6、 was when my wife asked me to have the sitting-room clock 57 (repair). I drove into the market place of our little town and, clock under arm, entered a shop. Only it was the meat shop. 58 my thoughts far away, I stood staring into the shop-keepers eyes. I 59(be) his customer for a long time and the

7、good man smiled at me.This went on for several very long seconds before I realized where I was. There is no doubt that I should have calmly bought a pound of meat, 60 I merely nodded briefly and left.The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Mr. Smith. Some years ago he was manager of

8、 Meads Shop, and he and I knew each other quite well. One day he 61(stand) in the doorway of his shop when I passed. My brain was on some distant problem and my eyes stared into space.“Hello, Mr. Herriot. I heard his voice. I turned a blank gaze on him- I just had no idea 62 he was though his face w

9、as familiar. Then I saw 63 word “MEAD” infoot-high letters above the shop window.“GOOD morning, Mead JT cried heartily and continued my way .1 had gone only a few steps before I realized that my greeting had been 64(polite). I turned back and said to him again, Good morning, Mister mead.”It was only

One of the most famous, New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art （the Met），saw a record 6. 5 million visitors in 2015. But record attendance doesnt necessarily translate into record revenue （U攵入）。L

12、ast month. the Met said it was trying to erase a US$ 10 million budget deficit （赤字）。Meanwhile, one of its rivals, the Museum of Modern Art （MoMA） , was abundant in cash, but only about three million people stopped by in 2015. Why do some museums flourish while others flounder? My research leads me t

13、o believe there are three reasons: fashion, billionaires and demographics.First, underlying the Mets financial challenges is the problem with the acquisitions policy. Recent directors of the Met did not add much to the museums modern collection. The argument was that museums such as the MoMA were al

14、ready providing such works in their collections and that the acquisition of contemporary art by living artists was problematic and risky. However, given the fact that museum-goers increasingly favor contemporary art, the revenue of the Met will likely fall if it isnt able to keep up with the tastes

15、of the customers. And by the time it might recognize this, its already too late to do much about it because the costs to acquire the in-demand art is sky-high. This leads to a second critical issue-the changing distribution of income and its effects on museum finance and operation.We are living in a

16、 boom period for contemporary art. The number of auctions （拍卖）and art fairs has grown enormously to accommodate this growing market. In a world with about 1,800 billionaires, it only takes a relative few to drive high-end art prices to astronomical levels. Works by the German artist Gerhard Richter

17、have generated $1. 2 billion in sales in recent years. The soaring prices mean museums simply cant keep up and must usually depend on donations to assemble the best works, or theyre priced out. Moreover, billionaires themselves are increasingly setting up their own private museums, further distancin

18、g the ability of public museums to get the good stuff.A third interrelated problem is that demographic issues have put pressure on the revenue side.Unemployment, early retirements and the aging of the population in the US have contributed to increased attendance at museums. You might think its a goo

19、d thing, but more traffic means higher costs, and when those additional visitors dont result in more revenue, profitability goes down. This is because of the longstanding movement toward making museums free by having individuals, government or businesses sponsor the cost. But when that support gets

20、reduced by budget costs or another reason, museums must either cover the cost themselves or lose patrons by suddenly charging fees. There is evidence that attendance rises when economic growth slows, but thats also when thosensponsorsn are more likely to begin to disappear.Museums will certainly con

21、tinue to exist and provide us with invaluable insights into our culture. But they must exist under economic principles, and itd be wise for their administrators to consider the economics in their calculations.【答案】1 -5 cccAC 6-20 BCBAC BAABA CABCA21-23 ABD 24-27 BCBA28-31 CDAA 32-35 DBCD36-40 CBFAG41

24、cular when she made dinner after a long, hard day at work.On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remembered waiting to see if anyone noticed. Yet all my dad did was toreach for his toast, smile at my mom and ask me how my

25、 day was at school. I didn*t remember what I told him that night, but I did remember watching him smear butter on that toast and eat every bite!When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I would never forget what he said, “Ba

26、by, I love burnt toast. ” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy goodnight and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, Son, your mom spent a hard day at work today andshes really tired. And besides, a little burnt toast never hurts anyone!You know, life i

30、lp people stay in good heath.D. Accepting faults and differences is important for an impressive relationship.BEmissions Trading Systems - carbon pricing policy instruments for carbon emissions reduction-have become very popular in recent years. Under a typical ETS, a central authority allocates emis

31、sions permits to enterprises and requires them to submit permits equal to their emissions for compliance at the end of a compliance cycle. Enterprises that are short of permits can purchase them from the permit market, creating a carbon price signal that is crucial to reducing emissions cost-effecti

32、vely.Unlike a typical ETS in the developed countries that imposes a hard emissions cap, the main feature of Chinas national ETS is its permit allocation rules that guarantee carbon policy stringency without introducing strong adverse shocks to economic growth. China*s national ETS is so far a rate-b

33、ased system-the permit allocation in each sector is based on the companies* actual output levels and a corresponding benchmark” (emissions-output ratio) that matches an appropriate emissions intensity reduction target in that sector. For example, if a plants emissions intensity exceeds its predeterm

34、ined benchmark, it will face an allowance deficit and need to buy permits for compliance. Conversely, a plant with relatively low emissions intensity can sell surplus permits.Chinas national ETS has been in operation for a year now. It has made progress on multiple fronts.First, the institutional fr

35、amework has been formed. The National Measures for the Administration of Carbon Emission Trading (Trial), released in December 2020, has provided a regulatory basis. It has been supplemented by additional technical documents for permit registration, trading, settlement, permit allocation, and emissi

36、ons reporting for the power generation sector. All these directives have gradually formed a nl+N emissions trading policy system.Second, infrastructure for the system has been established. The National Carbon Emissions Permits Registry in Wuhan (responsible for recording permit holdings, modificatio

37、ns, payments, and retirements) and the National Carbon Emissions Exchange in Shanghai (serving as a permit exchange) have been operating smoothly.Lastly, for the monitoring, reporting, and verification of emissions, enterprises have been encouraged to take “on-site measurements of their coal consump

38、tion, significantly improving the integrity of Chinas carbon emissions data.Although there have been important milestones for Chinas national ETS in its first year, several challenges were also encountered. There is still no official roadmap for future sectoral coverage. Trading was very much concen

39、trated just ahead of the compliance date, which reveals a less active market which limits price discovery. Risk control regarding data quality still needs to be improved, given that some data manipulation cases were detected.A medium- and long-term development roadmap is very much needed for China*s

40、 ETS. Higher-level legislative support to strengthen market supervision and penalties for non-compliance are also necessary. With regard to the permit allocation, China*s national ETS needs to continuously tighten the benchmarks under a rate-based design and carefully plan a transition to a mass-bas

41、ed system to introduce a clear cap for covered emissions. Moreover, auctioning needs to be introduced to reduce free permit allocation and facilitate price discovery. In the next few years, Chinas national ETS is expected to expand from the power sector to multiple industries and eventually to cover

42、 more than 8,000 companies, whose emissions account for 70 percent of China*s energy-related emissions. We are confident that a full-fledged national ETS can help China achieve its dual-carbon goals and lead the development of a global carbon pricing regime in the near future. 24. Which of the follo

43、wing statements best describes ETS?A. A market providing stage for emissions permits trade.B. An approach encouraging alleviation of carbon emissions.C. An implement marking the innovation of Chinas ecological administration.D. A system confining industries5 carbon emissions.25. Which of the followi

44、ng statements is TRUE according to the article?A. The ETS was first raised by China all around the world.B. Industries cannot release carbon exceeding the allocated permits under the ETS.C. In China the ETS is only adopted within the power sector for now.D. The permit allocation for each company dep

It shows great resilience before economic shocks.C. It complies with the market principles.D. It may bring more incomes to the c

47、main under-utilized. Who will benefit if working from home becomes the norm?Employers argue they make considerable savings on real estate when workers shift from office to home work. However, these savings result from passing costs on to workers.Unless employees are fully compensated, this could bec

48、ome a variant of parasitic（变异的）capitalism, whereby corporate profits increasingly rely on extracting value from the public- and now personal- realm, rather than on generating new value.Though employers are backed by a chorus of remote work advocates, others note the loneliness, reduced productivity

49、and inefficiencies of extended remote work.If working from home becomes permanent, employees will have to dedicate part of their private space to work. This requires purchasing desks, chairs and office equipment.It also means having private space dedicated to work: the space must be heated, cleaned, maintained and paid for. That
