Coal remains a critical component of the world’s energy supply
despite its image as a polluter. As an enemy of environmentalists, it creates so much pollution. In this
case, coal still has the undeniable advantages of being widely available and
easy to ship and burn. The biggest attraction is low cost, however. By many
estimates, burning coal still costs about one-third as much as using renewable
energy like wind or solar power. As a result, global demand for coal is
expected to reach 8.9 billion metric tons by 2016. In addition to strong demand
for thermal coal, which is burned in power plants, use of metallurgical coal or
coking coal is also expected to double. For now, coal seems to be avoiding a
serious potential impediment to its
use: international treaties restricting greenhouse gas emissions. So far, such
agreements to prevent climate change have been ineffective. In the long term,
coal’s future depends on China and India, which rely heavily on coal for their
electric power, and its prospects look bright mainly because it is cheaper than
its competitors.
( ) 41. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) The demand for coal. (B) The
greenhouse effect.
(C) The use of wind energy. (D) The climate
change.
ˉ

ˉ
( ) 43. According to the passage, why does coal’s future
rely on China and India?
(A) The two countries have not found relatively
clean energy sources yet.
(B) The two countries depend heavily upon
coal to generate power.
(C) Coal industry attracts a lot of attention
in the two countries.
(D) Coal is bright and readily available in
the two countries.
ˉ

In Chinese mythology, snakes are often associated with monsters.
Some experts on Taoist customs and beliefs suggest that people put on some
decorations with snake designs. Others recommend that people should buy
orchids, tulips, and other yellow-colored flowers. These are helpful ways to
begin 2013, the Year of the Snake, to attract some good luck.
For some people, snakes have long been scary. One reason may be that
unlike most other animals, they have no legs. Another is that some species are
deadly poisonous. The other reason may be that they are silent creatures and
can often attack without any warning. When people see snakes, they often
scream, hoping to frighten them away. In fact, they are just wasting their
time. Snakes cannot hear screams because they have no ears. Their eyesight is
generally weak, too. However, they have a good sense of smell and can feel even
the smallest vibrations made by walking animals. Some snakes can also detect
heat so that they can hunt at night for small animals like mice and rabbits.
Though they have no arms or legs, they can swallow their prey, alive and whole. Every animal has its strengths and weaknesses,
and snakes are no exception.
The best way to protect oneself against the bite of a poisonous
snake begins long before seeing one. Before going hiking or picnicking, be sure
to wear heavy shoes or boots. Avoid walking through high grass or over fallen
trees. Stay on the hiking paths or in open fields. Whatever you do, don’t bother
to scream.
ˉ
( ) 46. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) How to treat snakebites. (B) A general
introduction to snakes.
(C) The eating habits of snakes. (D) Where to find snakes.
ˉ
( ) 47. According to the passage, which of the
following is mentioned as a symbol of good luck?
(A) Keeping snakes as pets. (B) Shoes or boots.
(C) Decorations with snake designs. (D) Fallen trees.
ˉ
( ) 48. Which of the following reasons is NOT given in the passage to
explain why people are scared of snakes?
(A) Their poisonous bites.
(B) Their open and bright eyes.
(C) Their lack of arms and legs.
(D) Their ability to attack people without
warning.
ˉ
( ) 49. The word “prey” in the second paragraph refers to __________.
(A) screams (B)
small vibrations (C) silent creatures (D) hunted animals
