24、olcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldnt find the parks volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in naturethats what accounted for all its hot springs and othe

25、r steamy features. But Christiansen couldnt find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圓錐體）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma（巖漿）piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer w

26、as surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes o

27、n Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesnt involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second

28、 type, but Christiansen couldnt find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for o

29、ne of the visitors centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park2.2 million acreswas caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles acrossmuch too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in

30、the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. （1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A.Its complicated geographical features.B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C.The mysterious history of the park.D.The exact loc

31、ation of the volcano. （2）What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about?A.The shapes of volcanoes.B.The impacts of volcanoes.C.The activities of volcanoes.D.The heights of volcanoes. （3）What does the underlined word blow-up in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Hot-air balloon.B.Digital camer

32、a.C.Big photograph.D.Birds view. Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinio

33、ns. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should

34、try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造業(yè)）with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to w

35、orry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Pe

36、rhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying th

37、at those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent ch

38、anges in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going again

39、st which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designin

40、g economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions. （1）Misj

41、udgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _.A.a waste of limited resourcesB.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinionsD.a lack of confidence in technology （2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _.A.make their programmes attractive to peopleB.take

42、 peoples essential needs into accountC.ensure that each child gets financial supportD.provide more affordable internet facilities （3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A.Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B.Ignoring the power of economic development.C.Believi

43、ng that the world has become borderless.D.Over-emphasizing the role of international communication. （4）What can we learn from the passage?A.People should be encouraged to make more donations.B.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.C.Traditional technology still has a place nowad

44、ays.D.Economic policies should follow technological trends. Old Problem, New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emission were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the ch

45、allenge of adapting to climate. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting se

46、t of conditions. This is why in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: There is no one-size fit all adaption. Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor cou

47、ntries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other c

48、ommunication facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（連接）to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even mor

49、e astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Nophel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers（冰川）there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can

50、 damage crops. Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉）water. Having created nine such ice re

51、serves. Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.I

52、ncreasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses（which reflect light back to space）has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decr

53、eased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the ho

54、pe that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its of 100 ideas to save the planet.More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Vict

55、oria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is c

56、ommon sense, but some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climat

57、e in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in the way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others. （1）TheunderlinedpartinParagraph2implies _.A.adaptationisanever-
