He urged policymakers not to be held back by shortterm perspectives.Innovation Group has already developed a reliable alternate energy solution，which the company believes will change the landscape of this emerging market and other companies will follow suite and offer renewable energy solutions for emerging economies.“We are quickly becoming an industry leader in this space thanks to our inhouse expert knowledge on the various SWH technologies available and the application of our Business Process Outsourcing Solutions，which allow for the mass rollout of these technologies on a national scale.We are proud to be an active part of the solution to the current energy crisis and plan to become a major force in the drive towards sustainability and good environmental practice，”Pule said.【语篇解读】 像南非这样的新兴经济体经历了经济的快速发展之后会面临能源危机，而走绿色发展道路是唯一的出路。1Which of the following is the best title for this text?AAdvantages of Green EnergyBGreen Policies Vital for Emerging EconomiesCPotential Energy Crisis for Emerging EconomiesDHow to Develop Green Energy解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是像南非这样的新兴经济体会在发展中遇到能源危机，因此走绿色发展道路显得很重要，政府应在这方面出台相应的政策。故B项作为本文的标题最合适。答案B2The underlined part “the energy mix had to be diversified”in Paragraph 5 implies _.Aenergy had to be classifiedBdifferent kinds of energy had to be mixedCa variety of energy had to be developed and usedDa mixture of various energy was essential解析句意理解题。根据下文的“including broadening energy carriers to include gas，nuclear，biomass，renewable energy(wind，solar and hydro)，as well as the efficient use of the existing resources，such as coal”可判断，画线部分的含义为“要开发和利用不同种类的能源”。答案C3According to Pule Mokoena，_.Anuclear energy shouldnt be included into energy plansBfocusing too much on the costs of green policies is shortsightedCgreen policies alone can solve the economic problems faced by South AfricaDgreen polices have nothing to do with the use of the existing resources like coal解析推理判断题。根据第八段中的“Too many companies are focusing on the costs of green policies，rather than focusing on the longterm benefits”可推断选B项。答案B4According to the text，the main reason for the adoption of green policies is that _.Athe existing resources are not efficiently usedBgreen energy costs less to developCgreen policies can solve the current energy crisisDgreen technology will stimulate demand for a range of goods and services解析细节理解题。根据全文尤其是最后一段，为了解决目前的能源危机，为了保持可持续发展，政府必须采取这一政策。答案C。【2020界广东省茂名市一模】阅读理解Many of us mistakenly believe that its wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.36.

The first sensible lesson is that you shouldnt bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until dawn. Because then you wont trip over things? No, mainly because youll have an idea of direction. The sun rises in the east. But you will be amazed at how many people forget they know that. Apparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter they are thick, and evergreen. The next thing to do or rather not to do is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere. Just try to think of nice, happy things.There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱水的) and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle. It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of your legs. Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon (or landmarks) as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add up over time so the brain cant correctly identify the “straight ahead” direction. To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish north using the stars. Most people can identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major. It looks a lot like a saucepan. The Plough rotates through the sky, but lets imagine the saucepan lying horizontally (水平地), with its handle on the left. You need to trace a line from the star at the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim (边沿), and follow it upwards; the north star is roughly five times the distance between those two “pointer” stars. Then drop a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and thats north.“Tonight is very cloudy and I cant see the Plough.” Maybe luckily, it is quite windy. Keep in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westerly direction. (This only works if you are in
