   Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!

   In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.

   Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”―a loose term given to everything from discarded(丟棄的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.

   Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍衛(wèi)) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.

   The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?

   In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.

64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.

   A. remind readers of found photographs             B. advise reader to start a new kind of business

   C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa        D. show readers the value of found photographs

65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _________.

   A. is fond of collecting family life photographs       B. found a complaining not under his car wiper

   C. is working for several self-published magazines    

   D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs

66. The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to __________.

   A. the readers              B. the editors          

C. the found photographs     D. the self-published magazines

67. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.

   A. memory of the past is very important to people

   B. found photographs allow people to think freely

   C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling

   D. the real value of found photographs is questionable

68. The author’s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.

   A. critical         B. doubtful           C. optimistic         D. satisfied

Car companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets,just like many laptops,digital cameras,cell phones and Mp4 do.Called“plug-in vehicles”,these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won't have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.
The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world,plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use,which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides,driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment.Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas,which causes globe warming.
The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2010. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.
Batteries(電池) are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world,Li-ion(鋰離子)batteries are getting the most attention.These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package,and they last a longer time between charges.Li-ion batteries can fit laptops,cell phones,heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.
But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving.What's more,the batteries are much expensive.
“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,”says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago.“But it couldn't pull any people.a(chǎn)nd it would cost $100,000.”
So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper,among other questions.
“The answers don't exist yet,”Bohn says,“As a kid,I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything.All of these questions haven't been decided.That's what engineering is about-making a guess,running tests and getting fine results.”
72.The passage mainly talks about        of a new car
A.the developing    B.the speed    C.the appearance D.the batteries
72.Which is true according to the passage?
A.The“plug-in vehicles”will use electricity completely as driving power.
B.The new technology will help protect our environment.
C.The technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical now.      
D.The biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy.
74.How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?
A.Confident    B.Puzzled.    C.Worried. D.Disappointed.
75.According to the passage,the new technology is facing the following problems except that .
A.the new technology cannot come into use at present
B.the cost of the new technology is quite high
C.the government won't support the technology
D. the size of the batteries is too big at present
