（A）
After a 13-year ban on the sale of fireworks in Beijing, Kang Guoliang, 51, was able to start his old trade again yesterday.
As a salesman in Xinhui store in Dongcheng District, he is happy about the increasing number of buying fireworks wrapped in red paper - a color standing for happiness and good luck.
“Fireworks are available for the first time in town for more than a decade,” Kang said happily. “People will buy them.”
The store has 300 boxes of fireworks piled up and is open 24 hours at the moment. Residents are buying the fireworks and firecrackers for the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on February 18.
Citywide, 2,116 registered stores and retailers, 585 in the centre and 1,600 on the outskirts are trading fireworks in the Chinese capital. Sales of fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road started yesterday and will last until March 4, Xinhua reported. Among the stores, 117 stores are permitted to operate 24 hours. About 600,000 boxes of firecrackers worth more than 100 million yuan have been carried to registered stores.
The Chinese capital began a ban in 1993 to reduce fireworks-related deaths and fires during the holiday season. Last September the ban was removed in response to residents’ fondness for fireworks when celebrating Spring Festival.
According to new rules, Beijing residents are allowed to set off fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road all day on Lunar New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s day, from 7 a.m. to midnight every day from February 19 to March 4.
“Spring Festival without fireworks is not Spring Festival,” said Sheng Hefei, who was buying fireworks in the store. “It was fun to light the firecrackers when I was little,” he said. “The sound and view of fireworks make a real holiday.” However, not all residents welcome the return of firecrackers because of injuries, pollution and noise. “My child is scared of the sudden sound of firecrackers, and it is annoying to hear it all night long,” complained Lu Jun, a local resident.
(China Daily 02/11/2007)

People will soon cool their homes with power from the burning desert sun. Deserts are becoming hot spots for solar thermal (热的) power in which futuristic troughs (低谷期) pay more attention to the sun's rays and create steam to run power-producing turbines (涡轮机) at power plants.
Tiny experimental plants built in the 1980s in California ran into problems when energy prices dropped. But as oil, natural gas and electricity costs soar, companies are racing to build commercial solar thermal plants that are the size of power plants.
Limits on emissions (释放) of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels have also promoted the new technology. Utah-based International Automated Systems Inc. signed an agreement to build a $150 million, 100-megawatt power plant for Solar Renewable Energy in Nevada. And North Carolina-based Solargenix will break ground on a 64 MW, $100 million solar thermal plant called Nevada Solar One.
Currently, all the types of solar energy provide only about 1 percent of U. S. power. One problem is price. Solar thermal at present costs about 12 to 15 cents per kilowatt hour, Westerholt said, compared with natural gas power which costs 10 cents per KWH. But as production grows, solar companies expect costs to slip to 8 cents per KHW in five years.
Solar thermal is expensive compared with wind energy and fuels. But it does have advantages. Power from the desert sun is more reliable than wind power during the day. And unlike fuels, it has no greenhouse gases.
And solar thermal is growing globally. A white paper says that by 2040 solar power could satisfy more than 5 percent of the world's electricity demand. The best places for it are Australia, the United States, Spain, the Middle East and North Africa, which could export power from the sun to Europe on high-tech power lines.
40. How many factors does the passage mention which affect the development of solar thermal power?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
41. The underlined word “soar” ( in Paragraph 2 ) means ________.
A. dropped B. disappeared
C. limited D. increased
42. The passage mentioned Solargenix in order to show that _________.
A. limits on greenhouse gases can encourage new technologies
B. it will need lots of money to build Solargenix
C. Solargenix was a newly-built plant
D. the solar thermal power has its own promising future
43. According to the passage, which of the following energy supplies is more reliable and renewable during the day?
A. Wind. B. Oil.
C. The sun. D. Coal.
44. Which of the following will be the best title for the passage?
A. The Solar Thermal Power Age Is Coming.
B. More Measures Should Be Made for Solar Development.
C. Advantages for the Solar Thermal Power.
D. Solar Thermal Is Growing Globally.

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.
The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.
Experiments lead the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.
40. To prevent snow blindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not _________.
A. depends on whether the snow is white enough
B. makes no difference
C. makes much difference
D. depends on whether the snow is thick
41. When the eyes are tired, tears flow out __________.
A. to clear the vision
B. to make the eyes stop searching
C. to make the vision unclear
D. to produce more and more liquid
42. Snow blindness can be prevented by ___________
A. moving one’s gaze back and forth
B. walking ahead and keeping looking around
C. making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes
D. providing the eyes with something to focus on
43. What is the probable meaning of the underlined part “Their gaze is arrested.”?
A. They get something to look at.
B. They can only look at one spot.
C. Their eyes are clear.
D. They can’t see freely.

43．C。由文章的第五段可知。
44．A。本文主要是讲了随着油价的上升和对于温室气体的排放的限制，这不断激励着对于太阳能这一新技术的开发。
36．D。计算过程为：(164,500×8)÷ (0093×1,003)≈14.150。
37．A。依据是“This Garden style home is equipped with ...”，葡萄藤爬满房子正面，到了夏天当然看上去是绿油油的。
38．A。A项错在车库里的小房间是已经存在的：B项的依据是该房子的宅基地其实是供两所房子用的（“Lot Size：2”/“double sized lot”），当然扩建空间很足；C项的依据是花园用的是自动喷灌系统；D项的洗碗机和地毯是作为“房屋特色”列入广告中的，自然是属于房屋的一部分。
39．B。结合生活常识应该能够判断“access”的意思是“通道，人口”,“wheelchair access”即是指专供残疾人使用的“无障碍通道”，如医院和公共场所所铺设的无台阶、斜坡型、可供轮椅出入的通道。
40．B。第一段第二句“Yet, with dark glasses or not…”提到戴不戴眼镜都会产生“雪盲”的症状，如头疼，流泪甚至雪盲。
41．C。第二段结尾部分“... makes eyes difficult to see clearly ...”说此时泪水流出来充满眼眶，眼睛看不清，导致雪盲。
42．D。第三段提到的侦察兵的做法告诉我们，雪盲的产生是因为在雪地里眼睛找不到具体目标，由于寻找不到看的物体才产生雪盲。人们就将灌木上的雪去掉，扔一些深色物体，其目的是D项所言内容。
43．A。画线句子后面说“眼睛盯着灌木，找到东西可看”，故选A。arrest意为“逮捕”、“抑制”。
One possible version:
As time goes on, both city people and country people have a lot of free time. They have different ways to spend their weekends.
After a stressful week of hard work, city people would like to go to the country and return to nature. They go fishing or traveling into the country while some go hiking into the country. Some people go to the country by car or by bike while others go on foot. They went to relax themselves, breathe fresh air and do exercise in the open air.
On the other hand, country people will drive into cities for shopping. They will see films or go to concerts on weekends. Country people want to perceive modern city life in this way.
