper
B. hates shopping in a hurry
C. always buys presents at a discount
D. enjoys doing some last-minute shopping
26. What do Lucy Collins and Frankie Bircham have in common?
A. They do shopping when the shops are quiet.
B. They care about the receivers’ feelings.
C. They choose presents everywhere.
D. They like online shopping.
27. Why does Andi Euridge dislike online shopping?
A. It makes him run over budget.
B. It’s not much cheaper than shops.
C. Returning the goods troubles him.
D. It causes anxiety when parcels don’t arrive in time.

Fashion has always been about change — creating a reason for the customer to buy something new. The next 30 years of the sale will be all about the customer’s interests. And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire (需求). “The easiest thing to say is, it will be different,” says Nordstrom, president of one of America’s oldest department stores. “There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product. What that product is, how we satisfy the customer, that’s open.”
In many ways, this “different” world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA, with technology as the driving force. Think digital (数字的) fitting rooms, where technology simulates (模拟) body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit. Or 3-D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes. Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper’s personal data to learn about their tastes and interests.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Stores will still have a presence, but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience — touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped. Where customers shop, increasingly, won’t matter. A person could shop from home, from a car or even on the subway.
Intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them — avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room. When the shopper of the future is ready to check out, a cellphone will do. “The cash registers (收银机) of today won’t exist anymore,” Nordstrom says. “We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile, but don’t expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen.”【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
29. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. It’s not a secret.
B. It is not so clear.
C. We don’t know what to do.
D. We haven’t discussed it yet.
30. The author explains the existence of the different world in Paragraph 2 by _____.
A. presenting research findings?????
B. making comparisons
C. giving instructions?????????
D. using examples?
31. According to Nordstrom, what will probably disappear in the future?
A. Salesmen.? ???????????? ?????? B. Stores.
C. Cash registers.?? ??????????? D. Mirrors.
32. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Future of shopping
B. Fashion in the future
C. Time to change your shopping habits

The Flat World and Education, by Linda Darling-Hammond2·1·c·n·j·y
While scores on the tests required by “No Child Left Behind” have steadily (平稳地) risen, America’s students are always falling behind on international testing measures. Why? According to Stanford education professor Darling-Hammond, it’s because U.S. schools, “designed at the turn of the last century,” are in need of a complete change. In this book, she describes the latest education models used by schools all over the world, which she argues could offer a long-term road map to changing the American public school system. ?21*cnjy*com

If you happen to visit Venice’s world-famous St Mark’s Square in the next few months, you may notice something unusual. Among the thousands of gray pigeons (鸽子) around the square, are about 35 brightly colored ones. These birds are attracting worldwide attention. However, they are not miracles (奇迹) of nature. ?36
????? The colored pigeons are Swiss artist Julian Charriere and German photographer Julius von Bismark’s contribution to the city’s 13th Architecture Biennale. ?37
In order to get the color onto these birds, the artists created special pigeon equipment. ??38 ?The artists say that the birds are not harmed at all during the process. They do believe, however, that making them look more attractive is beneficial to the birds since they are better respected by humans, who normally consider pigeons to be annoying.
Judging from the positive reaction these colorful birds are getting, the artists seem to have a point. ?39
Even if most of us don’t like how they look, we shouldn’t change them as we wish. This of course is not the first time animals have been colored for the pleasure of humans. In New Zealand a farmer has colored his sheep pink to attract more tourists. ?40 ?
What do you think? Should we change the appearance of things that are not attractive to us just because we can??
A. They were once very helpful to humans.
B. In fact, they are works of “art” created by humans.
C. Once the pigeon steps inside, it is immediately colored.
D. There are many more examples in other parts of the world.
E. It provides a place for architects and designers to show new projects.?
F. The color-blind pigeons are not treated any differently by the other pigeons.
G. However, many people believe we should leave the birds in their natural state.

Someone told me that Li Ming had stolen a pen out my deskmate. I felt I should let my deskmate knew, and before I told my deskmate about it, he asked Li Ming about it. He didn’t admit steal the pen and it caused a terribly argument between them. Later it turned out that the story wasn’t true, and my deskmate refuses to talk to me. It took quite few days for my deskmate to accept my apology. I’ve learned my lessons from it. I shouldn’t have mistakenly believed what that others said and passed it on. Although my deskmate has forgiven him, I still feel ashamed.

In the morning I will be woken up by a man-made biological clock, which is connected to my body before I go to bed. As usual I will eat some fresh vegetables for breakfast, which are planted in a healthy way in my apartment. Then I will drink a glass of milk that is prepared by my robot cook. With rapid advances in science and technology, networking will become more convenient. So I will work at home most of the time, communicating with others through the Internet.21·cn·jy·com
In the afternoon, I will go to the gym in my flying machine powered by solar energy, where I will swim for an hour in the swimming pool whose temperature is controlled by a computer.
In a word, my future life will be more healthy, comfortable and fascinating.
That’s all. Thank you.

A PROTECTION OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the 1 . Jane has studied these animals for many years and helped people 2 how much they 3 like humans. 4 a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to a place 5 we left the chimp family 6 in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits while the animals in the group begin to wake up and move. Then we follow as the family begins to 7 into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that everybody will be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. But the evening makes it all 8 . The mother chimp and her babies play in the tree and, after they come into her arms, we see them go to sleep together in their 9 for the night.www.21-cn-jy.com
Nobody before has fully understand chimp behaviour. Jane spent many years 10 and recording their daily activities. She did not study at a university but she was determined to work with animals in their own environment. When she arrived at Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one thing she 11 was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other and her study of their body language helped her 12 their social system21·世纪*教育网
For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and 13 the life of these animals. She has 14 for them to be left in the wild and not used for 15 or advertisements. She has set up special places where they can live safely. Her life is very busy but as she says:
“Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It’s terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they lucky?’ And then think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget…”
She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor’s degree for studies, showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women. 【出处：21教育名师】
II. Choose the correct answers after reading the passage.

A. went into the forest slowly B. left the chimp family sleeping in a tree

C. understand and respect the lives of chimps D. live in the forest as men can

4. She supposes that people should not use chimps for entertainment. ( )
5. She has spent more than forty years helping people understand her work. ( )
6. She has built many homes for the wild animals to live in. ( )
IV. Language points and grammar.
This means going back to a place where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.
这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩睡觉的大树旁。
mean doing与 mean to do的意思不同，前者意为“意味着”，后者意为“打算;想要去做某事”。如：
To help them means helping yourself. 帮助他们就是帮助你自己。
Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude to you. 对不起，我没有想对你不礼貌。
问题：在你学习的过程中，有哪些动词的用法与mean相同？请举例说明。
But the evening makes it all worthwhile. 但是到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
worthwhile值得花费精力（时间）的；值得花钱的。如：

They are getting two jugs (罐) of milk and filling their car with it. Next, you see a normal-looking car stop in a driveway. Instead of the people getting out of their car through a door, you see them getting out of the whole side of the car.
Then, you turn around and see a school. You decide to go in. It looks normal, but it is not. It is more advanced （高级的）. The kids are not acting up （调皮）. They are just sitting there listening to the teacher. Every once in a while you see them laugh. Instead of normal textbook work you are used to, you see just games in the books. They are learning games though. www.21-cn-jy.com

Wind Energy -- Energy from Moving Air
Wind is simple air in motion. It is caused by the uneven heating of the earth surface by the sun. Since the earth surface is made of very different types of land and water, it absorbs the sun heat at different rates. www-2-1-cnjy-com
During the day, the air above the land heats up more quickly than the air over water. The warm air over the land expands and rises, and the heavier, cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating winds. At night, the winds are reversed because the air cools more rapidly over land than over water. 2-1-c-n-j-y
In the same way, the large atmospheric winds that circle the earth are created because the land near the earth's equator is heated more by the sun than the land near the North and South Poles. 21·cn·jy·com
Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity. Wind is called a renewable energy source because the wind will blow as long as the sun shines.
The History of Wind
Since ancient times, people have harnessed the winds energy. Over 5,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians used wind to sail ships on the Nile River. Later, people built windmills to grind wheat and other grains. The earliest known windmills were in Persia (Iran). These early windmills looked like large paddle wheels. Centuries later, the people of Holland improved the basic design of the windmill. They gave it propeller-type blades, still made with sails. Holland is famous for its windmills. American colonists used windmills to grind wheat and corn, to pump water, and to cut wood at sawmills. As late as the 1920s, Americans used small windmills to generate electricity in rural areas without electric service. When power lines began to transport electricity to rural areas in the 1930s, local windmills were used less and less, though they can still be seen on some Western ranches. 21教育网
The oil shortages of the 1970s changed the energy picture for the country and the world. It created an interest in alternative energy sources, paving the way for the re-entry of the windmill to generate electricity. In the early 1980s wind energy really took off in California, partly because of state policies that encouraged renewable energy sources. Support for wind development has since spread to other states, but California still produces more than twice as much wind energy as any other state.
The first offshore wind park in the United States is planned for an area off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts (read an article about the Cape Cod Wind Project).
How Wind Machines Work
Like old fashioned windmills, today wind machines use blades to collect the wind kinetic energy. Windmills work because they slow down the speed of the wind. The wind flows over the airfoil shaped blades causing lift, like the effect on airplane wings, causing them to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity. 21cnjy.com
With the new wind machines, there is still the problem of what to do when the wind is blowing. At those times, other types of power plants must be used to make electricity.2·1·c·n·j·y
Wind Power Plan
Wind power plants, or wind farms as they are sometimes called, are clusters of wind machines used to produce electricity. A wind farm usually has dozens of wind machines scattered over a large area. The Big Spring Wind Power Project in Texas has 46 wind turbines that generate enough electricity to power 7,300 homes.
Unlike power plants, many wind plants are not owned by public utility companies. Instead they are owned and operated by business people who sell the electricity produced on the wind farm to electric utilities. These private companies are known as Independent Power Producers. 21世纪教育网版权所有
Operating a wind power plant is not as simple as just building a windmill in a windy place. Wind plant owners must carefully plan where to locate their machines. One important thing to consider is how fast and how much the wind blows.
As a rule, wind speed increases with altitude and over open areas with no windbreaks. Good sites for wind plants are the tops of smooth, rounded hills, open plains or shorelines, and mountain gaps that produce wind funneling.
Wind speed varies throughout the country. It also varies from season to season. In Tehachapi, California, the wind blows more from April through October than it does in the winter. This is because of the extreme heating of the Mojave Desert during the summer months. The hot air over the desert rises, and the cooler, denser air above the Pacific Ocean rushes through the Tehachapi mountain pass to take its place. In a state like Montana, on the other hand, the wind blows more during the winter. Fortunately, these seasonal variations are a good match for the electricity demands of the regions. In California, people use more electricity during the summer for air conditioners. In Montana, people use more electricity during the winter months for heating. www.21-cn-jy.com
Wind Production
All together, wind machines in the United States generate 17 billion kWh per year of electricity, enough to serve 1.6 million households. This is enough electricity to power a city the size of Chicago, but it is only a small fraction of the nation's total electricity production, about 0.4 percent. The amount of electricity generated from wind has been growing fast in recent years, tripling since 1998.New technologies have decreased the cost of producing electricity from wind, and growth in wind power has been encouraged by tax breaks for renewable energy and green pricing programs. Many utilities around the country offer green pricing options that allow customers the choice to pay more for electricity that comes from renewable sources. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Wind machines generate electricity in 30 different states. The states with the most wind production are California, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wyoming.
The United States ranks third in the world in wind power capacity, behind Germany and Spain. Most of the wind power plants in the world are located in Europe and in the United States where government programs have helped support wind power development. 21·世纪*教育网
Wind and the Environment
In the 1970s, oil shortages pushed the development of alternative energy sources. In the 1990s, the push came from a renewed concern for the environment in response to scientific studies indicating potential changes to the global climate if the use of fossil fuels continues to increase. Wind energy offers a viable, economical alternative to conventional power plants in many areas of the country. Wind is a clean fuel; wind farms produce no air or water pollution because no fuel is burned.
The most serious environmental drawbacks to wind machines may be their negative effect on wild bird populations and the visual impact on the landscape. To some, the glistening blades of windmills on the horizon are an eyesore; to others, they are a beautiful alternative to conventional power plants.
太阳能汽车
汽车用的燃料是汽油和柴油等，它们都是从石油中提炼出来的。然而，石油这种矿物燃料是不能再生的，用一点就少一点，总有一天要用完。据科学家们预计，目前世界上已探明的石油储量将于2020年左右被采尽。因此，汽车将会出现挨受“饥饿”的危险，人类将面临着能源的挑战。 从另一方面来说，石油本身就是一种宝贵的化工原料，可以用来制造塑料、合成橡胶和合成纤维等。把石油作为燃料烧掉了，不但十分可惜，而且还污染了人类赖以生存的环境。 解决这个难题的唯一可行办法，就是加紧开发新能源。而太阳能就是这些新开发能源中的佼佼者。 金焰四射的太阳，其表面是一片烈焰翻腾的火海，温度为6000℃左右。在太阳内部，温度高达两千万度以上。所以，太阳能一刻不停地发出大量的光和热，为人类送来光明和温暖，它也成了取之不尽、用之不竭的能源聚宝盆。将太阳光变成电能，是利用太阳能的一条重要途径。人们早在本世纪50年代就制成了第一个光电池。将光电池装在汽车上，用它将太阳光不断地变成电能，使汽车开动起来。这种汽车就是新兴起的太阳能汽车。 你看，在太阳能汽车上装有密密麻麻像蜂窝一样的装置，它就是太阳能电池板。平常我们看到的人造卫星上的铁翅膀，也是一种供卫星用电的太阳能电池板。太阳能电池依据所用半导体材料不同，通常分为硅电池、硫化镉电池、砷化镓电池等，其中最常用的是硅太阳能电池。硅太阳能电池有圆形的、半圆形的和长方形的等几种。在电池上有像纸一样薄的小硅片。在硅片的一面均匀地掺进一些硼，另一面掺入一些磷，并在硅片的两面装上电极，它就能将光能变成电能。 在“利比特布利克二号太阳能汽车顶上，有一个圆弧形的太阳能电池板，板上整齐地排列着许多太阳能电池。这些太阳能电池在阳光的照射下，电极之间产生电动势，然后通过连接两个电极的导线，就会有电流输出。通常，硅太阳能电池能把10%～15%的太阳能转变成电能。它既使用方便，经久耐用，又很干净，不污染环境，是比较理想的一种电源。只是光电转换的比率小了一些。近年来，美国已研制成光电转换率达35%的高性能太阳能电池。澳大利亚用激光技术制成的太阳能电池，其光电转换率达24.2%，而且成本与柴油发电相当。这些都为光电池在汽车上的应用开辟了广阔的前景。 早期的太阳能汽车是在墨西哥制成的。这种汽车，外形像一辆三轮摩托车，在车顶上架有一个装太阳能电池的大棚。在阳光照射下，太阳能电池供给汽车电能，使汽车的速度达到每小时40公里，由于这辆汽车每天所获得的电能只能行40分钟，所以它还不能跑远路。1984年9月，我国首次研制的“太阳号”太阳能汽车试验成功，并开进了北京中南海的勤政殿，向中央领导报喜。这也表明了我国在研制新型汽车方面已达到世界先进水平。 现在世界上很多国家都在研制太阳能汽车，并进行交流和比赛。1987年11月，在澳大利亚举行了一次世界太阳能汽车拉力大赛。有7个国家的25辆太阳能汽车参加了比赛。赛程全长3200公里，几乎纵贯整个澳大利亚国土。在这次大赛中，美国“圣雷易莎”号太阳能赛车以44小时54分的成绩跑完全程，夺得了冠军。“圣雷易莎”号太阳能赛车，虽然使用的是普通的硅太阳能电池，但它的设计独特新颖，采用了像飞机一样的外形，可以利用行驶时机翼产生的升力来抵消车身的重量，而且安装了最新研制成功的超导磁性材料制成的电机，因此使这辆赛车在大赛中创造了时速100公里的最高纪录。21世纪教育网版权所有
太阳能汽车不仅节省能源，消除了燃料废气的污染，而且即使在高速行驶时噪音也很小。因此，太阳能汽车已引起人们的极大兴趣，并将在今后得到迅速的发展。
