文章大意：文章主要介绍中国在开采可燃冰（fire ice; or methane hydrates ）技术上的突破以及为什么不能大量开采可燃冰。文章出处为China Daily 2017年5月25号的报道，标题为First step towards using for ice as new energy

On May 18, the Ministry of Land and Resources announced that it had achieved success in drilling fire ice, or methane hydrate, from the seabed in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea. Methane hydrate is akin to methane gas trapped in ice-like crystals; it produces high amount energy when burned and its chemical reaction produces nothing but dioxide and water.

Since methane hydrate is both clean and energy-intensive and is considered the fuel of the future, many media outlets used big, bold headlines, such as "China makes technological breakthrough" and "New energy source found for China" to report the find.

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say China has indeed achieved a great technological breakthrough in the field.

Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been conducting research on methane hydrate, but extracting it from the bottom of the sea has been a common problem plaguing all of them. But, according to reports, the Chinese team succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for nearly eight successive days, with the average daily extraction exceeding 16,000 cubic meters, which is a big breakthrough.

However, it is too early to say a new energy source has been found. The world's total methane hydrate reserve is estimated to be about 21,000 trillion cubic meters, which if extracted could meet the world's energy need for 1,000 years. But the successful test drilling of methane hydrate does not mean it can be extracted for industrial use.

To extract enough methane hydrate for everyday use, the drilling technology must be successfully transferred from the laboratory to the industry. And for that, the two main challenges －environmental risk and economic cost－have to be overcome.

Methane hydrate is formed under high pressure and low temperature at the bottom of the sea, and it decomposes into methane and water when extracted from the seabed. That's disastrous for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases. If methane is released in large volumes into the atmosphere, it will cause temperatures to rise further and intensify climate change.

Besides, the process to extract methane hydrate is very expensive as it involves highly advanced equipment and massive manpower. Considering that 1 cubic meter of methane hydrate provides the same amount energy that 164 cubic meters of natural gas does, the cost of using methane hydrate as an energy source is way too high.

Therefore, China has to solve many problems before it can use methane hydrate as a source of energy. But it can be said that China has taken the first big step toward solving those problems.

China's technological breakthrough is important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy. With China achieving initial success in the field, researchers worldwide are expected to pay more attention to the subject, and if they make concerted efforts to find ways to extract methane hydrate without causing environmental damage, it can be used as energy earlier than thought.

Besides, at present studies on methane hydrate exploitation are sponsored mainly by states and the researchers hardly work with each other. With China taking lead in the field, hopefully international cooperation in research will become a possibility.

42. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Fire ice has been widely used.

B. Many countries have drilled fire ice.

C. China has succeeded in drilling fire ice.

D. It’s difficult to drill from the seabed.

【解析】C

主旨题：考察学生对文章段落的理解和把握，第一段主要说的是开采可燃冰技术取得成功。所以选C。

43. What are the two main challenges the countries face in drilling fire ice?

A. 干扰项

B. 干扰项

C. 干扰项

D. Environmental risk and economic cost.

【解析】D

细节题：关键词是the two main challenges.对应原文第六段最后一句话可知，答案为D。

44. According to the passage, why fire ice shouldn’t be the real start of the energy source?

A. It’s difficult to drill and It’s good for the environment.

B. It’s difficult to transform fire ice into energy.

C. 干扰项

D. It’s expensive to drill and it’s harmful to the environment.

【解析】D

细节题：通过文章提到的environmental risk和economic cost 后面的详细叙述可知，开采可燃冰对环境是存在危害的，且开采费用昂贵，所以答案应为D.

45. The passage probably comes from .

A. Storybook

B. Newspaper

C. travel guide

D. Advertisement

【解析】B

推测题：通过阅读全文可知，这是一篇科学技术报道，出现在报纸上的可能性相对更大，这篇文章出自China Daily 2017年5月25日的报道，所以，答案选B.

How time flies! It’s time for us to say goodbye.

I still remembered that I had some difficulties in English speaking and listening. It was you who helped me out of my trouble. You gave me some suggestions on improving my English speaking and listening. Firstly, you suggested that I should read more English books and listen to more English materials. Secondly, you said that watching English movies and singing English songs are good for me. Through movies, I know a lot about western culture, which is useful for me to learn English better. What’s more, you have spent lot of time practicing oral English with me.

Thanks for your help, I made great progress and got a high score in my speaking and listening test. Best wishes for you and keep in touch!

Yours sincerely, Li Hua
