The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.

Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.

To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team

before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.

The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

1. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents.

A. economically desirable

B. favorable to the environment

C. for holding music performances

D. designed for disaster relief

2. Mr Dunlop established his business .

A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint

B. with the approval of the City’s administration

C. in partnership with a finance group

D. with the help of a Japanese architect

3. It is implied in the passage that .

A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer

B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air

C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr Dunlop can be user-tailored

D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users

4. The passage is mainly concerned with .

A. an attempt at developing recyclable tents

B. some efforts at making full use of cardboards

C. an unusual success of a graduation project

D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that th e idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）

can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting

all their energy

And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people

read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

( ) 1. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A. To invite authors to guide readers.

B. To encourage people to read and share.

C. To involve p eople in community service.

D. To promote the friendship between cities.

( ) 2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A. They had little interest in reading.

B. They were too busy to read a book.

C. They came from many different backgrounds

D. They lacked support from the local government

( ) 3. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A. In large commu nities with little sense of unity

B. In large cities where libraries are far from home

C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population

D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached

( ) 4.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 pro bably mean

A. exchanged ideas with each other

B. discussed the meaning of a word

C. gamed life experience

D. used the same language

( ) 5.According to Nacy, the degree of students of the project is judged by

A.the careful selection of a proper book

B.the growing popularity of the writers

C. the number of people who benefit from reading.

D. the number of books that each person reads.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of m aking faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …

Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (阅览). Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly

creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.

A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.

The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books – an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.

1. The best title for this passage would be __________.

A. Three Benefits of Libraries

B. Libraries Going Digital

C. Space-saving E-learning

D. Security of Electronic Reading

66. Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?

A. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4

B. Paragraphs 3 and 4

C. Paragraphs 2 and 4

D. Paragraph 4

3. Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-libraries？

A. Old manuscripts can be moved more easily

B. Materials can be examined without being touched

C. Fewer staff will be required in libraries

D. Libraries will be able to move underground

4. What does the word ‘scrutinize’ probably mean?

A. keep for a while

B. reprint

C. restore

D. examine carefully

【科普知识型---阅读理解】

The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.

Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.

Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.

“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production. The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent. Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 perc ent of its needs. For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.

The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.

“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.

Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Produc ing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”

The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.

Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.

1．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Alternative energies in Japan

B．The world's largest geothermal plant

C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology

D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy

2．What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?

A．About 8%. B．Below 1%. C．Around 30%. D．Over 80%.

3．According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ________．A．a change of rules B．financial support

C．local people's help D．high technology

4．Geothermal energy is considered as a longterm program by ________．A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji B．Hideaki Matsui

C．Shigeto Yamada D．Yoko Ono

5．It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ________．

A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America

B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology

C．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great

D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan

【要点综述】文章主要讲述了日本正在考虑开发地热能。因为日本是地震多发国家，国家地热能非常丰富，所以地热能将是日本的新型替代能源。

1．D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了日本正在考虑开发地热能，围绕地热能的话题展开。故选D项。

2．B 细节理解题。从第七段“For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.”可知，日本地热能不到1%，主要依赖于化石燃料和原子能。故选B项。3．A 细节理解题。从倒数第四段“…adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.”可知，要开发地热能需要将现行的规章制度进行改变，故选A项。

4．B 细节理解题。从“Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，‘Producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project…”可知，Hideaki Matsui 认为地热能是个长期的项目，故选B项。

5．C 推理判断题。从最后两段可知，日本在地热能方面有着巨大的潜力，故选C项。
