26、A cap and trade system is a method for managing pollution, with the end goal of reducing the overall pollution in a nation, region, or industry. Many supporters of pollution control are in favor of the concept of such systems, arguing that well-designed cap and trade systems are extremely effective, and that they make sense economically as well.
Under a cap and trade system, a government authority first sets a cap, deciding how much pollution in total will be allowed. Next, companies are issued credits, essentially licenses to pollute, based on how large they are, what industries they work in, and so forth. If a company comes in below its cap, it has extra credits that it may trade with other companies.
For companies that come in below their caps, this system is great, because they can sell their extra credits, profiting while reducing their pollution. For companies that cannot get their pollution under control, the system punishes them for their excess pollution while still bringing overall pollution rates down. In a sense, the need to purchase credits acts as a fine, encouraging companies to reduce their emissions.
By creating a cap, nations make it clear that they want to reduce overall emissions, rather than just fining companies for excessive emissions or trying to force all companies to reduce their emissions by a set percentage. Cap and trade systems allow for flexibility, which usually benefits the market. Some people view the concept as preferable to a taxation or fining system, because it is easier to administer and it results in a pollution reduction. These systems are most commonly used for carbon emissions, leading people to refer to it as “carbon trading”, and there is a potential for a global carbon trading market, in which more efficient nations could trade credits with other countries.
【1】What can be inferred about the cap and trade system?
A．It can greatly promote economy in a nation.
B．It will soon be welcomed by all companies.
C．It is well-designed and extremely effective.
D．It is environmentally and economically friendly.
【2】What kind of companies can trade their extra credits?
A．Those who always have more extra credits.
B．Those whose overall pollution is below their caps.
C．Those who have never been fined for overall pollution.
D．Those who help other companies reduce their pollution.
【3】What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A．All the pollution will be reduced by the cap and trade system.
B．Carbon trading is likely to be conducted among countries.
C．Carbon trade is more effective than the cap and trade system.
D．The taxation and fining system now is out of use.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The use of credits in reducing pollution.
B．Efficient ways to manage overall pollution.
C．An introduction of the cap and trade system.
D．Potential application of the cap and trade system.
27、Some people like modern art, while others say that is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isn’t known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bad, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78-year-old Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite”(有限的).
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger’s work every evening with a colored cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.
【1】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Cleaners mistake modern art for rubbish
B. Modern art shouldn’t be cleaned
C. What makes a great work of art
D. Cleaners don’t always throw things away
【2】Which of the following is not true?
A. People have different opinions on modern art
B. Mr Metzger would be paid much compensation
C. A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001
D. Some modern work is about artists’ chaos of their life
【3】The last paragraph is written to show that____________.
A. cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possible
B. cleaners can’t always differ exhibits from rubbish
C. exhibits are usually difficult to clean
D. exhibits are not always so beautiful

29、Two years ago, enormous fires swept through some 46 million acres of forest in Russia, the country’s worst fire season on record. Now, researchers have a clearer sense of just how significant the 2021 boreal(北方的)forest fires were in terms of emissions. The fires produced more planet-heating carbon dioxide than any other extreme fire event that has occurred since the turn of the 21st century, according to a study.
Boreal forests grow where it is very cold. The trees that live in this type of forest grow slowly and seal (封存) carbon in their trunks and roots for hundreds of years, comprising a collection of trapped emissions that researchers call a carbon sink. But rising temperatures and related drought in these historically cool regions have led to an increase in extreme wildfire activity and threaten to release the carbon stored in the trees that grow there, transforming a carbon sink into a carbon source.
In all, fires in boreal forests released the carbon sink and produced nearly half a billion metric tons of carbon in 2021.That’s more carbon than the entire continent of Australia produced the same year, though some of the emissions produced by the fires will be sucked back up as forests regrow.
The researchers obtained the data for their study by tracking concentrations of emissions in the atmosphere using satellites, and then they put that information into a computer model to determine where, geographically, those emissions came from. They found that boreal forests, which typically produce about 10 percent of the globe’s annual wildfire emissions, accounted for 23 percent of the world’s wildfire emissions in 2021—more than twice as much as normal.
Canadell, who led the study, is most concerned about the study’s main takeaway; Boreal forests have served an important and underappreciated role in sequestering carbon emissions, but climate change threatens to release that carbon. “We need to be very careful with these systems in terms of their future development,” he said.
【1】What is the function of paragraph 2?
A．To explain the source of carbon.
B．To illustrate two scientific concepts.
C．To indicate the seriousness of the fire.
D．To show the importance of boreal forests.
【2】How did the scientists get needed data?
A．By employing technology.
B．By searching on the website.
C．By analyzing previous data.
D．By turning to the firefighters.
【3】What does the underlined word “sequestering” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Assessing.
B．Increasing.
C．Monitoring.
D．Preventing.
【4】What is mainly talked about in the text?
A．The reasons for the forest fires in the north.
B．The impact of the 2021 boreal forest fires.
C．The link between fires and carbon dioxide.
D．The increasingly growing carbon emissions.
30、 Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the________ one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not________ to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total________ upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or________ your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. ________, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary________ of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to________ up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be________ only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
However, most of the time we________ this energy. Even if we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening________. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain________ results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply________ to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It was not until toward the end of my doctor career that I had found the knowledge that being truly listened to was frequently therapeutic (有疗效的) . In about a quarter of the patients I saw, ________ improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the________ of problems had been uncovered or explained. There were several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s________ that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
