         A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy
    which has a smallest output of greenhouse gas (GHG) release into the atmosphere, but specifically
    refers to the greenhouse gas CO2. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the
    conclusion that there is such an accumulation of GHG (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to
    human-related activities that the climate is changing. The over-concentration of these gases is producing
    global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable
    future. Globally performed LCEs therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate
    change, and as a forerunner to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.  
        Some nations are low-carbon societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated. In order to
    avoid climate change at any point in the future, all nations considered carbon-thick societies and societies
     which are heavily populated, should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these
    countries have promised to become 'low carbon' but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that release will
    be cut by 100% by offsetting  release rather than stopping all release. In other words, some release will
    continue which will be offset, so they are not low-release.
         Nations seek to become low-carbon economies as part of a national global warming reduction 
    strategy. A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming  is carbon neutrality , geoengineering
    and adaptation to global warming .
         Nuclear power, or, the proposed strategies of carbon collection and storage (CCS) have been
    proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources;
    there is concern, however, with the matter of spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of
    costs and time needed to successfully carry out CCS worldwide and with guarantees that the stored
    release will notleak into the atmosphere. Alternatively, many have proposed  renewable energy should
    be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this
    is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times.
    Furthermore, regardless of the effect to the atmosphere by GHG releases, the growing issue of peak
    oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE.
    1. Low-carbon economy is encouraged for the following reasons except that ______. 
    A. too much greenhouse gas CO2 is released
    B. the over-concentration of greenhouse gases is producing global warming
    C. it can avoid catastrophic climate change
    D. low carbon and zero carbon nations and societies claim for it
    2. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ______. 
    A. warning
    B. pioneer
    C. symbol
    D. guide
    3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?  
    A. Nuclear power could act as one of the primary means to achieve a LCE.
    B. There's worry about spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs.
    C. The stored release will be likely to leak into the atmosphere.
    D. Renewable energy tends to become the only means to achieve a LCE.
    4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the writer's attitude toward the proposal of adapting
    renewable energy is ______.
    A. negative
    B. positive
    C. self-confident
    D. doubtful

         Everywhere you look, large quantities of information in the world are pouring. This data flood is
    already starting to transform business, government, science and everyday life. It has great potential for
    good - aslong as consumers, companies and governments make the right choices about when to restrict
    the flow ofdata, and when to encourage it.
         A few industries have led the way in their ability to gather and take advantage of the data.
    Credit-cardcompanies monitor every purchase and can identify cheats with a high degree of accuracy.
    Stolen credit cards are more likely to be used to buy hard liquor than wine, for example, because it is
    easier to overlook. Insurance firms are also good at combining clues to spot doubtful claims: dishonest
    claims are more likely to be made on a Monday than a Tuesday, since policyholders (保险客户) who
    stage accidents tend to assemble friends as false witnesses over the weekend. By combining many such
    rules, it is possible to work out which cards are likeliest to have been stolen, and which  claims are
    untrue. By analyzing "basket data", supermarkets can make promotions to appeal to  particular
    customers' preferences. The oil industry uses supercomputers to help them before  drilling wells.
         But the data flood also poses risks. There are many examples of databases being  stolen: disks
    full of social-security data go missing, laptops loaded  with tax records are left in taxis,  credit-card
    numbers are stolen by online purchase. The  result can  be privacy made public, identity stolen and
    cheats permitted large space. Rather than  owning and controlling their own personal data, they very
    often find that they have lost control of it.
         The best way to deal with the data flood is to make more data available in the right way, by requiring
    greater transparency in several areas. First, users should be given greater access to and control over the
    information held about them, including whom it is shared with. Google allows users to see what information
    it holds about them, and lets them delete their search histories or modify the targeting of advertising, for
    example. Second, organizations should be required to disclose details of security breaches, as is already
    the case in some parts of the world, to encourage bosses to take information security more seriously.
    Third, organizations should be subject to an annual security check, with the resulting grade made public
    (though details of any problems exposed would not be). This would encourage companies to keep their
    security measures up to date.
    1. What is the best title for this passage?
    A. Information Flood              
    B. Benefits of Data Flood 
    C. Harms of Data Flood            
    D. How to Use Data in a Right Way
    2. From the passage we can infer that ________.
    A. lots of data are lost because of hardware problems
    B. online purchases are becoming more and more popular
    C. credit cards are not so secure to use and will go out of use very soon
    D. insurance firms have to investigate before they confirm their policyholders' claims
    3. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
    A. the data flood makes peoples' life less convenient and more expensive
    B. companies and insurance firms are responsible for the data flood
    C. the information flood is more useful to organizations than to individuals
    D. the information flood has both positive and negative influence on modern life

         Much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). But he dutifully reviewed
    his lessons. Over the months he tried and tried, and often repeating to me "My mom's going to hear me
    play some day."
         But he seemed hopeless, with no born ability. A real bad advertisement for my teaching!I was so happy when one day he stopped coming.
         Several weeks later my students are to have a recital (演奏会). To my surprise, Robby came, asking
    to play in the recital.
         "But, it is for current pupils, you dropped."
         "My mom was sick. But I have been practicing. I've just got to play!"
         I don't know what led me to agree, maybe ….
         The recital came. I put Robby up last to play before my "curtain closer", by which, I could save the
    recital if … 
         The recital went off well. Robby came up on stage, clothes wrinkled and his hair looked like he'd run
    an egg-beater through it. "How could his mom …?"
         Robby pulled out the piano bench and began. It was Mozart's work! I was not prepared for what I
    heard next. Like in a dream, I was then woken up by the wild applause, everybody was on their feet!
         "I've never heard you play like that Robby! How'd you do it?"
         Through the microphone Robby explained: "Well, Miss Hondorf, remember I told you my mom was
    sick? Actually she had cancer and died this morning. She was born deaf, tonight was the first time she ever heard me play. I wanted to make it special."
         My eyes were wet. He was not a student of mine, but a teacher!

         Cheating is common in various kinds of exams in college. Students don't feel shame to cheat in exams.
    They know that if caught cheating in an exam, the punishment will not be serious. This leads to frequent
    cheating in exams.
         At the University of Nevada, after students photographed test questions with their cellphone cameras,
    transmitted them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, the
    university put in place a new monitoring system.
          With their electronic tools, students these days find it easier to cheat. So college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse, trying to gain an advantage over would-be cheats this exam season with a
    range of strategies-cutting off Internet access from laptops, or demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests.
         Mr. Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that plagiarism in writing papers
    was probably a bigger problem because students can easily lift other people's writings off the Internet.
         Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of an attitude, not the tool at hand. Pressure to succeed sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldn't
    do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and secure a job.
         Whatever the reasons for cheating, college officials say the battle against it is wearing them out. First,
    people who cheat in exams will lose interest in studying. Second, they believe studying isn't meaningful.
    Even though they don't do anything, they can still pass. Third, people who cheat in exams will influence
    others.
    Plenty of hard working people will see that their results are lower than people who cheat in exams. Thus,
    we must prevent cheating in exams. We reduce the opportunities for cheating in exams.
         The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character.
    For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all level of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could that because we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?
         Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely
    to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating-a person may feel " they don't trust me anyway", and be tempted to " beat the system". Distrust can be contagious(传染的).
    But, so can trust.
