When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming one of the most popular trends．But, what is exactly is green computing?The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology．Yet, many computer users out there aren’t sure what it means．Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do---it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings．The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment．Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible．Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologies．It was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers．The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more com panies strive to meet over the years．There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting．Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers，and also implemented a ranking system for products．Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing．Many of today’s IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to helppush their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others．This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management, and regulatory compliance（顺从）．Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome．Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process．While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent．Green computing（1）_________Learning to make （2）_________ use of computer resources so as tosave energy and protect the environment．Main goalTo reduce the use of energy and material s that do （3）_________ tothe environment．（4）_________ ●In 1992 the EPA created Energy Star program, （5）_________ energy efficient computing equipment and technologies．●Then many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and many computer users （6）_________ the policy to save energy．●In 2006 Energy Star made the computer requirements （7）_________ and implemented a ranking system for products．●At （8）_________, over 20 states have established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics．Present situation ●Green co mputing requires the （9）_________ of users, management, and regulatory compliance．●Green computing is becoming more mainstream （10）_________．●New, beret computers will help both companies and users, andprotect the environment．1．Definition 2．better 3．harm/damage 4．Development/History 5．Promoting 6．adopted 7．stricter 8．present 9．satisfaction 10．globally/worldwide（B）请认真阅读下列短文,根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing---which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.The Indoor PollutionIndoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer. Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting（通风）and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.The Out door pollutionResearchers h ave also established outdoor pollution’s role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthmasince the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.1. relationship/ relation2. symptoms3. consequences/ results/ effects4.

Besides owning some cooking tools and farming equipment, the Tarahumaras exist much as they did before the Spanish arrived in the 1600s. They live in caves or in small houses made of stone and wood, and they eat what they can grow on the dry land.Ten years ago, linguist(语言学家) James Copeland entered the world of the Tarahumaras to study their language and culture. Since then, he has been visiting the Tarahumaras three or four times a year. Tarahumara is not a written language, so part of Copeland's project was to learn to speak Tarahumara so that he could deal directly with the people. "There are no language police," Copeland says. "Children are seldom corrected by their parents. They learn by observation of speech in conversations and by imitation."Copeland learned the language through his frequent exposure(暴露) to it and by analyzing the grammar. His linguistic skills and mastery of German, Spanish, French, and Russian, plus a partial knowledge of twenty other languages, also helped. Drawing on his research, Copeland plans to produce a Tarahumara grammar book in English and perhaps one in Spanish.The idea to study the Tarahumaras came to Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language. He got in touch with a Tarahumara Indian called Lornezo Gonzalez through a social worker who worked with the Tarahumaras in the border town of Juarez, Mexico. At first, Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help and took Copeland to his village. "Over a period of a year our relationship became closer and warmer," says Copeland. "Thanks to him, the Tarahumaras started trusting us and understood what we were doing."1. What can we learn about the Tarahumaras?A.They have a strict education system.B.They live a very simple and hard life.C.They arrived in Mexico with the Spanish.D.They are good at agriculture and architecture.2.According to Copeland，learning Tarahumara is _______.A.not easyB.a waste of timeC.very interestingeful for learning Spanish3.Before Copeland learned Tarahumara. he had _______.A.fully researched this languageB.read a Tarahumara grammar bookC.visited the Tarahumaras three timesD.asked a Tarahumara Indian for help4.The underlined word "reluctant" in the last paragraph probably means "_______".A. readyB. anxiousC. pleasedD. unwilling8、Welcome to Holker Hall & GardensVisitor InformationHow to Get to HolkerBy Car: Follow brown signs on A590 from J36,M6.Approximate travel times: Windermere-20 minutes,Kendal-25 minutes,Lancaster-45 minutes,Manchester-1 hour 30 minutes.By Rail:The nearest station is Cark-in-Cartmel with trains to Carnforth,Lancasterand Preston for connections to major cities & airports.Opening TimesSunday-Friday (closed on Saturday)11:00 am-4:00pm,30th March-2nd November.

请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society. We should return to the old traditions of family and community, and then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize(区分优先次序) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned(谴责) then. But we cannot ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern twins.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of amutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.Title: Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?（B）请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
