Passage One:

As long as the sun shines, the earth will not run out of energy. The sun pours more energy on earth than we can ever use. Most of that energy comes to us as heat and light. Energy from the sun is called solar energy.

Anything to do with the sun is called “solar”. The word began with the Roman word for the sun and their god of the sun, who was called Sol. Solar energy is a safe kind of energy. It doesn’t make pollution or have dangerous leftovers. That is why scientists and investors are experimenting with ways of harnessing (治理利用) the sun to do some of the jobs fossil fuels have been doing.

But to make the sun do work like that, they have to solve some problems. They have to collect the sun’s energy. Collecting sunshine is not easy, unless you are a plant. Sunshine is not easy to store, either. You can’t fill a tank with it or put it in the wood box. You can not move it through a pipe or a wire. You can not just turn it on.

6. What form does most of solar energy take to reach us?

A. Light. B. Heat. C. Gas. D. Both A and B.

7. Where does the word “solar” come from?

A. Greek. B. Roman. C. Old English. D. Chinese.

8. Which of the following is NOT true of solar energy?

A. It is a safe energy. B. It is a green energy.

C. It may cause pollution to the air. D. It is endless.

9. What are the problems facing scientists who want to use solar energy?

A. It is not easy to collect. B. It is not easy to store.

C. It is not easy to find out. D. Both A and B.

10. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To give a brief introduction to solar energy.

B. To explain the reason why it is not easy to make solar energy.

C. To give information about the advantage of solar energy.

D. To give a brief introduction to the word “solar”.

Passage Two

Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do

some teaching, that is , tutoring in math and English.

You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors----- he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.
