21、One of the big knocks against solar panels (太阳能电板) is how much land they take up compared to how much power they produce. But what if there were a ready-made source of open land nearby to cities and towns that were guaranteed not to be used for anything else?
As it turns out, landfills (垃圾填埋场) are built into solar farms all over the country. While they present a bigger challenge than building one on flat ground, the idea of turning landfills and brownfields from their waste state into a new service for the community is deeply appealing.
For example, Nexamp’s Solar Star Urbana Landfill community solar farm occupies nearly 40 acres on a landfill. It features nearly 14,000 solar panels and produces 5.2 megawatts of clean energy for low and middle income residents (居民), who receive discounts on their energy bill if they sign up to take on the solar energy. Annapolis Maryland has one too-55,000 panels on an 80-acre landfill, producing power for 2,500 people.
It isn’t the easiest thing to build a solar farm on a landfill. For one thing, the traditional method of securing the panels on concrete struts (支柱) buried in the ground is out of the question, as it would break the cap on the landfill. This also currently puts a landfill solar panel out of the reach of current technologies that allow the movement of the panels to follow along the sun.
However there are also aspects which are easier, for example there are usually communities that live nearby landfills, and the local cheap power access can help save them money. Furthermore, there’s no risk of facing high land prices.
There are more than 10,000 closed or capped landfills around the country, and perhaps as many as 4,000 of them could be turned into solar farms immediately.
【1】How do residents benefit from taking on the solar energy?
A.They pay less for the energy bill.
B.Their land is paid for higher prices.
C.The energy they use is much cleaner.
D.They receive more energy than promised.
【2】What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The disadvantages of a traditional method.
B.The slow progress of current technologies.
C.The potential danger brought by solar energy.
D.The technical challenges of building a solar farm.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards building landfill solar farms?
A.Critical.
B.Ambiguous.
C.Favorable.
D.Objective.
22、From the earliest times,man has been interested in art.People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures.
Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.
The Louvre has not always been a museum.The first building was a fort(炮台).In 1190,it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to keep out his enemies.
Over the years,the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350,the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci's “Mona Lisa” is the best known painting in the museum today.
In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.
【1】Why is it good for great art to be kept in public museums?
A.It helps people remember who the King of France is.
B.It keeps people out of the palaces.
C.It gives everyone a chance to enjoy good art.
D.It helps people to know who is the greatest artist.
【2】From the passage we know that ________.
A.it is not possible for treasures to be stolen
B.old forts always make the best museums
C.great art should be shared with all the people
D.king Francis I of France brought in artists from an old fort
【3】In the third paragraph the word “moat” probably means________.
A.a high tower built in former times where soldiers watched out for enemies
B.a long and deep ditch dug round a castle and was usually filled with water
C.a cart pulled by horses on which soldiers fought
D.a long and high wall around the castle.
23、When I sat down at my kitchen table at the tail end of winter to write my first column under lockdown, I didn't think I would still be there come midsummer. That piece was about the health benefits of contact with nature and how to get them in a locked-down world.
I was reminded of this last week during a bike ride with my wife through the still-quiet streets of central London. We swung through St James’s Park and stopped at the lake to admire the pelicans(鹈鹕). The sun was shining, the water was clear and the big, ungainly birds were splendidly alien. It was a painful reminder of our decision to cancel a planned holiday to Greece, and with it the hope of seeing wild Dalmatian pelicans.
Thankfully, the country I am stuck in is becoming increasingly exotic(异国情调的). The pandemic has done little to slow Britain’s accelerating rewilding movement. In the past few months, we have heard that European bison will soon be coming to Kent, that pine martens are making a comeback in England and that a pair of white storks at the Knepp Estate in West Sussex have successfully raised chicks---the first wild storks to breed in Britain for more than 500 years.
Two major rewilding projects have also been announced during lockdown. Solar power entrepreneur Jeremy Leggett has bought a 500-hectare estate in the Highlands of Scotland to restore nature there, and farmers in East Anglia are planning to turn over 250, 000 hectares of intensively farmed agricultural land that could one day support lynx, beavers and, yes, pelicans.
Rewilding is largely a matter of humans getting out of the way and letting nature take charge. That, of course, has been happening due to the sudden suspension of life as we know it --- a period that group of biologists has proposed calling the anthropause(暂停).
We know that the anthropause has benefited the environment in multiple ways, but its influence on wildlife isn’t yet clear. There have been reports of wild animals venturing into cities: pumas in Santiago, wild boar in Barcelona. But these are small and temporary incursions(进入). What lessons can we learn as we come out of this period and try to build better world?
To answer this question, conservation biologists have set up an international project called the COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative. The scientists plan to analyse animal movement and distribution before, during and after the anthropause to determine exactly how human activity affects them, and then, once life can return to normal, to apply those lessons to the global rewilding movement.
“Nobody is asking for humans to stay in permanent lockdown, but we may discover that relatively minor changes to our lifestyles and transport networks can potentially have significant benefits for both ecosystems and humans,” says Martin Wikelski, one of the project’s leaders.
【1】What inspired the author to write his current column?
A.The quiet streets.
B.The beautiful lake.
C.His wife’s suggestion.
D.His seeing the pelicans.
【2】What do the examples of European bison, pine martens and white storks show?
A.The bad influence of the pandemic.
B.The harmony among exotic animals.
C.The future of the UK’s endangered animals.
D.The results of the rewilding movement.
【3】What is the purpose of the COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative?
A.To call for global efforts to fight COVID-19.
B.To evaluate the influence of the anthropause on wildlife.
C.promote the rewilding concept all around the world.
D.To figure out ways to protect animals during COVID-19.
【4】What is Martin Wikelski’s opinion?
A.Lockdown is beneficial to humans.
B.The anthropause will last for a long time.
C.Human activity has an influence on rewilding.
D.The COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative will be successful.
