听力原文:W: Welcome to our program. Today Prof. Johnson is going to talking about solar po
wer.

M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.

W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south.

M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from $100 to more than $500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.

W: Wow! That is really big business.

What do we learn about the use of solar energy in the U. S. ?

A.It is very well established.

B.It is relatively new.

C.It is found in one million homes.

D.It is being rapidly expanded.

If the sun has enough【C1】______to warm and light the whole earth, it must have enough powe
r to do other things,【C2】______. Can we use the sun's【C3】______energy to supply electricity, or at least to perform. the function which electricity or other types of power usually perform? The answer is【C4】______.

For example, people have for many years been using the【C5】______heat of the sun to cook by solar【C6】______which have been built with several incurred【C7】______reflecting the sun and focusing the heat on the cooking element. This【C8】______can be used like a gas or electric stove; it is more expensive to make but it doesn't need any【C9】______and so costs【C10】______to use. Another【C11】______of using solar energy is in house heating.

The【C12】______of energy we use most is electricity, and every day more is【C13】______. But electricity has to be made too, and to make it huge quantities of fuel is required -- oil, coal, gas and nowadays even uranium.

The question which【C14】______everyone today is: how long will these fuels【C15】______? Nobody knows it for sure,【C16】______most experts think it will soon be difficult to obtain sufficient electricity from these sources. It is possible that the sun can make a(n)【C17】______here, too.

Solar power has already been used to produce【C18】______heat. In Southern France a solar furnace has been built,【C19】______temperatures reach more than 3 000 centigrade. This furnace is not only used for experiment【C20】______, but could be used to produce steam for a power station.

【C1】

A.power

B.time

C.heat

D.temperature

In the United States the science of climate change still remains a controversial issue. Pa
rt of the problem is that it is complex and hard to isolate its parts. We do know how vital it is to life. The atmosphere forms a gaseous, protective envelope around earth protecting the earth from the cold of space, from harmful ultraviolet light, and from all but the largest meteors. After traveling over 93 million miles, solar energy strikes the atmosphere and earth's surface, warming the planet and creating what is known as the "biosphere" which is the region of earth capable of sustaining life. Atmospheric circulation is one important reason that life on earth can exist at higher latitudes because equatorial heat is transported poleward, moderating the climate.

The atmosphere is not just a protector but also a great transporter. The transport of water vapor in the atmosphere is an important mechanism by which heat energy is redistributed poleward. Heat energy absorbed at the equator is deposited at the poles and the temperature gradient between these regions is reduced. The circulation of the atmosphere and the weather it generates is but one example of the many complex, interdependent events of nature. The web of life depends on the proper functioning of these natural mechanisms for its continued existence.

Some argue that climate change is too complicated to be attributed only to human activity. For example, fossil studies of radiolaria, a group of one-celled animals characterized by silicon-containing shells, have given scientists a fairly accurate account of climatic conditions in the distant past. Geologists found these 450, 000-year-old microorganisms preserved in cores of sediment taken beneath the floor of the Indian Ocean. They provide a record of cycles of climatic changes, determined by the alternating layers of species of warm and cold-preferring radiolaria. We now have confirmation that changes in the earth's orbital geometry caused the ice ages.

This does not let us off the hook because although we can hardly alter the basic forces at work that alter climate, even small contributions by humans can have dramatic effects. Given nature's interconnectedness, it is possible that the most serious threats have yet to be recognized.

The first paragraph of the text deals mainly with the earth atmosphere's ______.

A.sheltering effect

B.reviving effect

C.invigorating effect

D.cleansing effect

Since about 1800, near the beginning of the industrial revolution, coal, petroleum and gas
have been used at a rapidly increasing rate. The supply of these【C1】______is limited and electric power is very【C2】______in many places. Some scientists believe solar energy is the only【C3】______that can meet the world's enormous【C4】______for power. Great progress had been made harnessing the sun. Not only is the sun now used in cooking, 【C5】______it also supplies power for【C6】______things as beacon lights for ships and airplanes. It【C7】______telephone lines, portable radios, electric clocks, hearing aids, and even communication satellites. Some homes and office buildings in U. S. A. are now being【C8】______with solar energy. The three most【C9】______types of solar equipment so far are the furnace, the still(蒸馏器)and the cell. Solar furnaces heat water or air,【C10】______is then circulated through a building to make it comfortable. Solar stills are【C11】______important because they can provide【C12】______water at a relative cheap rate. Salt can easily be【C13】______from sea water with solar still. The most highly developed type of solar【C14】______equipment is the solar cell. Some cells are so【C15】______that they can turn 16% of the energy they receive from the sun【C16】______electric energy. One of the cell's biggest advantages is【C17】______it can be made either small enough to carry【C18】______large enough to produce current that can run an automobile. Besides, it has a very long life. It is still too expensive for the【C19】______consumer but when ways are【C20】______to produce it more cheaply, we can expect its use to be widely-spread.

Although the practice of the old Roman religion disappeared many centuries ago, some tra
ces of the Roman gods are still present in our daily vocabulary. The names of the Roman sun god, Sol, and the moon goddess, Luna, are used frequently in our language The word solar describes anything pertaining to the sun, and lunar anything pertaining to the moon. For example, the sun and the planets circling it are called the solar system. The period of time in which the earth circles the sun once is a solar year. The moon takes one lunar month to circle the earth. A lunar year of twelve lunar months is eleven days shorter than a solar year. In some cases our language shows how these heavenly bodies affect us directly. A room or place for sunbathing is often called a solarium. We get our word parasol from the Italian word meaning " a guard against the sun." For many centuries it was believed that the moon affected people who were mentally ill. For this reason persons who were mentally ill were often referred to as lunatics.

1).The word lunatic originally meant___.

A、twelve lunar months

B、the home of the moon goddess

C、a person on whom the moon had a bad effect

D、a guard against the moon

2).Implied but not stated______.

A、A solar year lasts about 354 days

B、Sol was the Roman sun god

C、Our calendar is based on the movements of the moon

D、Mental illness really has nothing to do with the moon

3).In comparison with the solar year, the lunar year is__.

A、twice as long

B、the same length

C、shorter

D、a few days longer

Millions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day. It is
often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries.

Solar ovens consist of a system of reflectors and a cooking pot. The rest is up to your imagination! Once you have collected or bought your solar oven, you can use it to prepare hot meals in the backyard, at a campground or wherever your heart desires.

Of all the inventions that could benefit humankind, a reliable solar cooker remains one of the most necessary. Countless people across the developing world still cook their food by burning wood or even cow dung, causing breathing problems and severe pollution in some regions.

The searching for a practical solar cooker has gone on for decades and produced dozens of models. But none of them have caught on importantly for use in the developing world because they can’t store heat. Without the ability to store heat, a cooker cannot be used, for example, on cloudy days.

But now a group based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is reporting a discovery in solar cookers. They say it will lead to the production of practical solar cookers within a year and a half and it can store enough heat during a sunny day to work for an entire additional day, even if it is cloudy.

1.People who do not have wood must spend small amounts of money on cooking fuel.()

2.There is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.()

3.Solar cookers, or ovens, have not been used for centuries.()

4.Solar ovens consist of a system of reflectors and a cooking pot.()

5.Without the ability to store heat, a cooker can be used, for example, on cloudy days.()
