Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accidencount: It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way.

I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩).”I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he said. Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.” She was such a good cow!

One way is the greater production of common energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable. Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it. Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压; 抽) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the 'Times New Roman'" earth is already used in certain countries. 75. How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?A. Two B. ThreeC. Four D. Five. 76. From the text we learn that coal. A. is quite easy to produceB. is not used most efficientlyC. is the most common source of energyD. could be renewed only by new technology77. The writer tells about the “special houses” because theyA. show the excellent skills of the buildersB. serve as an example of energy conservationC. are heated by different sources of energyD. are warmer than other types of houses78. The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean. A. renewable source B. underground sourceC. heat inside the earth D. temperature of the earth79. Which of the following drawings shows the right way to get geothermal energy?80.At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig soas to get a temperature of 75℃?A. One km. B. Two km. C. Three km. D. Four km.
