21、The future of Australia’s solar industry is looking bright after a record 3.5m panels(嵌板)were installed on rooftops last year, giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-fired power station. The record 1,057 MW of capacity (产能) in small scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2012, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.

Australia’s solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year, The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solar choice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2012.

The regulator’s executive general manager, Mark Williamson, said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to take control of electricity bills. But more importantly, he said it was also good news for reducing carbon emissions,

“We are seeing a wide cross section of Australians—households, community centers, schools, and small businesses—receiving rewards under the small scale renewable energy scheme,” Williamson said, “Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity bills. ”

In 2017, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2016. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57 %. “I he data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2017 reflects the industry is going from strength to strength, It looks like 2018 will be another big year for the solar industry.”

The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected. A large coal-fired power station such as Loyd Yang A in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley has a capacity of 2, 200MW.

22、It was a warm spring evening. As I often do after a long day, I went straight to my backyard and did some work in my flower garden. I had only just walked a few steps on the patio (露台) when I suddenly felt a horrifying blow to the right side of my neck. Totally confused, I reached up and, to my shock and horror, realized that I had been shot — with an arrow.

I grabbed the arrow with a death grip where it had pierced my neck and ran inside, screaming my husband’s name. Ed ran to me and called an ambulance. I lay on the couch and prayed. I didn’t know if there was any way I could survive.

The arrow had come from a young man practising with a hunting bow in his backyard. Luckily, he was using a practice arrow. An arrow for hunting would have killed me.

At the hospital, I tried hard to reassure my family and friends. I kept telling them I was fine, but the looks on their faces told me that they weren’t buying it. After a CT scan, the doctors and nurses began telling me how lucky I was. The arrow had gone between the carotid artery and the jugular vein. There was no bleeding at all. Although I didn’t realize how incredible this was, I began arguing with them that I wasn’t “lucky“, I was “blessed”. Someone told my son there was a post on the site texasbowhunter.com asking for prayers for me. It turns out a friend had posted the prayer request on that website.

The morning after my two-hour surgery to remove the arrow, the surgeon came in my room. He revealed that I had a brain tumour and the surgery had to be done. I remember going a bit numb but thinking, God works in mysterious ways. The brain surgery was successful and in less than a week I was back home.

Nothing eventful happened for a couple of years. After an MRI in 2015, I was told that there was still no sign of a tumour growing back. Had it not been for that arrow, I would have died from a brain tumour. And honestly, the arrow should have killed me. But it didn’t.

Coincidences? Luck? I think not. The gentleman who wrote the last comment on the prayer-request thread on texasbowhunter.com summed it up in just two words. He simply wrote, “Amazing grace”.

【1】How did the author’ family feel when she told them she was fine at the hospital?

A．Doubtful

B．Concerned

C．Convinced

D．Reassured

【2】What did the author think of all that happened to her?

A．It is a blessing in disguise.

B．No pleasure without pain.

C．One good turn deserves another.

D．What goes around comes around.

【3】Why did the gentleman write “amazing grace”?

A．To appeal for attention.

B．To describe his reaction.

C．To call for others’ support.

D．To comment on the whole issue.

【4】Which section of a magazine does the passage come from?

A．Health

B．Entertainment

C．Nature

D．Story

23、Our clothes do a lot for us. They keep us warm in the winter or cool while we’re working out. They let us dress to impress or comfortably veg out on the couch with the TV on. But some researchers think our clothes could be doing even more. Those scientists and engineers are dreaming up new ways to make clothes safer, more comfortable or just more convenient.

Some ideas for new clothes aim to protect people from harm. One new shoe design, for example, features pop-out spikes (鞋钉) on the sole that grip the ground. This could help people keep their footing on slippery or uneven ground. A new fabric coating, meanwhile, could absorb and neutralize (中和) some chemical weapons. That coating is made from a metal-organic framework that breaks down harmful compounds. It could offer protection to people in war-torn countries.

Not all advanced clothing is designed to save lives. Some could just make clothes more comfortable. One day, for instance, you may not need to layer up to stay warm. Fabric filled with nanowires could reflect your body heat back onto your skin. Electric current humming through those metal threads could provide warmth, too. This maybe especially useful for hikers, soldiers or others working in super cold conditions.

Some researchers have dream up wholly new uses for clothing —like turning wearers into walking power outlets. Flexible solar panels sewn into fabric could absorb the sun to recharge phones or other devices on the go. Another team threaded fabric with magnetized (磁化的) copper and silver to write data into fabrics. Such data-packed fabric could be used as a hands-free key or form of ID.

Many of these ideas have not yet left the lab—and they’re still pretty far from hitting retail (零售) shelves. But inventors hope these and other innovations could someday let you get more from your clothes.

【1】What do the underlined words “veg out” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Relax.

B．Stand out.

C．Work.

D．Dream about.

【2】Why do the new shoes feature pop-out spikes on the sole?

A．To make them comfortable.

B．To make them fashionable.

C．To prevent people from slipping.

D．To turn wearers into walking power outlets.

【3】What kind of clothes are suitable for hikers?

A．Coats filled with nanowires.

B．Shoes with pop-out spikes on the sole.

C．Clothes with a new fabric coating.

D．Clothes made of data-packed fabric.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Many of these ideas are not realistic.

B．Many smart clothes are too expensive to afford.

C．People will benefit more from their clothes in future.

D．Many comfortable clothes will come to the market soon.

24、The Stress of a Move

Research has shown that a move is more stressful than divorce. Personally, as someone who has moved 17 times in 15 years, I agree with this 100 percent.

【1】 The fact of the matter is, there’s no one cause of stress when it comes to a big move. Instead, it’s a bunch of smaller things that add up to make a move one of the more stressful things that many of us will ever do.

Changes

Every move carries some big changes along with it. You’re changing your location, the layout of your home, maybe even your friends and your job. 【2】 It’s okay to feel a little anxious at the thought of a big change, even if you know it’s for the best.

Money

Of course, one of the biggest pain points for anyone making a major move is money. 【3】 Even if you’re a fan of minimalist living and you can fit all of your possessions into the back of your car, there are still costs associated with moving into a new house or apartment.

Time

【4】 Whether you’re moving out of state, to the other side of the world, or just down the block, it takes time to get yourself and your possessions settled into your new place. 【5】 When you’re moving, you can expect to be driving a truck, carrying heavy loads, or unpacking your things. Having to put your life on hold while you get your move sorted out can be stressful, especially in light of the major changes that you’re making.

A．A move takes so much time!

B．What makes a move so stressful?

C．This isn’t a restful time, though.

D．If you’re moving because of a break-up, the stress can become unbearable.

E．Studies have reported that a move is one of the most stressful life events.

F．Most of the time, moving your things is not something that you can do alone.

G．These changes are unavoidable, and even good changes can be a little scary.
