The highest peak of Ali Mountain is Tower Hill with the height of 2,663 meters (about 8,736 feet). Ali Mountain is world famous for its “five rare sites” including the Sunrise, the Ali Mountain Forest Railway, the famous Alishan Sacred Tree, the Grand Sea of Clouds, and the Flamboyant Cherry Blossom. It is said that one who has not been to Ali Mountain will never know its wonderful beauty. The sunrise is a must for everyone who travels the Ali Mountain. Many have said, “To miss viewing the sunrise on Ali Mountain is like returning empty after entering the Golconda, a source of great wealth.” The best place to view the sunrise is on the top of Zhu Hill. The place and time of the sunrise are different due to the changes of the four seasons. If you plan to view the sunrise, it is best to ask the local people the time of sunrise, so you don’ t miss this magnificent opportunity. The Ali Mountain Forest Railway is regarded as one of three mountain climbing railways. Traveling along the 72kilometerlong railway, the train climbs from 30 meters (about 98 feet) to 2,450 meters (about 8,038 feet) above sea level. Its gradient(坡度) is so great that it is rarely seen in the whole world. From the bottom of Ali Mountain to the top, the train crosses four forest areas— tropical, subtropical, temperate and frigid zones. There is a Chinese juniper (杜松 ) within the Ali Mountain forest area, with some 53 meters (about 174 feet) high, and 23 meters (about 75 feet) wide. This juniper is so huge that more than ten people can surround it. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus is called Alishan Sacred Tree. The most wondrous tree is a “three generation” tree. The three generations of this tree exist in the same trunk. While the first and second generations have faded, the third generation is still flourishing. This tree is really a wonder of nature. The sea of clouds and the cherry blossom should not be overlooked. If you want to avoid sunstroke, the fortable climate in midsummer on Ali Mountain will be a good choice. 51. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Location of Ali Mountain. B. Five rare sites of Ali Mountain. C. Hills of Ali Mountain. D. An introduction to Ali Mountain. 52. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Growing well. B. Surrounding. C. Disappearing. D. Dying. 53. What’s the best time to appreciate the sea of clouds and the cherry blossom? A. April. B. February. C. August. D. December. 54. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The place and time of the sunrise are the same despite the changes of the four seasons. B. The best place to view the sunrise is on the top of Tower Hill. C. The highest peak of Ali Mountain is Tower Hill with the height of 2,450 meters. D. The juniper has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus it is called Alishan Sacred Tree. B Mobile phone users will be able to charge their devices wirelessly for the first time from 2021. Fujitsu, the Japanese technology pany, has created a system capable of charging quite a few portable electronic devices in the meanwhile, such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop puters without the need for cable connections. Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu, which presented a system at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers Conference at Osaka Prefecture University. Claiming to be the world’s first of its kind, the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magic fields between the charger and the electronic device. The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several metres, with the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock. Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to mercially sell products including the new wireless charging system as early as 2021 but did not make it clear how much they would cost. “This technology makes it possible to add pact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling several portable devices to be charged at the same time without any restrictions(限制) on their position in association with the charger,” the pany said in a statement. The growing popularity of portable electronic devices ranging from iPads to ereaders is expected to fuel a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the ing decade. Mobile phone users in Japan can currently fill up their batteries using disposable(一次性的) portable plugin batteryoperated devices available at most train stations and convenience stores although phone panies warn any use for too long can damage the phones. The new system displayed by Fujitsu, however, is significantly advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using highly tuned wireless technology. The pany added, “We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards or puter chips, and providing mobile chargi
