pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. an experiment under way off the coast of norway, however, could help put them anywhere. the project, called hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, hywind represents totally new technology. the turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture), a technology hywinds creator, the norwegian company statoilhydro, has developed recently. the steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables (缆索); these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. hywinds stability (稳定性) in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. if all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern norway as early as september. to produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. to make that turbine heavier, the whole spars centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. to do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture). hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. if the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. 1. the hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of.a. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorb. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterc. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windd. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. to balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting.a. on the sea floorb. on the spar topc. at sea level d. behind the blades3. wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can.a. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsb. make financial profits by producing more turbinesc. settle the arguments about environmental problemsd. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea【参考答案】1-3 bcd阅读理解。 given that many peoples moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was

chocolate research facility (crf) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.its founder is chris lee who grew up at his parents corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets. if the crf

difficulties through constant struggles as well as persistence.it is a dream that enables one to do better in life. like most classmates, there was a time when i dreamed of being an excellent student in english after entering junior middle school, though my english was very poor then. to catch up with my classmates, i made up my mind to learn english well and made pen-friends with some foreign students so as to practise my spoken english and improve my written english. although some of my classmates often went to the movies in the evening, seldom did i take part in such activities. instead, i set aside to concentrate on my english and won the final english speech contest around the city this term, realizing my dream.at present, i also have another dream. as a senior 3 student, i hope that i can be admitted to a key university after graduation from middle school. of course, whether my dream will come true depends largely on my personal efforts. although life is full of ups and downs, i choose to go forward bravely. i strongly believe that where there is a dream, there is hope and there is a

english. 倒装句：只要句中有介词短语或状语从句，便可将其提前，变成倒装句。only when i turned right at the crossing did that car crack towards me. only by this means can he escape from the big fire. with引导的伴随结构：可以将状语从句
