Coal remains a critical component of the world’s energy supply despite its image as a polluter. As an enemy of environmentalists, it creates so much pollution. In this case, coal still has the undeniable advantages of being widely available and easy to ship and burn. The biggest attraction is low cost, however. By many estimates, burning coal still costs about one-third as much as using renewable energy like wind or solar power. As a result, global demand for coal is expected to reach 8.9 billion metric tons by 2016. In addition to strong demand for thermal coal, which is burned in power plants, use of metallurgical coal or coking coal is also expected to double. For now, coal seems to be avoiding a serious potential impediment to its use: international treaties restricting greenhouse gas emissions. So far, such agreements to prevent climate change have been ineffective. In the long term, coal’s future depends on China and India, which rely heavily on coal for their electric power, and its prospects look bright mainly because it is cheaper than its competitors. 41. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A)The demand for coal. (B)The greenhouse effect.
(C)The use of wind energy. (D)The climate change.
42. In line 2, what does the word “it” refer to?
(A)Pollution. (B)Enemy. (C)Coal. (D)Estimate.
43. According to the passage, why does coal’s future rely on China and India? (A)The two countries have not found relatively clean energy sources yet. (B)The two countries depend heavily upon coal to generate power. (C)Coal industry attracts a lot of attention in the two countries. (D)Coal is bright and readily available in the two countries.
44. In the passage, the word “impediment” is closest in meaning to .
(A)advantage (B)benefit (C)convenience (D)obstacle
45. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of coal according to the passage?

In Chinese mythology, snakes are often associated with monsters. Some experts on Taoist customs and beliefs suggest that people put on some decorations with snake designs. Others recommend that people should buy orchids, tulips, and other yellow-colored
flowers. These are helpful ways to begin 2013, the Year of the Snake, to attract some good luck.
For some people, snakes have long been scary. One reason may be that unlike most other animals, they have no legs. Another is that some species are deadly poisonous. The other reason may be that they are silent creatures and can often attack without any warning. When people see snakes, they often scream, hoping to frighten them away. In fact, they are just wasting their time. Snakes cannot hear screams because they have no ears. Their
eyesight is generally weak, too. However, they have a good sense of smell and can feel even the smallest vibrations made by walking animals. Some snakes can also detect heat so that they can hunt at night for small animals like mice and rabbits. Though they have no arms or legs, they can swallow their prey, alive and whole. Every animal has its strengths and weaknesses, and snakes are no exception.
The best way to protect oneself against the bite of a poisonous snake begins long before seeing one. Before going hiking or picnicking, be sure to wear heavy shoes or boots. Avoid walking through high grass or over fallen trees. Stay on the hiking paths or in open fields. Whatever you do, don’t bother to scream.
46. What is the passage mainly about?
(A)How to treat snakebites. (B)A general introduction to snakes.
(C)The eating habits of snakes. (D)Where to find snakes.
47. According to the passage, which of the following is mentioned as a symbol of good luck?
(A)Keeping snakes as pets. (B)Shoes or boots.
(C)Decorations with snake designs. (D)Fallen trees.
48. Which of the following reasons is NOT given in the passage to explain why people are scared of snakes?
(A)Their poisonous bites. (B)Their open and bright eyes. (C)Their lack of arms and legs.
(D)Their ability to attack people without warning.
49. The word “prey” in the second paragraph refers to .
(A)screams (B)small vibrations (C)silent creatures (D)hunted animals
50. Which of the following is NOT a way to avoid snakebites?
(A)Stay in open fields. (B)Avoid grassy areas.

45. 根據本文，下列何者並不是煤的優點？ (A)形象。 (B)價格。 (C)運送。 (D)可取得性。 在中國神話中，蛇常和猛獸聯想在一起。一些道教習俗和信仰的專家建議人們穿 戴一些有蛇造型設計的裝飾品。還有人建議人們要買蘭花、鬱金香以及其他黃色的花 朵。這些都是在 2013 蛇年開始，能招來好運的有效方法。 對一些人來說，蛇一直是很恐怖的動物。其中一個原因可能是因為蛇不像大多數 其他動物，牠們沒有腳。另一個原因是因為有一些種類的蛇擁有劇毒。還有，蛇是安 靜的生物，牠們通常會做出毫無預警的攻擊。人們看到蛇的時候，通常都會尖叫，希 望把蛇嚇跑。事實上，這完全沒效。蛇無法聽到尖叫聲，因為牠們沒有耳朵。牠們的 視力通常也很糟糕。但是，蛇的嗅覺很敏銳，可以感受到其他行進中的動物最細微的 震動。有些蛇也能偵測到熱能，這樣牠們才可以在夜晚捕捉小型動物，比方說老鼠跟 兔子。雖然蛇沒有手臂跟腿，牠們仍可以活生生地吞下整個獵物。每一種動物都有強 處跟弱點，蛇當然也不例外。 防止自己被毒蛇咬傷的最佳辦法，就是提早做準備，而不是在看到蛇的時候，才 臨時反應。在健行或野餐之前，確保穿著厚重的鞋子或靴子。避免行走穿梭在高的草 叢，或者倒下的樹叢間。待在健行步道或是空曠的區域。 46. 這篇文章的主旨是什麼？ (A)如何處理蛇咬傷。 (B)對蛇的一般介紹。 (C)蛇的飲食習慣。 (D)何處可以找到蛇。 47. 根據本文，下列何者被提及是好運的象徵？ (A)養蛇當寵物。 (B)鞋子或靴子。 (C)有蛇紋設計的裝飾品。 (D)倒下的樹木。 48. 下列哪一個原因並沒有在文章中被提出來解釋為什麼人們怕蛇？ (A)牠們的咬傷有毒。 (B)牠們寬廣和清晰的視力。 (C)牠們沒有手臂跟腿。 (D)牠們毫無預警的攻擊能力。 49. 第二段中的“prey”是指 。 (A)尖叫聲 (B)小震動 (C)安靜的生物 (D)獵物 50. 下列何者不是避免被蛇咬傷的方法？ (A)待在空曠的地區。 (B)避免長滿草的區域。 (C)穿著厚重的靴子。 (D)對蛇尖叫。
