BEIJING – Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all cost, China’s top economic chief is calling on officials to calm down and spare a thought for the environment.
Zhang Ping, who heads China’s National Development and Reform Commission, the central economic planning agency, said only five or six of China’s 30 provinces are targeting annual economic growth of 8 percent or 9 percent.
The remaining provinces are aiming for growth rates of more than 10 percent this year, with some wanting to double economic output in the coming five years.
“China has a planned energy supply of about 4 billion cubic tons of coal equivalent (等量的) for the next five years, and this is not enough to meet demands for economic growth to double,” he was quoted as saying on the news portal Sina. com.
Beijing is increasingly concerned with the ambitions of Chinese provinces across the country to chase high growth despite the central government’s urgent request for a more moderate and sustainable (可持续的) pace of expansion.
Years of rapid economic growth have taken a toll onChina’s environment, with Beijing trying to remove some of the damage now. It has an annual growth target of 7 percent for the next five years, well down from last year’s 10 percent.
Zhang said Beijing has asked local governments to take into account the supply of “energy, environment, water and land” to set more reasonable growth target.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The supply of the coal in China is not sufficient for the next five years.
B.Zhang Ping is an expert and economic chief from www. sina.com.
C.Few Chinese provinces are aiming for economic growth rates of less than 10%.
D.Many Chinese provinces are alarmed by Beijing.
小题2:The underlined phrase “taken a toll on” in the sixth paragraph means “_______”.

小题3:The general idea of the whole passage can be that _________.
A.China’s economy is increasing at a fast speed.
B.China’s top chief lays more emphasis on the environment
C.economic high growth should go hand in hand with environment concern.
D.all Chinese provinces should slow down their economic growth rates
小题4:What could be the best title for the news?

解析

试题分析:本文叙述了我国绝大多数省份制订的年度经济增长指标让有关部门和人士忧心忡忡,环境、能源等问题日益突出,不可等闲视之,可持续性发展是解决之道。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第二段的后半部分提到在中国的三十个省份中,只有五六个省份把年经济增长率目标定为8%和9%,由此可知比重很小,第三段的前半部分提到剩余的省份都把今年经济增长率目标定在10%以上,由此可知C项内容正确。煤炭供应不能满足随后五年需要的假设是经济增长翻倍,故A项不恰当。故选C。
小题2:猜测词义题。根据画线部分后面提到北京现在正在努力消除一些危害,由此可推断画线部分短语表示“带来破坏”。故选B。
小题3:主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道,第一段是文章的中心段,过度渴望发展的同时,应该冷静下来考虑环境问题,由此可知经济的快速增长应该与环境保护同步进行。故选C。
小题4:标题归纳题。既要保持经济增长,又要考虑环境、能源、水、土地等问题,以确定合理的增长目标,因此必须采用可持续性发展战略。此外,倒数第三段的后半部分也是线索提示。故选D。
点评:标题归纳题时还要遵循三个原则,即注意题的醒目性、概括性和针对性。醒目性——我们所判断的标题如果放在文章的最前面,应该能使读者一看到标题就对其内容发生兴趣,即,吸引读者的眼球;概括性——指标题应最大限度地覆盖全文,囊括文章的主要内容,体现文章的主题;针对性——我们所选的标题不能偏题,必须指向具体文意,因此也应具备强烈的针对性。

举一反三
Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.
The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system"s keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company"s server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit. 
Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell. 
In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.
According to Eight19"s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19"s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.
小题1:The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______ .
A.make use of B.come up withC.look intoD.deal with
小题2:What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?
A.Buy a scratch card. B.Recharge it outside.
C.Buy another solar cell.D.Return it to the company.
小题3:How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?
A.Around $10.B.Around $80.C.Around $90.D.Around $180.
小题4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that  ____________.
A.Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell
B.using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money
C.few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity
D.the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells
小题5:What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.
B.Eight19: a creative British Company.
C.Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.
D.Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Energy.

An Italian couple are to become the world"s oldest divorcees, after the 99 - year – old husband found that his 96 - year - old wife had an affair(婚外情)in the 1940s.
The Italian man, called by lawyers in the case as Antonio C, was looking through an old drawer when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.    
In spite of the time that had passed since the affair, he was so upset that he immediately asked his wife of 77years, named as Rosa C, whether it was true, and demanded a divorce.
Stricken by the guilt, she reportedly admitted everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision, though her children also did much more work.
She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week, which made people know the truth.
The couple are now preparing to split; though the marriage they built has lasted over nearly eight decades- they have five children,  a dozen grandchildren and one great – grand child.
The discovery of the letters was the final problem for their marriage which had already run into difficulty-10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later.
The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the couple"s southern blood 一 he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia: while his wife was born in Naples. The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio served as a young officer.
The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest figures – the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK.
That pair ended their 36 - year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their l00th birthdays.They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later.

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art, Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art(美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don"t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.、
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

A growing number of college students are applying to take entry tests for medical and dental (牙科的) schools among increasing graduate unemployment in Korea.
“I’ve decided to apply for the test to enter a medical college to become a doctor, changing from my original plan to prepare for a lawyer qualification exam in order to get a more stable job in the future,” said a 24-year-old college graduate, Lee, who majored in business administration during his undergraduate schooling.
The new medical and dental school system is getting popularity, attracting an increasing number of students every year since its appearance in 2004, as it is open to all college graduates regardless of their previous majors.
The Education Development introduced the new medical and dental education system, in which college students with bachelor’s degrees are allowed to study medicine or dentistry by taking the Medical Education Test (MET) and Dental Education Test (DET).
Ten medical schools and six dental colleges that have used the new system have received 4,377 applications (申请) for the entrance exams.
Applicants are getting younger compared with those in their 20s representing 76.9 percent of the total. The tests might be easier for students with biology and chemistry majors, but graduates from other majors are also applying for the tests.
Under the existing medical and dental education system, students should take a two-year premedical course followed by a four-year medical course.
Students graduating under the new medical or dental education system are given master’s degrees, while those graduates who studied under the previous system have bachelor’s degrees.
小题1:Why do more and more Korean students apply for medical schools?
