黄冈市2014高考英语一轮（精品）阅读理解训练题（10）附解析 When an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble. One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan，“We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.” I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.

An experiment under way off the coast of Norway，however，could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind，is the world's first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机)．Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine，Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture)，a technology Hywind's creator，the Norwegian company StatoilHydro，has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves.Hywind's stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest ... ...
