ENERGY SHORTAGE: HOW TO SOLVE IT
China was sweating a lot over the last summer,
not only because of the continual heat waves. Lack
of coal and oil also resulted in a power
shortage. According to news reports, many cities
had
to restrict the power usage for air
conditioning and illumination, and thousands of
manufacturers
in Shanghai had to reschedule
their production to evenings or weekends.
As
it is, energy has become one of the biggest
problems the world is faced with today. Many
scientists and economists point out that our
natural resources are very much limited. If we
keep
consuming our resources at the present
rate, they warn, the world will soon be running
out of
oil, coal and metals, and this will
certainly lead to a serious energy crisis
threatening mankind's
survival.
The
majority of the world's people have responded with
a clamor for more strict conservation of
our
natural resources. This is urgently necessary,
indeed. It must be realized that much of our
energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or
electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things
go
on like that, we will eventually leave for
our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch
of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to
make serious efforts to enhance energy efficiency,
reduce the number of high energy-consuming
projects, and cut down energy waste of any form so
as to slow down the present drain on our
limited resources.
But conservation alone is
not all the answer. It is obvious that, even if we
save much energy
by using it carefully, our
natural resources, however abundant, will run out
ultimately. And when
they are gone they are
gone for ever, for resources can not reproduce
themselves. In the long
run, developing new
sources of energy and increasing the use of new
and renewable energy are more
important ways
to solve the energy problem. As we know,
governments of some European countries,
such
as Germany and Italy, have worked out all sorts of
incentive programs to encourage people
to use
solar energy. And recently some scientists have
asserted that China has abundant wind energy
re serve, which could be vital to properly
solve the country's energy issue. So, searching
unexplored areas for new supplies seems to be
the only way out of our energy-shortage
predicament.)

B.A well-known actress and a newspaper editor. √
C.A movie star and one of her fans.
D.A
movie star and a TV interviewer.
解析:[听力原文]19-21
W: I think there should be
greater restrictions placed on the press and the
stories they print.
I can't open a newspaper
or magazine without reading stories full of false
information about myself
or people I know.
It's get ting...
M: Sorry, but I can't
believe that you're actually complaining about
free publicity. I mean I
remember, Shelley,
before you were famous, you were begging us to
write features about
you...anything...
W:
If you would just let me finish of course the
press have been important. I'm an actress and
I understand the power of the press. But the
thing is, I rarely seem to read anything true
about
myself these days... The point I'm
trying to make here is that famous people have
families with
feelings.
M: Oh, sorry.
You're really hurt by that particular article last
week.
W: To increase circulation and make more
money, certain newspapers continue to print those
stories
when it's obvious that they're not
true.
M: But I think we have to consider the
relationship between fame, the public and the
press. The
public are fascinated by fame and
scandal, and they love to read about their
favorite stars.
W: I'm sick of gutter-press
making up stories. It's irresponsible and it
messes up people's life.
M: The problem is,
it's not always clear what's true and what isn't.
I mean, if a newspaper prints
something
scandalous or embarrassing about a famous person,
they're bound to deny it, but that
doesn't
mean it's not true.
W: Are you trying to
say...
M: No smoke without fire, if you ask
me.
19. What is the probable relationship
between the two speakers?

interest in scandals than truth.

actors and actresses establish their fame.

W: Mark really needs to see this article in
Psychology Weekly.
M: Why? What's it on?
W: Reasons for negative behavior patterns—like
habitual lateness...
M: You're right. That's
Mark. He's never on time. So what does it say?
W: That people who are always late often do it
for a reason—either conscious or unconscious.
It could be an expression of anger and
resentment—or a way of resisting authority. It
could even
be anxiety.
M: Well, I don't
know. In Mark's case, I think it's because he
wants to be noticed.
W: That's the next reason
in the article—the need for attention. They give
the example of movie
stars who used to
make these grand entrances.
M: That's not
really Mark's style though—he's so quiet.
W:
What gets me is that he's late for his friends all
the time—but not for other things, like
work.
M: Well...but they might deduct pay for that.
W: Exactly. You know, sometimes I'm tempted to
tell him to come at, say, seven, and everybody
else at 7: 15. Then maybe we wouldn't have to
wait so long.
M: We have to try something. You
know, he confessed to me one day that he was even
late for his
sister's wedding. She was really
angry.
W: I remember that. He was in the
wedding so they couldn't start until he got there.
M: Maybe you should slip that magazine under
his door. And hope he gets the message.

I knew it wouldn't
be long before they discovered my escape from the
boat house where they had
locked me up, but
now I had no choice except to go on. I stumbled up
the path which rose steeply
to the top of the
cliff. Once there, I stopped for a moment to get
my breath back, looking out
as I did so across
the sea. I could see the steamer which came across
once a week from the mainland
making its way
towards the harbour. From where I stood, it looked
like a toy or model someone
had built. I began
waving my arms in the air, then I removed my
jacket and used that too to attract
attention.
But it all seemed hopeless as the steamer sailed
steadily on towards the mouth of the
harbour.
I began to shout, in a last desperate attempt to
stop her, and when my throat was quite
dry, and my arms aching from the effort
I had made, then at the last moment the miracle
happened.
The steamer began to slow up, and
then to move in, away from the harbour and what
awaited her
there.

D.A deposit.
解析:[听力原文]29-32
A good way to
see the USA is by car. Americans love their
automobiles and in the past fifty years
they
have developed a vast network of roads and
freeways to help them reach their destinations.
As few visitors have their own cars, renting
one is the next best thing. You will need a valid
driver's license and either international
credit cards, or a deposit.
You should start
out with a working knowledge of the road.
Regulations vary from state to state
and this
can be very confusing to a newcomer. For ex ample,
in some states it is legal to turn
right at a
red light if there is no approaching traffic,
while in other states you will be fined
for
this action. Throughout the country it is
forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped
to let off children.
The size of the
country may startle you at first and you may be
surprised at the spectacular physical
beauty.
When the first pioneers began to expand west into
the wildness, the natural resources
of the
land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million
acres of land was covered by virgin forest.
Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it
soon became apparent that the government would
have to take action or the natural beauty of
the land would be lost forever.
29. What is
not needed for a visitor to rent a car?

symbolic significance of a specific color.
subtle cultural connotation of colors. √
influence of Westernization on Asian people's
outlook.
ive lessons Western businessmen
learned in Asia.
解析:[听力原文]33-35
Hong Kong
is a city inclined toward red; in Thailand the
color is yellow; India leans toward reds
and
oranges. To an Asian colors are infused with
beliefs, religious and otherwise. To the Chinese,
red is very lucky, but to Thais yellow brings
good fortune. The combination of blue, black, and
white is, to the Chinese, suggestive of a
funeral.
Many Western businessmen believe that
most Asians have become Westernized in their
outlook, but
Westernization and education do
not usually completely replace the culture and
beliefs of an
Asian's forefathers. They tend
instead to make a more intricate alliance between
his culture and
religious bonds. The approach
required to sell an Asian any commodity must
follow the basic formula
of catering to
national pride, acknowledging equality, and
understanding the Asian's beliefs.
Color is a
touchy thing. Advertisers are advised to take into
consideration the religious and
superstitious
beliefs connected with colors before using them.
The color combinations of green
and purple are
acceptable throughout Asia, but using one or both
of these colors is no guarantee
of sales, as a
prominent manufacturer of water-recreation
products learned in Malaysia. its home
office
received heated requests from its Malaysian
distributors to stop shipments on all products
colored green. The distributors reported that
numerous customers associated the color green with
the jungle and illness.

填空项1:__________________ (正确答案:headquarters)
解析:[听力原文]36-46
London is the center of the
international art market and Sotheby's, which has
its (36) headquarters
there, is the world's
biggest and oldest seller of art and antiques. If
you were lucky enough
to own a priceless
to sell it, you would probably put it up for
auction at Sotheby's.
Sotheby's auctions are
(38) attended by some of the world's richest
people, who spend millions
of pounds on art
and antiques each year. (39) Consequently, the
company is very proud of its status
and its
250-year-old (40) reputation. But, earlier this
year, that reputation came under threat,
when
a journalist (41) accused Sotheby's staff of
bringing art treasures to London illegally.
If
these (42) allegations are true, they will
severely damage London's (43) credibility as a
center
of the world's art trade.
As if
that were not bad enough, (44) London's art
dealers and auction houses are facing an even
bigger threat from European Union regulations.
If passed in Britain, the EU laws would make
London
a much less attractive place to
purchase art treasures. Buyers and sellers would
then look
elsewhere for the best prices and
could stop coming to London altogether.
The
problems began last year, (45) when a journalist
from Britain's Times newspaper, Peter Watson,
claimed that senior staff at Sotheby's were at
the center of a widespread smuggling operation.
He made his allegations in a book and
television program, which used hidden camera to
film Sotheby's
staff. Watson says (46) the
program, which was shown last February, proves
that art treasures
were being illegally
exported to London on a regular basis, and that
the international art trade
needs to be
cleaned up.
