Qingming Festival, also called the Tomb Sweeping Day, is usually celebrated between April 4 and April 6. This festival dates back to 2,500 years ago. It’s a time for remembering loved ones who have passed away. When visiting the tombs of their lost loved ones, people usually sweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds. They also offer varieties of food and flowers in front of the tomb. Some even burn paper money, hoping to keep the ancestors happy, as Chinese believe that the spirits of past ancestors look after the living. Qingming Festival also marks the beginning of the planting season and outdoor activities. So, in a way, on this day both life and death are respected. When and how do you pay your respect to your ancestors? Looking forward to your reply.

The oldest and most common source (来源) of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere —- from trees and grasses to agricultural and city —- life wastes —-biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide, because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously —-with only as much grown as is used— the “battery” lasts forever.

According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008—-although the numbers aren’t all in yet—-wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.

Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.

1.Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”?

A. It burns simply plant matter.

B. It stores the energy from the sun.

C. It keeps producing electricity.

D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.

2.We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.

A. 0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass

B. biomass might become the main energy source

C. there was a rapid growth of electricity production

D. Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.

3.Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?

A. To save money.

B. To prevent the waste of energy.

C. To reduce pollution.

D. To increase production safety.

4.Where does the text probably come from?

A. A book review.   B. A business report.

C. A research plan. D. A science magazine

The biggest threat to the future of Oxfordshire’s economy is transport.

That is the key finding of a major new report which interviewed more than 120 county companies. The results show 76 percent of the company owners and directors believe traffic jams and the quality of transport are affecting their business.

More than 30 percent say this is costing them dearly in the form of extra fuel(燃料) costs, while some say the situation of being stuck in jams on key roads such as the A34 and A40 every day is making it harder to employ workers.

But lack of safer cycling plans is encouraging 72 percent of people to continue to go to work by car.

The report has led the government to try to work out a solution to the situation on the county’s crowded roads.

Nicola Blackwood, an official of Oxfordshire, recently brought transport minister Stephen Hammond to the county and said he became stuck in a traffic jam on the A34.

As a result, he has promised that he will aim to look at entire roads, rather than individual projects such as improving junctions (交叉路口).

Ms Blackwood said: “If we are able to achieve anything like our economic growth, we need to solve the problems that not only affect the new companies but also the growth of existing local businesses. What I want to see most of all is the quick production of a plan to solve the problem of the A34.”

John Cardy, co-founder of Garden Games, said he had considered moving his business from a farm in Garford to Witney but traffic fears had made him reconsider. He added: “Most of our employees were not prepared to use the A40 which is always crowded.”

1.According to the report, _____.

A. the A34 and A40 are the most crowded roads

B. more and more workers are losing their jobs

C. companies spend more on fuel than before

D. there is a serious lack of fuel

2.What do we know about the report mentioned in the text?

A. It aims to develop safer cycling plans.

B. It focuses on the unemployment problem.

C. It has attracted the government’s attention.

D. It is based on Stephen Hammond’s experience.

3.According to Ms Blackwood, what’s the most important thing to do?

A. To solve the problem of heavy traffic.

B. To limit the growth of new businesses.

C. To invite the transport minister to Oxfordshire.

D. To find ways to develop the county’s economy.

4.John Cardy’s worry shows _____.

A. his employees are always caught in traffic jams on the A40

B. most of his employees aren’t satisfied with him

C. transport is holding back business growth

D. business growth leads to traffic jams
