California Gives Green Light to Space Solar Power
Energy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality, now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatt(兆瓦) of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016. But some major challenges will have to be overcome if the technology is to be used widely.
A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites which it says will use radio waves to beam energy down to a receiving station on Earth.
The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in geosynchronous ( 與地球同步的) orbit. Earth-based solar cells, by contrast, can only collect sun-light during daytime and when skies are clear.
But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服) with the high cost per kilogram of launching things into space, says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette,Indiana, "If you're talking 'about it being economically viable or power of the Earth,it's a tough go," he says.
Cal Boerman,Solaren's director of energy services, says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down. "We knew we had to come up with a different, revolutionary design,'he says.A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system's weight, including using inflatable mirrors to focus sunlight on solar cells,so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.
But using mirrors introduces other challenges including keeping the solar cells from overheating, says Schwartz. "You have to take care of heat dissipation(散發(fā)) because your're now concentrating a lot of energy in one place," he says. According to the company's patent Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool.
Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space based solar power work it is not expecting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy. Laws in California and other states require increasing use of renewable energy in coming years, he points out. "To meet those needs we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources," he says.

Rising College Selectivity
Rising college selectivity doesn't mean that students are smarter and more serious than in the past. It's a function of excess demand for higher education occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry.
The recession has only increased demand. The vast majority of students aren't going to college because of a thirst for knowledge They're there because they need a job, and they need to get the credentials and one hopes, the knowledge and skills behind the credentials-that will get them into the labor market.
As higher education has become a seller's market, the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions and their admissions requirements but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent.
The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we can't seriously expect to increase educational attainment if we're not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding.
That said, the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective. The problem is on the public policy side. The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment.
It's the right goal, we just need a financing strategy to get there.That doesn't mean just more money although some more money will be needed. It also means better attention to effectiveness and educational attainment. We know how to do it,if we want to.
The demand for higher education has increased because( )
A.the number of students keeps growing
B.there is a boost in the labor market
C.of the rising college selectivity
D.of the economic depression
12、 According to most students, what is the most essential condition that enables them to get into the labor market?( )
A.Diplomas.
B.Being employed.
C.Going to college.
D.Knowledge and skills.
13、 Since higher education has become a seller's market, the national goal to increase college attainment ( )
A.will be fulfilled in a short time
B.will be difficult to achieve
C.will draw more public concern
D.will demand more financial input
14、 As it is mentioned in the 4th paragraph, gaps have grown dramatically between. ( )
A.the students and the slow ones
B.the advanced countries and the others
C.the selective institutions and the rest
D.the rich families and the poor ones
15、 What does the author think should be modified?( )
A.The selectivity of elite institutions.
B.The industrialization of education.
C.The goal of education attainment.
D.The government's funding strategy. 第三部分：概括段落大意和補全句子
