16、uter knowledge.D.

The official Xinhua news agency says the countrys

17、top legislature must approve the proposal before it becomes law.A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development. It said the move also attempts to stop a declining birth rate and strengthe

18、n the countrys work force.China, the worlds most populous country, launched the one-child policy in 1980. But the government permitted only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some rural families were given approval to have two children. A total of 19 rural provinces have a

19、partial two-child policy. That policy states if the first-born is a girl, a second child is permitted.In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one parent was an only child.A teacher and population expert, Jiang Quanbao, explained ho

20、w Chinese families will react to the policy. “Too many young people in the cities are probably no longer interested in having a second child,”he said. “People in rural farming villages may be more interested. But again, some of them are already allowed to have two children.”At the end of 2014, China

21、 had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them are employed. But that job market population is expected to drop by 2050.

24、ressure.27. The writer writes this passage _.A. To educate.B. To inform. C. To advertise.D. To analyze.CWhen computer servers operate a complex program, they can get very hot. Cooling the servers can be costly. So researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captur

25、ed and used?Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computer servers. As these servers process information, they create large amounts of heat, so they need huge cooling systems, which send the heat into the air.The Dutch company Nerdalize thinks paying

26、 for electricity to operate the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energy. So it developed a device called the e-Radiator, a computer server that also works as a heating source.Boaz Leupe, the chief executive officer of Nerdalize, says the e-Radiator saves money because compani

27、es dont have to pay to cool their servers. “The kilowatt hour you are using is used twice once to heat the home and once to compute the clients task without the cooling expenses.”At present five homeowners in the Netherlands are testing the heating device in their homes.“We compensate the electricit

28、y the server uses, and that we can do because of the computer clients on the other side, and, in that way, homeowners actually get heating for free, and computer users dont have to pay for the expenses of the data center.”Jan Visser is one of the participants in the year-long experiment. He notices

29、that the amount of heat produced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the computer server. He reveals it cannot be used as the primary source of heat. But he is ready to try it. “If it provides enough warmth, I will be able to use my homes heating system less, which will save me money

30、.” he added.Nerdalize says e-Radiators create heat temperatures of up to 55 degrees Celsius. Its also said that the devices could save users up to $440 in heating costs a year.28. What can we learn from this passage?A. E-Radiator can save homeowners a big sum of money in cooling the computers.B. Goo

31、gle and Nerdalize developed the heating device, e-Radiator. C. E-Radiator has been put into use in the Netherlands.D. The heating device will benefit computer users as well as homeowners.29. According to the passage, whats Jan Vissers attitude towards e-Radiator?A. Cautious.B. Positive. C. Satisfied

32、.D. Doubtful.30. Where can we most probably read the passage?A. In an economic report.B. In a science magazine.C. In an education newspaper.D. In a computer guide book.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Money-saving heating device.B. E-Radiator, the primary source of

33、 heat.C. Hot computers could be used to heat home.D. Nerdalize developed e-Radiator, a heating system.DThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the worlds wildlife population has been lost, which the conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently rel

34、eased its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the worlds animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earths environment. The report provides information about more than 10,

35、000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 per

36、cent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop in Latin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWFs International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is about converting forests, grasslands, and we

37、tlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the worlds “Ecological Footprint”, t

38、hat is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equi

39、valent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2 than the natural systems c

40、an actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.32.
