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。四、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共10分)24. （5分）任务型阅读Recently，a very simple question became widely spread online: What China should be proud of？_Lanlan, whose real name is Negar Kordi, is from Canada.She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo UniversityNow she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing.Lanlan loves China._“It is the easiest country in which to find a jobIf you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China.
