                          （A）
     After a 13-year ban on the sale of fireworks in Beijing, Kang Guoliang, 51, was able to start his old trade again yesterday.
     As a salesman in Xinhui store in Dongcheng District, he is happy about the increasing number of buying fireworks wrapped in red paper — a color standing for happiness and good luck.
     “Fireworks are available for the first time in town for more than a decade,” Kang said happily. “People will buy them.”
     The store has 300 boxes of fireworks piled up and is open 24 hours at the moment. Residents are buying the fireworks and firecrackers for the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on February 18.
     Citywide, 2,116 registered stores and retailers, 585 in the centre and 1,600 on the outskirts are trading fireworks in the Chinese capital. Sales of fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road started yesterday and will last until March 4, Xinhua reported. Among the stores, 117 stores are permitted to operate 24 hours. About 600,000 boxes of firecrackers worth more than 100 million yuan have been carried to registered stores.
     The Chinese capital began a ban in 1993 to reduce fireworks-related deaths and fires during the holiday season. Last September the ban was removed in response to residents’ fondness for fireworks when celebrating Spring Festival.
     According to new rules, Beijing residents are allowed to set off fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road all day on Lunar New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s day, from 7 a.m. to midnight every day from February 19 to March 4.
     “Spring Festival without fireworks is not Spring Festival,” said Sheng Hefei, who was buying fireworks in the store. “It was fun to light the firecrackers when I was little,” he said. “The sound and view of fireworks make a real holiday.” However, not all residents welcome the return of firecrackers because of injuries, pollution and noise. “My child is scared of the sudden sound of firecrackers, and it is annoying to hear it all night long,” complained Lu Jun, a local resident.

    People will soon cool their homes with power from the burning desert sun. Deserts are becoming hot spots for solar thermal (热的) power in which futuristic troughs (低谷期) pay more attention to the sun's rays and create steam to run power-producing turbines (涡轮机) at power plants.
     Tiny experimental plants built in the 1980s in California ran into problems when energy prices dropped. But as oil, natural gas and electricity costs soar, companies are racing to build commercial solar thermal plants that are the size of power plants.
     Limits on emissions (释放) of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels have also promoted the new technology. Utah-based International Automated Systems Inc. signed an agreement to build a $150 million, 100-megawatt power plant for Solar Renewable Energy in Nevada. And North Carolinabased Solargenix will break ground on a 64 MW, $100 million solar thermal plant called Nevada Solar One.
     Currently, all the types of solar energy provide only about 1 percent of U. S. power. One problem is price. Solar thermal at present costs about 12 to 15 cents per kilowatt hour, Westerholt said, compared with natural gas power which costs 10 cents per KWH. But as production grows, solar companies expect costs to slip to 8 cents per KHW in five years.
     Solar thermal is expensive compared with wind energy and fuels. But it does have advantages. Power from the desert sun is more reliable than wind power during the day. And unlike fuels, it has no greenhouse gases.
      And solar thermal is growing globally. A white paper says that by 2040 solar power could satisfy more than 5 percent of the world's electricity demand. The best places for it are Australia, the United States Spain, the Middle East and North Africa, which could export power from the sun to Europe on high-tech power lines.
40. How many factors does the passage mention which affect the development of solar thermal power?
A. One.              B. Two.
C. Three.                 D. Four.
41. The underlined word “soar” ( in Paragraph 2 ) means ________.
A. dropped           B. disappeared
C. limited                D. increased
42. The passage mentioned Solargenix in order to show that _________.
    A. limits on greenhouse gases can encourage new technologies
    B. it will need lots of money to build Solargenix
    C. Solargenix was a newly-built plant
    D. the solar thermal power has its own promising future
43. According to the passage, which of the following energy supplies is more reliable and renewable during the day?
A. Wind.             B. Oil.
C. The sun.               D.
