Unit 1 Festivals around the world新题型2015训练题：任务型阅读When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming one of the most popular trends. But, what exactly is green computing?The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many diff erent markets and areas all over the world in today's global technology. Yet, many computer users out there aren't sure what it means. Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do—it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings. The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment. Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible.Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologies.It was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers. The term “green computing” began to be used around the same as well, a nd began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the years. There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green computing.Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers, and also implemented a ranking system for products. Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing.Many of today's IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others. This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management，and regulatory compliance (顺从). Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome. Many companies are learning the best way that they call “go greener” when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process. While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent.【参考答案】任务型阅读：【语篇解读】本文阐述了“绿色计算”的含义和目的，以及它的发展过程和现状。

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.〞 In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A.Teenagers.B.Adults.C.The elderly.D.A couple.2.What does the sentence “No man is an island〞 really mean?A.No man is willing to live on an island.B.Man usually doesn’t go to an islandC.Everyone is related with our society.D.Our society is just like an island.3.What can we learn about outgoing people?A.They like being alone.B.They are fond of making friends.C.They have intense friendships.D.They have fewer close friends indeed4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The formation of close friends.B.The number of real friends.C.Honesty, love and affection.D.Factors to determine the degree of closeness.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。

To find the mid-career average pay for 35 popular degrees, we turned to , which lets us ers compare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles. We then looked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment estimate data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree. Finally we averaged each degree's pay rank and estimated growth rank to find the best and worst master's degrees for jobs.Physician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes' third-annual look at the be st master's degrees for jobs. Physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctors.“Both an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services,” says Katie Bardaro, Payscale's lead economist.They don't earn as much as doctors, but their mid-career average pay is 97,000. Another advantage of a physician assistant degree: Employment opportunities are expected to grow 30% by 2020 （from the 2010 employment numbers）, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.By our count, computer science follows close behind as the No. 2 best advanced degree for jobs. Mid-career average pay for these grads is 109,000, sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey. Employment opportunities for computer science degree-holders are expected to expand about 22% between 2010 and 2020. Electricalengineering, physics and economics degrees also make the top 10, all with an average mid-career salary of more than 110,000 a year.Not all master's degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects（前景） or extraordinary pay. Biology, chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the list—but that doesn't mean they're useless. If you're enthusiastic about these fields, the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldn't prevent you from pursuing a master's.Before you make a decision, you should bear one thing in mind: master's degree-holders don't necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobs—so don't base your decision to pursue one o n the idea that you'll bring in bigger paychecks.It's also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the common jobs associated with these degrees. “You need to consider overall happiness,” Bardaro says. “If obtaining a master's degree causes an imbalance due to time devoted to education and potentially more stress at work, then one will need to decide if these costs are worth it.”turned to to .users compare their salaries with those of other people in different jobshow fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020up the pay of those graduates with 35 popular degrees in different fieldsout the mid-career average pay in popular jobs held by people with different degree assistant degree ranks first on the list because .assistants are medical professionalsassistants enjoy the highest pay compared with other gradsqualifications of physician assistants are not second to those of doctorsdemand of physician assistants is expected to expand largely and they are well-paid can be inferred from the passage?A.100,000 is a satisfying pay for most of the grads.is the first time that Forbes has done a survey of this kind.degrees were once hot for those master's degree pursuers.earn more than those in electrical engineering on the average.to what Bardaro said in the last paragraph, we may safely conclude that .a master's degree is a mustmaster's degree is not always worth pursuinga master's degree leads to an imbalance between work and lifewith master's degrees are bound to earn more than other people in similar jobs Ⅱ.语法填空With the 1 （develop） of industry, air pollution is getting more and more serious.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·临沂一中模拟)One day, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot while waiting for my husband. A pretty female driver pulled into the spot beside our car. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. A few minutes later, a nice looking man entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.Sitting there, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy continued to exist long after she drove away.A couple of weeks later, sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding a book, watching her over the top of it. Her husband came to the car, took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She unsteadily walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis (假肢) on the left leg and a brace (支持物) on the right leg.I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. Through my tears, I told my husband about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and the story. The lady and her parents were in a car that got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
