performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.I tried as hard as I could to remain calm,but my heart was racing.I stared down at my sweat-covered,shakinghands.I looked up again at the audience realizing that these were real people.They were not just my mum and dad,whowould say,“Good job!even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music?What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out,I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was waiting for me.I grasped myhands tightly together,drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room.It contained 88 demanding keys,which werewaiting impatiently to be played,swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump（隆起部分）in my throat and sat down Slowly,Iopened the music.Next,I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory（象牙色的）keys.As my fingers played across the keys,I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment.But thememory of my years of training came flooding back.I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I couldplay it backwards if requested.Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one,I continued to move my fingersautomatically.My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me.I was not going to lose my concentration.To keep this to myself,I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page,a warning went off inside my head:DONT MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOUTURN THE PAGE!Needless to say,I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind.And,proud of my“page-turning skill,I finished therest of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away,a celebration went into action inside my head.I had finished.I had finished.I hadmastered the impossible.1、How did the author feel while on stage before the performance?A.Over the moon.B.On pins and needles.C.As cool as a cucumber.D.Hot under the collar.2、We

imported fuel.And thats why theMoroccan government is moving ahead with a huge concentrated solar power plant near the desert city of Ouarzazate one of four plants in total which,when completed,will have generating capacity（发电量）of 580MW.Combined withthe countrys wind and hydro-power（水力发电）efforts,Moroccos ambitious solar push will mean the country will getclose to 50%of its electricity from renewable generation as early as 2020.Phase I of the project,the 160MW Noor 1,is going to start generating electricity next month and includes a capacityfor molten sand energy storage which will allow up to 3 hours of electricity generation after the sun goes down.Phases 2and 3 will have the capacity for up to eight hours of storage,meaning that solar energy really could be used to powerhomes around the clock.Besides the scale of such plans,whats impressive to me is how quickly the renewable energy can be developed.What other forms of energy could so greatly change a countrys energy composition in just a few short years?Not onlyshould this be an encouraging sign for those of us who favor renewable energy,but it also should give reason forwould-be investors in traditional fossil fuel generating industry.If renewable energy costs continue to fall,even existing（现有的）coal and gas plants will find themselves limited bynewer;cleaner forms of energy that can be increased rapidly.Interestingly,some analysts suggest this is happening already.In the US,for example,coal power plants are beingretired earlier than expected due to a combination of increased competition from gas and renewable energy,as well astighter regulations of emissions（排放）.Also,increasing amounts of solar and wind cause gas and coal plants not to use,significantly reducing their profits and further giving an edge to the clean energy competition.If this proves to be the case in North Africa too,Moroccos solar ambitions could help transform the energy systemwell beyond its own borders.1、Whafs the main theme of the passage?A.Solar energy is fully developed in Morocco.B.There are advantages of developing solar energy.C.Morocco is a country with quantities of deserts.D.Moroccos efforts to generate renewable electricity.2、What is the advantage of Phase 1?A.Its energy storage can last up to three hours.B.It has the capacity for as many as eight hours.C.It continues producing electricity after the sun sets.D.It is going to begin generating electricity in a month.3、What does the author think of the renewable energy development?A.Upset.B.Striking.C.Sensitive.D.Doubtful.4 Coal power plants in the US are being retired earlier than expected because ofA.various reasons B.heavy pollutionC.fierce competition D.the governments limitation24.（8 分）Joanna Cole,born on August 11,1944 in

national average,putting thecountry at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water,according to the company.The iceberg takes along time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater,while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects（使转向）itsheat.Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks,before being processed.wThis is the
