Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan) in 2011, the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided—some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.

After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. __1.__ In fact, almost 80% of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”

Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. _2._ So, pro?nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington) supports this view.

Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they're expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. __3._ So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills.

__4._ For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high?profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands of people.

The nuclear energy issue is very complex. _5._ As a Japanese commentator recently said, “It's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don't think they're down and out yet.” The battle continues.

A.And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon.

B.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe.

C.Nuclear power could only end the world instead of saving it!

D.Many people believe that they will benefit from the unclear energy.

E.Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases.

F.But France and the United States remain loyal supporters of atomic energy.

G.This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer.

1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______

 

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids(金字塔). They have stood for nearly 5, 000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered(散布)along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.

  Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

  The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun sets. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack(破裂)under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.

1.According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid    .

A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future

B. was built on the sand along the Nile

C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids

D. is the most famous of the true pyramids

2. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that    .

A. people have taken good care of them

B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt

C. they were well designed

D. the government has protected them from damage

3.Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by   .

A. the regular floods

B. the dry climate of Egypt

C. people searching for gold

D. people in search of building materials

4.The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because    .

A. they believed in their god

B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile

C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials

D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids

 

“Just ate chicken feet for lunch. ”These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday. By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends. They included “OH MY GOD! That is so disgusting(令人厌恶的)! ”, “What were they like? ” and “Why can’t you eat sandwiches like everyone else? ”

To Chinese people, chicken feet are a normal snack. To my friends in Britain, the thought of eating a chicken’s feet is weird(不可思议的). As weird, in fact, as eating a bullfrog(牛蛙), scorpion(蝎子), snake, or turtle.

But if there are two things I love more than anything else in life, they are trying new things and food.

I arrived in Beijing five months ago. Since then, I’ve searched for the “weirdest” foods so I can try them, then treat my friends to some “virtual eating”on my blog.

One weekend, I went to Wangfujing, Beijing’s “snack street”. The trip gave me tons of blog materials.

“I chose a stick with three live, wriggling scorpions on it, ”I wrote. “And it was pretty good. The scorpion was warm and crispy. The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one’s teeth, however. What’s more, I am sure scorpion stung(蜇伤)me twice with its tail in revenge. ”

Next came snake: “A bit like a cross between fish and chicken, with a slightly rubbery texture(弹性口感)and meaty taste. ”

Some people were actually angry when I ate turtle soup—especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy’s head staring sadly up at us from the bowl. “I am never speaking to you again, ”wrote one former friend.

Still, I will continue my culinary quest(美食征程).

Next on my list is starfish, though I feel I should have some vegetables too—algae, maybe.

So what am I eating, tonight, you may ask. Pizza. Well, a girl’s gotta have a break sometimes.
