A(2-13班)
A woman heads into popular New York City coffee shop on a cold winter morning. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk at a busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy,” the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These are the common situations we may see every day.
However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.
Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for something they bought?)
In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type) were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions, and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five people they met passed their politeness test— making New York the most polite city in the study.
56. What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?
A. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.
B. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude.
C. People are not as polite as they used to.
D. People don't care about manners any more.
57. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?
A. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.
B. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.
C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.
D. The study was reported in many cities of the world.
58. What is found in the study?
A. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.
B. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.
C. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.
D. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.

Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but—regardless of whether it is or isn't - we won't do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn (庄严的)-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be kept.
A1 Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth," as if only recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and — without major technological breakthroughs - we can't do much about it.
From 2003 to 2050, the world 's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billon to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase if energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (排放) (mainly,CO2)will be 42% higher in 2050. But that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we force the world's poor to live in poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.
No government will take strict restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书).It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn't reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.
The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a possible disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels (矿物燃料) or dealing with it.
