21、The world is going through a basic transformation, which is changing the way we live, work and think. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing dramatic change and giving rise to a future filled with exciting opportunities and new challenges. Together governments and businesses must find solutions to society’s most pressing needs—from creating a carbon-free economy to tackling population growth and urbanization.
In any period of rapid change there is a trend to look for a simple method, to greet the new things and replace the old way of doing things. But a close look at the facts tells a different story. Complex problems require many solutions working in harmony to enable positive change.
The challenge for scientists and the engineers is to provide solutions in fact, data and today’s realities. And while technologies offer new tools to help uncover solutions, the process also requires hard work, imagination and lots of improvement.
Success rests on performing practical, realistic, long-term solutions that make the world cleaner, safer and more sustainable.
The environment is a case in point. Much of the public debate has centered on the central role of renewable power sources in realizing a low-carbon energy future. While the industry is fully behind the developing renewables, today we understand a low or zero-carbon future depends on adopting a multifaceted approach.
We cannot control sunshine levels or decide when the wind blows, which means solar power and wind power generators will produce too much or too little energy at times. The transition to renewables needs to take account of serious considerations.
Batteries have been much discussed as a means of storing extra energy, but there are other choices. Power-to-X technologies enable spare energy created by renewables to be stored and redistributed when and where it is needed.
【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
A．Society’s dramatic change calls for simple methods.
B．Old means of doing things should be replaced by new ones.
C．Society needs positive change for development.
D．Some problems should be solved in combined ways.
【2】What does the author expect scientists and engineers to do?
A．Offer new tools to uncover solutions.
B．Tackle population growth.
C．Work hard with imagination.
D．Make the world better with a simple method.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the consumption of the solar power and wind power?
A．Uncertain.
B．Cautious.
C．Unconfident.
D．Doubtful.
【4】Which of the following is the advantage of Power-to-X technologies?
A．They can adjust power supply.
B．They can conserve energy.
C．They help make more electricity.
D．They can create power from wind and sun.
22、Just when you think life is going a certain way, there can be an unexpected twist of fate. James Fox found this out after meeting a total stranger.
Life is not easy for James Fox. His arms and legs are disabled because of an accident. Even worse he was homeless. One day he was riding on a skateboard heading to his mother’s house when a man stopped his truck and asked James if he’d like a ride. The driver’s name is Dan Creighton, who’s a CEO of Creighton Construction and Development. Concerned for James’ safety, Dan decided to offer a lift.
Dan offered to purchase him an electric wheelchair, but James refused. He simply told Dan that he was on his way to his mom’s house. Dan told James to reach out if he needed anything.

Since then, James has become like a member of Dan’s family and has even started up on his main passion, computer work, once more.
Dan even bought James a flat in South Point Villas. The home is completely accessible as the floors flow throughout, so James can use his skateboard to get about. Dan also created a GoFundMe for. James, called “Let’s Make 2020 James Fox’s Best Year Yet”. The target was set at $13, 000, but it has already surpassed $10, 000.
