The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie (圣母玛丽亚) for 36 , but she was far 37 the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning, the water was getting 38 , and a strong 39 had begun to blow. Suddenly 40 were seen in the distance; another ship! The shouts of the swimmers were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 41 of the ship that had so 42 arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the 43 and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 44 about the wreck (沉船) and had indeed attempted to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.
“I was forced by the wind,” he said long afterwards, “to 45 my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small 46 flew across the ship once or twice and then 47 at my face. I took 48 of this until exactly the same thing happened at a 49 time, which caused me to think it rather 50 , while I was thus 51 it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew 52 in the same way as before.

In 2007, the first solar electric boat crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Now a Swiss group wants to cover that distance and keep going, circling the globe on nothing but the sun’s power for the first time.
The team of engineers and scientists has started the building of its 98-foot long boat, named Planet Solar, in Kiel Germany. The boat’s power will come from the 5,000 square feet of solar panels（电池板）, about the size of two tennis courts, covering its broad deck. When the sun is shining bright above, they will turn 23 percent of the sun’s rays to energy — six percent more than average solar panels.
Even though batteries aboard Planet Solar can store enough energy to power it through up to three days of cloudy weather, the sailors will try to avoid clouds: constant communication with the French meteorological institute, Meteo France, will help the sailors stay with the sunny course.
The $11.5 million project, which is led by Raphael Domjan, should be ready for its first voyage next summer. The solar electric boat will warm up in European waters, and attempt to deal with traveling around the globe in spring 2011. At a maximum speed of 16 mph, Planet Solar will be the fastest solar electric boat. The team expects to finish the first leg of its journey across the Atlantic in about two weeks, compared to the six months the solar boat took back in 2007.
If sailing by sun becomes practical, it would be a return to the green boating methods of the days of Christopher Columbus. Those long-ago voyages relied only on a different type of renewable energy: wind. And, if wind-powered sails could be combined with solar panels, we might really pick up the boating speed.
57. Which of the following is NOT true about Planet Solar?
A. Its deck is covered by solar panels.
B. It will be the fastest solar electric boat.
C. It is 98-foot long and is to be made in Germany.
D. It can turn 17 percent of the sun’s rays into energy.
58. Planet Solar will be likely to __________ in continuous rainy weather.
A. continue traveling forward
B. ask the local weather station for help
C. stop to wait for the weather to clear up
D. turn to Meteo France for help to choose the sunny course
59. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Sailing by solar energy has not been widely used in today’s green boating.
B. Planet Solar will be the first boat to circle the globe using solar energy in 2011.
C. The solar panels in Planet Solar can turn more sunlight to energy than average ones.
D. Batteries aboard Planet Solar can be consumed for at most three days of cloudy weather.
60. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Planet Solar uses solar energy all over the world.
B. Planet Solar aims to be the first to circle the globe.
C. Planet Solar collects a different kind of renewable energy.
D. Planet Solar combines traditional methods with modern technology.

A recent study suggests that teens’ relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don’t get a good night’s sleep.
David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. He found that family dynamics (动态) have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens’ sleep.
And problems at school also affected teens’ sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good night’s sleep.
These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If we’re happy and contented, we’re much more likely to sleep better than if we’re sad and anxious.
Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. It’s a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.
Clearly, teenagers aren’t getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Teens’ sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.
B. Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences.
C. Modern technology has something to do with teens’ sleep problems.
D. It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.
2.According to Maume’s analysis, who will probably have a poor night’s sleep?
A. Teens who feel like talking with their parents.
B. Teens who have friends sharing their dreams.
C. Teens who feel contented about themselves.
D. Teens who lack a sense of security at school.
3. Para 5 functions as .
A. a comparison B. an introduction C. a conclusion D. an addition
4. Parents are supposed to when their kids are growing up.
A. continue their broken marriage
B. allow children to decide when to sleep
C. limit teens’ using new technology
D. force teens to have 10 hours’ sleep daily
