If you go to any college in the United States, you will find most students carrying the same items：boos, laptops, cell phones and their official school identification cards, or IDs. These small plastic cards do more than showing the names and pictures of students.

In recent years, IDs in some colleges can also buy things. The schools enter into agreements with bans so students can lin their cards to private financial accounts. This way, students can use their cards to pay for things lie food on campus and school supplies.

In other words, their IDs become debit cards(借记卡）. However, new research suggests that the way these card programs operate can harm students.

The U.S. Public Interest Research Group(U.S. PIRG) aims to use research to support and protect people's financial interests. The organiation has been looing into agreements between colleges and bans for several years.This April, aitlyn Vite, higher education campaign director for U.S. PIRG, released their latest findings.\with campus debit cards paid over $ 24 million in fees during the last contract year. For eample, students may be charged fees if they use another ban to withdraw money. Or, they may be charged fees if they spend more money than they have in their ban accounts , \fee can create unepected problems for students , however , bans do not mae possible fees clear enough to students.\

U.S.PIRG noted that some bans pay colleges for permission to advertise their debit card programs on campus. The advertising can appear to be part of official school programmes and students may feel pushed towards opening accounts.U.S.PIRG also found a connection between colleges with paid agreements and student fees. Students at colleges that received money from bans ended up paying up to 2.3 times more than students at colleges with unpaid agreements. U.S. PIRG contacted several of the colleges in their latest research, yet they seem not to give satisfying comments.

28. What is the second paragraph mainly about ? A. Potential harm of IDs.

B. Additional use of IDs. D. Students' financial condition.

C. Students consuming habits. 29. What does the PIRG study find?

A. All bans pay for their ban card ads on campus. B. Campus debit cards present high fees for students. C. Many students lie to use debit cards at college. D. Colleges have signed illegal agreements with bans. 30. What do aitlyn Vite's words imply?

A. Colleges benefit a lot from woring with bans. B. Most students fall into heavy debts at college. C. Bans give away students' financial privacy somehow.

D. Students lac enough information on their campus debit cards. 31. What will the author probably tal about in the following paragraph ?

A. Solutions to the phenomenon. B. Future of school IDs. D

D. Response of some schools.

C. Details of debit card programs.

Wind farms have been considered as the way to fight global warming, but a new study suggests they could actually heat the planet up.

The study found that the US would get warmer if the number of turbines(涡轮机）were increased maredly. Researchers say they'll require much more land than previously thought, needing five to 20 times more space than earlier studies have suggested. And winds created by vast fields of turbines could mi warm and cool air, which maes the surface quite warm .

Despite the potential drawbacs, however, the researchers argue wind energy still maes more sense for the environment than fossil fuels. Study coauthor and Harvard University scientist Professor David eith argued that, when it comes to energy production, there is no free lunch. \its effects can be ignored. We must use fewer fossil fuels to stop carbon production. In doing so, we must mae choices between various low-carbon technologies , all of which have some environmental effects , \

More than ten previous studies have now observed local warming caused by US wind farms. Researchers suggested that solar power offers a less damaging energy source in the fight against climate change. In terms of temperature difference per unit of energy generation, solar power has about 10 times less effect than wind, and the solar power energy is mature in a wide range of fields. But there are other considerations. For eample, solar farms are dense(密集的）, while the land between wind turbines can be co-used for agriculture.

Tidal power is an environmentally-friendly energy source. In addition to being a renewable energy, it does not give off any climate gases and does not tae up a lot of space . However , there are currently very few eamples from real tidal power plants and their effects on the environment. Also, it is important to realie that the methods for generating electricity from tidal energy are relatively new technologies. It is projected that tidal power will be commercially profitable within2030 with better technology and larger scales. 32. What is the purpose of the tet? A. To introduce a study finding. B. To discuss the global warming problem. C. To prove the benefits of wind farms.

D. To call attention to environmental protection. 33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about ? A. The effects of global warming. B. The reason for using wind energy. C. The disadvantages of wind farms. D. The woring principle of wind farms. 34. What do Professor David eith's words suggest? A. Producing energy is easier than before. B. Consuming energy damages the environment. C. Burning coal should be totally stopped. D. Developing low-carbon technologies is hard.

35. Which is recommended considering the environment and practical use? A. Wind energy.

Learning a new language can be tough, and there is no magical way to go about it. 36 now your learning style.

Besides, the Foreign Service Institute offers free online language learning materials, which include audio recordings that help with learning pronunciation.

39 This is probably the most important part of the language besides the vocabulary. \If you do not pay attention to grammar, you can sound equally incomprehensible in another language.

Memorie 30 words and phrases each day. Within 90 days this means you will have memoried about 80% of the language. Memoriation is half the battle and there are many different ways to memorie.
