The global energy crisis is approaching.What can we do?Here are some steps you can take.

Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid（電網(wǎng)）.Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage,a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.Clean or replace filters monthly or as needed.

For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners,look for the ENERGY STAR,the federal government’s symbol for energy efficiency.For central air,purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio(SEER).

Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air.When used with air conditioning,fans allow you to raise the thermostat（恒溫器） and cut costs.Ceiling fans cool people,not rooms,so before you leave,turn off the ceiling fan.

Let a programmable thermostat“remember for you”to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent.You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.

Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort,make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.

Cut your air conditioning load,and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.

Close blinds or shades on south- and west- facing windows during the day,fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up.

Turn off everything not in use:lights,TVs,computers.And use fluorescent bulbs（熒光燈），which provide bright,warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy,producing 70 percent less heat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs（白熾燈）.

Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle.If you drive 12,500 miles a year,switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.

Carpool.The average U.S.commuter（乘車上班族）could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg—assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.

68.According to the passage,the thermostat is used to        .

A.make rooms quieter                                   B.control room temperature

C.turn off the air conditioner                   D.reduce room air pollution

69.We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages        .

A.planting leafy trees around your home

B.turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house

C.keeping your south-facing windows open during the day

D.using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs

70.According to the passage,you can save fuel by        .

A.using energy-efficient ceiling fans

B.sharing cars with others on workdays

C.turning off everything not in use

D.reducing 10% of your car trips every year

71.This passage is mainly about        .

A.energy-saving tips                                  B.fuel-saving tips

C.do it yourself tips                                D.environment-protecting tips

A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen,commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer,actually increases the risk.

Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma（黑素瘤）.They said that  they  found flaws in studies that had reported associ-

ations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.

Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun,sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer,which is increasing in incidence（發(fā)生率）faster than any other cancer in the United States.

But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect,perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.

The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin and freckles（雀斑），for example—are more likely to use sunscreen.As a result,it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.

The studies,which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied,said the new study.

72.The underlined word“flaws”in the 2nd paragraph most probably means        .

A.evidences                    B.facts                         C.faults                     D.failures

73.People with fair skin and freckles        .

A.seldom use sunscreen                                   B.are more in danger of skin cancer

C.can be free from the harm of the sun          D.often expose themselves to the sun

74.We can learn from the passage that        .

A.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often

B.the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen

C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers

D.the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America

75.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer                 B.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer

C.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen                 D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles

After the Summer Olympics are over,when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off,another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city,and another competition will begin.These are the Paralympics,the games for athletes with a disability.But in Beijing in 2008,for the first time,one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson.Born with spina bifida（脊椎裂）which left her paralysed from the waist down,Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7.At first,she was not keen on sport,apart from horse riding,which gave her a sense of freedom.But in her teens,she started taking sports more seriously.She tried swimming,basketball and tennis.Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.

In 1988,Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul.She won bronze in the 400 metres.Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics.Tanni won gold in the 100,200,400 and 800 metres relay,setting two world records in the process.In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.

Tanni’s enduring success has been part motivation(動機(jī)），part preparation.“The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑運(yùn)動員）,enables me to be good at a marathon too.I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I went to race...I am still competing at a very high level,but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”

Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007.Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

In spite of ups and downs,she never takes her fate lying down.In her splendid life,she has won an amazing eleven gold medals,four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics—a top level athletic career covering two decades.She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times,more than any other competitor,and she has set over thirty world records.

What advice does she have for young athletes?“Work hard at your studies,and then train,train and train again.”
