问题 13: 1. Cet-4-1.8-Exercise 02 C) As demand for food rises faster than supplies are growing, the resulting food-price inflation puts severe stress on the governments of many countries.

If the food situation continues to worsen, entire nations will break down at an ever increasing rate. In the 20th century the main threat to international security was superpower conflict; today it is failing states.

选项:

问题 14: 2.

问题 16: 1. Cet-4-1.12-Exercise 01 F) Many members of the immobile class, on the other hand, live in the America of the gloomy headlines. If you have no specialized skills, there's little reason to uproot to another state and be the last in line for a low-paying job at a new auto plant or a green-energy startup.

选项:

A. We get a fairly large portion of calories from fast food and snacks.

B. Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.

问题 20: 1. Cet-4-1.15-Exercise 02 This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meal are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Counihan, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together” and strengthening family ties. Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more vigorous than our ancestors. What does “cultural metabolism” refer to?

选项:

A. Pace of life.

B. Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.

C. Changes in lifestyle.

D. Domestic violence is lessened.

问题 21: 1. Cet-4-1.17-Exercise 02 Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of conventional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in the summer and retaining indoor warmth in winter. The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don’t just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility’s power grid. The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power they tap off the grid, less the kilowatts they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero. How are the residents in the ZEH communities billed for electricity use?

选项:

A. They are confident of their future.

B. They do not get decent pay.

C. They pay for the electricity from the grid less their home-generated power.

D. They only pay for the excess power that flows into the utility’s power grid.

问题 24: 2. Cet-4-1.19-Exercise 01 Are people suffering from gadget overload?

问题 25: 1. Cet-4-1.20-Exercise 01 The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight.

问题 26: 2. Cet-4-1.20-Exercise 02 Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no-fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families. What’s the result of no-fault divorce?

选项:

A. It causes little pain to either side.

B. It was cited by the Berkeley study as an example.

C. More pressure at peak time.

D. Divorce is easier to obtain.
