(湖南省长沙市一中2010届高三第九次月考C篇)
Group of British charities has teamed up with British film actor Bill Nighy and producer Richard Curtis to campaign for what they call a "new deal between banks and society." They want to put a 0.05 percent tax on financial transactions between banks that don't involve the public in order to raise money for social services and to fight poverty and climate change. The run on the British bank Northern Rock in September 2007 marked the beginning of the world banking crisis in Britain. In the end, the British and other governments spent hundreds of millions of dollars bailing out troubled financial institutions.
Now a group of charities and celebrities has launched a campaign to get some of the money back. They call it the Robin Hood Tax after the legendary English folk hero who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Max Lawsom is with the humanitarian advocacy group Oxfam. "Basically, trillions of dollars change hands every day between the banks. What we're saying is we could take a tiny slice of that, 0.05 percent, which could raise hundreds of billions of dollars to help for poverty in rich countries, jobs in the U.S., jobs in the UK, but also for poverty in Africa as a result of people dying because of the economic crisis," Lawson said.
That's what real-life bankers are saying, too. Brian Mairs is the spokesman for the British banking association. "It's not something that would work in the real world," he says, "Certainly not at the moment when we still have disputed trade agreements. We're indeed having cross border wars. The idea of there being a single tax which is imposed ( 强加)across the world is simply unbelievable. "Organizers say they want G20 countries to participate, and they're starting an online grassroots movement to pressure world leaders. It's on Twitter and Facebook.
"You've had thousands of people sign up to support the Robin Hood Tax and talk about it on Twitter. Interestingly, they've now started tweeting (鸟叫) to their politicians," Jonathan Tench, Oxfam's parliamentary officer said. Supporters can become "merry men and women" by putting a green mask on their online photo, or printing one to wear. If online reaction is any indicator, people are largely in favor. Some British banks are posting record profits and giving large bonuses to executives. Observers say that's causing public outrage(愤怒) against bankers that could boost the campaign. Campaigners even projected their message on the side of the Bank of England. It was one way they say to show bankers that the writing is on the wall.
66. From the passage we can see the purpose of putting a 0 .05 percent tax on financial transactions between banks that don’t involve the public is ________ .
A. to deposit more money in banks to fight the crisis
B. to withdraw more money from banks to solve the problem
C. to collect some money during the transactions by taxing a bit higher

A. Because Robin Hood is a millionaire.
B. Because Robin Hood robbed the rich to help the poor.
C. Because it was Robin Hood that made the law of taxation.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Biofuels
Biofules have been around as long as cars have.At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol(乙醇).But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits(储量)kept gasoline and diesel(柴油)cheap for decades, and biofucls were largely forgotten.However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity.
Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels.But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years.Biofuels are similar, except that they're made form plants grown today.
Much of the gasoline in the United States in blended with a biofuel-ethanol.Countries around the world are using various kinds of biofuels.For decades, Brazil has turned sugarcane into ethanol, and some cars there can run on pure ethanol rather than as additive to fossil fuels.
On the face of it, biofuels look line a great solution.Since plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grown crops grown for biofuels should suck up about as much carbon dioxide as comes out of the tailpipes of cars that burn these fuels.And unlike underground oil reserves, biofuels are a renewable resource since we can always grow more crops to turn into fuel.
Unfortunately, it's not so simple.The process of growing the crops, making fertilizers and pesticides, and processing the plants into me!consumes a lot of energy.Also, because much of the energy used in production comes from coal and natural gas, biofiiels don't replace as much oil as they use.
China is going green.In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, carmakers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market.Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week.Let’s have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid run on a rechargeable battery and gas.Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gas engines.The gasoline engine provides 99 percent of the power when the car is going at a steady speed. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when it needs to speed up.
Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine.The first thing you notice is that it is quieter than a traditional car.At this point, the car’s gas engine is at rest.The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24km/h.If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gas being used, and no waste gas given off.
The computer decides when to use the gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two.If you go over 24km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electric motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries.And when driving at a high speed, the gas engine not only powers the car but also recharges the batteries.When you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator (发电机) to produce electricity to recharge the batteries.As a result, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
66.The underlined sentence probably means ________.
A.there will be more and more green land in China
B.China’s new cars are combinations of different green models
C.China is still young and lacking in experience
D.the environment is getting better in China
67. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gas.
B. They have smaller engines than traditional gas ones.
C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hill.
D. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
68. We can know from the story that ________.
A. the gas engine recharges the batteries as well as powering the car
B. using the brake suggests that the gas engine should work
C. the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles without being recharged
D. the batteries can be recharged at any time you want
69. The author writes the passage mainly to________.
A. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for the Chinese market
B. let people know how to save their gas when driving a car
C. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
D. introduce a new kind of “green” car
70.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A.The hybrid car is environmentally friendly.
B.The hybrid car is unable to get itself recharged.
C.The hybrid car has been made in mass.
D.The hybrid car can decide what power to use
