China needs to set absolute restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions(释放) if it is to fulfill its aim to set up a carbon market over the next five years, a cabinet office think tank said in a paper.
“It is only under an absolute emissions cap that carbon emission permits will become a scarce resource and possess the qualities of a commodity,” the State Council‟s Development and Research Center said in a paper in Seeking Truth, a magazine published by the ruling party.
China has traditionally baulked(犹豫) at the idea of emissions caps either on a regional basis or for industrial sectors, invoking a key Kyoto protocol principle that puts most of the burden of cutting green-house gases on developed countries.
China, the world ‘s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has also been under external pressure to make stronger commitments in the battle against global warming .The country has been the biggest beneficiary(受益人) of the Clean Development Mechanism, a UN-backed scheme that allows industrialized countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reductions or CERs from low-carbon projects launched in developing nations.
However, the European Union, the biggest buyer of CERs, has said it will not accept CERs generated by Chinese projects once the first phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme ends in 2012, though projects already registered will remain valid.
小题1: What does China hope to do in the next five years?
A.to cut its emissions by 45%
B.to set up a carbon market
C.to have lower emissions than other countries
D.to increase both emissions and production
小题2: China agreeing to limit emissions now because______
A.they care about the environment
B.emissions harm people’s health
C.of pressure from other countries
D.they want more profit for their factories
小题3:How does the CER scheme work?
A.Countries can buy the right to produce as much carbon emissions as they like.
B.All countries are required to set a carbon emissions cap and can then get certificates on how developed their environmental programme is.
C.Developed countries are allowed to produce more emissions than industrial countries.
D.Developed countries can buy the right to produce more carbon emissions from developing countries that produce less.
小题4: What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Air pollution is still increasing the problem of climate change all over the world.
B.China is still resisting cutting emissions as it is necessary for the manufacturing industry.
C.China believes that it is free from meeting international standards on emissions.
D.China will need to cut its emissions in the near future in order to keep up with the international community

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie(卡), unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A.diet products can bring out people’s potential
B.people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C.diet products are misleading people
D.people are fed up with diet products
小题2:One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ____.
A.resist a variety of diet foods
B.hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C.pay attention to their own eating habits
D.watch their weight rather than their diet
小题3:The purpose of writing this passage is _________.
A.to warn people of the side effect of diet products
B.to tell people how to lose weight
C.to advise people to eat diet products
D.to introduce some diet products
小题4: Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual(智力的) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively in order to have the ability to become leaders. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks , and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is suitable. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work:it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
小题1:We can know from the passage that the author’ s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching”  is______.
A.approvingB.disapproving C.questioningD.inactive

A.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.
B.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities
C.Group work gives pupils the chance to learn to work together with others.
D.Group work supply pupils with the chance to learn to be good organizers.
小题4:The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.
A.offer advice on the proper use of the library

This winter, the air quality over the north China plain was so bad that it was actually off the standard scale. The air pollution reached levels that the World Health Organization describes as dangerous. On Thursday, heavy smog blanketed most of northern and eastern China again. 
It is reasonable to ask why the air pollution is so bad this winter. Weather conditions and topographic(地形学的) factors have been given as reasons, but, although contributing factors, these are not to blame. The worsening air pollution is linked to an energy mix that relies heavily on coal and to motor vehicle emissions(排放). But despite the astonishing growth of motor vehicles in our cities, it is the burning of coal that is the biggest cause of air pollution. More than half of the country"s power plants are located in the eastern region and China"s coal consumption has more than doubled in the past decade, reaching 3.8 billion tons last year, accounting for almost half the world"s total coal consumption. And with coal occupying nearly 70 percent of the country"s primary energy consumption, it has become critical to reduce the use of coal if we are to solve the nation"s overall air pollution problem.
In the face of the poisonous air recently, one citizen said, "we have nothing but hot air to purify the skies". In fact, the government plans to have 350 billion yuan ($55.67 billion) investment in improving coal-fired facilities and limiting the use of yellow-label cars that do not meet the Euro I emissions standard and so on.
However, it would be far more effective to reduce emissions at the source, which means that the biggest challenge currently facing government departments is saying "no" to the country"s air polluting offenders. According to the Joint Prevention and Control Plan on Air Pollution in Key Regions released recently by the State Council, the amount of coal the nation consumes is set to rise by 30 percent during the period of the 12th Five-Year Plan. This is not going to let anyone breathe easier. 
This highlights a key problem when it comes to environmental issues in this country - economic development comes first. The fundamental cause of the worsening air pollution is the idea of economic growth at any cost, which has resulted in ever-worsening pollution. And the priority(优先权)given to economic growth presents another problem, namely the failure of existing environmental protection policies and regulations to control pollution. For instance, the current weak regulations covering emissions would suggest there has been a significant reduction in emissions when clearly this is not the case. Also those enterprises found breaking the regulations are still far lower than the cost of treating the pollution they produce. This means even if many large-scale enterprises with lagging production capacity(能力) fail to meet the requirements for environmental protection, the environmental protection department is incapable of shutting these enterprises down or forcing their relocation. 
Dealing with air pollution requires taking action at the local level to reduce vehicle emissions and at the regional level to reduce industrial emissions. But it also requires giving more priority to environmental issues in policymaking. Our hope is that the environmental protection department will be truly capable of saying "no" to pollution, and it will raise standards and effectively enforce them, and that governments at all levels will prioritize quality of life not just economic growth.
小题1:The writer mentions the heavy smog in parts of China in Paragraph1 in order to_____.
A.remind people to stay in doors because of the bad air quality
B.show people’s concern about the priority to economic growth
C.introduce the issue about the serious air pollution
D.highlight the importance of government’s policies and regulations
小题2:Why is it a big challenge for the government to say “no” to the air polluting offenders in China?
A.Because enterprises are encouraged to develop economy at the cost of the environment.
B.Because much emphasis has been laid on economic growth regardless of the cost.
C.Because it’s impossible to relocate the enterprises for lack of money.
D.Because the production capacity of enterprises falls behind the required speed.
小题3:It can be learned from the passage that the essential reason for the worsening air conditions in China is_______.
A.the sharp growth of coal consumption in recent years
B.the rapid increase of motor vehicles in cities
C.the building of power plants in northern China
D.the poor weather conditions caused by complex geographical factors
小题4:According to the writer, which of the following is the key to solving the air pollution problem?
A.Giving priority to economic development in policymaking.
B.Making environment-friendly policies and carrying them out effectively.
C.Increasing investment in the construction of coal-fired facilities.
D.Limiting the use of cars not meeting the required emission standard
小题5:Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
