[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] TOEFL Reading Passage 1 Two Types of Social Groups 1. One of the most basic elements of human life is the way in which we form social groups and interact with the members of those groups. According to sociologists, no one is ever entirely separate from the social networks that surround him or her, and the groups we belong to play an enormous role in determining how we see ourselves and our world. Early American sociologist Charles H. Cooley(1864-1929) defined two principal categories of human groupings, and his ideas are still widely accepted today. He termed them primary and secondary, based on the kinds of relationships individuals in the group share with each other. 2. In primary groups, we form what Cooley referred to as primary relationships. These are marked by strong, long-lasting emotional ties, feelings of intimacy and genuine concern for the well-being of the other person or people. Intan A. cannot supply everything an individual needs to be happy. B. contains members that are emotionally healthy. C. remains together for a long period of time. D. does not encourage the formation of relationships outside the group.
