    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

     1   The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global warming.

    Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

    You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as “green” fertilizer in your garden.

    The payoff:  2  

    Strategy 2: Turn off your computer

    When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.   3  

    The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO?? by 750 pounds.

    Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

    Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.

    The payoff:    4   The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

    Strategy 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom

    Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.

    The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too.

    Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)

    Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.   5   .

    The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.

    A.You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.

    B. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.

    C. It might be a little expensive to buy, but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment.

    D. In fact, 75 percent of electricity used in your home comes from electronics that are not turned off.

    E. You’re reducing pollution.

    F. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

    G. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environmrnt from 5000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

    Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a-year-long and highly public battle with cancer. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011".
    A message on the site read, "Apple has lost an imaginary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring leader."
    "His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
    "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple." The Silicon Valley hero who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone had resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the position to current chief executive Tim Cook.
    Two years before the iPhone that forever transformed the way people around the world access and use the Internet, Jobs talked about how a sense of his death was a major driver behind that vision.
    "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever got to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005. "Because almost everything－all others' expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
    "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
    【小题1】According to the passage, which statement of Steve Jobs is RIGHT?

    A．Steve Jobs was the present CEO of Apple.
    B．Steve Jobs was thought to have great talent.
    C．Steve Jobs had no idea about his death before.
    D．Steve Jobs fought against cancer for a year secretly.
    【小题2】What can we learn about iPhone from the passage?
    A．People can use it to do anything they want.
    B．It can teach people how to surf the Internet.
    C．People can learn the spirit of Apple from it.
    D．It can change the way people use the Internet.
    【小题3】In Jobs's speech in Stanford, we can learn that                         .
    A．to make great achievements, you must lose everything
    B．people should try to achieve everything regardless of death
    C．people who will be dead soon must make big choices in life
    D．in the face of death, nothing is truly important except to follow your dream
    【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．Steve Jobs changed the world.
    B．Steve Jobs died on Wednesday.
    C．Who will be the next Steve Jobs?
    D．Steve Jobs, the greatest American CEO.

    All too often, a choice that seems sustainable(可持续的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇) for fuel from corn. Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea. 

       One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land –including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.

       You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental(环境的) costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.

    1.What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?

    A. The growing demand for energy to make ethanol

    B. The increasing carbon dioxide in the air

    C. The greater need for farmland

    D. The big change in weather.

    2.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “           ” 

    A. the energy benefit                                              B. the forest loss 

    C. climate change                                           D. burning ethanol 

    3.The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is           . 

    A. impractical                    B. acceptable               C. admirable         D. useless 

    4.What does the author mainly discuss in the text? 

    A. Technology                          B. Sustainability

    C. Ethanol energy            D. Environmental protection

    Being a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days.

    　　Today’s parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found. Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.

    The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did – just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day. And 64 per cent said this was because they felt they ‘had’ to go out to work, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said they were under constant pressure to be the ‘perfect mother’, the report found.

    Other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as Skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities. Kate Fox, a member of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble, said: ‘With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift” — to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever.

    It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’. Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time – more than two and a half hours – looking after their offspring, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

    　　Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or childminders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk.

    　　The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them - even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child - 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.

    1.. What does the passage mainly talk about?

       A. The good old days of mothers in the 1970s and 1980s.

       B. The great sufferings of today’s children.

       C. The statistics of working mothers and full-time mothers.

       D. The big problems that today’s working mothers face.

    2.. What does the underlined phrase “yearn for” probably means ___________.

    A. hate            B. miss           C. abandon         D. control

    3. Which of the following problems is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    A. Today’s mothers have less time left for their children and themselves.

    B. The working mothers can hardly strike the balance between work and family.

    C. Most of the mothers can not control their husbands nowadays.

    D. Modern fathers do not spend enough time with their children.

    4. From para. 4, we can infer that ___________.

       A. working mothers can seek help on line

       B. Skype is a very famous expert in studying social issues

       C. working mothers’ double shift is to be a wife and a mother

       D. Kate Fox has opened a website offering help to working mothers

    5.. What critics say means that _____________.

       A. it is wise for working mothers to put their kids in nurseries or childminders

       B. too much time in nurseries or childminders is bad for kids’ mental and physical health

       C. nurseries or childminders are dangerous places for children

       D. children do not like nurseries or childminders at all
