That was bad to my overall fitness goals.I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass; but thinking only of 4 the number on the scale;I altered my training program. That conficted with how I needed to train to 5 my goals.I also found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate 6 of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice any significant changes in your weight 7 altering your training program. The most 8 changes will be observed in skill level;strength and inches lostFor these 9 ; I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule 10 . Since weight loss is not my goal; it is less important for meto_ 11 _ my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and 12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program.I use my bimonthly weigh-in 14 to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same; but I'm constantly 15 and dropping weight; this is a 16 that I needto increase my daily caloric intake.The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health; fitness and well-being. I'm experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a 18 morming weigh-in. I've also experienced greater success in achieving my specific ftness goals; 19 I'm training according to those goals; not the numbers on a scale.Rather than 20 over the scale; turn your focus to how you look; feel how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.1.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A; B;C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. 40 pointsText 1Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness; fear; and anger; guilt emerges a little later; in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”; rather; they learn over time that such statements app ease parents and friends -- and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regardso-called moral guilt; in the right amount; to be a good thing.In the popular imagination; of course; guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable-- it's the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve;” says Amrisha Vaish; a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia; adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary -- feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger; for example; may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.And quilt ; by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness; can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt; in other words; can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light; guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti ; a psychology professor at the University of Toronto ;suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies; Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some Kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt; which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa : High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study; for example; Malti looked at 244 children. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations; she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed chocolate coins; and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For thelow-sympathy kids; how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones share more; even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.“That’s good news;” Malti says; “We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.”21. Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may help _______.A. regulate a child’s basic emotionsB. improve a child’s intellectual abilityC. foster a child’s moral developmentD. intensify a child’s positive feelings22. According to Paragraph 2; many people still consider guilt to be _______.A. deceptiveB. burdensomeC. addictiveD. inexcusable23. Vaish holds that the rethinking about guilt comes from an awareness that _______.A. emotions are context-independentB. emotions are socially constructiveC. emotional stability can benefit healthD. an emotion can play opposing roles24. Malti and others have shown that cooperation and sharing _______.A. may help correct emotional deficienciesB. can result from either sympathy or guiltC. can bring about emotional satisfactionD. may be the outcome of impulsive acts25. The word “transgressions” Line 4; Para. 5 is closest in meaning to _______.A. teachingsB. discussionsC. restrictionsD. wrongdoings21-25参考答案：21、答案C foster a child’s positive feelings解析根据题干“researchers”;“guilt”; “a good thing”关键词定位到第一段最后一句;除此之外;提干中还有关键词“because”; 判定该题属于细节题中考查因果逻辑关系的题目;需要在原文中精准回文定位;原文中第一段最后一段明确出现了“This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt...a good thing.”根据代词向前文指代的原则;题干中所问的原因就在上一句;由“Children aren’t born knowing how to say ‘I’m sorry’; rather; they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends----and their own conscience”;其中的“such statements appease parents and friends----and their own conscience”该品质能够使父母/朋友和孩子自己都感觉更舒适;such statements指代的即为“say sorry”或文章主题词guilt; 纵观四个选型;只有C选项foster a child’s moral development提高孩子的道德发展可以实现同义替换;故为正确答案..其余选项A.regulate a child’s basic emotions 管理孩子基本情绪中的regulate原文未提及; B. improve a child’s intellectual ability改善孩子的智力中intellectual ability原文未提及;而D.intensify a child’s positive feelings加强孩子的积极感觉在原文中未提及;故排除..22、答案B burdensome解析根据题干可知这是一个典型的细节题..根据题干关键信息“paragraph 2; “ many people still consider guild to be”定位到第二段;最终锁定对本段第二句话的理解;尤其关键的是对第二句话中破折号的理解;“it is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket wei ghted with stones. ” 这种感觉非常不舒服;就像穿着一件石头做的夹克一样; 对比所给四个选项;只有B 项“burdensome”负担沉重的;繁重的与原文表述一致;故为最佳答案.. A项“deceptive” 欺骗的C项“addictive”上瘾的以及D项“inexcusable” 不可原谅的均与原文表述不一致;故排除..23、答案D an emotion can play opposing roles解析根据题干可知这是一个典型的细节题..根据题干关键信息“Vaish holds that …awareness that.” 定位本文的第二段“There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking …can serve.”但是这句话是他的观点句;也就是题干信息所在句;本句没有答案;因此;根据线性思维;下文他又继续补充到“adding that this revival is a psychology researcher…..in another ”这种复兴是更大的认识的一部分;即情绪不是二元情感;在一个情境中有利的情绪在另一个情境中可能是有害的; 对比四个选项;只有D“an emotion can play opposing roles” 情绪可以起到相反的作用为最佳答案..A项“emotions are context-independent”情绪与语境无关与原文表述相反.. B 项“emotions are socially constructive”从社会角度讲;情绪具有积极性在文中没有提及..C项“emotional stability can benefit health”情绪稳定有益与身体健康在文中没有提及;故排除..24、答案B can result from either sympathy or guilt解析根据题干可知这是一道人物观点题..根据题干关键词“Malti and others have shown 与cooperation and sharing.”回文定位到第四段第三句：“Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.” 马尔蒂和其他人已经表明;内疚和同情可能代表了合作和分享的不同途径.. 对比四个选项;只有B项can result fromeither sympathy or guilt要么归因于同情;要么归因于内疚与原文表述一致;故为正确选项..A项may help correct emotional deficiencies可能有助于改正情感缺陷与第四段第二句话… that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency内疚可能会弥补情感缺陷不符..C项can bring about emotional satisfaction能够带来情感上的满足并未提及..D项may be the outcome of impulsive acts 可能是冲动行为的结果与第四段第三句…which can rein in their nastier impulses这可以控制他们更糟糕的冲动因果倒置;故排除..25、答案D wrongdoings解析根据题干要求定位到第五段第二句话“Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations; she rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.” 且位于主句的“transgressions”的前面出现to feel negative emotions;情感属于消极贬义..对比四个选项;D项wrongdoings坏事;不道德的行为;属于贬义词;与其情感色彩一致;故为正确选项..A项teachings 教导;属于褒义词..B项discussions 讨论;属于中性词 ..C项restrictions 限制;约束;属于中性词;故排除..Text 2Forests give us shade; quiet and one of the harder callenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce; we are threatening their ability to do so.The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully; there is a way out of this trap - but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now. Califormia is leading the way; as it does on so many climate efforts; in figuring out the details.The state's proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture; so they grow and thrive; restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects. The landscape is rendered less easily burnable. Even in the event of a fire; fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already; since 2010;drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California; most of them in 2016 alone; and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35;000 acres of forest a year by 2020; and 60;000 by 2030 - financed from the proceeds of the state' s emissions- permit auctions. That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit; about half a million acres in all; so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels. New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests; but traditionally they've focused on wildlife; watersheds and opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. Califormia's plan; which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year; should serve as a model.26. By saying “one of the harder challenges ;”the author implies that_________.A. global climate change may get out of controlB. people may misunderstand global warmingC. extreme weather conditions may ariseD. forests may become a potential threat27. To maintain forests as valuable “carbon sinks;" we may need to__________.A. preserve the diversity of species in themB. accelerate the growth of young treesC. strike a balance among different plantsD. lower their present carbon-absorbing capacity28. California's Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to_______.A. cultivate more drought-resistant treesB. reduce the density of some of its forestsC. find more effective ways to kill insectsD. restore its forests quickly after wildfires29.What is essential to California's plan according to Paragraph 5A. To handle the areas in serious danger first.B. To carry it out before the year of 2020.C. To perfect the emissions-permit auctions.D. To obtain enough financial support.30. The author's attitude to California's plan can best be described as________.A. ambiguousB. tolerantC. supportiveD. cautious26-30参考答案：26.答案D forests may become a potential threat解析根据题干信息词定位到首段..第一句引出文章话题“在人类对抗气候变化中;森林给我们带来了一个更为艰巨的挑战..”第二句指出人类正在威胁到森林吸收二氧化碳的能力..第三句“The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forest that emit more carbon than they absorb.”为本段的主题句;指出我们人类所造成的气候变化问题最终会使得森林排放更多的二氧化碳;而不是吸收..即森林可能会威胁气候的恶化和人类的生存..故选择D项“森林可能会变为一个潜在威胁..”27.答案D Lower their present carbon-absorbing capacity解析根据题干要求定位到第二段..该段首句中的前半句there is a way out of this trap对应题干中To maintain forest as valuable “carbon sinks”; 后半句提出具体的解决方法it involves striking a subtle balance这需要达到一个微妙的平衡;但并没有说这个平衡是不同植被间的平衡;故不能据此选Cstrike a balance among different plants..紧接着第二句提到要达到这一目的可能需要reducing their forests’ capacity to absorb carbon now降低他们森林现在吸收碳的能力;由此可知正确答案应为D选项..28.答案B reduce the density of some of its forests解析细节题做题的技巧是“准确定位和匹配”..根据题干关键词“Forest Carbon Plan”定位至第三段第一句话..题干中问题是“endeavor to”表示“努力做…”对应文章中“double efforts to” ;因此答案在这个短语之后即“thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest”表示的意思是使“森林里部分小树变稀疏;清理部分灌木”;这与选项C中的“reduce the density of some of it s fforests”即“降低森林的密度”一致..因此正确答案选C..29. 答案A To handle the areas inserious danger first解析根据题目定位到第5段;题目What is essential to California's plan 中的essential可回文定位;对应原文中的so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought的vital;其后的prioritize对应选项中的handle…first;areas at greatest risk对应选项中的the areas in serious danger;故正确选项为A..30.答案C supportive解析根据题干关键词“attitude”;可确定是态度题..做态度题的核心是把握明显感情色彩的关键词;即可快速得出答案..而在文章的最后一段;往往会出现本文的结论;容易出现感情色彩的关键词..根据最后一段最后一句;California's plan; which is ……; should serv e as a model California的计划应该能够起到榜样作用;model是一个积极色彩的词汇;所以答案选B supportive 支持的..Text 3American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years now. Given a multi-year decline in illegal immigration; and a similarly sustained pickup in the U.S. job market; the complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.Efforts to create a more straightforward agricultural-workers visa that would enable foreign workers to stay longer in the U.S. and change jobs within the industry have so far failed in Congress. If this doesn’t change; American businesses; communities and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants. As fewer such workers enter the U.S.; the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today’s farm laborers; while still predominantly born in Mexico; are more likely to be settled; rather than migrating; and more likely to be married than single. They are also aging. At the start of this century; about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35. Now; more than half are. Andcrop picking is hard on older bodies.One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it has been all along: Native U.S. workers wo n’t be returning to the farm.Mechanization is not the answer either — not yet at least. Production of corn; cotton; rice; soybeans and wheat have been largely mechanized; but many high-value; labor-intensive crops; such as strawberries; need labor. Even dairy farms; where robots currently do only a small share of milking; have a long way to go before they are automated.As a result; farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using theH-2A visa to fill the gaps in the agricultural workforce. Starting around 2012; requests for the visas rose sharply; from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap; unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work; which is limited to 66;000 annually. Even so; employers frequently complain that they aren’t allotted all the workers they need. The process is cumbersome; expensive and unreliable. One survey found that bureaucratic delays led H-2A workers to arrive on the job an average of 22 days late. And the shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids; which remove some workers and drive others underground.In a 2012 survey ;71 percent of tree-fruit growers and nearly 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor. Some western growers have responded by moving operations to Mexico. From 1998-2000; 14.5 percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported. Little more than a decade later; the share of imported fruit had increased to 25.8 percent.In effect; the U.S. can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.31.What problem should be addressed according to the first two paragraphsA.Discrimination against foreign workers in the U.S.B.Biased laws in favor of some American businesses.C.Flaws in U.S. immigration rules for farm workers.D. Decline of job opportunities in U.S. agriculture.32. One trouble with U.S. agricultural workforce is_______.A.the rising number of illegal immigrantsB.the high mobility of crop workersC.the lack of experienced laborersD.the aging of immigrant farm workers33. What is the much-argued solution to the labor shortage in U.S. farmingA. To attract younger laborers to farm work.B. To get native U.S. workers back to farming.C. To use more robots to grow high-value crops.D. To strengthen financial support for farmers.34. Agricultural employers complain about the H-2A visa for its ___.A. slow granting proceduresB. limit on duration of stayC. tightened requirementsD. control of annual admissions35.Which of the following could be the best title for this textA. U.S. Agriculture in DeclineB. Import Food or LaborC. America Saved by MexicoD. Manpower vs. Automation31-35参考答案：31、答案C Flaws in U.S. immigration rules for farm workers解析根据题干提示词first two paragraphs可知本题依据文章前两段命制;为双段推理型题目..快速扫读可知前两段大意为：美国针对外来农民所定移民规则中存在一些问题;并指出如不及时解决美国商业;社会以及消费者都会受到影响..比对选项可直接判断正确选项为C项;其余选项均属无中生有;直接排除..32、答案D the aging of immigrant farm workers解析细节推理题..根据题干中的trouble; U.S. agricultural workforce以及段落序列定位到文中第三段第二句..定位段第三至七句都在论证第二句的内容;其中第三句论证的是劳动力的来源及其倾向;第四至七句论证的是劳动力在变老并指出picking crops is hard on older bodies. 与选项D吻合..选项A中的rising及illegal属于无中生有;选项B中的high mobility与定位段中的farm labors are more likely to be settled rather than immigrating矛盾;选项C属无中生有..33、答案B To get native U.S. workers back to farming.解析细节题..根据题干中的much-argued solution to the labor shortage定位到第三段最后一句;其中oft-debated对应原文的much-argued;solution对应原文的cure;剩余信息出答案;冒号解释了这个经常被谈论的方法：美国本国工人不会重返农场..说明本身的解决方法是让美国本国工人回到农场;与选项B一致..A选项attract younger laborers在文章未体现;文章只是提到现在的farm laborer在老龄化..C选项出现在文章的第四段;文章只是说在high-value crops上需要劳动力..在乳牛场机器人只做了一小部分工作..选项将两部分杂糅在一起了..D选项中financial support在文中未提及;属于无中生有..34、答案A slow granting procedures解析因果细节题..根据题干中的具体信息;agricultural employers;complain;about the H-2Avisa..回文定位到第六段..根据具体信息定位到第六段的;Employe rs complain they aren’t given all the workers they need.这句话是抱怨的内容;文中问的是原因;紧接着下面一句话;the process is cumbersome;expensive;and unreliable.并且在这句话后面one survey 是例子..根据例子证明论点;下面的例子和前面的the process这句话表达的观点是一致的..同时;在例子中有for的同义词lead to;导致了arrive on the job 22 days late. Delay;late 对应选项中的slow;procedure对应process..所以选A.. B中的limit;原文后面跟着是人数66;000;偷换概念..C中的request出现在例子中;说的是visa rose sharply..D项文中未提及;无中生有..35、答案B Import Food or Labor解析主旨题..文章第一段明确指出美国农民面临劳动力短缺的问题;而这一问题的根源在于针对农场工人的移民制度..二段和三段分析了移民签证和移民现状的冲突..第四段指出机械化并不能解决该问题..第五和六段分析了现在农场工人所依赖的H-2A签证政策也没能有助于解决劳动力短缺..第七段通过研究调查再次确定了劳动力短缺的问题..最后一段总结指出解决方案;美国要么进口食品;要么进口农场劳动力bor为本文中复现的主题词..故正确答案为B选项..A选项中的decline夸大概念..C选项中的saved 无中生有;D选项中的Automation断章取义;且与原文表述相反..Text 4Amold Schwarzenegger; Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you: It's easy to beat plastic. They're part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video for World Environment Day — encouraging you; the consumer; to swap out your single-use plastic staples like straws and cutlery to combat the plastics crisis.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics. But the overarching message is directed at individuals.。

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By "green" we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures (宜传册), read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Intermet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of dfferent tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.00015#英语(二)试题第1页(共8页)Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochuresare definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effor, it will do a itle bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB. FalseC.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.（40points）Text1Rats and other animals need to be highly at tuned to social signals from others so that can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid.To find out if this extends to non-living beings,Loleh Quinn at the University of California,San Diego,and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals form robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat-one social and one asocial一for5our days.The robots rats were quite minimalist,resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels-to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment,the social robot rat followed the living rats around,played with the same toys,and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape.Meanwhile,the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to sideNext,the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever.Across18trials each,the living rats were52percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one.This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being.They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviors like communal exploring and playing.This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier,and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped,says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design.The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels.“We'd assumed we'd have to give it a moving head and tail,facial features,and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat,but that wasn’t necessary,”says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia,who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues,even when they come from basic robots.Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings,even when they display only simple social signals.“We humans seem to be fascinated by robots,and it turns out other animals are too,”says Wiles.21.Quin and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can________[A]pickup social signals from non-living rats[B]distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile one3。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1"Reskilling"is something that sounds like a buzzword but is actually a requirement if we plan to have a future in which a lot of would-be workers do not get left behind.We know we are moving into a period where the jobs in demand will change rapidly,as will the requirements of the jobs that remain.Research by the World Economic Forum finds that on average42percent of the "core skills"within job roles will change by2022.That is a very short timeline.The question of who should pay for reskilling is a thorny one.For individual companies,the temptation is always to let go of workers whose skills are no longer in demand and replace them with those whose skills are.That does not always happen.AT&T is often given as the gold standard of a company that decided to do massive reskilling program rather than go with a fire-and-hire strategy.Other companies had also pledged to create their own plans.When the skills mismatch is in the broader economy,though,the focus usually turns to government to handle. Efforts in Canada and elsewhere have been arguably languid at best,and have given us a situation where we frequently hear of employers begging for workers,even at times and in regions where unemployment is high.With the pandemic,unemployment is very high indeed.In February,at3.5United States were at generational lows and worker shortages were everywhere.As of May,those rates had spiked up to13.3per cent and13.7per cent,and although many worker shortages had disappeared, not all had done so.In the medical field,to take an obvious example,the pandemic meant that there were still clear shortages of doctors,nurses and other medical personnel.Of course,it is not like you can take an unemployed waiter and train him to be a doctor in a few weeks.But even if you cannot close that gap,may be you can close others,and doing so would be to the benefit of all concerned.That seems to be the case in Sweden:When forced to furlough90percent of their cabin staff,Scandinavian Airlines decided to start up a short retraining program that reskilled the laid-off workers to support hospital staff.The effort was a collective one and involved other companies as well as a Swedish university.21.Research by the World Economic forum suggests________.B ．an increase in full-time employmentC ．a steady growth of job opportunitiesD ．a controversy about the "core skills"22.AT&T is cited to show________.A ．the characteristics of reskilling programs B ．the importance of staff appraisal standards25.Scandinavian Airlines decided to __________.A ．create jobs vacancies for the unemployed Text2With the global population predicted to hit close to 10billion by 2050,and forecasts that agricultural production in,some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace,food security is increasingly making headlines.In the UK,it has become a big talking point recently too,for rather particular reason:Brexit.Brexit is seen by some as an opportunity to reverse a recent trend towards the UK importingB ．have driven up labour costsC ．have proved to be inconsistentD ．have met with fierce opposition24.We can learn from Paragraph 3that there was__________.A ．a sign of economic recovery B ．a call for policy adjustment C ．prepare their laid-off workers for other jobsD ．finance their staff's cpllege education_________.food.The country produces only about 60percent of the food it eats,down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s.A move back to self-sufficiency,the argument goes,would boost the farming industry,political sovereignty and even the nation’s health.Sounds great—but bow feasible is this vision?According to a report on UK food production from the University of Leeds,UK,85per cent of the country's total land area is associated with meat and dairy production.That supplies 80per cent of what is consumed,so even covering the whole country in livestock farms wouldn't allow us to cover all our meat and dairy needs.There are many caveats to those figures,but they are still grave.To become much more self-sufficient,the UK would need to drastically reduce its consumption of animal foods,and probably also farm more intensively—meaning fewer green fields,and more factory-style production.But switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldn't help.There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry:most of its terrain doesn't have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis.Just 25percent of the county's land is suitable for crop-growing,most of which is already occupied by arable fields.Even if we converted all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg—which would involve taking out all the nature reserves and removing thousands of people from their homes—we would achieve only a 30percent boost in crop production.Just 23percent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK are currently home-grown,so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30percent of our fresh produce needs.That is before we look for the space to grow the grains,sugars,seeds and oils that provide us with the vast bulk of our current calorie intake.26.Some people argue that food self-sufficient in UK would__________.A ．be hindered by its population ground B ．become a priority of government C ．pose a challenge to its farming industry 27.The report by the university of Leeds shows that in the UK______.A ．farmland has been inefficientlyutilizedD．more green fields will be converted for farming28.Crop-growing in the UK is restricted due to__________.A．its farming technologyD．its commercial interests29.It can be learned from the last paragraph that British people__________.B．enjoy a steady rise in fruit consumptionC．are seeking effective ways to cut caloorie intakeD．are trying to grow new varieties of grains30.The author's attitude to food self-sufficient in the UK is__________.A．defensiveB．doubtfulC．tolerantText3When Microsoft bought task management app Wunderlist and mobile calendar Sunrise in2015,it picked up two newcomers that were attracting considerable buzz in Silicon Valley. Microsoft's own Office dominates the market for"productivity"software,but the start-ups represented a new wave of technology designed from the ground up for the smartphone world.Both apps,however,were later scrapped after Microsoft said it had used their best features in its own products.Their teams of engineers stayed on,making them two of the many acquirers" that the biggest companies have used to feed their insatiable hunger for tech talent.To Microsoft's critics,the fates of Wunderlist and Sunrise are examples of a remorseless drive by Big Tech to chew up any innovative companies that lie in their path."They bought the seedlings and closed them down,"complained Paul Arnold,a partner at San Francisco-basedSwitch Ventures,putting paid to businesses that might one day turn into competitors.Microsoft declined to comment.Like other start-up investors,Mr Arnold’s own business often depends on selling start-ups to larger tech companies,though he admits to mixed feelings about the result:“I think these things are good for me,if I put my selfish hat on.But are they good for the American economy?I don't know”The US Federal Trade Commission says it wants to find the answer to that question.This week,it asked the five most valuable US tech companies for information about their many small acquisitions over the past decade.Although only a research project at this stage,the request has raised the prospect of regulators wading into early-stage tech markets that until now have been beyond their reach.Given their combined market value of more than5.5tn dollars,rifling through such small deals-many of them much less prominent than Wunderlist and Sunrise might seem beside the point.Between them,the five companies(Apple,Microsoft,Google,Amazon and Facebook)have spent an average of only3.4bn dollars a year on sub-1bn dollars acquisitions over the past five years a drop in the ocean compared with their massive financial reserves,and the more than$130bn of venture capital that was invested in the US last year.However,critics say that the big companies use such deals to buy their most threatening potential competitors before their businesses have a chance to gain momentum,in some cases as part of a“buy and kill”tactic to simply close them down.The phenomenon is not new.Ram Shriram,an early investor in both Google and Amazon, said that the tactic had played a part in the deals that'shaped the database software market in the1980s.However,speaking at a Department of Justice workshop at Stanford University this week,he claimed that such tactics were not used by big tech companies today.Others dispute that view,Mark Lemley,a professor at Stanford Law School,called it "patently false",based on the recent pattern of acquisitions“We see Google and Facebook buying up hundreds of businesses and very often shutting them down,”he said.While the five biggest companies have come under the FTC’s microscope,companies in all corners of the tech market frequently buy up their most innovative potential competitors at an early stage.Five years ago,for instance,Salesforce raised eyebrows when it paid$390m forRelateIQ,a start-up whose technology was seen as leapfrogging Salesforce itself.According to Susan Woodward,an economist at Sand Hill Econometrics,Cisco has been the most active buyer of all.Referring to the criticism that companies use such tactics to clear competition out of their core markets,she said“Are there kill zones’around Cisco too?There's a lot to study here.”Chuck Robbins,the networking company’s chief executive flatly denied the suggestion.He pointed to buyers that have built large businesses in Cisco's shadow,including Juniper and Anista, and added:“We’ve never had a strategy to buy companies just to quell competition.”Even if big tech companies use their buying power to take out competitors,it has not ended their symbiosis with venture capital st year saw record levels of start-up financing in the US and Europe,said Ms Woodward.“It tells you that the aggregate level of venture capital is not collapsing because of the‘kill zones’.”How the FTC will try to use the information it collects on small tech acquisitions to boost competition is unclear.The regulators will not be able to unwind past deals,according to star up investors,because businesses like these are quickly absorbed into a company's operations,even when they are not shut down.Another possibility is that the agency will use what it learns to intervene more actively in future deals.“For dominant players,you could start with a higher standard,”said Prof Lemley, putting more on big companies to prove they are not acting in an anti-competitive way when mopping up small rivals.Such intervention is not welcomed by investors.“It could slow down M&A both in number of deals and the speed of a deal,"said Matt Mcllwain,a partner at Seattle-based Madrona Venture Group.Given the high risks in buying start-ups,he added,big companies performed an important function in taking"the risk to buy, invest in,integrate and hopefully make successful someday smaller companies"Christine Tsai,head of500Startups,a seed-stage investor,added that start-up founders had many good reasons for sling to a larger company,from a“fire sale”of businesses that are foundering.to finding ways to accelerate the growth of

Text4We're fairly good at judging people based on first impressions,thin slices of experience ranging from a glimpse of a photo to five-minute interaction,and deliberation can be not only extraneous but intrusive.In one study of the ability she dubbed"thin slicing,”the late psychologist Nalini Ambady asked participants to watch silent 10-second video clips of professors and to rate the instructor’s overall effectiveness.Their ratings correlated strongly with students end-of-semester ratings.Another set of participants had to count backward from 1,000by ninesasC ．set an example for future dealsD ．generated considerable profitsthey watched the clips,occupying their conscious working memory.Their ratings were just as accurate,demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing.Critically,another group was asked to spend a minute writing down reasons for their judgment,before giving the rating.Accuracy dropped dramatically.Ambady suspected that deliberation focused them on vivid but misleading cues,such as certain gestures of utterances,rather than.letting the complex interplay of subtle signals form a holistic impression.She found similar .interference where participants watched 15-second clips of pairs of people and judged whether they were strangers,friends,or dating partners.Intuition’s special powers are unleashed only in certain circumstances.In one study,participants completed a battery of eight tasks,including four that tapped reflective thinking (discerning rules comprehending vocabulary)and four that tapped intuition and creativity (generating new products or figures of speech).Then they rated the degree to which they had used intuition ("gut feelings,""hunches,""my heart").Use of their gut hurt their performance on the first four tasks,as expected,,and helped them on the rest Sometimes the heart is smarter than the head.Other research shows we 're better at detecting deception and sexual orientation from thin slices when we rely on intuition instead of reflection."It's as if you're driving a stick shift,"says Judith Hall,a psychologist at Northeastern University,"and if you start thinking about it too much,you can't remember what you're doing.But if you go on automatic pilot,you re fine.Much of our social life is like that."D.people's ability to influenceothersThinking too much can also harm our ability to form preferences College students ratings ofstrawberry jams and college courses aligned better with experts'opinions when the studentsweren’t asked to analyze their rationale.And people made car-buying decisions that were bothobjectively better and more personally satisfying when asked to focus on their feelings rather thanon details,but only if the decision was complex -when they had a lot of information to process.36.Nalini Ambaby's study deals with___.A.instructor student interaciton B.the power of people's memory37.In Ambaby's study,raing accuracy dropped when

about the risksE.．Decide whether to waitF.．Ask permission to disagreeG.．Identify a shared goalYour boss proposes a new initiative you think won't work.Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic.What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do?How do you decide whether it's ,worth speaking up?And if you do,what exactly should you say?42.______________Before you share your thoughts,think about what the powerful person cares about —it may be the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time,"says Grenny.You're more likely to be heard if you can connect your disagreement 'to a higher purpose.”When you do speak up,don't assume the link will be clear.You'll want to state it overtly,contextualizing your statements so that you're seen not as a disagreeable underling but as a colleague who's trying to advance a shared goal.The discussion.will then become more like a chess game than a boxing match,"says Weeks.43.________________This step may sound overly deferential,but,according to Grenny,it's'a smart way to give the powerful person psychological safety ",and control.You can say something like,I know,we seem to be moving toward a first-quarter commitment here.I have reasons to think that won't work.I'd like to lay out my reasoning.Would that be OK?"This gives the person a choice,"allowing them to verbally opt in,"says Grenny.And,assuming they say yes,it will make you feel more confident about voicing your disagreement.44.________________After this risk assessment,you maydecide it's bestto hold off on voicing your opinion.Maybe “you haven't finished thinking the problem through,the whole discussion was a surprise to you,or you want to get a clearer sense of what the group thinks,"says Weeks.If you think other people are going to disagree too,you might want to gather your army first.People can contribute experience or information to your thinking -all the things that would make the disagreement stronger or more valid."It's also a good,idea to delay the conversation if you are in a meeting or other public space.Discussing the issue in private will make the powerful person feel lessthreatened.You might feel your heart racing or your face turning red,but do whatever you can to remain neutral in both your words and actions.When your body language communicates reluctance or anxiety,it undercuts the message,Weeks says.It sends a mixed message,and your counterpart gets to choose what to read,she explains.Deep breaths can help,as can speaking more slowly and deliberately.When we feel panicky we tend to talk louder and faster.You don't want to be mouse or talk in a whisper,but simply slowing the pace and talking in an even tone helps calm the other person down and does the same for you,says Grenny.It also makes you seem confident,even if you aren't.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)We tend to think that friends and family members are our biggest sources of connection,laughter and warmth.While that may well be true,researchers have also recently found that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost in mood and feelings of belong that we didn't expect.In our series of studies,researchers instructed Chicago area commuters using public transportation to strike up аconversation with someone near them.On average,participants who followed the instruction felt better than those who had been told to stand or sit in silence.There searchers also argued that when we shy away from casual interaction with strangers,it is often due45._________________Emphasize that you’re offering your opinion,not “gospel truth,”says Grenny.“It may be a well-informed,well-researched opinion,but it's still an opinion,[so]talk tentatively and slightly understate your confidence."Instead of saying something like,“If we set an end-of-quarter deadline,we'll never make it,”say,“This is just my opinion,but I don’t see how we will make that deadline.”Weeks suggests adding a lot of “guiding phrases”like “I'm thinking aloud here.”This will leave room "for dialogue.Having asserted your position (as a position,not as a fact),“demonstrate equal curiosity about other views,"says Grenny.Remind the person that this is your point of view,"and then invite critique.Weeks suggests trying something like,“Tell me whereI'm wrong with this."Be genuinely open to hearing otheropinions.to a misplaced anxiety that they might not want to talk to us.Much of the time,however,this belief is false.As it turns out,many people are actually perfectly willing to talk—and may even be flattered to receive your attention.Section IV WritingPart

2012 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二）试题答案与解析Section I Use of English一、文章题材结构分析本文是一篇关于人物介绍的说明性文章,主要讲述了 G. I。
Joe 由普通人成长为英雄，是美国特种兵敢死队的象征。
二、试题解析1．【答案】B【解析】本段开篇提出主题：G. I. Joe 这个名字对于参加过第二次世界大战的人来说意义非凡。
空格中需要填动词,在定语从句中做谓语，其主语是 who（指代 men and women),动作发生的地点是 in World War II；空后的句子“the people they liberated”中 they也指代 men and women，他们有 liberate的动作，由此推断“the men and women"指的应该是参加了第二次大战的男人和女人，即服役的军人。
只有 serve 有“服兵役”的意思，所以选 B。
A 项 perform 意为“表现；执行；表演”；C 项 rebel 意为“造反,反抗”；D 项 betray 意为"背叛，出卖”，皆不符合文意,为干扰项.2．【答案】B【解析】空格处所指的人与下文的 the poor farm kid 和 the guy 在含义上呼应，同时与空格后的“grown intohero”逻辑含义应保持一致,因此空内信息应该是与 hero“英雄”意思相对，后面的分句说他背井离乡，经历了很多苦难，显然这里应该是说由普通人平凡人（common man）成长为英雄,所以选 B.A 项 actual 意为“实际上，事实上的”；C 项 special 意为“特殊的，专门的”；D 项 normal 意为“正常的,常态的”；皆不符合上下文语意，为干扰项。
3．【答案】A【解析】本题考查的是词语的搭配关系，需要填入动词在定语从句中做谓语，先行词是 who（the guy)，宾语是 all the burdens of battle，要表达“承担战争带来的负担，应该用动词 bear 或 shoulder,所以这里选 A，bore.B 项 ease 意为“减轻,缓和”；C 项 remove 意为“移除,去掉”；D 项 load 意为“负重,装货”. 4．【答案】A【解析】空格处所缺词在含义上与下文的信息 food 和 shelter（食物和遮蔽物）一致，对于战场上的士兵而言，这些就是维持生存最起码的条件，故 A 选项 necessities “生活必需品”为正确答案.B 项 facilities 意为“设备设施”；C 项 commodities 意为“商品,货物”；D 项 properties 意为“财产，资产”;均不符合题意.5．【答案】C【解析】空格之前的部分“This was not a volunteer soldier, not someone well paid.。

2022 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语〔二〕试题答案与解析Section I Use of English一、文章题材结构分析本文主要分析了无现金社会为何迟迟不来的原因。
第一段是文章的中心段落，指出真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来。
第二、三段从电子支付设备昂贵、纸质支票提供收据、使用纸质支票能获得浮存利息以及电子支付方式存在的平安隐私问题四个方面分析纸币系统得以继续存在的理由。
二、试题解析1．【答案】A 〔However〕说“真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来〞，两者之前出现了明显的转折关系，因此答案A。
B. moreover 表递进C.therefore 表结果D. Otherwise 表比照2．【答案】D 〔around〕【解析】由空格所在句的“but〞得知，句子前后是转折关系。
事实上,这样的预测已经二十年了,但迄今还没有实现。
A. off 停止; B. back 返回; C. over 结束，与后文均不构成转折，故答案选D. around 出现。
3．【答案】B 〔concept〕【解析】空格所在的句子意思为例如, 1975 年?商业周刊?预测电子支付手段不久将“彻底改变货币本身的____〞将四个选项带入，能够彻底改变的对象只能是金钱的概念〔定义〕，而A“力量〞,C“历史〞,D “角色〞，语义都不恰当，并且如果选择role 的话，应该是复数roles, 因为是金钱的作用不止一个，故答案选B。
4．【答案】D 〔reverse〕【解析】空格填入的动词跟前面的动词revolutionize 〔变革〕意思上应该是同义替换的，要选择含有变革，彻底改变意思的词汇，四个选项中A. reward 奖励B. 抵抗C. resume 重新开始，继续，都不适宜，只有D 选项reverse“颠覆〞最为贴切，本句译为“电子支付方式不久将改变货币的定义,并将在数年后颠覆货币本身。
〞5．【答案】C 〔slow〕能不会马上到来〞，因此也得出这种变革是一个缓慢的过程，故答案选择C。

future.In her new bookCogs and Monsters:What Economics Is,and What It Should Be,Diane Coyle,an economist at CambridgeUnivcrsity,argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress."Whatever wemean by the economy growing,by things getting better,the gains will have to be more evenly shared than inthe recent past,"she writes."An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers,withmiddle-income jobs undercut by automation,will not be politically sustainable."Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digitaltechnologies to boost productivity in various sectors,including health care and construction,says Coyle.Butpeople can't be expected to embrace the changes if they're not seeing the benefits—if they'rejust seeinggood jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review,Coyle said she fears that tech's inequality problemcould be a roadblock to deploying AI."We're talking about disruption,"she says."These are transformativetechnologies that change the ways we spend our time every day,that change business models that succeed.”To make such 'tremendous changes,"she adds,you need social buy-in.Instead,says Coyle,resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites ina handful of prosperous cities.According to the Brookings Institution,a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco,San Jose,Boston,and Seattle had roughly 38%of all tech jobs by 2019.New AI technologies areparticularly concentrated:Brookings's Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account fortwo-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States(San Francisco and San Jose alone accountfor about one-quarter).The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means thatgeographicaldisparities in wealth will continue to soar.Not only will this foster political and social unrest,but it could,asCoyle suggests,hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining theAI agenda.That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.Muroand others have suggested hefty federal funding to help create US regional innovation centers,for example.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies thatdon't simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care mostabout,like health care,education,and manufacturing.21.Coyle argues that economie growth should_A.give rise to innovationsB.diversity career

called for urgent action to reduce the country's relianceon timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations.Currently only 20 percent ofthe UK's wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the sccond-largest net importer of timber in theworld.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more trees,thetrade body says these don't go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timbersupplies.“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now,but we will also be facing a future construction crisisbecause of failure to plant trees to produce wood."said Stuart Goodall,chief executive of Confor."Fordecades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic wood supply,leaving us exposed tofluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall."The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader incertifying that its forests are sustainably managed,Confor says.While around three quarters ofScottishhomes are built from Scottish timber,the use of home-grown wood in England is only around 25 percent.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to theUK's net-zero strategy,the focus of government support continues to be on food production and therewinding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity.Goodall add:“While food productionand biodiversity are clearly of critical importance,we need our land to also provide secure supplies of woodfor construction,manufacturing and contribute to net zero.“While the UK govemment has stated its ambition for more tree planting,there has been little action onthe ground."Confor is now calling for much greater impetus bchind those aspirations to ensure we haveenough wood to meet increasing demand."26.It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that UK need

address construction crisisB.are believed to come at wrong timeC.seem to be misleadingD.too costly to put into practice28.The UK exposure to fuctuating wood prices is the result of________.ernment's inaction on timber importB.inadequate investment for woodpetition among traders at homeD.wood producers'motive to maximize profits29.Which of following causes the shortage of wood supply?A.excessive timber consumption in constructionB.unfavorable conditions in UKC.outdated technology for wood productionD.farmers'unwillingness to plan trees30.What does Goodall think US government should do?A.Subsidize the buildingB.Pay attention to rural economyC.Provide support for tree plantingD.Give priority to pursue net-zero strategyText 3One big challenge in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road is convincing them that it is time totumover the key.It is a complete life-changer when someone stops-or is forced to stop -driving,said formerrisk manager Anne M.Menke.The American Medical Association advises physicians that in situation where clear evidence ofsubstantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety,and where the physician'sadvice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored,it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department ofMotor Vehicles,Menke wrote."Some states require physicians to report,others allow but do not mandatereports,while a few consider a report breach of confidentiality.There could be liability and penalties if aphysician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality "she counseled.Part of the problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piccemeal bydifferent professions with different focuses,including gerontologists,highway administration officials,automotive engineers and others,said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan."There's not a National Institute ofOlder Driver Studies,"she said."We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe"and what can help,said DuganOne thing that does seem to work is requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal.Mandatoryin-person renewal was associated with a 31 percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers 85 or older,according to one study.Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for those drivers,although there appeared to be no benefit from combining the two.Many old drivers don't see eye doctors or can't afford to.Primary care providers have their hands fulland may not be able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they can't turn theirheads or remember where they are going—or have gotten shorter and haven't changed their seat settingssufficiently to reach car pedals easily, As long as there are other cars on the roads,self-driving cars won't solve the problems of crashes,saidDugan.Avoiding dangers posed by all those human drivers would require to many algorithms,she said.Butwe need to do more to improve safety,said Dugan."If we're going to have 100-year lives,we need cars thata 90-year-old can drive comfortably."31.Aecording to Paragraphl,keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road_ .A.is a ncw safety measureB.has become a disputed issueC.can be a tough task to completeD.will be beneficial to their health32.The American medical associations advice_ .A.has won support from driversB.is generally considered unrealisticC.is wide dismissed as unnecessaryD.has met with different responses33.According to Dugan,efforts to keep older drivers safe.A.have brought about big

a weakened memoryC.suffer from chronic painsD.neglect car maintenance35.Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in__A.npgrading self-driving vehicleB.developing senior-friendly carsC.renovating transport facilitiesD.adjusting the age limit for driversText 4The miracle of the Chesapeake Bay lies not in its depths,but in the complexity of its naturalconstruction,the interaction of fresh and saline waters,and the mix of land and water.The shallowsprovide homes for hundreds of species while storing floodwaters,filtering pollutants from water,and protecting nearby communities from potentially destructive storm surges.All this was put at great risk late last month,when the U.S.Supreme Court issued a ruling in anidaho case that provides the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)far less authority toregulate wetlands and waterways.Specifically,a 5-4 majority decided that wetlands protected bythe EPA under its Clean Water Act authority must have a "continuous surface connection"to bodiesof water.This narrowing of the regulatory scope was a victory for builders,mining operators andother commereial interests often at odds with environmental rules.And it carries "significantrepereussions for water quality and floodcontrol throughout the United States,"as Justice BrettKavanaugh observed.In Maryland,the good news is that there are many state laws in place that provide wetlandsprotections.But that's a very shortsighted view,particularly when it comes to the Chesapeake Bay.The reality is that water,and the pollutants that so often come with it,don't respeet stateboundaries.The Chesapeake draws from a 64,000-square-mile watershed that extends into Virginia,Pennsylvania,New York,West Virginia,the District of Columbia and Delaware.Will thosejurisdictions extend the same protections now denied under Sackettv.EPA?Perhaps some,but all?That seems unlikely.It is too easy,and misleading,to see such court rulings as merely standing up for the rights ofland owners when the consequences can be so dire for their neighbors.And it's a reminder that theEPA's involvement in the ChesapeakeBay Program has long
