20、up with, your 2 talkative IRL friends. Twitter rolled out new 3 to let users better manage the deluge (泛滥) of tweets they receive. Users can now “mute“ people they follow, removing those people“s tweets and retweets from their own timelines. The muted person won“t know that he or she has been 4 . It
21、“s a stealthy way to read less content from certain users without having to unfollow them. A person can easily be muted or 5 at any time, Twitter said in a blog post. “Mute gives you even more 6 over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user“s content from key parts of your Twitter
22、 experience,“ the company said. Though Twitter had been experimenting with the feature in recent weeks, it announced that muting will be 7 to all users of the company“s iOS and Android apps, as well as the T website. Some other Twitter applications, like TweetDeck, already allowed muting. The featur
23、e is part of Twitter“s 8 strategy to make its service more accessible to a wider range of people. Following a successful initial public offering, Twitter“s stock has tumbled in recent months as investors worry about the social network“s 9 to attract new users. CEO Dick Costolo 10 that Twitter would

25、. ability M. accepted N. available O. characters（分数：35.50）十一、Section B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)A Battle is Looming over Renewable Energy, and Fossil Fuel Interests are LosingA. In state capitals across the country, legislators are debating proposals to roll back environmental rules, prodded by industry and a
26、dvocacy groups eager to curtail (缩减) regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gases. B. The measures, which have been introduced in about 18 states, lie at the heart of an effort to expand to the state level the battle over fossil fuel and renewable energy. The new rules would trim or abolish climate
27、 mandatesincluding those that require utilities to use solar and wind energy, as well as proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules that would reduce carbon emissions from power plants. C. But the campaigndespite its backing from powerful groups such as Americans for Prosperityhas run into a sur
28、prising roadblock: the growing political clout of renewable-energy interests, even in rock-ribbed Republican states such as Kansas. D. The stage has been set for what one lobbyist called “trench warfare“ as moneyed interests on both sides wrestle over some of the strongest regulations for promoting
29、renewable energy. And the issues are likely to surface this fall in the midterm elections, as well, with California billionaire Tom Steyer pouring money into various gubernatorial (州长的) and state and federal legislative races to back candidates who support tough rules curbing pollution. E. The multi
30、-pronged conservative effort to roll back regulations, begun more than a year ago, is supported by a loose, well-funded confederation that includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and conservative activist groups such as Americans for Prosperity, a politically
31、 active nonprofit organization founded in part by brothers David and Charles Koch. These groups argue that existing government rules violate free-market principles and will ultimately drive up costs for consumers. F. The proposed measures are similar from state to state. In some cases, the legislati
32、ve language matches or closely resembles model bills and resolutions offered by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a free-market-oriented group of state lawmakers underwritten in part by Exxon Mobil, Koch Industries, Duke Energy and Peabody Energy. “Now more than ever is the time for
33、states to lead the way,“ ALEC“s top officials told its members at a meeting in December. G. The coalition campaigns have achieved only symbolic victories in a few states. Nonbinding resolutions critical of the EPA power plant proposals have been approved in Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, West Virginia
34、and Wyoming. Three other statesLouisiana, Missouri and Ohioare weighing legislation similar to the ALEC model. H. Only one of the 18 state legislatures has approved a more substantive measure that would replace the EPA“s power plant rules. And even that bill, in Kentucky, could backfire by giving up
35、 a chance for the state to design its own program and forcing it to accept a federal compliance program. I. “Clean energy is beginning to become mainstream,“ said Gabe Elsner, executive director of the Energy and Policy Institute, a clean-energy think tank in Washington. “Renewable energy is popular
36、 and has increased political power now,“ but, he added, “that power is still eclipsed by the resources of the fossil fuel industry.“ A surprisingly tough fight J. Kansas might be the best place to see how these dynamics are unfolding. K. The state was a promising choice for a foray (攻击) against rule
37、s known as renewable-energy standards, which set minimum levels of renewable-energy use by electric utilities. Variations of these rules have been adopted in about 30 states, even though Congress did not pass a federal version of the requirement. In Kansas, a law passed in 2009 requires utilities to
38、 use wind and solar power to generate at least 15 percent of their electricity by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020. L. The coalition seeking the repeal of the renewable mandate had all the ingredients for success. Financial muscle came from the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, which lobbied heavily for repeal
39、. In addition, the state is home to Koch Industries, the Koch brothers“ Wichita-based energy conglomerate (集团). The state representative for Wichita, Republican Dennis Hedke, has called the company “one of the greatest success stories in the world“ and said “they are making very positive contributio
40、ns.“ Hedke chairs the state House“s Energy and Environment Committee. M. Koch Industries, along with the utility industry“s Edison Electric Institute and the nation“s biggest coal company, Peabody Energy, have supported ALEC, which advised state lawmakers on repeal strategy. N. “Koch has consistentl
41、y opposed all subsidies and mandates across the board, especially as it relates to energy policy,“ Philip Ellender, president and chief operating officer of Koch Companies Public Sector, said in a statement, citing the company“s opposition to the renewable fuel standard, wind production tax credit a
42、nd ethanol (乙醇) mandate. “Government should not mandate the allocation or use of natural resources and raw materials in the production of goods.“ O. The ideological case was supported by conservative think tanks. Kansans for Liberty supported repeal, and the state branch of Americans for Prosperity
43、told supporters that “green energy mandates replace the free-market with bureaucratic government oversight, driving up costs for hard-working Kansas families.“ The national group has spent $300,000 in the state pushing for the rollback of renewable standards. P. Connections to key Kansas politicians
44、 also were strong. Both the Kansas state Senate“s president, Susan Wagle, and the speaker of the state House, Ray Merrick, are members of the ALEC board and backed repeal. “The repeal of the RPS Renewable Portfolio Standards fits in line with the goals of the organization,“ said Wagle, who said she
45、joined ALEC in the 1990s in connection with her opposition to health-care reform led by Hillary Rodham Clinton, then the first lady. Q. Moreover, the Kansas economy relies heavily on fossil fuels. The state is the nation“s 10th-largest producer of crude oil and 12th-largest of natural gas, according
46、 to the federal Energy Information Administration. In 2013, coal-fired power plants provided 61 percent of the state“s electricity, well above the national average. But the strong winds that blow across Kansas have carried new interests into the state. Kansas ranks sixth in the country in wind outpu
47、t, which jumped by a third last year and equaled 19 percent of the state“s electricity, the EIA says. R. The growing number of wind farms not only generates power but royalties for landowners. Dorothy Barnett, executive director of the Climate and Energy Project, said that Kansas landowners receive
48、more than $13 million a year. “This issue is an issue that touches rural Kansans, and we have a lot of rural Kansas legislators,“ she said.（分数：71.00）(1).Resolutions with no binding force which are picky about the EPA power plant proposals have been accepted in many states such as Alabama and Georgia
49、.（分数：7.10）(2).It is hopeful to gain success if Kansas is chosen as the foray against the rules of renewable-energy standards which minimize the renewable-energy use by power plants.（分数：7.10）(3).Koch Company“s Philip Ellender cited the company“s opposition to the renewable rules to approve its objection to all energy-policy-concerning subsidies and mandates, and advised that government let go of the allocation or use of materials used in goods production.（分数：7.10）(4).The issue is a pr
