PASSAGEONE
Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter, and circulated in taverns and coffee
houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. “The coffee houses particularly are very roomy for a free
conversation,andforreadingataneasierrateallmannerofprintednews,”notedoneobserver.Everythingchanged
in 1833whenthe first mass-audience newspaper,The New York Sun, pioneeredthe use ofadvertising to reducethe
costofnews,thusgivingadvertisers accesstoawideraudience.Thepennypress,followedbyradioandtelevision,
turned news from a two-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a relatively small number of firms
controllingthemedia.
Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house. The internet is making news
moreparticipatory,socialanddiverse, revivingthe discursive characteristics oftheerabeforethe mass media.That
will have profound effects on society and politics. In much of the world, the mass media are flourishing.
Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009. But those global figures mask a sharp decline
inreadershipinrichcountries.
Over the past decade, throughout the Western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news
andkeepingupwitheventsinprofoundlydifferentways.Moststrikingly,ordinarypeopleareincreasinglyinvolved
incompiling,sharing,filtering,discussinganddistributingnews.Twitterletspeopleanywhere,reportwhattheyare
seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Mobile-phone footage ofArab uprisings and
American tornadoes is posted on social-networking sites and shown on television newscasts. Social-networking
siteshelppeoplefind,discussandsharenewswiththeirfriends.
And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite. Technology firms including Google, Facebook
and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via
social networks; many countries now make raw data available through “open government” initiatives. The Internet
lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new
providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to prominence in a very shortspace oftime.And it has
made possible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides an
anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press
baronsandstateoutlets.
In principle, every liberal should celebrate this. A more participatory and social news environment, with a
remarkable diversity and range of news sources, is a good thing. The transformation of the news business is
unstoppable, and attempts to reverse it are doomed to failure.As producers of new journalism, individuals can be
scrupulous with facts and transparent with their sources. As consumers, they can be general in their tastes and
demanding in their standards.And although this transformation does raise concerns, there is much to celebrate in
the noisy, diverse, vociferous, argumentative and stridently alive environment of the news business in the ages of
theinternet.Thecoffeehouseisbuck.Enjoyit.11. Which of the following statements best supports “Now, the news industry is returning to

PASSAGETWO
Paris is like pornography. You respond even if you don’t want to. You turn a corner and see a
vista, and your imagination bolts away. Suddenly you are thinking about what it would be like to live
in Paris, and then you think about all the lives you have not lived. Sometimes, though, when you are
lucky,you onlythink about howmany pleasures the day ahead holds.Then, you feel privileged.
The lobby of the hotel is decorated in red and gold. It gives off a whiff of 19th-century
decadence. Probably as much as any hotel in Paris, this hotel is sexy. I was standing facing the
revolving doors and the driveway beyond.Acar with a woman in the back seat—a woman in a short
skirt and black-leather jacket—pulled up before the hotel door. She swung off and she was wearing
high heels. Normally, my mind would have leaped and imagined a story for this woman. Now it
didn’t. Istood there and told myself.Cheerup.You’rein Paris.
In many ways, Paris is best visited in winter. The tourist crowds are at a minimum, and one is
not being jammed off the narrow sidewalks along the Rue Dauphine. More than this, Paris is like
many other European cities in that the season of blockbuster cultural events tends to begin in mid-to
late fall and so, by the time of winter, most of the cultural treasures of the city are laid out to be
admired.
The other great reason why Paris in winter is so much better than Paris in spring and fall is that
after the end of the August holidays and the return of chic Parisian women to their city, the
restaurant-opening season truly begins hopping. By winter,many of the new restaurants have worked
out their kinks (不足; 困难) and, once the hype has died down, it is possibleto see which restaurants
are actually good and which are merely noisy andcrowded.
Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being, Lincoln said. In Paris it
doesn’t take much to be happy. Outside thehotel, thesky was pale and felt very high up. Iwalked the
few blocks to the Seine and began running along the blue-green river toward the Eiffel Tower. The
tower in the distance was black, and felt strange and beautiful the way that many things built for the
joy of building do. As I ran toward it, because of its lattice structure, the tower seemed obviously
delicate. Seeing it,I felt asense ofprotectiveness.
I think it was this moment of protectiveness that marked the change in my mood and my slowlybecoming thrilled with beingin Paris.
During winter evenings, Paris’s streetlamps have a halo and resemble dandelions. In winter,
when one leaves the Paris street and enters a cafe or restaurant, the light and temperature change
suddenly and dramatically, there is the sense of having discovered something secret. In winter,
because the days are short, there is an urgency to the choices one makes. There is the sense that life
is short and so let us decide onwhat matters.
15. According to the passage, once in Paris one might experience all the following feelings EXCEPT
________.
[A]regret [B]condescension [C]expectation [D]impulse
16.Winter isthe best season to visitParis.Which ofthe followingdoes NOTsupport this statement?
[A]FashionableParisian women return to Paris.
[B]Moreentertainment activities are staged.
[C]There are moregood restaurants to choose from.
[D]Thereare fewer tourists in Paris.
17.In the eyes ofthe author,winter in Paris issignificant because of________.
[A]theatmosphereof itsevenings [B]itsimplications forlife
[C]thecontrast it brings [D]thediscovery onemakes
18.At theend of thepassage, theauthor found himselfinamood of________.
[A]excitement [B]thoughtfulness [C]loneliness [D]joyfulness
PASSAGETHREE
If you want to know why Denmark is the world’s leader in wind power, start with a three-hour
car trip from the capital Copenhagen—mind the bicyclists—to the small town of Lem on the far west
coast of Jutland. You’ll feel it as you cross the 6.8 kin-long Great Belt Bridge: Denmark’s bountiful
wind, so fierce even on a calm summer’s day that it threatens to shove your car into the waves below.
But wind itself is only part of the reason. In Lem, workers in factories the size of aircraft hangars
build the wind turbines sold by Vestas, the Danish company that has emerged as the industry’s top
manufacturer around the globe. The work is both gross and fine; employees weld together massive
curved sheets of steel to make central shafts as tall as a 14-story building, and assemble engine
housings (机器外罩) that hold some 18,000 separate parts. Most impressive are the turbine’s blades,
which scoop the wind with each sweeping revolution.As smooth as an Olympic swimsuit and honed
to aerodynamic perfection, each blade weighs in at 7,000 kg, and they’re what help make Vestas’
turbines the best in the world. “The blade is where the secret is,” says Erik Therkelsen, a Vestas
executive. “If wecan make aturbine, it’s sold.”
But technology, Like the wind itself, is just one more part of the reason for Denmark’s
dominance. In the end, it happened because Denmark had the political and public will to decide that
it wanted to be a leader—and to follow through. Beginning in 1979, the government began a
determined programme of subsidies and loan guarantees to build up its wind industry. Copenhagen
covered 30% of investment costs, and guaranteed loans for large turbine exporters such as Vestas. It
also mandated that utilities purchase wind energy at a preferential price—thus guaranteeing investors
a customer base. Energy taxes were channeled into research centres, where engineers crafted designs
that would eventually produce cutting-edge giants likeVestas’3-megawatt (MW)V90 turbine.
As a result, wind turbines now dot Denmark. The country, gets more than 19% of its electricity
from the breeze (Spain and Portugal, the next highest countries, get about 10%) and Danish
companies control one-third of the global wind market, earning billions in exports and creating a
national champion from scratch. “They were out early in driving renewables, and that gave them the
chance to be a technology leader and a job-creation leader,” says Jake Schmidt, international climate
policy director for the NewYork City-based Natural Resources Defense Council. “They have alwaysbeen oneortwo steps ahead ofothers.”
The challenge now for Denmark is to help the rest of the world catch up. Beyond wind, the
country (pop. 5.5 million) is a world leader in energy efficiency, getting more GDPper watt than any
other member of the E.U. Carbon emissions are down 13.3% from 1990 levels and total energy
consumption has barely moved, even as Denmark’s economy continued to grow at a healthy clip.
With Copenhagen set to host all- important U.N. climate change talks in December—where the
world hopes for a successor to the expiring Kyoto Protocol—and the global recession beginning to
hit environmental plans in capitals everywhere, Denmark’sexamplecouldn’tbemoretimely.“We’ll try to
make Denmark a showroom,” says Prime MinisterAnders Fogh Rasmussen. “You can reduce energy
useand carbon emissions,andachieve economicgrowth.”
It’s tempting to assume that Denmark is innately green, with the kind of Scandinavian good
conscience that has made it such a pleasant global citizen since, oh, the whole Viking thing. But the
country’s policies were actually born from a different emotion, one now in common currency: fear.
When the 1973 oil crisis hit, 90% of Denmark’s energy came from petroleum, almost all of it
imported. Buffeted by the same supply shocks that hit the rest of the developed world, Denmark
launched a rapid drive for energy conservation, to the point of introducing car-free Sundays and
asking businesses to switch off tights during closing hours. Eventually the Mideast oil started
flowing again, and the Danes themselves began enjoying the benefits of the petroleum and natural
gas in their slice of the North Sea. It was enough to make them more than self-sufficient. But unlike
most other countries, Denmark never forgot the lessons of 1973, and kept driving for greater energy
efficiency and a more diversified energy supply. The Danish parliament raised taxes on energy to
encourage conservation and established subsidies and standards to support more efficient buildings.
“It all started out without any regard for the climate or the environment,” says Svend Auken, the
former head of Denmark’s opposition Social Democrat Party and the architect of the country’s
environmental policies in the 1990s. “But today there’s a consensus that we need to build renewable
power.”
To the rest of the world, Denmark has the power of its example, showing that you can stay rich
and grow green at the same time. “Denmark has proven that acting on climate can be a positive
experience, not just painful,” says NRDC’s Schmidt. The real pain could come from failing to follow
intheir footsteps.
19. Which of the following is NOT cited as a main reason for Denmark’s world leadership in wind
power?
[A]Technology. [B]Wind. [C]Government drive. [D]Geographical location.
20.Whatdoes theauthormean by“Denmark’s examplecouldn’t bemore timely”?
[A]Denmark’s energy-saving efforts cannot be followed byother countries.
[B]Denmark can manufacture morewind turbines forother countries.
[C]Denmark’senergy-saving success offers theworld auseful model.
[D]Denmark aims toshowtheworld that itcan develop even faster.
21.Whichof thefollowing is NOTimplied in thepassage?
[A]Not tosave energy could lead to serious consequences.
[B]Energy savingcannot go together with economicgrowth.
[C]Energy savingefforts can be painful but positive.
[D]Denmark is apowerful leader inthe globalwind market.
PASSAGEFOUR
The first clue came when I got my hair cut. The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea
but a complimentary nail-polish change while I waited for my hair to dry. Maybe she hoped this little
amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four monthswhilenursing ourhair back towhatever natural color welong ago forgot.
Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the
microwave aisle. When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online, the salesman
offered a preemptive discount, lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store. That
night, for the first time, I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose
theirjob in thenextyear,theycan return it.
Suddenly everything’s on sale. The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive
it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day. During the flush times, salespeople were surly,
waiters snobby.But now the customer rules, just for showing up.There’s more room to stretch out on
the flight, even in a coach. The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness, with scarcely a
shopper in sight. Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff.
Finger the scarf, then start to walk away, and its price floats silkily downward. When the mechanic
calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000, it’s time to
break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause. You really don’t even have to say
anything pitiful before he’ll offertoknock a few hundred dollars off.
Restaurants are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality, especially around Wail Street: Trinity
Place offers $3 drinks at happy hour any day the market goes down, with the slogan “Market tanked?
Get tanked! “ —which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell. The “21” Club has decided that
men no longer need to wear ties, so long as they bring their wallets. Food itself is friendlier: you
notice more comfort food, a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoy now that you can
get a table practically anywhere. New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new
restaurant demeanor as “extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation.” “You need to hug
thecustomer,”oneowner told him.
There’s a chance that eventually we’ll return all this kindness with the extravagant spending that
was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy. But human nature is funny
that way. In dangerous times, we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss, suspecting
that it must be too good to be true. Is the store with the supercheap flat screens going to go bust and
thus not be there to honour the “free” extended warranty? Is there something wrong with that free
cheese? Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude, who walk in
demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn. These store owners wince as they
sense bad habits forming: Will people expect discounts forever? Will their hard-won brand luster be
forevercheapened, especially for itemswhose allure depends ontheirbeing ridiculouslypriced?
There will surely come a day when things go back to “normal”; retail sales even inched up in
January after sinking for the previous six months. But I wonder what it will take for us to see those
$545 Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable? Bargain-hunting can be addictive
regardless of the state of the markets, and haggling is a low-risk, high-value contact sport. Trauma
digs deep into habit, like my 85- year-old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet “the bomb
shelter.” The children of the First Depression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after
the skies cleared. They came to be called the “greatest generation.”As we learn to be decent stewards
of our resources, who knows what might come of it? We have lived in an age of wanton waste, and
there isvalue in practicing conservation that goes far beyond ourown bottom line.
22.Whichof thefollowing best depicts theretailers now?
[A]Bad-tempered. [B]Highly motivated.
[C]Over-friendly. [D]Deeply frustrated.
23.Whatdoes theauthormean by“thenewlyperfected art oftheconsidered pause”?

[B]Customers have got asense ofsuperiority.[C]Customers have learned howto bargain.
[D]Customers have higherdemands forservice.

The Guangdong provincial government is soliciting opinions on the management of lost property. The new
regulation stipulates that if no one claims a lost item, the person who hands it in will get 10 percent of its auction
earnings as a reward. The owner of the lost property can also voluntarily offer a reward of 10 percent of its value.
Should people be rewarded for returning lost property? Citizens and experts have totally different views. The
following areopinionsfrom both sides. Readthe excerpts carefullyand write your responsein about300words, in
whichyoushould:
1.summarizebrieflytheopinionsfrombothsides;
2.giveyourcomment.

Recently,Guangdong provincialgovernmentstipulates thatif nooneclaims a lostitem, the personwhohands

arewardof10percentofitsvalue.
However, citizens are doubtful about the method, saying greedy people are not likely to return items for a
mere10percentreward,andnoblepeoplewillreturntheitemwithoutrequiringareward.
Wang Jun, a college student, says that the new regulation has still a long way to go before its actual
implementation.Thefollowingarehispointsofview:
Firstly, returning lost property is an action taken out of human beings’inherent impetus, which says that lost
propertyalways belongstotheowners.Thus,uponpicking upalostitem, onewouldimmediately trytoreturnitto
theownerorsome authoritythatcanhelpfindtheowner.However,though theregulation ismadetoencourage the
traditional Chinese virtue of voluntarily returning lost property, the forceful way of rewarding human beings’
intuitive action makes things weird, because itappears thatpeople may return lostpropertyjust fora reward.Thus,
ittotallydistortstheessenceofreturninglostpropertyandrelegatesthisvirtue.
Secondly, according to the regulation, if no one claims a lost item, the person who hands it in will get 10
percentofits auctionearnings asareward.Whataboutitems whicharetootrivialtogotoauction?Andwhatis the
basis for the number of 10 percent? If the item is invaluable, does the regulation imply that someone who hands it
in will become a millionaire overnight? If so, people may compete to find the lost invaluable item which would
giverisetodisputesandevensocialproblems.
Lastly, going to auction is not the only way to deal with lost property. For precious or even rare items which
could hit the headline, if no one claims them, authorities had better preserve them in museums so as to keep their
value. For practical lost items, especially daily necessities, the best way to keep their value is donating them to
thoseinneed,includingtheimpoverished,thehomelessandthedisaster-stricken.
Experts
The regulation, once implemented, will benefit both parties, a paper said quoting an expert. The move is
currentlyunderpublicconsultation.ApublicconsultationwascompletedbyFebruary20thandrevealedaspreadof
opinions.According to the survey, 60 percent of the interviewees agreed with the rewarding mechanism, while 20
percent were against it. Most interviewees regard a reward as a token of appreciation that encourages more people
to exercise good behavior. Legal experts have concerns over the feasibility of the law and advise a detailed
implementation plan, but at least one lawyer asserts it supports the implementation of the Law of the Right to
Propertyandisinlinewiththeprogressofmoderncivilization.
