[单项选择] Passage One
Two pressing problems face the world:
economic meltdown and global warming. Conveniently, a solution presents itself
that apparently solves both: governments should invest heavily in green
technology, thus boosting demand while transforming the energy business. This
notion is gaining agreement around the world. Last month the United Nations
called for a "Global Green New Deal". But it is in America that the idea is
really taking off. The United States Conference of Mayors reckons that green
investment should provide 2.5m jobs. The Centre for American Progress thinks
$100 billion worth of spending in the area would provide 2m jobs. The new
president tops both. Barack Obama proposes spending $150 billion over ten years,
thus helping, he says, to create 5m jobs. There is a historical
parallel to this synergy between two worthy aim A. It can provide millions of jobs with little money investment. B. It can promote demand while reforming the energy industry. C. It is helpful to the world’s peace and development. D. It is well accepted by all of the countries in the world.
[单项选择]Passage Two A. Because they have ruined their talents. B. Because they have taken on an unsuitable job. C. Because they think of nothing but their salary. D. Because they are not aware of their own potential.
