一、完形填空
Like most children growing up in the countryside, Mike loved being outdoors and travelled around every inch of the area.
With a deep love of the land, he had a strong wish to 1 it. When Mike saw rubbish floating(漂浮)in the rivers，he got 2. He knew he had to do something. While only in the third grade, Mike started a group. Its aim was to 3 the countryside and teach other young people about pollution and its dangers.
But Mike faced a challenge(挑战). Because he was a 4 boy, he found it hard to speak out in public. However, with his mom's help, Mike 5 dealt with his fear. He once said, "I took responsibility(责任)and did what needed to be done. When your heart is into it，6 will stop you."
Mike always worked very hard to 7 his great idea to the public. He handed out leaflets on the weekend and even gave some talks on radio and TV many times. His efforts paid off. He won 8 from several thousand people. And his group collected and recycled more than 22,000 pounds of rubbish.
Now, as a college student, Mike's 9 is still the same. He often says, "I want to create a 10 life for my kids and grandkids."

二、阅读理解
People have been facing the problem of finding clean energy for a long time. More than a hundred years ago, people started placing turbines(涡轮)in rivers. The moving water turned the turbine and produced power. More recently, companies have begun using the power of the wind to provide electrical energy. Both of them avoid the use of fossil fuels(石油燃料)and help build a cleaner environment.
In the past few years, however, another energy source has become available(可获取的)on the coasts of the United States. People there now want to use the power of the rise and fall of ocean water each day. Like wind power, tidal(潮汐的)power provides a very clean energy.
Wind comes and goes and there is no way to control it. Tidal power is predictable(可预测的)and it happens every day. People know exactly when the tide will come in and go out.
In some ways, tidal turbines are very similar to those used to make electricity from wind. For example, both types of turbines must have a very heavy foundation(地基). Wind turbines need them because they are very tall and might fall over in high winds. Tidal turbines need them because they are placed in narrow openings on the ocean floor. In these places, the force of the moving water is very strong.
In other ways, the two types of turbines are quite different. The blades(桨叶)of a tidal turbine must be much stronger than those of a wind turbine. A company called Verdant Energy built some model turbines for its project in New York City's East River. When they put the turbines into the river, the blades broke off at once. The company had to design new, stronger blades before the project could continue.
()1. What can we learn about tidal power according to the text?
A. Tidal power is cheap to produce.
B. Tidal power works in any place.
C. Tidal power doesn't need turbines.
D. Tidal power needs stronger blades.
( )2. The following sentence can be best placed at the beginning of ______ .
However, it does have one big advantage(优势)over wind power.
A. Paragraph 2
B. Paragraph 3
C. Paragraph 4
D. Paragraph 5
()3. How is the passage organized?
A. By explaining events in time order.
B. By offering problems and advice.
C. By describing the use of fossil fuels.
D. By comparing(对比)two different types of energy.
()4. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Clean Energy
B. Fossil Fuels vs Clean Energy
C. How Turbines Work in Rivers and Oceans
D. Tidal Energy: A Better Choice Than Wind Power?
