Sheridan is a town in Indiana, USA. There are...

Sheridan is a town in Indiana, USA. There are lots of trees near the public schools in the town. Their leaves turn sunlight into energy (能量).

In Sheridan, the sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels (太阳能电池板) to turn sunlight into energy.

The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (学区) in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.

In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by the Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a program director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.

Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (来源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it won't run out. Solar panels don't harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs.

Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy.“The sun is Earth's energy source,” she says. “We’re trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.”

But using solar energy isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.

1.What does the underlined word“It”refer to?

A. A plant. B. The sun.

2.Sheridan Community Schools put in solar panels ________.

A. in 2008 B. for all its schools

C. with the help of the Solar Foundation D. together with other 1,000 schools in the USA

3.According to Roxie Brown, the number of schools with solar panels ________.

A. has risen B. has fallen C. is too small D. is large enough

4.What does the underlined word “renewable” mean in Chinese?

A. 可开发的 B. 可替代的 C. 可再生的 D. 可加工的

There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India, but the tree-bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬) you only if they are disturbed (打扰), tree-bees will attack you in thousands for no reason. And they will chase (追赶) you for your life.

Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year. I found myself, without the least warning, the centre of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Though it was hot, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called “The Angry Swarm”, which was about killer-bees.

I began running to the village about half a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. I drove them away with my hands, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my mouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe.

When I reached the village, I found some workers building a house. I ran towards them for help. But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed.

Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of brick dust. I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered. And then I tried hard to get out of the dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me. I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles. Soon I lost my consciousness (意识).

Later I learned that two quick-minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.

1. What can we infer (推断) from the second paragraph?

A. The temperature went down at that time.

B. The air suddenly became thick because of the dust.

C. The writer knew Indian tree-bees were the most dangerous.

D. The writer felt scared when he was surrounded by tree-bees.

2.In which order did the following things happen to the writer?

a. He tried to drive away the bees but failed.

b. He was surrounded with a thick wall of fire and smoke.

c. He was tired out and lost consciousness later.

d. He watched a film named “The Angry Swarm”.

e. He was attacked by tree-bees while taking a walk.

A. e-a-c-b-d　　 B. d-e-a-c-b　　 C. e-b-a-d-c　　 D. d-e-a-b-c

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Tree-bees often attack people in large numbers.

B. Tree-bees can be driven away by fire and smoke.

C. Tree-bees do not give up easily when they attack people.

D. Tree-bees will not attack people unless they are disturbed.
