I was one of those few.One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.“How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.He managed to say, “Fine.”“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.“Hmmm” was all I heard.“Whats up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why arent you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why”“No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.“Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”“With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”“Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; lets take a walk and I will let you know everything.”Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face.

Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources. Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.( ) 1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that _. A. It makes the world warmer B. it consumes natural resources C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue( ) 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. China lacks wind and solar energy. B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market. C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development. D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.( ) 3. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can _. A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emission C. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation( ) 4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _. A. develop sustainable products B. explore new natural resources C. make full use of natural resources D. deal with the major challenge( ) 5. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new business model. B. To compare two business models. C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To advocate sustainable development.这是一篇说明文，提倡低碳生活。41. 答案：B解析：细节理解题，根据第一段的“Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm”“ must be able to develop in sustainable ways”可以排除A、C、D选项。42. 答案：B解析：推理判断题，根据第二段“China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market”可以得出答案。3.
