22、分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Installations of solar power in the UK are likely to top records this year, and could offset some of the expensive dependence on gas, research has found, but the global outlook for green energy is still 1 .

25、en, thanks to the 5 of wind power in particular, wholesale short-term prices had reduced 6 . “But that doesn“t get passed through to the consumer, because there is no transparency in the market, and so people don“t know about it.

Modern lif
28、e, with its emphasis on information, automation, computerization, and globalization, has made work easier and given us more leisure options, but we now have a whole host of new health problems. Only time will tell if these modem health problems disappear like 8-track tapes and rotary phones. Until t
29、hen, here are some of the new maladies (疾病) we have in store for us. Computer vision syndrome B.

CVS includes all eye or vision-related problems suffered by
30、people who spend a lot of time on computers.

31、as 75 percent of computer users have symptoms of CVS due to glare, poor lighting, and improper workstation setup. C.

32、remove any glare or reflections. You can also adjust the brightness on your monitor to ease eyestrain.

E. And today, peop
34、le spend much more time listening to their portable players, exposing themselves to damaging noise for longer periods of time.

35、me spent listening to music players to about an hour a day. Headphones that fit outside the ear canal also help, as can noise-canceling headphones that reduce background noise so listeners don“t have to crank up the volume. E-thrombosis F. This condition is related to deep vein thrombosis (血栓形成), wh
36、ere blood clots (血栓) form in deep veins, such as those in the legs. These clots can be fatal if they migrate to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.

37、in the deep veins of someone who spends long amounts of time in front of a computer without moving.

38、ove around every hour, tap your toes while you work, put equipment and supplies in different parts of your work area so you have to move to get them, don“t cross your legs while sitting at your desk, don“t spend your lunch break at your desk (go for a quick walk instead), and don“t get too comfortab
39、le if your workspace is ultra-cozy, you won“t want to get up. Generalized anxiety disorder H.

40、pecific cause, large issues of modem life (such as terrorism, the economy, and crime) can bring it about, as can individual circumstances like dealing with an illness. I. GAD affects about 6.8 million people in the United States, and symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, irritability, impatience,
41、difficulty concentrating, headaches, upset stomach, and shortness of breath. Anxiety disorders like GAD are treated with antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, psychotherapy, or a combination of these. Orthorexia nervosa J. It seems like every day there“s a new report about something you shouldn“t eat.
42、 The constant bombardment of information about food and health can confuse anyone, but for people who have the eating disorder orthorexia nervosa, it can be downright dangerous. People with this condition are obsessed with eating healthful food and have constructed strict diets that they follow reli
43、giously. Although many people who have orthorexia nervosa become underweight, thinness is not their goalnutritional purity is. K.

The result is sick building syndrome, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA. classifies as a situation where building occupants experience discomforting health effects even though no specif
48、ic cause can be found. Symptoms include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness; nausea; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors. The EPA estimates that 30 percent of all U.S. office buildings could be “sick,“ so they recommend routine maintenance of HVAC systems
49、, including cleaning or replacing filters; replacing water-stained ceiling tiles and carpeting; restricting smoking in and around buildings; and ventilating areas where paints, adhesives, or solvents are used.
