35、r in southern Spain can work even on cloudy days: energy stored when the sun shines lets it produce electricity even during the night.It is the first solar power station in the world that works 24 hours a day! This is how it works: the panels reflect the suns rays onto the tower, transmitting energy
36、 1,000 times stronger than that of the suns rays reaching the earth. Energy is stored in tanks, and then steam is produced before finally turned into electricity.It is the stations capacity to store plenty of energy that makes Gemasolar so different because it allows the plant to transmit power duri

38、ed too: Torresol Energy is a joint enterprise between the Spanish engineering group Sener, which holds 60 percent, and Abu Dhabi-financed renewable energy firm Masdar.This type of station is expensive, not because of the raw material we use, which is free solar energy, but because of the enormous in
39、vestment these plants require. The investment cost is over 200 million euros ($ 260 million). But the day when the business has repaid that money to the banks comes (maybe, in 18 years, someone estimates), this station will become a 1,000-euro note printing machine!For now, the economic crisis has n

To infer means to understand facts which are not directly stated only suggested. Inference is one of the commonest ways of knowing th
44、ings: a child holds his knee and cries; this action implies his feeling; an observer infers that the child is hurt. To infer accurately in everyday life requires caution in observing; to infer skillfully in fiction requires caution in reading; both require disciplined imagination.The short-story rea
45、der can expect to find certain basic elements in any story. For example, all stories involve a person or persons, in a particular setting, faced with a demand for a response. The response called for may be a physical action, such as defeating an adversary (对手) or escaping from a danger; or it may be
46、 a mental action, such as adjusting to others or within oneself. In either case, the short story is a description in two ways: first, it shows the motives for a given, human action; second, it makes a point about the general human situation. Such descriptions, however, rather than being stated direc
47、tly, usually are implied by the elements of the story.When the reader of a story understands all the facts and their interrelationships, he is ready to infer the significance of the story as a whole its comment on the human situation.

In addition to action, character, and setting, these elements include structure, mood, tone, and point of view.Fiction reading requires an awareness of all the ways
49、 in which a story communicates. It also requires attention to detail. What the author provides is a network of points which serve as clues to his meaning. He invites the reader to develop the meaning by inference, actually to create much of the story himself and so make it part of his own experience.47. According to the author, “infer“ means _.A. looking for more evidences for the statementB. knowing facts bey
