18、ould help the administration of President Barack Obama get near its short-term climate goal, even if the U. S. Congress fails this year or next to pass a bill tackling greenhouse gases directly. Senate Democrats crafting an energy bill have abandoned it until September, and for the rest of the year
19、they probably will not debate climate measures like carbon caps on power plants and mandates(授权) for utilities to produce more power from renewable sources like wind and solar. But while many people concerned about climate control have been focusing on the Senate, the Environmental Protection Agency
20、, under its administrator, Lisa P. Jackson, has been quietly preparing to crack down on coal, the most carbon-intensive fuel, as never before. Under Ms. Jacksonwho has said the idea that progress on the environment has to hurt the economy is a false choicethe agency declared late last year that gree
21、nhouse gases endangered human health and welfare. The agency has begun to take steps to regulate greenhouse gases from automobiles, power plants and factories. But its proposed rules on mainstream pollutants, those that can cause diseases, may limit carbon dioxide emissions the most. While the agenc
22、y is considering new rules for coal, its proposal for emissions of mercury, which go up smokestacks at coal-fired power plants and enter the environment, could pack a bigger punch. The rule, which the agency was required by U. S. courts to issue by November 2011, is likely to help push many of the o
23、ldest and dirtiest emitters of carbon into retirement. When combined with the agencys other current and coming rules on criteria pollutants, like ones that cause acid rain and smog, the mercury measure would require utilities to invest tens of millions of dollars on technologies to remove the substa
24、nces. Francois Broquin, who has written reports on coal for Bernstein Research, said the combined rules could push as much as 20 percent of U. S. coal-fired electric generation capacity into retirement by 2015. Obviously that will have an impact, he said. Frank Odonnell, president of Clean Air Watch
25、, an environmental group, said that retirement of a large number of coal-fired plants could help the country exceed Mr. Obamas goat of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020, measuring from 2005 levels. Weve thought for a long time that proper enforcement of the Clean Air Act, laws alr
26、eady on the books, can have the unintended benefit of really doing something on climate, he said. The World Resources Institute, an international environmental group, said that aggressive action on existing U. S. national rules and state plans could reduce emissions almost as much as Mr. Obama wants
27、 by 2020. But it said implementation of the proposed rules on mercury and other issues could get even closer.What is true about the proposed rule on mercuryAIt will prohibit the emission of mercury pollutant strictly.BIt will help U. S. government deal with climate problem.CIt will hinder the U. S.
28、Congress from passing a bill on greenhouse gases.DIt will encourage the production of more power from renewable sources. 39.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.AIt brings better communication between offices.BIt improves the office environment.CIt highlights the comp
29、etitive advantage of the company.DIt makes enormous financial profits. 40.Passage TwoAPromoting interpersonal relationship.BAchieving high credibility.CImproving office communication.DImproving work efficiency. 41.A Responsibility Revolution 42.Last Wednesday in Sewanee, Tenn., the University of the
30、 South elected a new leader, John M. McCardell Jr. As I sat listening to McCardell accept his election, I thought, not for the first time, about the difficulty of making the case for something so expensive and so seemingly oldan undergraduate liberal educationin an economic and cultural climate that
31、 favors efficiency and tangibility(确切性). It is inarguably hard to monetize a familiarity with Homer or an intimacy with Shakespeare. It is just possible, though, that the traditional understanding of the liberal arts may help us in our search for new innovation and new competitiveness. The next chap
32、ter of the nations economic life could well be written not only by engineers but by entrepreneurs who, as products of an apparently different education, have formed a habit of mind that enables them to connect ideas that might otherwise have gone unconnected. As Alan Brinkley, the historian and form
33、er provost(院长) of Columbia, has argued, liberal education is a crucial element in the creation of wealth, lobs, and, one hopes, a fairer and more just nation. Barack Obama started out at such a school before moving to Columbia, where the core curriculum requires undergraduates to be grounded in basi
34、c literature, philosophy, and history. Steve Jobs, who dropped out of Oregons Reed College, nevertheless credits a calligraphy class he attended there with providing part of the inspiration for the Macintosh. Employers say all the time that they value clarity of writing and verbal expression, and th
35、at they often find liberal-arts graduates expert in both. We need to make sure that the liberal arts prepare people for a good life, not just the good life. For too long private colleges like mine have been seen, with more than a little justice, as provinces of the already wealthy. Such institutions
36、 devote a lot of resources to remedying this, but educations at the more elite private schools are prohibitively expensive, and always will be. Which is why the state universities that guarantee liberal-arts programs should continue that good work. There is never enough money, but cutting the libera
37、l arts is a false economy. The other emerging market is the world of online education. I am unapologetically prejudiced. Yet the fact remains that digital educational enterprises are to the 21st century what public universities were in previous generations: accessible and more affordable means for p
38、eople to better their minds and their lives. For some the future will be shaped by a Sewanee, for others by a business course taught online. The unifying theme that connected my own reflections among the bishops was straightforward: if the country is to prospereconomically, culturally, morallywe hav
39、e to trust in the institutions, old and new, that nurture creativity, and then hope for the best.What did the author mainly concern about as he sat listening to McCardell accept his electionAThe ability of McCardell to take full responsibility of the liberal-arts college.BThe difficulty of undergrad
40、uate liberal education encountered at present.CThe necessity of reforming liberal arts in new economic and cultural climate.DThe possibility for common people to learn about Homer or Shakespeare. 43.As most parents of small children will reluctantly admit, nothing can occupy a child quite like telev
41、ision. Unfortunately, the scientific evidence suggests that using TV as a babysitter has its (62) the more time babies spend sitting in front of the screen, the more their social, cognitive and language development may (63) . Recent studies show that TV-viewing tends to decrease babies (64) of learn
42、ing new words, talking, playing and otherwise (65) with others. A new study published in the Archive of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (66) to that evidence while introducing an (67) new perspective. Many studies have suggested that television hamper learning by (68) youngsters ability to intera
43、ct with others, and according to Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a University of Washington pediatrician (儿科医生), that effect may be (69) when parents get drawn into TV-watching too. Christakis reports that when babies get (70) up with whats playing on television, their parents are equally likely to get dist
44、racted, which limits their (71) with their kids. Its a three-way interaction, with TV affecting both children and their parents, and the parents detachment (72) impairing their children. Christakis argues that (73) what is playing on the screen, television by nature is a passive medium that hampers
45、rich social interaction. (74) when parents and children interacted actively while watching TV together, the net effect of having it turned on, for a few minutes or hours, was a drop in talking. On (75) , the study found, when the TV is switched on, youngsters spend more time (76) silence and solitude than they do in active social interaction. (77) his previous findings on the issue, his feeling is that television probably isnt the ideal medium for (78) real interaction b
