39、animation n. 动画【阅读理解】If you buy a washing machine, a fridge or a television in Europe, it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule, all appliances must be labelled (贴标签) with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system-which threatens 10, 000 species with extinction, produces about 30%
40、 of greenhouse gases, and drives 80% of our air pollution-only ever had voluntary eco-labels? The appliances ruling had a huge impact; initially, 75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D(low efficiency), but today 98% are classed A+ or A+. Worldwide, the energy efficiency of labelled appliances
41、 has increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact. Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First, producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way
42、and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive: it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Fieldprint and the Cool Farm Tool. Second, they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look, taste and cost the same can have drama
43、tically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5, 7000% more land and create 1, 000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers.

In the last few years, however, a number of states in America have dropped them. Although some states still use them for diplomas, the number i
79、s down from a high of 27 states during the testing craze promoted by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The appearance of this phenomenon is small wonder. Researches clearly show that exit tests have little positive effects on students. A 2014 report found exit testing was associated with lower graduation
80、 rates, negatively affected labor market outcomes, and, most alarmingly, produced a 12. 5 percent increase in incarceration (监禁) rates. Exit exams, the study concluded, had tended to add little value for most students. Exit testing relies on the following assumptions. One is that standardized testin
81、g can serve as a kind of “quality control” for high school graduates, guaranteeing that graduates are college ready. The other is that they have predicting value for future success in academic situations. But there is little evidence. The tests dont exactly measure what they pretend to measure. For
82、example, qualities such as intelligence, academic ability, college readiness are not determined. Those that should be developed in all young people, like responsibility, critical thinking, and empathy (移情), are not measured, either. Even supporters of exit tests have acknowledged that they dont offe
83、r reliable data. Thus, more and more people are suggesting that exit test scores ought to be just one component of the high school diploma. Schools should consider many other records including credits earned, courses taken, activities, service, projects and other elements of academic accomplishment
84、so that students can be evaluated flexibly. In other words, exit test scores should never be the only criterion for high school diplomas. _【参考范文】High school exit tests have been cancelled in some states in America in recent years. (要点1)This is not surprising because studies show they do little good to students. (要点2)Instead of ensuring college readiness and academic success, they actually dont measure what should be measured. (要点3)Therefore, exit test scores should only be one part of the standards of high school diplomas. (要点4)
