2.EWe already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.Not long age. My wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that the world is bending up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emissions(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. . We wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household(家庭)produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning or driving cars. That’s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average, mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化)of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. “To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent,” he said.Good advice, I thought. I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I’d almost forgotten the windows even opened. We should not let this happen again. It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.72. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?A. To take special kinds of food B. To respond to climate change.C. To lose weight D. To improve their health

If they are (1) c____ as a consequence of being filmed by security cameras, having their phone calls (2) li____ to or their email messages read, (3) m____ just be the weapon we have long been looking for in our war against them. Recent (4) sci____ breakthroughs have also made it possible to solve crimes that took place decades (5)____, so that just about any story can be worked out from its ending. This, too, is good news; if it is true it means that there really is no hiding place for the wrongdoer, (6)____ the police will always get their man, and that crime doesn’t pay.The worrying thing is, of course, that it is not just the (7)____(crime) who are being watched.

Records are kept, and sometimes (8)____(sell), of the numbers we most often phone, while the emails we like to think of as being private and (9)____(person) are copied and stored by persons unknown. Some say this is the price of freedom (10)____ crime, and that the innocent have nothing to fear.

    正确答案: 1.caught 前文提到杀人犯和小偷被关进监狱,紧接着说他们被逮到的方式。
    2.listened 本句前文中提到电话,应该和“听“搭配。电话与听是被动关系,所以用Have something done结构
    3.may/might 句意:听到的电话或读到的邮件可能正是我们对抗他们所需要的,这里表猜测,用may/might
    4.scientific 与监听有关,应该是科学方面的发现,所以用scientific,科学的。
    5.ago 本句中用“took place”,所以这里应该填表示过去的时间副词,decades ago,几十年前。)
    6.that 这个宾语从句不缺成分,所以用that引导,并与前后两个以that开头的宾语从句构成排比句。
    7.criminals 由于引导词是who,所以应该填表人的名词
    8.sold 与kept并列,意为记录有时被收藏,有时被卖掉,用被动形式。
    9.personal 前面有being,所以应该转化为形容词。
    10.for 本句意思是“有人说这就是享受犯罪所带来的自由需要付出的代价,无罪的人永远无须害怕。”price for something,固定搭配,为某事付出的代价。
