Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modem society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment .One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4. 50 dollars)-ten times the price of a filament( 灯 丝 ) bulb-but he wanted to save energy as part of hislow-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuanhe was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price.Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative- whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2), emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a higlr-carton life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility"-a basis of sustainable development-can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31. What may probably be the best title of this passage? . A.To Purchase a Cheap Bulb-Your Wise AlternativeB. To Choose an Energy -saving Residence- a Must of Your LifeC. To Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle-a Promising but Difficult PurposeD. To Live a low-carbon Lifestyle-Each Citizen's Responsibility32. Why did the writers colleague get an energy-saving light bulb? .A. He wanted to save some moneyB. He wanted to try living his low-cabon lifestyleC. He was asked to do so by some organizationsD. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb 33.The underlined phrase "blew up", in paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to .A. improved a lotB. saved much energyC. got outdatedD. broke down 34.We can infer from the passage that .A. using energy -saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB. not all citizens have the same responsibility-live a low carbon lifestyleC. it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD. Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence 35.What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle? A. supportive but cautious B. optimistic and entertaining C. negative but wise D. Positive and activePassage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can be cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using B simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons( 人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are thegreatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear lo be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36. Drivers tend to feel that on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed 37.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former .A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive 38.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to .A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns 39.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? .A. They are falling out of use in the United StatesB. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC. They are applicable only on broad roadsD. They cannot be applied suecessfully to traffic circles 40.The passage mainly discusses .A. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a Community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may he famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated( 隔 离 的 )buses restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magenetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristics D. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people 42.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .A. they have warm feelings and emotionsB. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD. they have a vision from the mountaintop43. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because .A. their primary concern is their own financial interestsB. they are not clear about the principles they should followC. they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD. their performances do not improve their fans morally44. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .A. can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB. are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC. can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45. The author concludes that historical changes would .A. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD. produce leader with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class,
