| 第7题：It is just one example of the growing concern over the increasing power consumption and environmental impact of computers. A、study found that the power consumption of data centers doubled between 2000 and 2005, and now accounts for 1.2% ofAmerican electricity consumption, though other estimates put the figure at 4%.Companies now spend as much as 10% of their technology budgets on energy, says Rakesh Kumar of Gartner, a consultancy. Power consumption has increased because of the rise of the internet, of course, but also because of way in which computers have historically been designed: to maximize performance at all costs.Between 1996 and 2006, the number of servers in use went from 6 million to 28 million and the average power consumption of each server grew from 150 watts to 400 watts.But things are now starting to change and the computer industry has been seized with enthusiasm for "green computing". |

| 第9题：September 11 should have driven home a basic lesson for theBush administration about life in an interconnected world: misery abroad threatens security at home. It is no coincidence that OsamaBin Laden found warm hospitality in the Taliban’sAfghanistan, whose citizens were among the most impoverished and oppressed on earth. If the administration took this lesson seriously, it would dump the rules of realpolitik that have governed U.S. foreign aid policy for 50 years. Instead, it is pouring money into an ally of convenience, Pakistan, which is ultimately likely to expand the ranks of anti-American terrorists abroaD、 To enlist Pakistan in the fight against the Taliban, theBush administration resurrected theCold War tradition of propping up despotic military regimes in the name of peace and freedom. Its commitment of billions of dollars to Pakistan since September 11 will further entrench the sort of government that has made Pakistan both a development failure and a geopolitical hotspot for decades. Within Pakistan, the aid may ultimately create enough angry young men to make upA1 Qaeda’s losses inAfghanistan. In SouthAsia as a whole, the cash infusion may accelerate a dangerous arms race with Indi A、 Historically, the U.S. government has cloaked aid to allies such as Pakistan in the rhetoric of economic development.As aCold War ally, Pakistan received some $ 37 billion in grants and loans from the West between 1960 and 1990, adjusting for inflation.And since September 11, the U.S. administration has promised more of the’ same. It has dropped sanctions imposed after Pakistan detonated a nuclear bomb in 1998, pushed through a $1.3 billion IMF loan for Pakistan, and called for another $2 billion from the WorldBank and theAsianDevelopmentBank. TheBush administration is also, ironically, pressing allies to join it in canceling or rescheduling billions of dollars of old (and failed) loans that were granted in past decades in response to similar arm-twisting. Despite--even because of--all this aid, Pakistan is now one of the most indebted, impoverished, militarized nations on earth. The causes of Pakistan’s poverty are sadly familiar. The government ignored family planning, leading to population expansion from 50 million in 1960 to nearly 150 million today, for an average growth rate of 2.6 percent a year. Foreign aid meant to pave rural roads went into unneeded city highways--or pockets of top officials.And the military grew large, goaded by a regional rivalry with India that has three times bubbled into war. The result is a government that, as former WorldBank economist WilliamEasterly has observed, "cannot bring off a simple and cheap measles (麻疹) vaccination (预防接种) program, and yet...can build nuclear weapons.\ It implies in the passage that ______. A、the U.S. government has been helping Pakistan’s economic development B、the U.S. approved Pakistan’s detonating nuclear bomb C、the Pakistan government is corrupt D、the Pakistan government didn’t pay much attention to family planning |

| 第10题：Because agriculture is so important to a nation’s well-being, governments have always been concerned with it. For example, the United States andCanada have long produced surpluses that complicate their economies. Surpluses tend to lower prices to farmers and seriously endanger the agriculture industry. Governments have instituted systems of price supports to maintain a fair price when surpluses cause prices to drop. The system in the United States is a good example. A、government program supports the prices paid to farmers for grains, and other agricultural products. Support prices are based on parity, which is the ratio between the prices farmers receive for their crops and the prices they must pay for things they neeD、The government selected the period from 1910 to 1914 as a time when farm prices were in a fair ratio with farming costs. This is the base period now used to determine parity prices. The idea is to assure farmers that what they get for a bushel of wheat will buy the same amount of, say, seed as it did in the years of the base period; if prices drop too far below this ideal the government can help in a number of ways. For example, it may buy much of a surplus at parity prices. Governments have instituted a wide variety of other controls for prices and, also, for farm output, mainly at the request of the farmers themselves. Farm prices tend to fluctuate more than other prices do, and the incomes of farmers fluctuate along with farm prices. Various measures for maintaining farm prices and incomes include tariff or import levies, import quotas, export subsidies, direct payment to farmers, and limitations on production.All of these measures are useful and are used to some extent by most developed countries.An important example of such a program is the soil-bank plan, which aimed at limiting production while improving farmlanD、 TheEuropeanEconomicCommunityEEC、established a common agricultural policyCAP) for its member nations, called theCommon Market countries. The aim is to create free trade for individual commodities within the community. When production of a commodity exceedsEE C、consumption, theEE C、may buy the excess for storage, pay to have it reprocessed, or export it to countries outside theCommon Market. In this way theEE C、can maintain its members’ farm prices at levels equal to or even higher than those in such market-competitive nations as the United States andCanad A、 According to the passage, the parity system is used to ______. A、encourage farmers to produce more grains in the future B、lower the cost of producing agricultural product C、determine the prices below which grains will not be sold D、ensure that the farmers’ interest is properly protected |
