Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension（30 marks）
Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
A year ago in August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$ 7,000，a legacy（遗产）from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on（宠爱）comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community（社区）and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.
56．According to the text，the Fusses ______.
A．were employed by a truck company B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria D．lost their home
57．Which of the following is TRUE of the Hatches?
A．They had their children during the Great Depression.
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
58．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
A．They decided to open a store. B．They wanted to save money.
C．They couldn't afford expensive things. D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
59．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were______.
A．understanding B．optimistic C．childlike D．curious
60．What can we learn from the text?
A．The community of Alto was poor.
B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.

Since 1980，the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly.In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide，most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity.Most were in Denmark（which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines）and California（where 17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the state's electricity，enough to meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco）.In principle，all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota，South Dakota，and Texas.
Large wind farms can be built in six months to a year and then easily expanded as needed.With a moderate to fairly high net energy yield，these systems emit no heattrapping carbon dioxide or other air pollutants and need no water for cooling；manufacturing them produces little water pollution.The land under wind turbines can be used for grazing cattle and other purposes，and leasing land for wind turbines can provide extra income for farmers and ranchers.
Wind power has a significant cost advantage over nuclear power and has become competitive with coalfired power plants in many places.With new technological advances and mass production，projected cost declines should make wind power one of the world's cheapest ways to produce electricity.In the long run，electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity.The hydrogen gas could then be fed into a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed.
Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds.In areas where the wind dies down，backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary.Backup power could also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell，with conventional or pumpedstorage hydropower，or with efficient naturalgasburning turbines.Some_drawbacks_to_wind_farms_include_visual_pollution_and_noise，although_these_can_be_overcome_by_improving_their_design_and_locating_them_in_isolated_areas.
61．Which of the following best explains “wind farms” in this passage?
A．Farms using windmills to pump water.
B．Research centers exploring the uses of wind.
C．Types of power plant common in North Dakota.
D．Collections of wind turbines producing electric power.
62．What can be inferred about the states of North Dakota，South Dakota，and Texas mentioned at the end of Paragraph 1?
A．They rely largely on coalfired power plants.
B．They contain remote areas where the winds rarely die down.
C．Over 1 percent of the electricity in these states is produced by wind farms.
D．Wind farms in these states are being expanded to meet the power needs of the United States.
63．What happens in these periods when the demand for electricity is relatively low?
A．These periods provide the opportunity to produce and store energy for future use.
B．These periods are times when wind turbines are powered by hydrogen gas.
C．These periods create storage problems for all forms of power generation.
D．These periods occur as often as periods when the demand for electricity is high.
64．In Paragraph 4，the author states that in areas where winds are not steady______.
A．power does not reach all customers B．wind farms cannot be used
C．solar power is more appropriate D．bac
