30、nd D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering, and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Sinc

31、e then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable(可更新的 )energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit

32、no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas. The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax itin this case, by taxing the carbon content of power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive

33、than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be even more expensive compared to gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables. Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential(差别 )betwee

34、n all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the pricea useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers an motivation to clean their products. Precedents

35、 suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon taxes is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germanys ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, polit

36、icians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and

37、rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it. 31 According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is_. （ A） to encourage people to use renewable energies （ B） to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms energies

38、 （ C） to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of power （ D） to talk less but act more 32 The standard of paying tax was_. （ A） that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would pay （ B） that oil would be more expensive than clean coal （ C） that renewables wo

39、uld be most expensive of all （ D） in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest 33 We can infer from the passage that carbon tax_. （ A） couldnt be as effective as people expect （ B） has encouraged renewable producers to cut costs （ C） has reduced consumption of th

40、e carbon content energy successfully （ D） couldnt be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden 34 The word “crippling“(Line 1, Para. 3)most probably means_. （ A） greatly increasing （ B） seriously weakening （ C） sharply declining （ D） abruptly halting 35 The reason why many countries stop

41、ped enforcing carbon tax eventually is mainly that （ A） governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no conspicuous result （ B） if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries will follow it （ C） governments were afraid of being suspected if they adop

42、ted the new tax （ D） governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadnt come to an agreement 35 Youve probably heard the reports that moderate drinking can actually be good for your heart. But before you stock up(囤积 )on beer, wine, or liquor for “medicinal pur

43、poses“, read the fine print. Guidelines published by the Department of Health and Human Services define moderate drinking as no more than a drink a day for most women and no more than two drinks a day for most men. But even moderate drinking may be ill-advised as you get older. Research shows that a

44、s you age, you absorb alcohol more readily and are more sensitive to its effects. So the number of drinks you could tolerate years ago may be too much for you now. Why? First, your bodys ratio of water to fat falls as you age, so theres less water to dilute(稀释 )the alcohol. Second, you have less blo

45、od flow to the liver and less efficient liver enzyme action, so your body doesnt metabolize(新陈代谢 )alcohol as readily. Women need to be especially careful, since most cant tolerate as much alcohol as men can. One reason is that they are generally smaller, and smaller people have less blood volume, so

46、 a little alcohol goes a longer way. Women also produce less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the stomach before it is absorbed into the bloodstream. And they have a higher proportion of body fat, which does not absorb alcohol. The result? Drink for drink, women have 75% more alcohol in the

47、ir bloodstream than men do. Despite the caveats(警告 , 告诫 ), theres no doubt that, for many people, limited amounts of alcohol can help you live longer and decrease your risk of heart disease. Those who may be at risk for heart disease or stroke and those who are diabetic appear to benefit most from m

48、oderate alcohol intake(one or two drinks per day)over the course of their lifetimes. For example, in a University of Wisconsin study of diabetic men and women with an average age of 69, the risk of death from coronary heart disease was significantly lower among moderate drinkers compared to abstaine

49、rs(戒酒者 ). The death rate for those who had a drink a day was less than half of that for those who didnt drink at all. 36 According to the author, _. （ A） moderate drinking actually does no good to your health （ B） you should not drink beer, wine or liquor for medicinal purposes （ C） you should know about the guidelines for moderate drinking before you decide to drink （ D） you should give up dri
