【题目】Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay in Queensland to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm gravel(沙石)surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mudHowever, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their Hyundai Getz(现代汽车)was up to its axles tires in mudTo make matters worse, the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicleJust four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water —— to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.

Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down thereIt kept saying it would navigate us to a roadBut we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.” She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped carNo such luck for the hired car though – after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover itThe students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit“We want to come back to Australia againEveryone is very nice, even today.” Ms Yuzu said.

Remaining excited, Mr. Tomonari joked that the car may have got stuck because it was built in Korea“Maybe if it was Japanese it would be okay,” he saidHe added, “It has rained every day on our six day holidayHopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.” The car was covered by insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.

【题目】Most respected scientists agree that we need to find another source of energy- and quickly. If we continue to burn oil and pump carbon into the atmosphere, then the effects on global climate will lead to global disasters even before the oil disappear.

The British government has set a target of a 20 percent reduction in carbon emission by 2010. Central to this policy is the search for alternative, renewable forms of energy production---and this is where the serious disagreement among scientists begins.

Here, two people active in the debate about wind farms give their points of view.

Simon Shearman

“First, a few facts about wind power. Wind is one of the cheapest of the new, renewable forms of energy. It is extremely safe---no member of the public has ever been injured at a wind farm. The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe---ideal locations for wind farms and, by 2010, up to ten percent of the electricity used in the UK could be produced by wind power. I find it annoying and frustrating that the biggest objection that opponents of wind farms can come up with is that the crisis of global warming is real and something must be done urgently.”

Alice Evans

“The simple, obvious fact is that wind turbines(涡轮机) cannot generate electricity if the wind is too light or too strong and it often is. Many scientists estimate that wind turbines generally produce only 30 percent of their capacity(容量). This is not a reliable enough supply to enable us to close down conventional power stations. In fact, wind power can’t keep up with the growth of the demand for electricity, let alone replace other sources of power.”

It’s a topic that is causing heated debate around the country---but one we must address before it’s too late---before the oil runs out.

【1】Many scientists have different opinions on the search for a renewable energy because ______.

A. they think fossil fuels are everlasting.

B. British government’s target is not realistic.

C. they are not sure in finding the clean and renewable energy.

D. the technology is not advanced enough.

【2】We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. there won’t be a global disaster before the world runs out of oil.

B. the British government wants people to use 20 percent less oil by 2010.

C. Alice Evans supports the idea of wind power.

D. Simon Shearman thinks Britain a particularly suitable place for wind farms.

【3】If we generate electricity with wind turbines, _______.

A. a light wind will do.

B. we cannot make full use of the capacity.

C. a strong wind will do

D. we’ll have enough electricity.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Wind power is a good solution to energy crisis.

B. We’re experiencing the oil crisis now.

C. We should find alternative energy for oil as soon as possible.

D. There is no need for us to worry about energy problem.
