for an answer, i checked with tim flannery, author of the weather makers: how man is changing the climate and what it means for life on earth. in his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化) of the ice sheets in greenland or west antarctica. “to stay below that point, we need to reduce co2 emissions by 80 percent, “ he said. good advice, i thought. id opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. wed gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. id almost forgotten the windows even opened. we should not let this happen again. its time for us to change our habits if necessary. 1. why did the author and his wife try a new diet? a. to take special kinds of food. b. to respond to climate change. c. to lose weight. d. to improve their health. 2. the underlined words “tipping points” most probably refer to “”.a. freezing pointsb. burning pointsc. melting pointsd. boiling points3. it can be inferred from the passage that.a. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the timeb. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of co2c. the average us household produces about 3, 000 pounds of co2 a monthd. the average european household produces about 1, 000 pounds of co2 a month4. which of the following would be the best title for this passage? a. saving energy starts at homeb. changing our habits begins at workc. changing climate sounds reasonabled. reducing emissions of co2 proves difficult【参考答案】1-4 bcba 阅读理解。in business, there is a speed difference: its the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. the difference is important regardless of industry and company size .companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.in our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.how did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? they thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .but that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.in our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. they became more open to ideas and discussion. they encouraged new ways of thinking. and they allowed time to look back and learn. by contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . that kind of strategy must come from the top.( ) 1. what does the underlined part “gain an edge” in paragraph 2 mean? a. increase the speed. b. get an advantage. c. reach the limit. d. set a goal.( ) 2. the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 means _. a. spending more time and performing worse.b. spending more time and performing betterc. spending less time and performing worse d. spending less time and performing better ( ) 3. what can we learn from the text? a. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.b. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.c. firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.d. firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.( ) 4. which could be the best title for the text? a. improve quality? serve better. b. deliver value? plough ahead.c. reduce time? move faster. d. need speed? slow down.【参考答案】1-4、bdcd【2014高考英语广东省华侨中学四模】读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文in junior high school, one of my classmates, ethan, was addicted to tv. this boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as whos the boss?then one day ethans mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. she promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any tv. none of us thought ethan could do it, but he did quit tv. his mom paid him $200. he went out and bought a tv, the biggest he could find.in recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with cash for showing up or getting good grades. all school kids admire this trend. but it upsets adults. teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will. psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. the debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should be despite decades of reforms and budget increases.【写作内容】1. 以约30词概括上文的主要内容。2. 以约120词对用金钱鼓励孩子学习的现象进行议论，内容包括：(1) 你对用金钱鼓励孩子学习的看法：(2) 你的父母（或其他亲人）是如何鼓励你学习的；(3) 你认为怎样才能更好地鼓励孩子学习【写作要求】1. 作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。【参考范文】读写任务： ethans mom used money for encouraging him to be devoted to learning, but she failed. in fact, kids are happy to be rewarded with money while some teachers and psychologists are upset. (32 words) rewarding a child with cash is a common phenomenon in reality, and it does even become a trend. form where i stand, i am not in favour of encouraging kids with cash. to get kids motivated to learn, we should not treat every child in the same way. to some students, oral praise is essential and adequate. however, this method may not work well with other kids. maybe what counts more to them is to watch a movie or go on a trip together with their parents. it just depends. my parents used to encourage me by leading me to have more reading. whenever i made progress in my studies, they bought me my favourite books, which not only motivated me, but also helped me get along well with my studies.in conclusion, schools and parents should educate their kids by teaching them to study for themselves and the society rather than simply offering them money to do something passively. only by building up some noble and long-range aims can they study on their own initiative.高中英语书面表达中的高级词汇替换例举 1occur 替换think of it occurred to me that someone had broken into my house. 2devote to替换spend he devotes all his spare time to reading. 3seek to do 试图，企图干seek after=seek for 寻求 they sought to hide themselves behind the trees. 4average 替换ordinary im an average student. 5but替换very the film we saw last night was very interesting. the film we saw last night was nothing but interesting. 6seat 替换sit he found an old lady seated (sitting) by the road, looking worried. 7be supposed to=should he is supposed to have driven more slowly. 8appreciate 替换thank you fori deeply appreciate your kindness in coming so far to meet me.9on替换as soon as as soon as he arrived, he began his research. on his arrival, he began his research. 10due to替换because of due to poor management, the factory is deeply in debt.11cover替换walk/read after covering 10 miles, we all felt tired. 12contribute to 替换 write, donate等he contribute an article to china daily. the association has contributed a sum of money to the red coss. plenty of memory work will undoubtedly contribute to english study. 13round the corner 替换coming soon/ nearby the summer vacation is round the corner. li ming studies in a school round the corner. 14come up with替换think of jack is very clever. he often comes up with new ideas. 15set aside替换save some students think that they should set aside some of their pocket money for books. 16be of + n. 替换adj. the products are of high quality and are sold everywhere in china. 17refer to 替换talk about/of, mention the professor you referred to is very famous. let me refer to my notes for the exact figures.18can not but do / can not help but do替换have to do 19more often than not替换usually more often than not , the meaning of many words can be easily guessed. 20be absorbed in 全神贯注于be addicted to 沉溺于 替换 be lost innow many kids are addicted to playing net games.21more than替换very if there is anything i can do for you, i would be more than glad to help. 22do sb a/the favor 替换help would you please do me the favor to turn down the radio? 23the other day替换a few days ago the other day my brother and i went to the cinema by bicycle. 24in the course of替换during in the course of the mountain-climbing, please help each other and pay special attention to your safety. 25the majority of替换most the majority of the interviewees prefer watching tv at home to going to the cinema. 26consist of替换be made up of our cla
