Solar energy is a new kind of source of energy which is widely used and

produces little pollution. The most widely used one is the flat-plate

collector. It consists of a black metal plate, covered with one or two

sheets of glass. The collectors are heated by the sunlight falling on it.

This heat is then transferred to the air or the water. It can be used

directly, or it may be turned into another medium for storage. Flat-plate

collectors are commonly used for solar water heaters and house heating.

The storage of heat for use at night or on cloudy days is commonly

completed by using insulated tanks (隔热储罐) to store the water heated

during sunny periods. Such a system can supply a house with hot water

drawn from the storage tank, or, with the warmed water flowing through

tubes (管) in floors and ceilings, it can provide space heating. Flat-plate

collectors are typically heated to temperatures from 66℃ to 93℃. The

efficiency (效率) of such collectors can range from 20 to 80 percent,

depending on the design of the collector.

Another one is solar ponds which are bodies of salt water designed to

collect and store solar energy. The heat taken from such ponds can be

used for chemicals, food and textiles (纺织品). It can also be used to

warm greenhouses, swimming pools and buildings. Solar ponds are

sometimes used to produce electricity. Yet solar ponds are expensive to

install and keep. So they are not often used to warm in rural areas.

31．Which of the following is needed in a flat-plate collector

A．A white plastic plate. B．A black metal plate.

C．A white metal plate. D．A black plastic plate.

32．When do the flat-plate collectors store heat

A．At night. B．On cloudy days.

C．On rainy days. D．During sunny periods.

33．What does the underlined word “range” in Paragraph 1 mean

A．Store. B．Collect. C．Change. D．Develop.

34．Why are solar ponds not often used to warm in rural areas

A．Because they can’t be installed in those areas.

B．Because the cost of using solar ponds is high.

C．Because they can not heat the buildings there.

D．Because there are no swimming pools there.

35．What’s the best title for this passage

A．Application of Solar Energy B．Storage of Solar Energy

C．Advantages of Solar Energy D．The Work System of Solar Energy

Messi is a professional soccer player from Argentina, and is widely

considered to be one of the greatest soccer players of all time. He is the

smallest boy with the biggest dream. When he was young, he wanted to

play for his country and bring her a World Cup championship. As

everyone knows, to make a dream come true is not easy. At the age of 27,

Messi proudly played for his home country at the 2014 World Cup in

Brazil. He continued to amaze the sports world with his excellent

footwork, creative assists, and eye-opening goals. However, he was

unable to pull Argentina through the final, losing 1-0 to Germany. Even

though he earned a Golden Ball, the highest FIFA award for the best

player, he was completely disappointed when he looked at the cup. How

he wished he could bring it back to Argentina, as Maradona did in 1986.

Yet, this failure didn’t stop him from fighting to reach his dream. He

pushed himself harder and made his teamwork better. In the 2022 World

Cup in Qatar, Messi scored two goals and led Argentina to defeat France

in an exciting final on December 18th, taking home the golden trophy

(奖杯) and helping his team get the long-awaited World Cup

championship. He made the biggest dream come true at last.
