Food and drink makers are adding caffeine (咖啡因) to a growing number of products. Is it safe for kids to consume these products?You may have hear d adults say they can’t get going in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason why they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine, a substance (物质) known to improve and increase energy. Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding caffeine to many products, from popcorn and potato chips to water. “It’s possible for all of this caffeine consumption to add up and become dangerous,” says Virginia Stallings, a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Phila delphia. Studies show that too much caffeine can cause inability to sleep, and a racing heartbeat. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.One of the biggest problems is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine.A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than triple (三倍) that amount. Emergency-room visits related to energy-drink consumption were up from 10,068 visits in 2007 to 20,783 in 2011.Teenagers should be a ware of caffeine’s effects on health and on the brain. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. The effect? Research shows they may remember less of what they just studied.So what can be done to protect young people from the harmful effects of caffeine? Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. The amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to warn consumers. Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural methods instead: eating right, exercising, and getting plenty of sleep.5. According to the text, it’s dangerous to add more ___ to drinks.A. teaB. chocolateC. yoghurtD. caffeine6. What should the FDA do in protecting the consumers?A. Draw up a project about physical exercise.B. Forbid kids from having water with caffeine.C. Create a set of standards on caffeine products.D. Not allow energy drinks to appear in the market.7. What can we learn from the text?A. Cola has much more caffeine the Red Bull.B. More people are suffering from energy drinks.C. Drinking enough Red Bull can help sleep well.D. Having too much caffeine can improve memory.8. The text is written mainly for those ___ .A. who often have headachesB. who are caffeine-product loversC. who usually feel tiredD. who are food and drink makers参考答案5—8、DCBA阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Most young architects—particularly those in big cities—can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want,which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner,Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside,it looks too old,even something horrible,but open the door and you are in a wide,open courtyard,lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的)walls.In 2000,Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947,the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building hadfallen down. But the price was right,so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除),pulling rubbish out through the roof,because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work,but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do,and“to treasure what was there—the walls,the rust,the light. “ Yocum said. “Every season,more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation (装置)in there—a slow-motion show. “Since the back building had been constructed without windows,an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard,and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom,a kitchen and a mechanical room,and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.Yocum and Bell,who have just completed an art gallery for the city,feel that the experience from the decoration of their building,focusing on the inside rather than the outside,has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.1. According to the passage,it is for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.A. easyB. unnecessaryC. unrealisticD. common2. Yocum bought the old building because .A. it was a bargain to himB. it was still in good conditionC. it was located in the city centerD. it looked attractive from the outside3. Working on the old building,Yocum and Bell .A. pulled rubbish out through the roofB. removed the skylights from the bathroomC. presented a slow-motion show in an art galleryD. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building4. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell .A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB. turned more old buildings into art galleriesC. got inspiration from decorating their old buildingD. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery5. The main idea of the passage is that .A. people can learn a lot from their failuresB. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old buildingC. people should not judge things by their appearanceD. creative people can make the best of what they have【参考答案】1--5 、CAACD【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnes sed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different t ypes of birds.One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advan tage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lea d bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease i n wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less e nergy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position.But saving energy is important for more than one reason. So metimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a differ ent way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it migh t turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee th at other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the wh ole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow poi nting to the location of food.Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come togeth er if a predator（天敌） is spotted. The predator may then become impatient wait ing for a single bird to fly away from the group. The birds will o ften dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persist ent enemy. Scientists report that this is a very effective metho d of defense against an attack.The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. As tra nsportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is movi ng forward together, then success takes care of itself.” When i t comes to teamwork, these feathered fliers are a soaring suc cess!1. According to the passage, we can learn that birds ________ ___.A. move faster than cyclistsB. prefer to fly in a V formationC. are smarter than other animalsD. play different roles in a formation2. When food is sighted, ____________.A. the group follows the discovererB. the lead bird decides what to doC. the discoverer leaves the groupD. the whole group forms a stream3. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _____________ .A. break into groupsB. come close togetherC. change directionsD. fly up and down4. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A Bird’s-Eye View of Teamwork.B. Success Takes Care of Itself.C. The Strongest Will Survive.D. A Science Behind Flying.【参考答案】1—4、DA B A2016高考英语****阅读理解。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

The Making of a SurgeonHow does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is final ly a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 1 more th an one occasion.The answer, I concluded, was 2 . When you can say to you rself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 3 or better than any other surgeon”— then, and n ot until then, you are 4 a surgeon. I was 5 that point.6 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almo st every night. The first few months of the year I had7 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decisi on to be8 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do i n a particular9 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 10 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 11 I had m ade a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 12 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 13 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 14 I could find the 15 of mind I needed to relax.Now, in the last month of my residency, 16 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still cou ldn’t be sure of my decision, b ut I had learned to 17 this as a constant problem for a surg eon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any deci sion I’d made was bound to be a 18 one. It was a nice feeli ng.This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 19 a surgeon needs conceit. He ne eds it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothere d by the 20 and uncertainties that are part of the practice o f medicine.

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 1 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except DavidDavid was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 2 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 3. I can still remember he was always 4 a smile and willing to help. He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 5 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for homeWeeks passed and the 6 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break.

Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproduct s(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is truethat the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因。

Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster （过山车） on Earth, drops its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa, the fastest, takes riders' breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. BRC Imagination Arts, a Southern California design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.BRC drew its concept from the "Vomit Comet," the plane NASA uses to train astronauts. Its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing "Superman: Escape from Krypton" coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. But unlike Superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. Riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.To create that illusion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. As the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow down—just enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. As the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.Roller coasters typically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. But if someone were to write a check today, Rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2014.1. What makes BRC's coaster different?A. It's the tallest roller coaster in the States.B. It's the fastest roller coaster on Earth.C. It can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.D. It is a NASA product.2. Why would people in BRC's coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber?A. Because it's designed with the inspiration of Superman.B. Because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.C. Because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.D. Because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.3. At what point could a rider begin to feel weightless?A. When the coaster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.B. When the coaster began to increase its speed.C. When the coaster reduced its speed to a stop back at the base station.D. When the coaster reached the top of the track.4. What can we infer from the passage?A. BRC is a famous design firm.B. You feel like a superman when riding BRC coaster.C. BRC's budget can't make the project complete until 2014.D. Kingda Ka and Ferrari World's Formula Rossa will close down soon.【参考答案】1—4、CBAC阅读理解。

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn pr oduced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. Two thirds of customers say that environmental consideration s inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a yea r ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even b etter aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. This may help to influence how shops store goods on their sh elves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible compani es, with about one in seven saying that they had even decide d to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s envir onmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important no w. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an i mmediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducin g their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require bu sinesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissi ons（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head star t. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about whic h companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests t hat firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the pu blic will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing custo mers about the good work companies are doing. “When comp anies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo （标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are workin g towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep g oods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ envi ronmental awareness.( ) 2. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”.A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject( ) 3. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere ( ) 4.

【题文】DThe Pew report---which was based on surveys carried out in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland and the Czech Republic --- concluded that the European Union w as “ the new sick man of Europe”.The percentage of Europeans with a favorable view of the EU has plunged from 60 percent last year to 45 percent now.The UK may be considered the most Eurosceptic（欧洲怀疑论者）country, but its support for the union has barely changed in the past 12 months, slipping only two points to 43 percent.By contrast, France’s backing for the EU has slipped sharply, from 60 percent last year to 41 percent today.On the question of whether to remain in the EU, 46 percent of the British want to leave the union and surprisingly, the same percentage went to stay.The Pew re port’s authors said, “The long-drawn economic crisis has created bad forces that are pulling European public opinion apart, separating the French from the Germans and German s from everyone else.”They added, “The effo rt over the past half century to create a more united Europe is now the main disaster of the euro crisis. The European project now stands in a bad reputation across much of Europe.”The only European leader rated highly by their own voters was the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with 74 percent voters in favor of her.Prime Minister David Cameron was the next highest with a positive score of 37 percent among the British public, although he can take some comfort from the fact that 58 percent of Poles and half of all French people think he is doing a good job.In spite of the dark economic future and growing doubt of the EU, there were strong majorities of more than 60 percent in favor of keeping the euro in the fivecountries surveyed that use the single currency.1. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent Pew report?A. The UK has the smallest number of people against the EU.B. There’s a slight change of the UK’s support for the EU.C.
