Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions. 3.5℃ This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction. 2℃ To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species. 1.5℃ This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking. 0.8℃ This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point. 0℃ The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age. 【1】It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______. A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020 B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming 【2】If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100? A. The human population would increase by one third. B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist. C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets. D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached. 【3】If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be _______. A. 0.8℃ B. 1.5℃ C. 2℃ D. 3.5℃ |

It’s not often an athlete receives a personal best and then leaves the track with a sense of disappointment.But after Karsten Warholm ran the second-fastest 400m hurdles (跨栏) in history earlier this year, the man couldn’t help but think what could have been. The 24-year-old dragged his trailing (落后) leg on the final hurdle in Stockholm in August to finish in a world-leading 46.87 seconds—0.09 seconds shy of Kevin Young’s world record, a mark he has moved ever closer to throughout his career.Young’s world record, set at the Barcelona Olympics, has stood for 28 years, the longest-standing record in men’s track running. “Being really happy and really disappointed at the same time—it’s a strange feeling,” Warholm says as he reflects on his season.“I was really, really happy of course with the race in itself.But stumbling (绊倒) into the last hurdle and just looking at the time, knowing that most likely I spoiled my chance of a world record right there.I think I’ve never felt that way before.” Young recently said he feels it’s “about time” his record is broken, and a glance at the all-time list suggests he might not have to wait much longer.Warholm has run four of the 10 fastest times in the event’s history, while his two closest competitors, Rai Benjamin and Abderrahmane Samba, make up the only other athletes to ever run under 47 seconds. Between those three, the race for the world record is very much on.“This is going to be really, really tough competition,” says Warholm, who took the world title last year.“I think in 400m hurdles we are in for a real treat because everybody wants this right now.I think it’s going to be like the moon race between the United States and Russia – it’s going to be crazy.” It will take more big leaps than small steps to win in hurdles’ version of the Space Race, but as with any contest—athletic or cosmic (宇宙的)—it is competition that helps boost progress.“It’s really important to have competition, somebody pushing you and somebody keeping you on your toes, I really like that,” Warholm adds.“I’m thankful for my competitors – even though I want to beat them, of course.” 【1】What can be inferred form paragraph 2? A.Warholm felt too shy to meet Kevin Young. B.Kevin set a world record of 46.87 seconds in hurdling. C.Warholm failed the race totally because of his injured leg. D.Warholm’s race fell 0.09 seconds short of Kevin’s record. 【2】Why, after the race, did Warholm feel happy and disappointed at the same time? A.Having mixed feelings is usual for athletes. B.Being second in the race made him cheerful. C.The race made him happy but not setting the record discouraged him. D.The race strengthened his determination to outperform himself and others. 【3】Why “Rai Benjamin” and “Abderrahmane” Samba were mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To show the competition was very tough. B.To show their great achievement. C.To show people’s admiration to them. D.To show nobody could do better than them. 【4】In Warholm’s opinion, __________. A.competition and progress cannot coexist. B.the competition made athletes do mad things C.athletes need to sacrifice everything to win the race D.the hurdle race is as competitive as the moon race |

Alaska state officials are hosting Walmart executives in the state capital this week in an effort to resolve a months-old argument over Alaskan salmon fisheries’ sustainability qualifications. The seeds of the quarrel were planted several years ago when several Alaskan fisheries decided to end their relationship with the Marine Stewardship Council—the famous global organization that states and proves the truthfulness of sustainable fishing—to seek out other means assuring customers of their sustainable practices. But last June, Walmart told Alaskan fisheries that it would not be buying salmon sourced from fisheries not certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Now Walmart is caught between two forces–Alaska fisheries and “buy American” enthusiasts who think the company’s first responsibility should be to American industry, and environmentalists who think Walmart should make as strong a commitment to environmentally sustainable industry as possible. But from a broader perspective, this latest noise is an object lesson in why the concept of corporate (公司的) responsibility has shortcomings to begin with. Walmart—like most successful corporations—is pretty good at offering products their customers want at low prices. When it tries to promote broader public goods, like a clean environment, or lower unemployment for veterans, it’s nowhere near as successful. Here’s a few of Walmart’s more notable corporate-responsibility confusion: The Buy-American Debacle: Walmart’s first major corporate responsibility push was an effort in the 1980s to promote American-made products. But the campaign ran aground (搁浅) after a NBC investigation revealed that the company was actually selling products manufactured in India as “Made American.” The Going Green Campaign: Walmart launched on a sustainability campaign aimed at making the retail giants operations much more environmentally friendly. Though Walmart and the media have done much to raise visibility of these efforts, the actual results have been lacking. According to a recent report from the Institute for Local Self Reliance (ILSR), Walmart’s sustainability campaign is much more focused on making its operations appear green to customers than stopping doing things that would actually help the environment, like reducing emissions. In reality, these examples simply show that one can’t realistically expect corporations to behave in a way that is opposite to making profits. But that doesn’t mean that the goal of fishing sustainability isn’t achievable. It’s just that the corporate structure isn’t our best means of achieving them—the government is. 【1】What is the function of the Marine Stewardship Council? A.To advocate sustainable fishing practices. B.To persuade supermarkets to buy its products. C.To solve disagreements between fisheries and supermarkets. D.To guarantee the safety of goods supplied by supermarkets. 【2】According to the author, Walmart’s corporate responsibility is ________. A.confusing B.heavy C.environmental-friendly D.unsatisfying 【3】From Paragraph 5, we know ________. A.Walmart’s sustainability campaign worked well B.Walmart might have profited at the cost of the environment C.ILSR’s report was part of Walmart’s campaign plan D.Walmart had no intention to protect the environment at all 【4】Who should be mainly responsible for achieving the goals of fishing sustainability? A.The company structure B.Walmart C.The government D.The Marine Stewardship Council |

SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”.In the article, a lot of people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough.Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology.Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America.They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community.They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives.Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph? A.A person died in an accident while driving his brand-new car. B.The relatives of the victim would never accept the apology. C.Many people took a negative attitude to this new technology. D.The company was very concerned about the future of this new technology. 【2】What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the Amish in the second paragraph? A.To persuade us to follow their natural living style. B.To tell us the Amish prefer a harmonious and peaceful life. C.To prove people can still live better without new technology. D.To advocate a simple life with family and community by hard work. 【3】According to the third paragraph, which of the following benefits is not talked about? A.Monitoring people’s physical health. B.Providing chances in life more easily. C.Predicting the earthquake and tsunami. D.Helping people contact each other easily. 【4】The underlined word “prospect” in the last paragraph probably means __________. A.resistance B.future C.advance D.positivity 【5】Why did the author decide to write about the passage? A.The author wanted to praise the advantages of new technology. B.The author wanted to show his supportive idea of new technology. C.The author wanted to criticize the disadvantages of new technology. D.The author wanted to arouse people’s concern about new technology. |

C Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’sWar and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized.’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point. It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three ofWar and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’ Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon. Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own. 【1】Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peaceis _________. A.far from the historical facts B.based on the Russian history C.based on his selection of facts D.not related to historical details 【2】Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________. A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms B.the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept C.the Russians stopped his military movement D.he didn’t have any more army to fight with 【3】What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do? A.To walk out of the room in anger. B.To show agreement with him. C.To say something about the Tsar. D.To express his admiration. 【4】Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________. A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B.fond of showing off his iron will C.determined in destroying all of Europe D.crazy for power and respect 【5】What does the last sentence of the passage imply? A.A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings. B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way. C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes. D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings. |

Three Key Steps to Motivate Your Team to Strive for Excellence It is a known fact that one of the most compelling reasons employees leave their job is because they feel unappreciated, or that they bring no real value to their team.【1】 In order to motivate and build up a team for excellence, there are some key steps that you should follow. 【2】 This does not mean that you should hang out with them at the local bar, or become one of their weekend buddies. What it does mean is that if you want to motivate your team to excellence, then you should take the time to get to know your team personally by talking individually to them at different times, asking basic questions, and letting them see that you are human and accessible. 【3】 Recognize them as a person, not just their ability. Too often, we are quick to praise people for a job well done, but we fail to let the person know that we appreciate them as a person. Praise them for that job well done, but take notice of their personal qualities and talents and how they bring value to the team.【4】 For example: “Hey Johnny, those were some great ideas you came up with in the team meeting today, I like the way you think!” Make their success public. Take time in your team meetings each week to recognize and talk about the people who made a difference that week.【5】 This makes others want to push harder and do more as they see that hard work is valued. Many times other team members do not know what has happened in other departments, or the accomplishments that they have had, so this is also a great way for your team to keep up with the latest and greatest. A.Build a relationship with your team. B.Treat your team to something special. C.Let the rest of the team see that you took notice and you appreciate it. D.People will find it difficult to “go along” with you if they cannot “get along” with you. E.Something special happens when we hear our name—it tells us that we are important. F.If you want to motivate your team to do their very best, you have to let them know that they are a vital part of your team. G.This should be done in person randomly so that they can see that you are the one who noticed and you know they are on your team. |
