Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .‎ Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. ‎ Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms" impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.‎ We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.‎ The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.‎ A．energy policy catches much attention of the public B．the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms C．many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies D．the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents ‎30. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.‎ A．is more rapid than that of carbon-based power B．guarantees an increase in energy output C．is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power D．agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation ‎31. It can be inferred from the passage that____.‎ A．an official report will settle the energy problem B．the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms C．the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation D．political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts D ‎ Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow- covered areas than sitting on the beach,according to a report by the UK newspaper.‎ The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University,Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together.They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District,northern Japan.They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa District.‎ The found that on the beach,eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules（千焦耳）of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.‎ The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological（气象的）Agency.According to the agency,the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent,compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas.The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.‎ Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin.That’s why er wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun.But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.‎ If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time,you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye,which is harmful.Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling.They may be sensitive to light.Fortunately,this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.‎ Long-term exposure to UV radiation,however,can be more serious.Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damages, which could lead to total blindness.‎ ‎32. You would most likely find the article in .‎ A. a doctor’s diary B. a travel journal C. a medical magazine D. a physics textbook ‎33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.‎ B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm them at all.‎ C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.‎ D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan,the USA and the UK.‎ ‎34. Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because .‎ A. Snow produces more UV light than water.‎ B. People don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach.‎ C. The reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher that that on the beach.‎ D. Human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow-covered areas than on the beach.‎ ‎35. What will the passage most probably talk about next?‎ A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.‎ B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.‎ C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.‎ D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.‎ 第二部分 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is ly terrifying.   36  However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.‎ Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.‎ Undo your seatbelt.   37  Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.‎ ‎  38  Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.‎ Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.  39   ‎ Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.   40  While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.‎ A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.‎ B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.‎ C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.‎ D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.‎ E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.‎ F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.‎ G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.‎ 三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共45分）‎ ‎【一】完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Many times we do something positive or say something kind, but we don’t see the influence it has on other people.
