If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence”and its rhetorical （修辞的）companion “energy security”are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through．What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade．It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit．And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices．At the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.25．What does the author say about energy independence for America?A．It sounds very attractive． B．It ensures national security．C．It will bring oil prices down D．It has long been everyone’s dream.26．Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil（原油）.B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C．It wants to keep its own environment undamaged.D．Its own oil production falls short of demand．27．What does the author say about oil trade?A．It proves profitable to both sides．B．It improves economic efficiency．C．It makes for economic prosperity．D．It saves the cost of oil exploration．CThere could be an ocean’s worth of water more than 300 miles under the Earth’s surface that equals the known water content across the entire planet. Findings published in the latest issue of the journal, Nature show that water was found in a sample of ringwoodite, a stone formed under extreme pressure inside the Earth’s mantle (地幔).The ringwoodite discovery was made by Professor Graham Pearson of the University of Alberta. When Pearson”s team examined a seemingly worthless brown diamond they had uncovered, they found the ringwoodite sample within , which contained about 1.5 percent water.However, Pearson and his team acknowledge that the finding, the first of its kind, does not completely settle the water theory. In an accompanying Nature article, University of Bayreuth geochemist, Hans Keppler, cautions that no firm conclusions can be made based on the single ringwoodite sample.But Pearson himself is now convinced，telling the Edmonton Journal,“What you can definitely say from our finding is that there are oases of water --wet spots — in the deep Earth. Now if you extrapolate (推断）it to the whole阅卷人得分of this area we call the transition zone, it means there might be the same mass of water as what is held in all of the world’ s oceans.”If Pea rson is correct, the presence of water deep beneath the Earth’s surface could help scientists better understand the shifting of tectonic(地壳构造上的) plates，which may be thinned and corroded (侵蚀）by the existence of water. As to the existence of the ringwoodite sample itself, Pearson and his team say it was probably pushed to the Earth ’ s surface by a volcanic eruption.So, where did all this water, if it actually exists, come from? Pearson says it may have been sucked down beneath the Earth ’ s surface as tectonic plates shifted.28. According to the text, the water in the ringwoodite sample proves that ____ in the deep Earth.A. there are oceans of waterB. there are a lot of oasesC. there are wet spotsD. there are many diamonds29. What can we learn from the text?A. Ringwoodite samples can usually be found in brown diamonds.B. The ringwoodite sample could help scientists better understand the shifting of tectonic plates.C. The ringwoodite sample was probably formed by a volcanic eruption.D. Whether the water theory is true remains to be proved.30. Hans Keppler’ s attitude towards the water theory is______ .A. supportiveB. objectiveC. cautiousD. opposed31. The water probably came from ___ if it actually exists.A. rainwater accumulated for a long timeB. water pulled down when tectonic plates shiftedC. water pulled down during the formation of the desertD. water pulled down when earthquakes happenedDEDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks. "Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help. Teachers agreed to give up their l ounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.32. What is the text mainly about?A. A best-selling coffee.B. A special educational program.C. Government support for schools.D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.33. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to _____.A. raise money for school affairsB. do some research on nutritionC. develop students' practical skillsD. supply teachers with drinks34. How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman's opinion of the chi tea?A. She met her in the shop.B. She heard her telling others.C. She talked to her on the phone.D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.35. We know from the text that Ginger Gray _____.A. manages the Dixie P1T program in Kenton CountyB. sees that the drinks meet health standardsC. teaches at Dixie Heights High SchoolD. owns the school's coffee shop第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，共15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
