Home Heating
Central heating became popular only after the Civil War Typically, coat-burning furnaces (火炉) fueled the early systems Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960 its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses Because it comes primarily from US and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable (脆弱的) than oil is to war Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England
Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties
Home heating which accounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the US, has had a commendable (值得赞扬的) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in-the number of housing units and an increase in house size The U S
Department of Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades that rise is small considering an expected 21 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses
Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades Solar (太阳的) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas; in 2000 only 47,000 homes relied on it.
第 36 题 Natural gas didn't become the leading fuel until（）
A．1978
B．1960
C．1997
D．2000

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree is not a guarantee for a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question," Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job？" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
What is the main idea of the talk？
A．Schools offering MBA courses.
B．Economic prosperity brought by MBA graduates.
C．Changes in enrollment for MBA schools.
D．How to obtain an MBA degree.

Passage Two:Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present＜ sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.
Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.
At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies.
第26题：The phrase “be brought forward” (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ________.
A) be expected
B) be completed
C) be advanced
D) be introduced

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U. S. minority (少数民族 ). As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian--American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. , with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. Ah effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ______.
A．feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B．are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C．still worry about unfair treatment in society
D．generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
