If I see one more article about how wonderful alternative energy is compared to oil, I will flip(翻页). Alternative energy sources can be good- very good in fact. And its pretty obvious that were going to need them, and that our dependence on oil is a Bad Thing. But accepting that does not mean accepting that any kind of alternative energy is a good thing. To be a good thing, it has to have three properties: 1) It has to help reduce our dependence on oil, 2) It has to be no worse for the environment, and 3) It has to be economically practical. Many of the things praised meet one or even two of those properties. Solar panels, for example. They can reduce our need for oil, at least in certain regions, and theyre certainly not bad for the environment. But theyre expensive. If you spend the money to make your home solar-powered, you probably wont get back your costs for at least 15 years, which approaches the lifespan of the panels. Certainly we need to clean up our act big time and find workable sources of alternative energy. But we also have to keep in mind that every one of these alternative-energy sources comes at a cost, which is something people seem to forget. They hear the phrase “alternative energy” and automatically assume its got to be good. But green isnt always good, and oil isnt always bad. One seemingly “green” technology that pops up again and again is electric cars. It is praised by well-meaning people as good for the environment and a way to reduce our oil dependence, especially as oil prices continue to rise. Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins. People in California love to talk about “ zero-emissions vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something- usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的） plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Its just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. Its as if the California Greens are covering their eyes - “ If I cant see it, its not happening. “ Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas ( or another fue) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat - at the generator, through the transmission（传送） lines, etc. A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far - so electric cars burn more fuel than gas- powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources. In addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one lace. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.41. Which of the following statements will the writer support? A. Any kind of alternative energy is a good thing. B. Alternative energy is bound to take the place of oil. C. People should have an objective view towards alternative energy. D. Solar panel is a good example of alternative energy that meets three properties.42. What does “ clueless” mean in Paragraph 7? A. People see the California Greens everywhere. B. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles. C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells. D. People there have no idea that so far electrically mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.43. What is the main idea for the text? A. Green technology is not always green. B. Alternative energy is economically practical. C. Electric cars are not clean at all. D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.44. According to the text, electric cars _. A. are more environmentally friendly B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill45. It can be inferred from the text that _. A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication B. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment D. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins BSteve Jobs, Apples chief executive, made his first public appearance since going on medical leave six weeks ago, taking the stage at a San Francisco media event to introduce the iPad 2, the second generation of the companys tablet computer.Thin but energetic, Mr. Jobs showed off a thinner iPad. “ Weve been working on this product for a while and I just didnt want to miss this day,” he said.His absence has concerned investors, especially since the group has given no details of his condition. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2004 and had a liver transplant during almost six moths of medical leave in 2009. People close to him said last month his health had been changing.Apples stock rose more than 2 percent in the minutes after Mr. Jobs began speaking, then gave up some of its gain as he detailed the iPad 2.The iPad 2 will go on sale in black and white versions in the US on March 11 and in 26 other countries, including the UK and Germany, on March 25. The table is Apples biggest product launch since the iPhone three years ago, and is comparable to the iPhone as the most expected in Apples history.Most of the improvements in the latest version had been expected, including front and rear-facing video, which allows video conferencing between iPads, Mac computers and the most recent iPhones and iPods, a larger speaker, a faster processor and other upgrades. The iPad 2 is one-third thinner than the original tablet and slightly lighter, with a 9.7-inch touchscreen. It can run movies, books, games and a complete range of applications. In the US it will work with AT&T and Verizon, the top two mobile carriers. The pricing will be the same to the 2010 iPad at its introduction, ranging from $499 to $829 in six models. But Apple dropped prices on the older iPad on Wednesday by $100 across the board.Apple has made the most of its year-long head start in tablets, selling 15,000,000 units of the older iPad last year and taking about 85 percent of the market. Forrester predicted that the iPad 2 would clain 80 percent of the US market this year, or 20,000,000 out of 24,000,000 total shipped. This prediction was based on both the technical improvements to the iPad 2, and the distribution difficulties and higher prices for Apples rivals.Motorola, BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, Samsung and others have brought out competing tablets, many based on Googles Android software.Mr. Jobs said the rest of the field was still catching up with the first iPad and their markets for applications designed for tablets had, at best, 100 small programs. This compares with 65,000 on Apples applications store.46. Why are the investors of Apple worried according to the text? A. Apples stock price changes a lot B. Steve Jobs health condition is not stable C. The iPad 2 has some technical drawbacks D. Apple faces strong competition from other companies.47. In what respect are the iPad 2 and the 2010 iPad exactly alike? A. the weight B. the speaker C. the thickness D. the pricing at the in
