Three windmills(风车) were recently introduced in a Copenhagen neighbourhood, and the city plans to add another 97.“Weve made a very ambitious commitment to make Copenhagen CO2-neutral by 2025,” Frank Jensen, the mayor, says. “But going green isnt only a good thing. Its a must.” The citys carbon-neutral plan, passed two years ago, will make Copenhagen the worlds first zero-carbon capital.With wind power making up 33% of Denmarks energy supply, the country already features plenty of wind turbines. Indeed, among the first sights greeting airborne visitors during the landing at Copenhagens Kastrup airport is a chain of sea-based wind towers. By 2020, the windswept country plans to get 50% of its energy from wind power.Now turbines are moving into the city and these ones will cost less than half the price of those sea-based. Having the energy production closer makes it cheaper, and land-based turbines are the cheapest possible source of energy available today. Fixing them also makes the locals more aware of their energy consumption.Though considerably less attractive than it was in ancient times, the windmill is enjoying popularity in the 21st century. “Windmills are a symbol of the new and clean Copenhagen,” says resident Susanne Sayers. Meanwhile, fellow Copenhagen citizen Maria Andersen worries about the noise, explaining that she wouldnt want a wind turbine in her neighbourhood. While Copenhagen citizens approve of the windmills, theyre less willing to live close to one. The answer, the city has decided, is to sell turbine shares.Each share represents 1,000 kW hours/year, with the profit tax-free. With a typical Copenhagen household consuming 3,500 kW hours/year, a family buying four shares effectively owns its own renewable energy supply. To date, 500 residents have bought 2,500 shares. Involving the local population was a smart move. “There are a lot of things you can do close to people if its not too big and if theres a model where locals feel involved and get to share in the profit. Knowing that you, or your neighbours, own a technology creates a very different atmosphere than if a multinational owned it,” says Vad Mathiesen.Going green? Yes. Accepted by the population? Yes. Going with centuries-old city architecture? Hardly.Certainly, the three turbines dont exactly blight the 18th-century city centre, as they are in a neighbourhood 3 km away. According to the mayors office, none of the remaining 97 turbines will rise in architecturally sensitive areas. But Sascha Haselmayer, CEO of city creation group Citymart, warns, “With Denmark being a world-leading producer of windmills, there is a risk that the answer to every energy question is windmills.”“Weve destroyed mountains and lakes in order to support our lifestyle,” notes Irena Bauman, an architect and professor at Sheffield University. “Wind turbines are a sign that were learning to live with nature. I hope well have them all over the world,” she says. “They may be unpleasant to some, but better-looking ones will come. Its just that we dont have time to wait for them!”41. Denmark has decided to build windmills in its capital mainly to _.A. make windmills its cultural symbolB. advocate an environmentally-friendly lifestyleC. take advantage of its limited wind powerD. greet tourists coming to Copenhagen by plane42.How has the city of Copenhagen persuaded its people to accept the windmills around their homes?A. By promising them that all their income is free of tax.B. By designing less noisy windmills to ease their worries.C. By convincing them that land-based turbines are much cheaper.D. By offering them the chance to get the profit the windmills bring.43. The underlined word “blight” (Paragraph 8) is closest in meaning to _.A. spoilB. improveC. pollute D. occupy44. Sascha Haselmayers attitude to building windmills can best be described as _.A. disapprovingB. unconcerned C. cautiousD. enthusiastic45. Which of the following words would Irena Bauman most probably agree with?A. “It benefits us more to fit wind turbines in cities than in mountain areas or by lakes.”B. “We should sell more wind turbines to other countries to make us one of the richest.”C. “We should devote more time to developing the wind turbines that go with the city.”D. “Its not what wind turbines look like but how we live that really matters at present.”BTo honor the best books for young adults and children, TIME has created this list of classics: Best Young-Adult and Childrens Books.The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time IndianSherman Alexies coming-of-age novel shows family and traditions through young Arnold Spirit, torn between his life in an Indian community and his largely white high school. The specifics are sharply drawn, but this novel, with its themes of self-discovery, speaks to young readers everywhere.Harry Potter What more can be said about J. K. Rowlings unique series? How about this: seven years after the final book was published, readers young and old still go crazy at the slightest rumor of a new Potter story.The Book Thief For many young readers, Markus Zusaks novel provides their first in-depth reflection of the Holocaust(大屠杀). Although terror surrounds Liesel, a young German girl, so too does evidence of friendship, love and charity recovering lights in the darkness.A Wrinkle in TimeMadeleine LEngles super-realist adventure has provided generations of children with their first-ever exciting experiences, as Meg travels across the fifth dimension(维度) in search of her father. But the science fiction also has a message: Meg learns independence and bravery in the process.Charlottes Web Readers are still drawn to the simplicity and beauty of spider Charlottes devotion to her pig friend Wilbur. Though family farms may be less common than they were in 1952, E. B. Whites novel remains timeless for its lasting reflection on the power of friendship and of good writing.Holes Louis Sachars story of a family curse(诅咒), fancy sports shoes and poisonous lizards moves forward and backward through time, telling of how Stanley Yelnats IV ended up in a prison camp. Its an introduction to a complex story, filled with fun, warmth and a truly memorable criminal.MatildaWith apologies to the lovable Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this may be Roald Dahls most inspiring book for young people. Poor Matilda feels troubled and ignored by her family a sense that many preteens share. They dont share her supernatural powers, but thats the lasting appeal of this escapist fun.The OutsidersPublished when author S. E. Hinton was just 18, this coming-of-age novel offers evidence that even the youngest writer can provide valuable wisdom. Her striking look at Ponyboy and gang life in the 1960s has continued to have a powerful effect for decades on readers of all kinds, whether they identify more with the Greasers or the Socs.The Phantom TollboothIn a humorous, sharp fairy tale(童话故事) that shows language and mathematics through a story of adventure in the Kingdom of Wisdom, Jules Feiffers unusual drawings do as much as Norton Justers plain language combined with complex ideas to carry readers through Digitopolis and the Mountains of Ignorance.The GiverLois Lowrys tale of self-discovery in society has a memorable central character, Jonas, and an unforgettable message that pain and harm have an important place in individual lives and in society, and to forget them is to lose what makes us human.46.Which of the following shares the same theme with The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian?A. A Wrinkle in Time B. The Giver C. The Book Thief D. Harry Potter47. According to the passage, The Phantom Tollbooth _.A. contains a lot of fancy picturesB. talks only about maths problemsC. describes a journey in complex languageD. sets its background in the Kingdom of Freedom48. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. Charlotte fell in love with WilburB. Matilda was well cared for in her familyC. Stanley Yelnats IV got punishedD. S. E. Hinton was best at telling fairy tales49. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise for some booksellers.B. To introduce some famous writers.C. To admire some classics for kids and young adults.D. To recomme
