“Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low carbon economy. In terms of energy saving and green economy, China doesn't lag behind developed nations，” said Zhou Changyi, director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations, they also should learn something from us, such as water conservation，” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair.
He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to fight climate change. The United Kingdom, for example, is concerned about transport, buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China, the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.
Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life cycle assessment, or LCA, which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.
Tobias Becker, head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China, said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.
LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life cycle instead of on its initial investment.
Richard Hausmann, North East Asia CEO of Siemens, said, “The color of future industrialization is green.”The Germany company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros ( US 8.8 billion) for intelligent power networks, Smart Grid, over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.
A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology, advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy, reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.
1．Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “lag behind” in Paragraph 1
A．Act better than. B．Perform worse than.
C．Run faster than. D．Keep quieter than.
2．________ about Smart Grid isn't mentioned in the text.
A．Small in size B．Low cost
C．Energy saving D．Security
3．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Intelligent Power Networks
B．Low carbon Economy—a Shared Goal
C．Two Biggest Markets for Smart Grid
D．Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn from Each Other

People asked to imagine how flooding or droughts would affect particular people or places were more likely to engage in environmentally friendly actions.
Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro environmental behavior, a new study suggests.
Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常)，floods and other climate change related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group.
All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as “How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world？” They used a scale from 1 (“very unlikely”) to 7 (“very likely”). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants.
Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one. And when offered a choice of a vegetarian (素食主义的)or nonvegetarian lunch box, nearly half the visualizers selected the environmentally friendlier meatless choice—compared with about 28 percent of the nonvisualizers.
The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day to day lives—something further studies should examine, says study co author Wen Bin Chiou. Moreover, the research “should be done again in other places with other populations，” says Robert Gifford, a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, who was not involved in the work.
The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual reality demonstrations (展示)in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.
4．Which of the following statements about the study is true
A．Only one experiment was carried out for the study.
B．Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study.
C．The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment.
D．Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't.
5．Future studies will probably be about whether ________.
A．it is true of other populations in other places
B．more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change related events
C．people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily lives
D．climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group
6．To put the research into practice, Wen Bin Chiou suggests that ________.
A．the government call on people to live a low carbon life
B．people use air conditioning in an energy saving manner
C．people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilities
D．news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on peoples lives
7．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．different people may have different reactions to climate change
B．different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different ways
C．people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate change
D．college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change

People asked to imagine how flooding or droughts would affect particular people or places were more likely to engage in environmentally friendly actions.
Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro environmental behavior, a new study suggests.
Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常)，floods and other climate change related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group.
All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as “How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world？” They used a scale from 1 (“very unlikely”) to 7 (“very likely”). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants.
Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one.

For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual reality demonstrations (展示)in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.
这是一篇说明文。作者在文中向我们描述了一项新的研究：如果让人们想象干旱或洪水的后果可能有助于他们改变“气候变化是一个遥远的威胁”这个观念，并鼓励有利于环境的行为。
4．Which of the following statements about the study is true
A．Only one experiment was carried out for the study.
B．Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study.
C．The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment.
D．Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由第四段“The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not”可知，被要求设想详细情景的受试者的平均得分高于未被要求设想详细情景的受试者的平均得分。故D选项正确。
5．Future studies will probably be about whether ________.
A．it is true of other populations in other places
B．more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change related events
C．people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily lives
D．climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段“The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts.”可知，这些发现可以用来引起公众对气候变化的关注。例如，他建议关于这一现象的新闻报道可以包括其对人们生活影响的生动描述，并要求读者想象经历这样的影响。所以判断出未来的研究可能是关于气候变化是否将使人们考虑加入一个控制组。故选D。
6．To put the research into practice, Wen Bin Chiou suggests that ________.
A．the government call on people to live a low carbon life
B．people use air conditioning in an energy saving manner
C．people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilities
D．news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on peoples lives
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由最后一段“Having virtual reality demonstrations (展示)in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.”可知，Chiou 补充说，在当地的科学博物馆里进行虚拟现实演示，展示气候变化的后果，是将这项研究付诸实践的另一种方式。故C选项正确。
7．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．different people may have different reactions to climate change
B．different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different ways
C．people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate change
D．college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change
答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。由短文第二段“But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro environmental behavior, a new study suggests.”可知，但一项新的研究表明，让他们想象由此产生的干旱或洪水的后果可能有助于改变“气候变化是一个遥远的威胁”这一观念，并鼓励有利于环境的行为。并结合下文可知短文主要告诉我们，人们在考虑到气候变化的生动的影响后，可能会改变他们的行为。故C选项正确。
