听力原文：The state of Illinois plans to install solar energy systems in 2.5 million homes

听力原文： The state of Illinois plans to install solar energy systems in 2.5 million homes by 2020 to save electricity and reduce pollution from power plants and industrial facilities, Governor Andrew Marshall said on Friday. New legislation states that any homes builders make based on the energy plan will be required to offer solar panels as an option for new homes in Illinois from 2010. Home buyers will receive 40% panel installation rebates from the state government, and also upon request, prospective buyers will get an estimate of installation costs and possible energy savings which will be credited to the buyers' accounts. During peak periods, it is expected that every year up to one million watts of electricity will be saved and pollution will be reduced by 50 million tons of carbon dioxide-based pollutants.

When will buyers be informed about installing solar panels as an option from the builders？

A．In 2010.

B．In 2020.

C．In 2040.

D．In 2050.

听力原文： Those who use solar energy help us save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that's all, that's all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, such as the sun.

We won't have to worry about the sun's running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides being an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. For example, the sun does not offer pollution as other energy sources.

Furthermore, owners of solar homes will have extra protection against rising fuel costs. They will also have some protection against fuel shortage. When utility costs go up, owners of solar homes won't have to face the burdens brought about by increased costs.

With all these good points, why don't we see more of solar power？ There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy around. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. And experts say that gas will triple in cost in the next few years. In fact, gas is in such short supply right now that, in some places, it is not sold to new customers. Some customers are even having their supplies cut back.

(33)

A．Rising fuel costs to limit the use of it.

B．Saving energy and use other sources.

C．Having protection against fuel shortage.

D．Putting in a solar unit in every house.

n help the whole country as well．(33)Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things．Where you live is one factor．The type of home you have is another．Things like insulation，present energy coats and the type of system you buy are added factors．

Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel．As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited．There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs when Mother Nature says that's all．The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources，like the sun．

We won't have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so．Besides being an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well．(34)The sun doesn't offer as many problems as other energy sources．For example，fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels．With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won't need as much．That means we can cut down on our pollution problems．

Solar coats are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity．Experts say that gas，oil and electricity prices will continue to rise．The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly．But new power plants will use more gas，oil or coal．Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed．(35)Solar energy is now in its infancy．It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply．

听力原文： Little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.

Solar energy is only in its infancy, however, sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south. Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels cost from ＄ 100 to more than ＄ 500 each, and the three or four bedroom homes usually require a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches, or very narrow flower boxes, 3 to 6 feet in width, 8 to 10 feet long, and 4 to 8 inches thick. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a ＄ 1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.

What do we learn about the use of solar energy in the USA？

A．It is very well established.

B．It is relatively new.

C．It is found in one million homes.

D．It is being rapidly expanded.

听力原文： Those who had seen the film at previous sessions are divided into groups studying the elements of a petroleum-free community: food, water, shelter, health and medicine, and alternate energy sources. The energy group, which includes two solar equipment installers and a re- tired engineer/physicist, will study existing alternative energy sources and determine which are possible here. Also on the list are alternate-fuel transit systems, energy waste and conservation potential, and the offerings of at least two bio-diesel suppliers. The shelter group is considering such alternate building styles and how much of the needed material can be produced locally. Group members want to know how many people will need housing in the future and how to develop new housing without jeopardizing agricultural land. Opportunities for making existing housing more energy efficient and building shared-housing communities are also on the list. The health and medicine group is looking at incorporating alternative heating systems in the incoming hospital, social service networks, local cultivation of medicinal plants, and legal obstacles to alternative medical approaches.

The water group wants to know the amount needed for a family of four and the possibility of salvaging more of the rainy season's abundance.

What does this passage mainly discuss？

A．The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series.

B．The character of Harry Potter.
