课后巩固训练 阅读理解According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts 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 world's 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 Hywind's 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 cable（缆索）；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind's 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 it's 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 spar's 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 planet's surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1.

Of course it is.（阅读训练答案BCD写作训练答案ln the future , transportation will become cleaner; faster and safer. It is likely for man togo on a space travel. We can take a vacation on the moon or visit other planets. With the earth/s land left no enough room, man can even live under the sea.As for education, there will be no more teachers giving lessons in the classroom. Students can study at home on the radio or Tv instead of going to school every day. In addition, every family will have videophones, through which we can go shopping and take a physical examination .In the field of health and medicine , people in the future will be able to enjoy a longer and healthier life and remain active even in old age.In a word, in the future the new science and technology can make our life easier.反盗版维权声明北京凤凰学易科技（学科网：V/W. zxxk. com）郑重发表如下 声明：一、本网站原创内容，由本网站依照运营规划，安排专项经费，组织 名校名师创作完成，本公司拥有著作权。二、本网站刊登的试卷、教案、课件、学案等内容，经著作权人授权， 本公司享有独家信息网络传播权。三、任何个人、企事业单位（含教盲网站）或者其他组织，未经本公 司许可，不得以复制、发行、表演、广播、信息网络传播、改编、汇编、 翻译等任何方式使用本网站任何作品及作品的组成局部。四、一旦发现侵犯本网站作品著作权的行为,欢迎予以举报。举报 ：。举报内容对查实侵权行为确有帮助的，一经确认，将给予所获得奖励。五、我们将联合全国各地文化执法机关和相关司法机构，并结合广大 用户和网友的举报，严肃清理侵权盗版行为，依法追究侵权者的民事、 行政和刑事责任！特此声明！北京凤凰学易科技
