21、In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable 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 trying 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 public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the 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 of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.

【1】The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that .

A．It makes the world warmer

B．it consumes natural resources

C．it brings severe damage to forests

D．it makes growth hard to continue

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A．China lacks wind and solar energy

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

【3】To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can .

A．cut public expenses

B．forbid carbon emission

C．develop public resources

D．encourage energy conservation

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce a new business model

B．To compare two business models

C．To predict a change of the global market

D．To advocate sustainable development

22、Before Douglas Engelbart, computers were as big as rooms and used mostly for handling numbers. But in the late 1960s, Engelbart invented almost everything your personal computer has today: a mouse, hypertext, screen sharing and more. Engelbart was adding real-time edits, graphics, hyper-linking and sharing screens — all before the birth of the World Wide Web. “The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing,” said Engelbart, and as it turns out, he held all the right cards.

If he’d been British, Engelbart would have been knighted (授爵), but the Portland, Oregon, native instead lived out the rest of his years as an unsung hero, trying to fry even bigger fish in Silicon Valley. His blueprint of the Internet was totally different from today’s profit-driven, streamlined version. Engelbart imagined an information system built on the backbones of cooperation and education, all meant to enhance the collective human mind. He wanted a computerized network of real-time, human-wide cooperation, with the open-source spirit of Wikipedia and the purposefulness of Change.org.

By the late 70s and early 80s, Engelbart and his ideas were cast aside in favour of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, along with their profit-generating vision for personal computing, and a user-friendly approach to the Internet. Engelbart’s team of researchers abandoned him, and he had a lesser position at a company called Tymshare while still battling with his pie-in-the-sky visions of a better world. Even worse, when Engelbart’s mouse invention gained widespread use years later, he never gained the profits — it had been licensed to Apple for around $40,000, Engelbart revealed.

And if Engelbart had won? “Hard to say,” says Jefferson of the Internet Archive in San Francisco. “The Web was bound to grow in ways its founders never intended,” he says. He notes his belief that the same spirit of knowledge-sharing and cooperation Engelbart tirelessly pushed for will one day become part of our fast-evolving Internet, even if a commercial layer clouds the original vision. But even so, fame is difficult to achieve; it often ridicules great thinkers like Galileo or Tesla, only to meet them decades after death. Granted, Engelbart was eventually allowed into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1998, and into the Pioneers Circle in the Internet Hall of Fame after his death, but the heart of his dream has yet to be realized.

【1】The expression “his pie-in-the-sky visions of a better world” in Para 3 refers to ________.

A．the function of computer data processing

B．a real-time video chat on the Internet

C．a user-friendly approach to the Internet

D．an Internet of knowledge-sharing and cooperation

【2】Most probably Engelbart’s greatest regret was that ________.

A．he was too crazy about his vision of the Internet when totally ignored

B．he was not profitably rewarded for his landmark inventions of computer

C．he was admitted to the U. S. National Inventors Hall of Fame too late

D．the Internet was commercially oriented against his original intention

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Engelbart rose and fell in his all-out battle over the future of the Internet.

B．Engelbart could have succeeded in the Internet with his landmark inventions.

C．Engelbart’s achievements have never been recognized.

D．Engelbart didn’t get any profit for his mouse invention.

【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Who Benefits from the Internet?

B．Who Lost the Internet Wars?

C．Who pioneered the World Wide Web?

D．Who Commercialized the Internet?

23、   A human can’t easily enter another species’ social group to examine and influence what makes the animals tick. But the right robot can open up a clever way in.

Scientists have developed a robotic “fish” called SoFi in the hope of getting closer to marine life than ever before. The fish, which was developed by researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean. Fittingly, the robot has a fisheye lens (鱼眼镜头) on board that can take photos and videos of the marine it sees. Robert Katzschmann, lead author of the study, said: “We are all in an aroused state at the thought of the possibility of being able to use a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own.”

While most underwater robots are tied to boats, SoFi has a much simpler and lightweight system that’s found in smartphones. To swim, the motor causes water to flow into two balloon-like chamber in the fish’s tail. As one chamber (室) expands, it bends to one side, and then when the motors push water to the other channel, that one bends in the otherdirection. Together, these actions create a side-to-side motion, just like a real fish. The researchers hope that these realistic movements will help to ensure the robot is as safe in its environment as possible.

Daniela Rus, who also worked on the study, said: “The robot is able to closely observe marine life and appears not to be disturbing to real fish.” So far the robot has been tested in the Rainbow Reef in Fiji, where it swims at depths of more than 50 feet for 40 minutes.

【1】Why have scientists developed the robotic fish?

A.To get close to observe marine life. B.To prove the progress in robot technology.

C.To make the field of marine life interesting. D.To test the intelligence of fishes in the ocean.

【2】How did Robert Katzschmann feel about their study of SoFi?

A.Curious. B.Excited. C.Nervous. D.Worried.

【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A.Add more information to their study. B.Convey the researchers’ satisfaction.

C.Compare different underwater robots. D.Explain how the robotic fish works safely.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Robotic “Fish” that Can Record Marine Life in Detail

B.MIT’s Researchers who Have Developed Robotic Fish

C.Underwater robots that Influence Species in the Ocean

D.Rainbow Reef where the Robotic Fish Has Been Tested
