III. Reading Comprehension

Section A (30 points, 2 for each)

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage:

Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low-carbon economy，a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.

“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy”, said Zhou Changyi，director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations，they also should learn something from us，such as water conservation，” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.

He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new type industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.

As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.

Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life-cycle assessment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.

【福建专升本培训第一品牌】

Tobias Becker，head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.

LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life-cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready-to-use stage. For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life-cycle cost，while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.

Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，“The color of future industrialization is green.” The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.

A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors

specialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid. 51．“______” can replace the underlined word “lag”． A．Fall behind

B．Be superior to

C．Attack

D．Fear

52．Which of the following about LCA is TRUE? A．LCA is used to study the impact on a product.

B．LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.

C．LCA shows industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental influence on its initial investment. D．LCA was one of the exhibitions at this year's fair.

53．We can infer ______ from the eleventh paragraph of this passage.

A．Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid business B．Siemens received orders worth 6 billion Euros recently C．Siemens will earn $ 8.8 billion from intelligent power networks D．Siemens' plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future 54．______ about Smart Grid isn't mentioned in the passage. A．Energy-saving

B．Low-cost

C．Security

D．Small in size

55．The best title for the passage ______.

A．Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn From Each Other B．Low-carbon Economy—a Shared Goal C．Intelligent Power Networks D．Two Biggest Markets for Smart Grid

Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage:

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment.

Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV.I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing over which channel to choose from.

第二部分 非选择题

Section B short Answer Questions (15 points, 3 for each)

Directions: Answer each of the following questions in no more than 5 words.

Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results. We want to know whether cigarettes really do cause lung cancer, what causes malnutrition, the decay of cities, or the decay of teeth. We are equally interested in effects: what is the effect of sulphur（硫磺） or lead in the atmosphere, of oil spills and raw sewage in rivers and the sea, of staying up late on the night before an examination?

Cause reasoning may go from cause to effect or from effect to cause. Either way, we reason from what we know to what we want to find out. Sometimes we reason from an effect to a cause and then to another effect. Thus, if we reason that because the lights have gone out, the refrigerator won’t work, we first relate the effect (light out) to the cause (power off) and then relate that cause to another effect (refrigerator not working). This kind of reasoning is called, for short, effect to effect. It is quite common to reason through an extensive chain of causal relations. When the lights go out we might reason in the following causal chain: lights out—power

off—refrigerator not working—temperature will rise—milk will sour. In other words, we diagnose a succession of effects from the power failure, each becoming the cause of the nest.

Causes are classified as necessary, sufficient, or contributory. A necessary cause is one which must be present for the effect to occur, as combustion is necessary to drive a gasoline engine. A sufficient cause is one which can produce an effect unaided, though there may be more than one sufficient cause: a dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark plugs or an empty gas tank will have the same effect. A contributory cause is one which helps to produce an effect but cannot do so by itself, as running though a red light may help cause an accident, though other factors—pedestrians or other cars in the intersection—must also be present.

In establishing or refuting（驳倒） a causal relation it is usually necessary to show the process by which the alleged cause produces the effect. Such an explanation is called causal process. 66. What do people want to do by reasoning?
