The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.As such, overseas exhibitors at this years fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product lifecycle assessment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker，head of ABBs process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a products environmental impact throughout its lifecycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage. For example，a motors initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its lifecycle cost，while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，“The color of future industrialization is green.”The Germany pany recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors specialized puters that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.21.“_” can replace the underlined word “lag”in paragraph 2A. be superior to B. fall behind C. attack D. fear22.

Siemens will earn $ 8.8 billion from intelligent power networksD. Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid business23. The best title for the passage _.A. Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn From Each OtherB. Intelligent Power NetworksC. Low carbon Economya Shared Goal D. Two Biggest Markets for Smart GridB To tell the truth, my house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you e to visit, youll probably be surprised when you e in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, How will I live without them?24. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.C. Easy life in the future.D. A home for the future. 25. What cant be done in the writers new house according to the passage?A. Turning on the lights. B. Getting a telephone call. C. Going swimming. D. Playing music.26. The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _.A. it has been controlled by putersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice D. it has your favorite music following you 27. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A.A famous doctor B. An IT expert C. An idealist D. An experienced teacherCAnxiety has now surpassed depression as the most mon mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a students life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help. Anxiety has bee characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills. “They cant tolerate disfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said.More often, anxiety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-learning time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority(女生联谊会). Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分诊措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments.28. What results in anxiety mentioned according to the passage?A. Overprotection from parents and teachers. B. The social media pressure. C. Considerably learning pressure D. The development of students life. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Direction. B. Attention C. Appreciation. D. Motivation. 30. How do many counseling centers deal with some severely troubled students?A. To send them to some psychological hospitals. B. To move to triage protocols. C. To teach them how to manage time. D. To treat them with early, modest interventions.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Students burdened with anxiety on the rise B. College mental health centers overburdened with depression students. C. Different mental diseases among college students. D. Anxiety and mental problems.D It has bee a certain belief among the public-drink at least eight glasses of water a day to improve health and well-being. Bottled water panies often repeal it to increase their sales but it is actually a silly idea. There is no evidence to prove the advantages of drinking eight glasses of water a day, scientists say.The misunderstanding is caused from the suggestion that adults should drink 2.5 liters of water daily, which was stressed by the British Medical Journal in December. The important part of the suggestion that most of this quantity of water is contained in prepared foods, however, is usually ignored.US researchers who reviewed the evidence concluded that most people do not need to worry about the amount of water they drink every day. Besides drinking water, they will be getting plenty of liquid（液体）in other ways. Caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and cola and alcohol（酒）can help reach the daily total if they dont drink too much, though these drinks help the production of urine (尿). Less well known are the dangers of drinking too much water, causing water poisoning, low salt levels and even death.The review of research by Dan Negoianu, from the University of Pennsylvania, found that not a single study included the suggestion of drinking eight glasses of water a day. Although one small study suggested that drinking water could result in fewer headaches, the results were not very important. However, the benefits of drinking some water to prevent a pain in head after drinking too much alcohol are, separately, proved to be true.No studies showed any advantages to the color of the skin because of the increased water taken into bodies. Dehydration（脱水）can make skin less pleasant, but there was no clear evidence to support the idea that water helps people keep a youthful appearance. The researchers also found no evidence that drinking lots of water does some good to the bodys organs（器官）.32. From the passage, we know that the suggestion about drinking eight glasses of water a day .A. causes some serious diseases B. is misunderstood by people in fact C. has enough scientific evidence to support itD. was published by the British Medical Journal33. From the passage we learn that many people dont know that_ .A. the production of urine can cause water to loseB. health can be improved by drinking plenty of waterC. caffeinated drinks can provide the water people needD. better skin can result from intake of much water34. What can be proved about drinking a lot of water according to the passage?A. Causing bad headaches.B. Helping to keep youthful looks.C. Making the bodys organs stronger. D. Reducing the bad influence of drinking alcohol.35. The writers main purpose of writing this passage is to .A. tell people drinking much water is not as healthy as is consideredB. persuade people to drink different kinds of waterC. warn people of the danger of drinking much waterD. help people realize the importance of drinking enough water every day第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Physical education plays a vital role in the students development and growth.
