The British economy is showing the greatest signs of stress since the Eurozone crisis and fears of a double-dip recession（衰退）six years ago, as worrying reports show the steepest fall in manufacturing（制造业）output and the greatest degrees of pessimism among employers since 2012. Concerns over Brexit（英国脱欧）and a slowdown for high street spending are among the major factors contributing towards 2018 being the worst time in six years for British firms planning to take on new staff, according to a closely watched survey conducted by the employment firm ManpowerGroup.

Watched by the Bank of England and the government for early warnings of hiring increases or downturns, the quarterly poll（季度民意调查）of about 2,000 major employers from nine different industry sectors across the UK found a net balance of only 4% planning to hire more staff rather than cutting back.

The weakest outlook from the survey was reserved for the banking and finance industry, which recorded the worst outlook since the depths of the financial crisis almost a decade ago, suggesting job cuts may be on the way over the summer.

The barometer（晴雨表）of hiring sentiment comes as Britain’s factories unexpectedly recorded the sharpest drop in output for more than five years in April. Pointing to fewer orders for steel used in infrastructure（基础设施）projects and a wider slowdown in demand for British goods at home and abroad, the Office for National Statistics said manufacturing output fell by 1.4% in April from the previous month. Economists had forecast modest growth of 0.3%.

Although the situation does not appear to be as severe this year, forecasts issued by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on Monday suggest the UK has done little to bounce back from heavy snowfall earlier in 2018. Putting the growth rate for GDP at only 0.2% in the three-month period to May, up from 0.1% in the same period ending in April, Niesr’s head of UK macroeconomic forecasting, Amit Kara, said: “Economic growth has slowed materially since the start of this year and it continues to remain weak.”

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The British economy is booming now.

B. The British economy is going through a great depression.

C. People are not concerned about Brexit at all.

D. British firms are planning to take on new stuff.

A. development　　 B. demand

C. distribute　　 D. decline

3.What indicates that the hiring sentiment has come?

A. The recession in banking and finance industry.

B. The sharpest drop in output recorded by Britain’s factories.

C. GDP increasing at a rather low rate.

D. The surplus of British goods at home and abroad.

4.What is the Amit Kara’s attitude toward the current economic situation?

A crisis is on the way. Global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it—Facebook, Twitter, etc.

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to end the written world. None did. Reading survived; In fact, it not only survived, but it has developed better. The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations(插图), an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts, pictures, and videos.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化).One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span(时间)—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

1.In Paragraph 2,we can learn 　　　　　　　 .

A. the disappearance of traditional books

B. the development of human civilization

C. the historical challenges for reading

D. the birth of pioneering e-books

2.According to the passage, the advantage of e-books is　　　　　　　 .

A. 1imited link

B. imaginative design

C. low cost

D. varied contents

3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

A. Doubtful　　 B. Worried

C. Shocked　　 D. Hopeful

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading.

B. Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing.

C. Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience.

D. Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice.

高二英语短对话中等难度题查看答案及解析

China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self-motivated efforts as well as serious commitment.

At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China's plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions( 排放)per unit of GDP by 60-65 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, and increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent.

With a large population, China is facing increasing resource limits, severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem, and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems. Suffering environmental problems and seeing the efforts as important to transforming its economic growth pattern, the country has much at risk if climate change is left unattended.

Actually, climate change efforts are already included in China's medium-and long-term program of economic and social development, and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five-Year Plan(2016-2020).

Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time to come, China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change, now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and use of new and renewable energies.

However, China's development rights need to be respected. It is unfair to overstress China's status as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change.

It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower　 than those of developed countries, especially the United States, although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the gases.

To show its great resolve, Beijing in September also announced the establishment of an　 independent South-South cooperation fund of 20 billion RMB to help developing countries affected by global warming.

While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitments, developed countries should　 stop questioning China's commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers, and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead.

1.China is self-motivated to fight against climate change in order to_____

A.top the world B.transform its economic pattern

C.solve its population problem D.respond to pressure from developed countries

2.The underlined word "it" in paragraph 7 refers to _____

A.China B.the United States

C.economic expansion D.the population base

3.It can be inferred from the text that_______

A.China will completely use non-fossil fuels by 2030

B.China will carry out its plan by stopping its development

C.Chinese emit more greenhouse gases than Americans on average

D.some developed countries are not taking on their due responsibilities

4.Which of the following is a sign of China's self-motivated fight against climate change?

A.Expanding its economy

B.Using non-renewable energies.

C.Making it part of China's 13th Five-Year Plan.

D.Donating money to developing countries
