Modern technology has developed in a manner which often conflicts with the environment. Nevertheless, it is possible and practical to achieve a high level of technology without altering the overall natural environment.
There are two basic methods of conserving(保护) the natural environment. One is alternative technology in which techniques (such as windmills and solar energy) must be found for providing power. The other is to try to minimize the effects of modern technology by the more efficient use of materials and more effective pollution control. There comes a point when the quality of life can no longer be improved because of the high population density(密度) and the largely unsuccessful attempts to meet its demands.
Present energy policies of the western world are considering new energy sources to meet the demands of a growing population. The main sources used have been oil, gas, and coal－which are in limited supply－and nuclear power, which has problems concerning radioactive waste storage. Wind and solar energy are alternative possibilities, but only solar energy is likely to become a main power source for many countries.
Many of the materials used daily in a technological society are destined (注定)to be discarded. Rags, paper, metal, glass, and plastics are all substances that could be recycled or reused. Research is being done to determine methods of separating useful products from industrial and domestic waste.
The processing of sewage requires considerable amounts of electricity. Many sewage treatment plants in the U. S. have become self－sufficient by using the methane gas(沼气) given off by sewage. This is collected in gas holders and burned to produce heat and create electricity. The solid waste itself is often used for soil enrichment.
1．Modern technology is harmful to the natural environment because ________.
[ ]
A．of industrial pollutants.
B．it has become too expensive.
C．it has become too complicated.
D．it consumes all natural resources.
2．Alternative technology suggests that ________.
[ ]
A．new ways be found to burn coal, oil and gas.
B．solar energy and wind power be considered.
C．new ways be found to store radioactive waste.
D．the present energy resources be fully used.
3．Methane gas is used to ________.
[ ]
A．conserve(保存) industrial residues(废料).
B．create recycled paper products.
C．provide electricity to process sewage.
D．treat with the raw sewage.
4．From the selection, we can determine that ________.
[ ]
A．conservation technology is a necessity.
B．nuclear power is the energy source of the future.
C．problems of energy conservation are not worldwide.
D．all the industrial and domestic wastes can be reused and recycled.
5．Processing sewage requires large quantities of ________.

After this, the teacher gave the boy 9 the other boys in the class． His name was Karl Friedrich Gauss, and when he 10 , he became a famous professor of mathematics．

One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to the US. I am from a beachside town in the 16 of Sydney, and thought there would be almost no 17 differences between my home country and my 18 . I was surprised at how wrong I was, and at 19 different the two countries could be.
The United States is 20 in almost every aspect. The buildings are gigantic (巨大的) and so are the people who 21 and work in them. At mealtimes, the portions (份额) often 22 to me to be big enough for three or four people. I once 23 a baked potato which turned out to be bigger than my head! This was a big 24 for me.
The longer I spent in the US, the more I started to 25 smaller differences like the culture of 26 in restaurants. In Australia we don’t tend to give a tip 27 the service has been really excellent. In the US you tip for 28 everything, even at the hairdresser. Waiters and shop assistants 29 to be given 15 percent of the bill, although in places 30 New York or Washington DC, a tip can be as much as 20 percent.
31 , I also became more wary (谨慎的) of believing the stereotypes (成见) I had heard at home as I traveled. Not all Americans are ignorant of geography, for example.
Despite this, certain stereotypes about places did seem to 32 true for me. There is an immense (强烈的) sense of speed in New York. Everyone 33 to and fro, and very seldom takes time to 34 the moment. This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.
Navigating (驾驭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that 35 and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.
