　　阅读理解 (2017·江西八校联考)

　　The forces that make Japan one of the world’s most earthquake­prone (有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its long­term energy solution.

　　Water from deep below the ground at Japan’s tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.

　　Although Japanese high­tech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it，its use is limited in the nation.

　　“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said

　　Yoshiyasu Takefuji，a leading researcher of thermal­electric power production.

　　The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11,2011 caused a reaction against atomic power，which previously made up 30 percent of Japan’s energy needs，and increased interest in alternative energies，which accounted for only 8 percent.

　　Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy，following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.

　　For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.

　　The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan’s potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.

　　“We can’t even dig 10 cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric，adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.

　　Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，“Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades­long project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”

　　The Earth Policy Institute in Washington，US，believed Japan could produce 80 000 megawatts (兆瓦) and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.

　　Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology，with a 70 percent market share.In 2010，Fuji Electric built the world’s largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.

　　1．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．Alternative energies in Japan

　　B．World’s largest geothermal plant

　　C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology

　　D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy

　　2．What percentage of Japan’s energy needs is geothermal energy?

　　A．About 8%.B．Below 1%.

　　C．Around 30%.D．Over 80%.

　　3．According to Shigeto Yamada，the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs________.

　　A．a change of rules B．financial support

　　C．local people’s help D．high technology

　　4．Geothermal energy is considered as a long­term program by________.

　　A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji

　　B．Hideaki Matsui

　　C．Shigeto Yamada

　　D．Yoko Ono

　　5．It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that________.

　　A．the world’s biggest geothermal plant was built by America

　　B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology

　　C．the potential of Japan’s geothermal energy is great

　　D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan

　　have evolved the foundation for back legs even before the move to land, researchers say. This ancestor may have even been able to walk underwater, they add.

　　These findings reveal that a key step in the evolution of back limbs happened in fish,

　　challenging previous theories that such appendages（附肢）evolved only after the move to land.

　　Scientists investigated fossils（化石）of a 375-million-year-old fish known as Tiktaalik,

　　discovered in 2004 in northern Canada's Ellesmere Island. Possessing a broad flat head and

　　sharp teeth, Tiktaalik resembled a cross between a fish and a crocodile, growing to a length of 9 feet (2.7 meters) as it hunted for its food in shallow freshwater.

　　This ancient creature was undoubtedly a fish. However, it also had features seen in modern tetrapods（四足动物）．

　　This ancient fish had large forefins and shoulders, elbows and partial wrists, enabling it to support itself on ground. This makes it the best-known example of a link between finned（鳍）animals and limbed animals marking the evolutionary change from water to land for creatures with backbones.

　　Previous analyses of other fossils dating from the water-land change found their back

　　appendages were small and weak compared with their front appendages. This suggested the

　　earliest ancestors of tetrapods perhaps had a "front-wheel drive" form of movement that

　　depended more on their front limbs, and that a "four-wheel drive" form of movement with strong hips and back limbs only developed after tetrapods evolved.

　　Until now, the only fossils of Tiktaalik researchers had examined were of its front parts. To find out more about the fish, researchers investigated additional blocks of rock recovered from the dig site where Tiktaalik was discovered. Although some of these blocks were first dug in 2004, researchers did not look at them more closely until recently, mainly because the blocks did not seem to contain much bone. Moreover, it took years to carefully and properly remove the rock surrounding the fragile fossils.

　　The scientists discovered the back part of Tiktaalik．This made a direct comparison of the front and back appendages of the animal possible. Unexpectedly, the researchers found Tiktaalik had big, strong pelvic（胃盆）bones with similarities to early tetrapods.

　　"I was expecting to find a diminutive back fin and pelvis," study lead author Neil Shubin, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago, told LiveScience. "Seeing the huge pelvis set me back a bit-I looked at it again and again, because I was quite surprised."

　　Shubin cautioned that Tiktaalik is not the ancestor of all limbed vertebrates. It is currently the closest known relative, "but not the only, direct ancestor," he said. "It is more like our closest cousin."

　　63．According to the passage, previous findings show that＿．

　　A. the evolution of back limbs happened under the water

　　B. the ancestors of limbed animals could walk underwater

　　C. the back legs of limbed animals evolved after the transition to living on land

　　D. tetrapods had a "four-wheel drive" form of movement before they evolved

　　64. Scientists think the findings of Tiktaalik are significant because＿．

　　A. Tiktaalik is the earliest fish living on the earth

　　B. Tiktaalik fills a gap between fish and limbed animals

　　C. Tiktaalik is the only closest known relative of limbed animals

　　D. Tiktaalik gives them a chance to compare the front and back limbs

　　65．Why didn't the researchers examine the fossils of the back part of Tiktaalik many years ago?

　　A. Because the blocks contained too much bone of Tiktaalik.

　　B ．Because Tiktaalik is not the ancestor of all limbed animals.

　　C. Because the research of fossils is a slow and time-consuming process.

　　D. Because the fossils were discovered in northern Canada's Ellesmere Island.

　　66. What does the underlined word "diminutive" in Paragraph 8 mean?

　　A. Unique. B. Complete. C. Flexible. D. Small.
