       "Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in thewater and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh．"There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said．Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity．Most waves are created whenwinds blow across the ocean．"The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪) , but if theykeep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said．" Wavesare one of nature 's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.       When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send itthrough a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机) ．The turbine can then power an electricalgenerator to produce electricity .       "The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World watch Institute．"We will never run out of wave power．" Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal．Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface - that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome．       Swain said that wave power still costs too much money．She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown．What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic.       Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out．" Demand for energy topower our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said．In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could beproviding the electricity!64．The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _______.       A．test the readers' knowledge about waves       B．draw the readers' attention to the topic       C．show Jamie Taylor's importance       D．invite the readers to answer them65．The underlined phrase "picking up" (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _______.       A．starting again       B．speeding up         C．gathering             D．improving66．We can make better use of wave energy if we _______.       A．shorten its journey to thousands of homes       B．build more small power stations on the oceans       C．reduce the cost of turning it into electric power       D．quicken the steps of producing electricity67．It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ________.       A．air pollution                                         B．our boat traffic            C．our power supply                                D．our supply of sea fish   答案：64.B   解析：在文章的开头作者用了两个问题，目的是为了引起读者的兴趣，引起读者对者个题目的关注。65.C   解析：从then sending it off on a journey可以看出，要先聚集能量，然后才能让它继续行程。66.C   解析：从文章中的Wave power still costs too much money，我们可以知道这是wave power的缺点之一，故正确答案为C。67.C   解析：从文章中的We will never run out of wave power可以知道：只要能够利用好wave power，我们今后就不必要为能源而担忧的。
