Jaime, Bradley, Carrie, Josh和Alan每人根据自己的职业作答了一份关于Robot的调查问卷，第71至75题是他们的职业介绍。阅读下面七项信息（A、B、C、D、E、F和G），选出与他们职业匹配的最佳选项，并标在答题纸的相应位置上, 选项中有两项是多余选项。
71. _______ Carrie is a young man who has a job in a city construction company. He is afraid of climbing up ladders and carrying the iron bars and concrete onto higher places.

72. _______ Jaime is a professor in the field of biochemistry. He is worried about his health situation as he keeps so close to harmful elements year in and year out.

73. _______ Bradley works in the International Ocean Security Association. He is sad to think of the fact that there were so many people who couldn’t be saved at last in disasters.

74. _______ Alan is a worker in an auto factory. He is thinking of changing another job which is more interesting and creative.

75. _______ Josh is an administrator of the National Spaceflight Bureau, which is short of qualified pilots at the moment.

A
I suppose robots could be used as dust people during night time, as they don’t need to sleep and they are comparatively safe in polluted environment.
B
I suppose small remote control robots could be used as sea rescuing workers to search through wreckage（打捞）in a disaster looking for people in the sea. Bomb defusers（扫雷管）are now robots reducing the risk of losing a life.

C

I suppose robots could be used to do jobs that are dangerous, as they can lift heavy objects, paint, handle chemicals, and perform the same job hour after hour, day after day without stop. 

D
I suppose robots could be used as chemical researchers. At least they can help us carry harmful chemicals in a chemical plant or help to go into small areas inaccessible to us. It can be used to examine the inside of a nuclear reactor（核反应堆）.

E
I suppose robots could be astronauts and they could travel very far away, like Pluto. If they can, we don’t need to especially train human beings to be astronauts as it costs quite a lot and it also takes many years to make a professional astronaut.
F
I suppose robots could be used as car assembly（装配）workers, in parts of a car building line. Assembly lines make the process move faster, get more work done and cost less. But the job is so mechanical and boring.

G
I suppose robots can do such dangerous jobs as sky-scraper builders that would be safer for human beings. If injured or broken, they can be fixed easily. They can also work in unfavorable conditions such as dark, extreme heat, extreme cold etc.

 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. 

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. 

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. 

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 

1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 

A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. 

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. 

C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. 

D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London. 

2. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.

A. getting a small flat with a garden     B. having a small flat with a garden

C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden

3. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. 

A. who live in the country

B. who have spent time working in the garden

C. who have a garden of their own

D. who have been digging, planting and watering

4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London. 

A. their life was meaningless              B. their life was invaluable

C. they didn’t deserve a happy life              D. they were not worthy of their happy life

5. The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. the rest time                    B. the rest people

C. the rest of the country              D. the rest of the parks and of the sea

Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time.Though they have learned a great deal,they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action.They know that the inside of the earth is very hot,but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat.Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers.Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed.During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium,uranium,thorium,and other radioactive elements.Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.

Whatever the cause of the heat may be,we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig.In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet.At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock.However,the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points.Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic,or puttylike（油灰状的）.In other words,the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid.But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure,the rock melts.Then the hot,liquid rock can move up toward the surface.

The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.

 A.great pressure of the earth’s outer layers

 B.the heat left from the time when the earth was formed

 C.radioactive elements giving out heat

 D.not sure

According to the passage,______ prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points.

 A.the pressure of the rock itself

 B.the pressure of the rock above

 C.the pressure of the earth’s outer layers

 D.the heat given out by some radioactive elements

According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?

 A.The farther down,the hotter the earth gets.

 B.The rock deep in the earth is liquid.

 C.When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust,the rock melts.

 D.Rock would be melted at 4 000°.

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1个最恰当的单词。(Reuters) - A U.N. climate deal due to be agreed in Copenhagen at talks from December 7-18 may fall short of a legally binding(有约束力的) agreement. If Copenhagen fails to live up to hopes of a strong agreement to slow global warming, what are the reasons and who risks blame? The following are some of the candidates:

● Decline in economy distracted(分散) focus from climate change after the world agreed in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007 to work out a new U.N. agreement by December 2009. Rich nations have put billions of dollars into green growth as part of recovery packages but, when unemployment at home is high, find it hard to promise extra money for developing countries. The slowdown in industrial output means a brief fix -- greenhouse gas emissions(排放) are likely to fall by as much as 3 percent this year.

● Many delegates at U.N. talks have given up hope that the United States, the number two emitter after China, will agree legislation(立法, 法律) to limit carbon emissions before Copenhagen. The US is the only industrialized nation outside the Kyoto Protocol(京都协议书) for cutting greenhouse emissions until 2012. Many countries welcomed President Barack Obama's promises of doing more to fight climate change when he took office in January but hoped for swifter action.

● Developing nations accuse the rich of repeatedly failing to keep promises of more aid. Few developed countries live up to a target agreed by the U.N. General Assembly in 1970 to give 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product in development aid. Other plans, such as the Agenda 21 environmental development plan agreed in 1992, have fallen short.

● Most rich nations are promising cuts in greenhouse gas emissions well short of the 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, which are needed to avoid the worst of climate change. Overall cuts promised by developed nations total between 11 and 15 percent. Best offers by countries including Japan, the European Union, Australia and Norway would reach the range.

● More than 90 percent of the growth in emissions between now and 2030 is set to come from developing nations -- with almost 50 percent from China alone, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said this week. "No country holds the fate of the earth more in its hands than China. Not one," he said. China and India say they are slowing the growth of emissions but raising living standards is more important. So burning more energy is unavoidable -- as industrialized nations have done for 200 years.

● 2008 was the 10th warmest year since records began in the mid-19th century. The warmest was 1998, when a strong El Nino event in the eastern Pacific disrupted(使混乱) weather worldwide. That has led some to argue that global warming is slowing even though the U.N.'s WMO(世界气象组织) says a long-term warming trend is unchanged.

● People have been slow in changing lifestyles to use less carbon. Simple choices like taking more public transport, using less heating or air conditioning, even changing light bulbs can help if millions of people act.

Who's to blame if U.N. climate deal falls short?
