They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches” which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel*. These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. “It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings. “This design makes the solar panels exposed more towards the sun,” he says. “And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent more energy.”India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The countrys promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying solar trees in India.Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says gaining access to land takes time and increases costs. He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale will we be able to get that answer,” he says.（1）We may probably read this passage in _.A . Culture ViewsB . Nature and ScienceC . Story BooksD . Travelling Guide Book（2）Compared the traditional system, the main advantages of the solar tree is _. A . we can see many “branches” in new solar treeB . it surely produces more energy than traditional systemC . its reducing Indias more greenhouse gas production nowD . fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones（3）What does the underlined word this in the fourth paragraph refer to (指代)？ A . greenhouse gas productionB . the solar panelsC . the falling cost of solar panelsD . countrys promise（4）In the last paragraph, what do you think of what Amit Kumar said?A . Solar trees have been used on a large scale to produce electricity。B . They wont increase land to plant solar trees。C . The new solar trees havent been used on a large scale to produce electricity。D . The new solar power technology wont be useful。4. （10分）根据短文理解，完成下列各题。DLife is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell. This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this, youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer.

Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live a simpler live.One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things（1）The writer uses the quote(引用) at the beginning of the story to _.A . tell us a truth about our live.B . tell us what life was like long time ago.C . point out what causes such a thing to happen.D . point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same.（2）In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions _.A . have speeded up our livesB . have improve the quality of our livesC . may make people feel very happyD . may bring people some trouble（3）The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _.A . they loved to live simple livesB . they wanted to know how people lived with our modern inventionsC . they were troubled by modern inventionsD . living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them（4）According to the passage, which is NOT right?A . People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.B . An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.C . The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.D . With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.（5）The passage is mainly about _.A . problems with technologyB . improvements of our lives with technologyC . changes happening to technology D . the importance of technology.5. （7分）阅读理解DStuffy Pete sat down on a bench in the New York City Park.
