Shania Twains opinion on music.DWhen temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat comes from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a company called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement onU.S.roads.According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nations asphalt (瀝青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesnt produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.TheU.S.government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (經受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned abouttheir project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the worlds ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻礙) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.32. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _.A. is too heavy to carryB. has a high temperatureC. is powered by an engineD. is environmentally-friendly33. Whats theU.S.governments attitude towards the Brusaws plan now?A. Worried. B. Doubtful.C. Interested. D. Supportive.34. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Advantages of sunlightB. Power from the streetsC. Better choice for your feetD.
