11．Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low-carbon economy.a Chinese——青夏教育精英家教网—

11．Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low-carbon economy，a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday．
China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy，said Zhou Changyi，director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology．
"While we can learn many aspects from developed nations，they also should learn something from us，such as water conservation，"Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrilization forum at the ongoning China International Industry Fair 2009．
He said industrilized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change．The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emmissions．For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new-type of industrilization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrilized．
As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's 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 life-cycle assesment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product fromthe research  and manufaturing stage through its usage and recycling．
Tobias Becker，head of ABB'S process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions．
LAC shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready-to-use stage．For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3percent of its life-cycle cost，while 94percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance．
Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，"The color of future industrilization is green．"
The Germany Company recently announce it wants to receive orders worth more than 6billion Euros （US 8.8billion） for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years．Siemens has set a 20percent market share target for the global smart grid business．
A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors speicialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability．The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid．

66．"A"can replace the underlined word"lag"．

10．Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life．Relationships with family，friends，neighbours，even pets，will all work，but the biggest longevity （长寿） increase seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship．The effect was first noted in 1858by William Farr，who wrote that widows and widowers （鳏夫） were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers．Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's．The effect holds for all causes of death，whether illness，accident or self-harm．
Even if the conditions are not good for you，marriage can more than compensate．Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart．Likewise，a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke．There's a flip side，however，as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their husband's or wife's death，and caring for a husband or wife with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems．Even so，the odds favour marriage．In a 30-year study of more than 10，000people，Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects．
So how does it work？The effects are complex，affected by socio-economic factors，health-service provision，emotional support and other more physiological （生理的） parts．For example，social contact can increase development of the brain and immune system，leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life．People in supportive relationships may handle stress better．Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner．
A life partner，children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100．The ultimate social network is still being mapped out，but Christakis says："People are interconnected，so their health is interconnected．"

56．William Farr's study and other studies show thatD．
A．social life provides an effective cure for illness
B．being sociable helps improve one's quality of life
C．women benefit more than men from marriage

8．American this year will swallow 15，000 tons of aspirin，one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man．The most popular medicine in the world today，it is an effective pain reliever．Its bad effects are relatively mild and it is cheap．
For millions of people suffering from arthritis（关节炎）．It is the only thing that works．Aspirin，in short，is truly the 20^th-century wonder drug．It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children．It has side effects that，although relatively mild，are largely unrecognized among users．
Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899，it has been around much longer than that．Hippocrates，in ancient Greek，understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates（水杨酸碱），the chemical in aspirin．During the 19^th century，there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical，and it led to the introduction of aspirin．By 1915，aspirin tablets were available in the United States．

6．Conservationists have unveiled plans to preserve and protect the world's most important species of coral，in a response to increasing threats that they say will lead to"functional extinction"within decades．
Led by scientists at the Zoological Society of London，the Edge Coral Reefs project has identified 10coral species in most urgent risk of becoming extinct．The scientists say that reefs are under pressure from a variety of threats including rising sea temperatures due to climatic instability，increased acidity（酸性），over fishing and pollution．
The Edge plan，which focuses on the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species，will take a regional approach to conservation．This means focusing on the"coral triangle"around the Philippines，the West Indian Ocean around the Mozambique channel，and in the Caribbean channel．
"Coral reefs are threatened with functional extinction in the next 20-50years，due predominantly to global climatic instability，"said Catherine Head，coordinator of the reefs project．"In these regions，we'll be supporting and training in-country conservationists to carry out research and implement targeted conservation actions，"she said．"Their projects will last initially for two years．We provide them with a whole host of tools to carry out their projects including funding and intensive training．"She added．
Coral reefs are the planet's most diverse marine ecosystem（生态系统），known as the rainforests of the oceans．Despite taking up under 0.2% of the ocean floor，they provide food and shelter for almost a third of all sea life．If we lose the ecosystems，we lose not only the biodiversity （生物多样性），but we also lose the capability of people to obtain income and food from coral reefs．
Climatic instability，which leads to rising sea temperatures，causes corals to bleach．Bleaching occurs when sea temperatures rise and this causes the coral tissue to expel their symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae-these are what give the coral their colour．Bleached corals often die if the stress continues．Among the 10species chosen to start the Edge project are the pearl bubble coral，a food source for the hawksbill（玳瑁）turtle，and the Mushroom coral，which supports at least 15brightly colored fish．

41．What does the first paragraph mean in the passage？C

B．Conservationists have banned plans to protect endangered corals for years．
C．Conservationists are going to protect corals that are dying out in several ten years．
D．Conservationists have made plans to protect corals from being extinct in ten years．

5．Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs，counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation，died on Wednesday at the age of 56，after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer．Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto，California，and Apple stores around the world．
Steve Jobs made technology fun．As tech leaders，they're really happy if they have one hit in their life．Steve Jobs has the Apple II，the Mac，the iPod，the iPhone，the iPad and Pixar．
Steve Jobs was a college dropout．He was adopted by a machinist and his wife，an accountant．They supported his early interest in electronics．He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer-now just called Apple-in 1976．They stayed at the company until 1985．That year，Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive．
Mr Jobs then formed his own company，called NeXT Computer．He rejoined Apple in 1997after it bought NeXT．He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today．However，Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health．He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement．Steve left behind a company that only he could have built，and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple．
President Obama said in a statement：by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage，Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity（独创性的）．By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets，he made the information revolution not only accessible，but intuitive and fun．
The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really stunning．He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford，so one of the greatest of all time．Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology，he also revolutionized American business．Steve Jobs was remembered as a"great visionary and leader"and a"marketing genius．"

3．Seen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle．It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed （相形见绌）by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area．
An astonishing 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which keep life on our planet．
The oceans provide necessary sources of protein，energy，minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen，drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world，transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable．
Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth．
It is seriously worrying，then，that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimagnalbe to most people．
We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces working-on our planet．We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that．As yet largely unseen，but just as serious，are the influences we are having on ihe oceans．A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats．the actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level．
A large quantity of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over．Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine speciesare driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed．With the decrease and removement of their diversity，ocean ecosystems are losing their natural recovery．
