business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing
and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,
and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon
or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its
supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the
global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for
example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution. It is now tryuing hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth
in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting
down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than
50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement
of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the
limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to forests
D. it makes growth hard to continue
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources
D. encourage energy conservation
B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources
D. deal with the major challenge
B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market.
D. To advocate sustainable development.

think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you"re wrong. Many Americans are learning
to climb in city gyms (体育馆). Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and
small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and (保护带) around your chest to hold
you. There are ropes (绳索) tied to your. The ropes hold you in place so that you don"t fall. A beginner"s wall
is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you
to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it"s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it"s not. The most
difficult is an your fear. It"s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it"s difficult not to feel fear. But when
you move away from the wall, the and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until
you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it"s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body,
especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your
mind and your body can become stronger.
B. It is impossible to build up one"s body by climbing.
C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.
D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.
B. to control your fear
C. to move away from the wall
D. to climb straight up
B. exercise
C. excitement
D. tiredness
B. To prove the basic need for climbing.

everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet
products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for
products that harm us psychologically and physically (身体上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain
to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption
of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go
straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word"diet" in food
labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don"t have to work to get results. Diet
products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and
struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the
physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead
of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are
potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this,
we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes
from using them.
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories
B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy
B. 
C. 
D.

Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网). Just as a tune-up
for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up your heating and cooling system can improve
efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filters monthly or as needed.
For central air conditioning systems and room sir conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal
government"s symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).
Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning Ceiling fans do a great job of
circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器) and cut
costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.
Let a programmable thermostat "remember for you" to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your
daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable
house without wasting energy and cresting pollution all day while you are at work.
Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner
and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.
Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing
reflective bricks on your roof.
Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to
avoid beat build-up.
Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which provide
bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent Jess beat and lasting up
to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯).
Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you
drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one
that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.
Carpool. The average U.S. commutes (乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice
a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.
B. control room temperature
C. turn off the air conditioner
D. reduce room air pollution
B. turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house
C. keeping your south-facing windows open during the day
D. using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs
B. sharing cars with others on workdays
C. turning off everything not in use
D. reducing 10% of your car trips every year
B. fuel-saving tips
C. do it yourself tips
D. environment-protecting
actually increases the risk.
Researchers from the University of lows based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked
at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies
that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen
helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the
United States.
But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps
by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take
into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer-people with fair skin and freckles (雀斑), for
example-are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more
often.
The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove
how well the products had been applied, said the new study.
B. facts
C. faults
D. failures
B. are more in danger of skin cancer
C. can be free from the harm of the sun
D. often expose themselves to the sun
B. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen
C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America
B. Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C. Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D. Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles
the then President Bush. Through her on efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards
(广告牌) across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment
(Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F.A.C.E. worldwide and it is the world"s
largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children"s Forest" project in every national
park. In 1992, she was invited one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil
as part of the Voices of the future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the
Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees!
Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kids" Yards-the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and
now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
