2010年高考阅读理解专题精练精析(四)第四组AEveryone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissionshow(排放物)around the world. There is less agreement over exactlynations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap –and –trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?With cap – and – trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap – and – trade has the upper hand, but doesn’t defeat the tax just yet.Supporters of the tax argue that a cap – and – trade system would be too difficult to administer – and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap – and – trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower –income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.1. The passage focuses on_________.A. programs of collecting taxesB. systems of reducing carbon emissionsC. reasons for reducing carbon emissionsD. contradictions between the two systems2. According to the cap – and – trade program, companies_________ .A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC. can sell their remaining allowance within their limitsD. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price3. Carbon taxes work by _________.A. burdening well – off familiesB. encouraging industries to consume carbonC. raising the price for carbon consumptionD. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only4. The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to_________.A. limitB. creditC. levelD. rate5. We can learn from the passage_________ .A. carbon taxes are difficult to carry outB. cap – and – trade plays a greater role at presentC. cap – and – trade will be preferable in the futureD. carbon taxes will be preferable in the future【解题导语】全球变暖成为一个热得不能再热的话题,可是,一个人的力量可能让全球变暖的速度慢下来吗?换句话说,我们每个人可以为防止全球变暖做些什么吗?答案是肯定的,你和科学家、工商企业界以及政府联手,可以开辟出一条减少温室气体排放之路。

BPrisoner Mitchell King had a visitor— his wife. King was serving a six-year prison term in Auckland, New Zealand for armed robbery. But his wife didn’t want to be away from him for that long. So they held hands and they stuck. She’s rubbed her palms with super glue.Their new-found closeness was short-lived. And their separation painful. Her technique is not one I'd recommend(introduce) for a closer relationship.But if you want more closeness; if you desire relationships that are deeper and broader, more meaningful and longer-lasting, then remember the word "TRA VEL."T is for TRUST. Trust is the glue that holds people together (not Super Glue). A relationship will go nowhere without it.R is for RESPECT. "Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; speak them rather now instead," writes Anna Cummins. It's about respecting others and letting them know that you value them.A is for AFFECTION. Sometimes affection means love. Sometimes it means a touch. Always it means kindness.V is for VULNERABILITY(harm). Though we may feel afraid to let another too close, no relationship will go anywhere without risking vulnerability. Entrepreneur Jim Rohn says, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." And the love.E is for EMOTIONAL INTIMACY(亲密). Learn to be open. Learn to communicate freely. What kinds of relationships you make are largely determined by how openly you have learned to communicate.L is for LAUGHTER. Victor Borge got it right when he said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." It's also the most enjoyable.For relationships that can really go somewhere, just remember the word "TRA VEL." Then enjoy the trip! 6.The author intends to _________ by showing us the example in Paragraph One.A. condemn the wife for her silly behaviorB. introduce new ways for closer relationshipsC. tell us King and his wife would never be separatedD. encourage us to follow the wife’s technique7.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph Four refers to?A.

It’s unnecessary to avoid vulnerability for closer relationships.C. Love will be kept out if you let another too close.D. We shouldn’t let another too close because of vulnerability.9.What does Victor Borge really mean by his word in the ninth paragraph?A. Laughter will keep the shortest distance.B. Laughter will make a closer relationship.C. No relationship will go without laughter.D. Laughter is necessary to make friends.10.What would be the best title for this passage?A. Relationships.B.
