Ireland

’

s Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination. However, since April, the small

island of just 2,600 residents

（居民）

has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was

washed away over three decades ago.

The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the five settlements on the island, awoke

to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms. There were only

rocks

and

rock

pools

left.

For

34

years,

only

small

amounts

of

sand

returned

to

the

once

unspoiled

shores.

the

area

’

s tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed

as well.

The,

around

Easter

last

year,

something

magical

happened

—

an

unusual

ten-day

tide

blanketed

the

barren

300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists suspect that the sand had been

gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.

The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to

witness

the

power

of

nature,

with

their

own

eyes.

However,

Sean

Molloy,

manager

of

Achill

Tourism,

cautions

against going into the cold waters just yet, saying,

“

Because of the sand coming in, we don

’

t know how safe the

beach is now because currents

（洋流）

could be changed and it

’

ll take a little bit of time.

”

He instead recommends

visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.

Interestingly,

this

is

not

the

first

time

Dooagh

Beach

has

pulled

a

disappearing

and

reappearing

act.

It

disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927. However, the locals are optimistic that this

time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.

in Paragraph 3 probably mean

C

I dropped out of college after my freshman year. Three years later, I quit a dead- end job and returned college. I

saw school as my way out.

@

C. Playing with dolphins.

But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused with

college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career

direction.

I

was

ready

to

drop

out

again.

Then

a

smartly-dressed

woman

walked

confidently

to

the

front

of

my

English composition class.

“

Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,

”

she said.

“

You

’

re here to change your

lives for the better. And you

’

re going to make it!

”

I can

’

t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course

of my college career, and my life.

Mrs. Smith didn

’

t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she speaking directly to

me. Having trouble keeping up with the workload Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits

you. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math. As for English composition, she gave

us writing assignments we could relate to.

“

Go for the best, kid. You

’

re worth it,

”

she

’

d say.

I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor

’

s degrees. Today, as a college instructor, each fall

when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs. Smith and how much teachers can affect their students. She

couldn

’

t have known it when she gave that pep talk, but she made a huge difference in my life.

Flat

Holm

is

picturesque

landmass

located

in

Britain

’

s

Bristol

Channel.

The

area

’

s

low

energy

needs

have

therefore been fulfilled using old-fashioned solar panels

（板）

and a diesel generator

（柴油发电机）

. The beautiful

island is now, however, becoming increasingly popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view

the island

’

s seabird colonies.

Though this is welcome news, meting the island

’

s growing energy needs without damaging its environment

has

a

challenge.

Flat

Holm

team

leader

Natalie

Taylor

says,

“

It

’

s

really

important

that

we

have

a

really

high

functioning system. From an environmental point of view, we want to reduce the use of diesel generators so that

we can have as small an ecological footprint as possible.

”

[

Fortunately, UK-based startup Renovagen had the perfect solution. The company

’

s Rapid Roll Solar PV system

consists of flexible solar panels that can be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer

（拖车）

and instantly put to work.

According to the company, a small panel can provide 11kw of power within two minutes.

The technology is the brainchild of Renovagen

’

s Managing Director John Hingley, who came up with the idea

after seeing something used as a backup battery for mobile devices about five years ago. In addition to being easy

to unfold, the rollable panels are also more cost-effective to transport. Hingley says,

“

Compared with traditional

rigid panels, we can fit up to 10 times the power in this size container.

”

The solar panel

“

carpets,

”

laid on the island in early October, are being used to provide electricity to its pub

and

lighthouse.

In

addition

to

providing

power

to

remote

islands

like

Flat

Holm,

Hingley

hopes

the

Rapid

Roll

technology will be useful in areas affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where most people

have been without electricity since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power lines.

32. What leads to Flat Holm

’

s increasing energy needs

A. Its growing number of tourists.

C. The damage to its environment.

B. Its remote location.

D. The power system failure.

33. Where does the difficulty lie to increase energy supply to Flat Holm

A. Reusing diesel generators.

C. Abandoning old solar panels.

B. Protecting its environment.

D. Reducing transport cost.

34. How do the new solar panels differ from the old ones

]

A. They cost less.

B. They are smaller.

D. They are hard to operate.

C. They are portable.

35. What gave Hingley inspiration of the Rapid Roll technology

A. A natural disaster.

B. A similar invention.

D. Traditional rigid panels.

C. His life on the island.
