| 阅读理解 In a world with limited land,water and other natural resources,the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words,we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources. Today,sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study,the global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China,for example,has set its mind on leading that market,hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy,and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition,we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil,which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First,they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction,and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries. 1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________. A. it makes the world warmer B. it consumes natural resources C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. China lacks wind and solar energy. B. China is the leader of the lowcarbon market. C. Highspeed trains are a lowcarbon development. D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests. 3. To full develop the lowcarbon markets,,government can ________. A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emission C. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation 4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ________. A. develop sustainable products B. explore new natural resources C. make full use of natural resources D. deal with the major challenge 5. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new business model. B. To compare two business models. C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To advocate sustainable development. |
| 阅读理解 On Tuesday,,a new study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation:Heart Failure revealed that women who ate five or more dishes of baked fish had a thirty percent lower risk of heart failure in comparison to women who ate less than one dish a month. Researchers examined the diets of 84,493 women,,whose ages ranged from 50 to 79.The women who had eaten lots of baked fish like salmon (鲑鱼),,were more healthy than those who mostly ate tuna (金枪鱼)or white fish.Eating baked fish also appeared to provide a protection against high blood pressure.The study also found that those women who ate more baked fish were likely to have a lower weight,,exercise more and eat more fruits and vegetables in comparison to those who ate fried fish. Researchers noted that past research had discovered the fatty acids (脂肪酸)in fish probably decreased the risk of high blood pressure by improving blood pressure along with heart and blood functioning.This study showed the link between eating fish and heart failure risk but it was not designed to show cause and effect. This study also showed that just by eating one dish of fried fish a week led to a 49% greater risk of heart failure,,and eating fried fish led to lower fiber (纤维)intake and higher calorie (卡路里)intake. The American Heart Association suggested eating a minimum of two dishes of fish especailly fatty fish each week. 1. Compared to the women who ate fried fish those who ate more baked fish could ________. A. be more relaxed B. be more healthy C. eat more every day D. raise blood pressure 2.
