Since moving to Buffalo she s become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it s very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama.

15、 Since hockey games don t air very much on television I ve had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping。 that one of the television stations is a nort

16、hern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don t work. Either the site doesn1 t really give you what they advertise or their video player doesn t work properly. But finally I ve found one websites that actually works.Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television o

17、nline for free. You don t have to download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching.The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainme

18、nt, music and sports. You re not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch the latest episode of Heroes or Grey s Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventur

19、e, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers （預(yù)告片）. Maxx Trailers airs notching but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies t

20、hat have already been released but already released movies don t go back farther than a couple of months.So far I haven t had any problems with Free Tube s video player either. Whenever I choose a channel the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Fre

21、e Tube is that there is currently a glitch if you re using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can t select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you re using Firefox the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choosing what chan

22、nel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to gret it fixed right away.If you re missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey f s Anatomy or Heroes this isn t really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you

23、 weren t aware of; there are several good stations to be found.The author mainly in this passage.tells us his experience in using the Wroduces Free Tube to the readersshows us the disadvantages of Free Tubeshows us how to enjoy films onlineThe author got interested in watching hockey gamesA. because

24、 he is a sports fan B. due to his sister s influenceC. since everyone enjoys the games D. because he has nothing to do all day longForm the passage we can learn that the author is also very fond of moviesMaxx Trailers airs to-be-released moviesABC is a very famous TV station in AmericaFirefox is the

25、 only software used to watch films onlineThe underlined word “glitch probably means A. coverB. changeC. noteD. faultBNuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided- s

26、ome countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic

27、 energy. In fact, almost 80% of France * s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it ucontinues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the

28、 environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn t create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain* s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that

29、the world doesn t have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using ugreen energyM is usually

30、passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn t safe. For

31、 a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread a

32、ll over Europe, affecting thousands.The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn t look like it 11 be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently said, it s been a bad year for the nuclear village1 , but I don t think they re down and out yet. The battle continues.Which of th

33、e following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over other energy sourcesNuclear energy doesn t produce any greenhouse gases.B Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.Nuclear energy is more environmenta1-friend1y than other green energy sources.Nuclear energy can save the consumers

34、 some money, compared to other renewable energies.In the 5 paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to .convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.persuade the world not

35、 to use nuclear energy.support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.We can learn from the last paragraph that .the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy.the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.a battle will break out in the future.Japan is considering to build

36、 a nuclear village in the future.What is the authors purpose of writing the passageTo highlight the danger of using nuclear energy.To introduce some serious nuclear disasters.To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters.To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely.cSwim

46、in in the birthday parties.All of these birthday parties center on a special theme.DPollution is reducing the fragrance of plants and thus preventing bees from pollinating（授粉）them-endangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, a new study suggests.The potentially hugely significant research

47、, funded by US National Science Foundation, has found that gases mainly formed from the emissions of car exhaust prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects * abilities to drive away enemies and attract m

48、ates may also be disturbed.Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said, u Scent molecules （分 子）produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could travel for roughly 1, 000 to 1, 200 meters. But today they may travel only 200 to 300 meters. This makes it increasingly difficult for bees and

49、other insects to locate the flowers.The researchers, who worked on the molecules of snapdragons （金魚 草），found that the molecules are volatile （易揮發(fā)的）and quickly bond with pollutants, mainly formed from vehicle emissions. This chemically changes the molecules so that they no longer smell like flowers.

50、A harmful cycle is therefore set up where insects struggle to get enough food and the plants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.Already bees, which pollinate most of the world s crops, re in such a great decline that has never been known before in Britain and across much of the globe. At least

51、 a quarter of Americaf s million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by colony collapse disorder（CCD）, where hives are found suddenly deserted.The crists has now spread to Europe. Politicians insist that CCD has not yet been found in Britain, but considering the present number of bee

52、s, the agriculture minister Lord Rooker has sent the warning, “The honey bee population could be wiped out in 10 years. ”Although the researchers are not certain whether this is the real cause of CCD, they say that pollution is making life more difficult for bees and other insects in many ways.In wh

53、at way does pollution prevent flowers from attracting beesBy shortening the distance traveled by the scent molecules of flowers.By disturbing the bees ability to attract mates.By weakening the bees ability to fight against enemies.By stopping flowers from giving off fragrance.What harm does the decr

54、easing number of bees do to human beingsIt will cause humans not to get enough honey.It will reduce the food supplies for the world.Humans will have to depend on other insects to pollinate plants.Humans will find it hard to deal with the deserted bee hives.From the passage we can know that.Europe is

56、ame for CCDPollution Makes Flowers Lose Their ScentPollution Causes the Decrease in FlowersYears ago, I worked for a trucking company as a driver. It was my habit to go to company on Saturday and spend a couple hours maintaining my truck. As I was under the truck, I noticed the ownerf s elderly fath

57、er making his way over to his grandsonf s truck next to mine.The old man asked the kid to take him fishing. But the grandson told him all about how much he d love to, but he couldn t due to the prior promises. The old man then walked away. Some minutes later, the father came out and asked his son wh

58、at the old man had wanted. After telling the story, the kid ended it with saying, m not taking that old man fishing. It s worse than taking a kid. ”That just broke my heart.I quit working immediately and headed home. I loaded up something like a lawn chair, a pole , and headed back to the yard. On t

59、he way I bought a big bobber （浮子）and some worms. When I got there, I knocked on the door and invited him fishing. If I was like taking a kid fishing, I had determined to take him where I d take a kid.When we got there I put him in the lawn chair beside the water, baited and cast the line, and handed

60、 him the pole. Soon that big old bobber started to dance; he set the hook, drew the fish in skillfully. And handed the pole to me. I unhooked the fish, re-baited and cast, and again handed it to him. This went on for about half an hour at which point he informedme he was tired and needed to go home.
