题目列表(包括答案和解析)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

How often do you travel by plane?

  How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint.In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller.But how much CO2 are we responsible for?

  A new book by Mike Berners Lee(a leading expert in carbon footprint)might be able to help.How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created:the ingredients, the electricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging.It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation.And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.

  But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink.From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint(568ml)of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer.This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging.The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager from the supermarket.

  Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work.Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before.To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food.So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of CO2.However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200g.In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.

  So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams.And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed.Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital.And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!

  So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes.Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.

(1)

Grand Opening

Bentwood Truck Museum

Saturday, November 8, at 10:00 A. M.

      After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open. The old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed. When Roger Haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.

      During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past.  The museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon. There is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine. Our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck. Our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck.

      You can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice - cream truck. Rides are $ 2.00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.

      Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! There is something to interest everyone who attends. The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.

● To get to Bentwood Truck Museum, take Route 29 (Kingston Highway) to Palmer Street.

● Go south on Palmer Street for one block and take a left onto Norman Drive.

       STOCKHOLM, Oct.11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese writer Mo Yan has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Peter Englund, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday.

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 is awarded to Chinese writer Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary," said Englund at a press conference.

Mo Yan, a pseudonym for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong province in eastern China.His parents were farmers.

As a 12-year-old during the Cultural Revolution he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory.In 1976 he joined the People's Liberation Army and during this time began to study literature and write.His first short story was published in a literary journal in 1981.

"In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth.This is apparent in his novel Hong gaoliang jiazu (1987, in English Red Sorghum 1993)," said the academy in a statement of Mo's biography.

The book consists of five stories that unfold and interweave in Gaomi in several turbulent decades in the 20th century, with depictions of bandit culture, the Japanese occupation and the harsh conditions endured by poor farm workers, according to the biography.Red Sorghum was successfully filmed in 1987, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition, the academy commented in the biographical statement.

In addition to his novels, Mo Yan has published many short stories and essays on various topics.In spite of his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the statement added.

Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French and Japanese and many other languages.

Last year's literature prize went to Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer.

Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite, established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895.The first awards were handed out six years later.
