With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The que

11、stion of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UKs GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high

12、 growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their countrys economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that que

13、stion. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement hav

14、e been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health

15、 and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isnt the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When

16、GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a countrys success, the world looks very different.So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important

17、 factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes all things that contribute to a persons sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers

18、who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.1、Robert F, Kennedy is cited because he .Apraised the UK for its GDP Bidentified GDP with happinessCsaw the problem with GDP Dmisinterpreted the role of

19、 GDP2、Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?AIt is sponsored by 163 countries. BIt excludes GDP as an indicator.CIts criteria are questionable. DIts results are inspiring.3、In the last two paragraphs, the author suggests that .Athe UK is preparing for an economic boomBhigh GDP

20、 predicts an economic declineCit is essential to consider factors beyond GDPDit requires caution to handle economic issues4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?AHigh GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK LessonBGDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic HealthCRobert F. Kennedy, a Term

21、inator of GDPDBrexit, the UKs Gateway to Well-being22（8分） If humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(層積云 ) could disappear, and the earths temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climate models. It would burn the planet. Thats

22、 the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine.As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most

23、 climate systems just arent powerful enough to predict worldwide changes in cloud behavior. But clouds are important. They reflect sunlight away from the earths surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out be

24、low you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that certain sudden, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200

25、parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulus clouds break up. Thats a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm-a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution.But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If cu

26、rrent trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesnt follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the globa

27、l average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to greenhouse gases.Thats an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldnt reappear until atmo

28、spheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently.Theres still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.1、What can we learn from paragraph 2?AMost climate systems are not complex.BCloud behavior is uncertain and har

29、d to predict.CTemperature changes affect the stratocumulus clouds.DThe stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight.2、How did the scientists study clouds in the new research?ABy measuring the sea level.BBy experimenting in a natural state.CBy comparing climate models.DBy computer modeling and a

30、nalyzing.3、What does it refer to in paragraph 4?AThe atmosphere.BThe earth.COur society.DThe result.4、Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with?AThe effects of CO2 emissions have been fully assessed.BThe stratocumulus clouds wont return if they are gone.CThe breakup

31、of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophes.DOnce CO2 level reaches 1, 200 ppm, stratocumulus clouds will go extinct.23（8分）While reducing plastic waste is something most consumers wish to do, it is not an easy goal to achieve. Thats because the cheap and durable material is found in almost

32、every household item from dinnerware to drink bottles to even food wrappers. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious and nutritious solution to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, the creator

33、s decided to settle that problem first.After researching on various material options, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable（可生物降解的）containers, seaweed does not require resources like water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much a

34、s 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. The marine algae（海藻類植物）also helps reduce ocean acidity by absorbing harmful green house gases like carbon dioxide. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it is not difficult for the company

35、to find the material.Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. In addition to wrapping fast food items like burgers, it can also be used to house things like instant noodles seasoning and single-serve instant coffee. Consumers simply drop the entire packaging i

36、nto the hot water and watch the odorless（沒有氣味的）, tasteless packet disappear, leaving behind no trace of its existence.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness, understanding, and

37、 sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem irrelevant（不相干的）and unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher the using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price greatly once the company moves to full-sca

38、le production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians, and people worldwide, that their products will be beneficial to the protection of our beautiful planet.1、What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 1 mean?AProtection. BPower.CDanger. DContribution.2、Why does the comp

39、any use seaweed to produce their wrappers?AIt is easy to acquire.BIt can be planted in baseball field.CIt is commonly used for containers.DIt is popular with Indonesian farmers.3、What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThings able to be wrapped in seaweed containers.BComponents contained in seawee

40、d containers.CWays of using the seaweed packaging.DAdvantages of the seaweed packaging.4、What does Evoware think of their future seaweed products?AThey will bring in huge profits.BThey remain a big challenge.CThey will be accepted finally.DThey will replace plastics completely.24（8分）“Years ago when

41、I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyons edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like got it done, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surpr

42、ised by how obsessed (癡迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent t

43、heir brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they w

44、ere less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.When people rely on technology to remember them counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how w

45、ell they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (鏡頭) on a specific area could even recall parts that werent in the frame.So basically, this stu

46、dy is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” H

47、enkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.1、Why did the author mention Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at

48、the beginning?ATo complain about some tourists bad habits.BTo give suggestions on how to enjoy ones tour.CTo point out peoples obsession with taking pictures.DTo describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.2、What can we learn from Henkels study?AReviewing pictures always helps people bring back

49、memories easily.BTaking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.CPeople should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.DPictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve peoples memories.3、The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers

50、 to “_”.Athe camera BtechnologyCthe event Dan object4、What is the article mainly about?APeoples obsession with taking pictures and its influence.BPossible ways of using pictures to improve ones memory.CGreat harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.DA believable study into the negative im
