We are now living in the modern society. Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release heat which p__1.___ the energy.

There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the G_2.___ Effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n__3.__ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.

Scientists are working on another fuel—hydrogen. There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the e__4.__ surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.

Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating (分离) it from water c_5.___, and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S__6.___ these problems is an urgent (急迫的) matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still l__7.___ oil and gas reserves(储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be bad if they are used.

In the modern age, human society runs on energy. Most machines need electricity to operate. Humans cannot live without electricity even a single day in their daily life and work. They have many different ways to create electricity. But some ways are harmful to the environment.

For example, fossil fuels (化石燃料) are the most common kind of energy.They include coal, oil, and natural gas. First, people have to dig them from the ground. This can sometimes harm the environment. However, scientists are creating cleaner and better ways to do that these days. So the environment is not harmed as much as before. But when people burn these fossil fuels, they can give off a lot of harmful gases, which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warning. This might harm the environment.

Tidal (潮汐) energy is another way to make electricity. This uses the ocean tides to make electricity. But some kinds of tidal energy can kill many fish and other sea animals. Also dams (大坝) can create lots of clean energy. But dams create lakes and change the way that rivers run. So they can do great harm to the balance of nature around the lakes and along the rivers.

Nuclear (核) energy is a very powerful form of energy. It is cheap. It is also very clean. But many people are afraid of it because it uses radioactive materials. Also, there have been some very serious accidents in the past which caused great harm to human and nature. But the technology is much better these days. so many countries are starting to use nuclear energy more.

1.In Paragraph I the underlined part “human society runs on energy” means “______”.

A.humans in the society waste much energy B.people use energy to make the world work

C.our society is full of varied kinds of energy D.humans cannot run fast without energy

Living in the information time, we are faced with tons of news about our county and society every day. But what is true and what is false? There is a group of people whose job is to offer an official (官方的) voice and form a bridge between governments, the public and the media (媒体). These people are news spokespersons.

Spokespersons usual host news conference (会议), where they explain policies (政策) and answer questions from the media. According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang, a news spokesperson is “a window into our county for the media, especially for the foreign media.”

To achieve this, news spokespersons are often experts in some fields. This way, they can clearly express these fields to the public.

For example, Wang Hui, the spokesperson for the Beijing government during the 2008 Olympics, was once a senior editor (编辑) at the Beijing TV station. She has lots of knowledge about how the media works. Mao Qun’an, who used to be a spokesperson for the Ministry of Heath, has a master’s degree in medicine. He helped a lot during the SARS illness of 2003.

Spokespersons also need to be able to think quickly. They often have to answer different kinds of questions from the media.

Spokespersons sometimes speak in their own style instead of always using official expressions. Here are a few examples.

It is easier to move a mountain than to shake the PLA. (Wu Qian)

What a waste of money it was for Japan to do so! (Yang Yujun)

1.Spokespersons usually host news conferences to ________　 policies and answer questions.

A.discuss B.explain C.make D.work out

Chinese TV shows that describe young people's lives in modern society are crossing the cultural divide and attracting a lot of foreign audiences.

One of the examples is the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era", a light comedy about a modern Chinese couple.

The TV series was first aired in Shanghai in November 2009. It was dubbed in Swahili and broadcast in east African countries in 2011. Two Kenyan（肯尼亚人） actresses were chosen to do voice dubbing for the two leading roles in the African version of the series. It was a great success in Africa.

Tanzanians（坦桑尼亚人） say that they are able to understand how young Chinese people live happily in modern times and they may be able to find ways to solve their personal problems by watching the series.

Although China is one of the world's most prolific（多产的） producers of TV series, its series are not particularly popular overseas. The popularity of "A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era" may serve as an example for Chinese TV producers who want to bring their work to other countries.

In recent years, some TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese cities have achieved some success in the foreign market.

"Go Lala Go!," a TV series that details the adventures of a female office worker named Du Lala, has also started to reach global audiences. The series has been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Canada.

"The Chinese dream will be more easily accepted by foreign audiences when it is manifested in small and touching stories," said Meng Jian, a professor at Fudan University.

Where Are We Going, Dad ? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children’s lives.

Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles.

What do you think is the most common illness? Do you get ill sometimes? We are lucky to live now, because there are lots of medicines to make people better.

The most common illness in the world is the cold. It often begins with a sore throat. Then you sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache too. Often you cough later. It’s not a very bad illness, but you can feel quite ill.

There isn’t a cure (治愈方法) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For instance, aspirin (阿斯匹林) can stop your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor once said to me, “With the proper medicine, a cold will continue for seven days. With no medicine, it will continue for a whole week!”

Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For instance, the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better.

In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals.

There are some illnesses which we can’t cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, most people now live longer than their grandparents__
