Doesnt
37、 it? If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence” and its rh
38、etorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.Th
39、e first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they dont really want to produce al
40、l their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental im
41、pacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a
42、large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the
43、pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.59. What does the author say about energy independence for America?A. It ensures national sec
44、urity. B. It sounds very attractive. C. It will bring oil prices down D. It has long been everyones dream.60. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A. It wants to expand its storage of crude oil(原油).B. Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C. It wants to keep its own environment undama
45、ged.D. Its own oil production falls short of demand. 61. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It proves profitable to both sides. B. It improves economic efficiency. C. It makes for economic prosperity. D. It saves the cost of oil exploration. CThe winter of 1892 was darkened by the one cloud
46、 in my childhoods bright sky. Joy deserted my heart, and for a long, long time I lived in doubt, anxiety and fear. Books lost their charm for me, and even now the thought of those dreadful days chills my heart. A little story called “The Frost King” which I wrote and sent to Mr. Anagnos, of the Perk
47、ins Institution for the Blind, was at the root of the trouble. In order to make the matter clear, I must set forth the facts connected with this episode, which justice to my teacher and to myself compels me to relate.I wrote the story when I was at home, the autumn after I had learned to speak. We h
48、ad stayed up at Fern Quarry later than usual. While we were there, Miss Sullivan had described to me the beauties of the late leaves, and it seemed that her descriptions revived the memory of a story, which must have been read to me, and which I must have unconsciously retained. I thought then that
49、I was “making up a story,” as children say, and I eagerly sat down to write it before the ideas should slip from me. My thoughts flowed easily; I felt a sense of joy in the composition. Words and images came tripping to my finger ends, and as I thought out sentence after sentence, I wrote them on my
50、 Braille slate. Now, if words and images come to me without effort, it is a pretty sure sign that they are not the offspring of my own mind, but stray waifs（流浪儿）that I regretfully dismiss. At that time I eagerly absorbed everything I read without a thought of authorship, and even now I cannot be qui
51、te sure of the boundary line between my ideas and those I find in books. I suppose that is because so many of my impressions come to me through the medium of others eyes and ears.When the story was finished, I read it to my teacher, and I recall now vividly the pleasure I felt in the more beautiful
52、passages, and my annoyance at being interrupted to have the pronunciation of a word corrected. At dinner it was read to the assembled family, who were surprised that I could write so well. Someone asked me if I had read it in a book.This question surprised me very much, for I had not the faintest re
53、collection of having had it read to me. I spoke up and said, “Oh, no, it is my story, and I have written it for Mr. Anagnos.”Accordingly I copied the story and sent it to him for his birthday. It was suggested that I should change the title from “Autumn Leaves” to “The Frost King” which I did. I car
54、ried the little story to the post office myself, feeling as if I were walking on air. I little dreamed how cruelly I should pay for that birthday gift. Mr. Anagnos was delighted with The Frost King and published it in one of the Perkins Institution reports. This was the summit of my happiness, from
55、which I was in a little while dashed to earth. I had been in Boston only a short time when it was discovered that a story similar to The Frost King, called The Frost Fairies, by Miss Margaret T. Canby, had appeared before I was born in a book called Birdie and His Friends. The two stories were so mu
56、ch alike in thought and language that it was evident Miss Canbys story had been read to me, and that mine was a plagiarism(剽窃). It was difficult to make me understand this; but when I did understand I was astonished and sad. No child ever drank deeper of the cup of bitterness than I did. I had disgr
57、aced myself; I had brought suspicion upon those I loved best. And yet how could it possibly have happened? I racked my brain until I was weary to recall anything about the frost that I had read before I wrote The Frost King; but I could remember nothing, except the common reference to Jack Frost, an
58、d a poem for children, The Freaks of the Frost, and I knew I had not used that in my composition.62. Why did the writer describe so many details about writing the story the Frost King?A. Because she was deeply impressed by the atmosphere then.B. Because she wanted her readers to understand the story
59、 clearly.C. Because she wanted to prove her story was not related to any other story.D. Because she wanted her teacher and herself to be treated fairly.63. The underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably means “_”.A. things that can bring depression or miseryB. words or images the writer had
60、read but forgottenC. sentences or stories written by othersD. things that make the writer ashamed or regretful64. What did the writer think when she realized her story was a plagiarism?A. She thought she was the only child that drank the cup of bitterness.B. She thought it was very sad and a disgrac

67、当的单词。Was Jesus Happy? 来源:Zxxk.ComAmericans tend to think Jesus was happy, extroverted（外向的）, agreeable, kind and caring. Koreans, on the other hand, associate Jesus more with suffering, sacrifice, and pity, according to a recent analysis in Personality and Social Psychology Connections.Responses to t
68、he simple question about Jesus and happiness, whose Biblical description is essentially the same worldwide, turn out to involve complex factors, such as shared life histories, culture and possibly even genetics. “Americans meet far more strangers than others and need to be more extroverted than the
69、Japanese, Koreans and others who tend to interact with a small number of people repeatedly, so extroversion is a highly valued asset in the U.S.,” Shigehiro Oishi, lead author of the study, told Discovery News. “In the end, happiness, extroversion, and kindness are all highly valued qualities among
70、Americans, and they might just see Jesus to have these highly desirable characteristics.”Oishi said that “Buddhism and other religions had been firmly in place in Korea before the introduction of Christianity, and life is suffering in Buddhism. The main goal of Buddhism was to reduce pain and suffer
71、ing.”Other cultural differences may further explain the American and Korean responses. Oishi said such differences pose “an egg and chicken problem” involving genetics and shared life experiences, since one can affect the other. It is also unclear if the image of Jesus might be culturally constructe
72、d to fit an existing ideal, or if it could reflect an individuals self-image.Casey Eggleston, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told Discovery News that language differences also come into play, with the meaning of happiness differing across cultures over time.“The historical definition of
73、 happiness included concepts of luck and good fortune, but that meaning has fallen out of use in the U.S., where many believe they can pursue and obtain happiness by their own effort, while it remains a major part of the concept in most other cultures,” she explained.“Similarly, the emotional connot
74、ation of the word happy varies greatly. While the American concept typically includes upbeat positive emotions like excitement, the concept in East Asia tends to focus more on calm positive emotions like peace and contentment.”The researchers chose to focus on two particular countries, but they expe
75、ct respondents in other nations with a large Christian base would also provide different, culture-predicted responses to the question, “Was Jesus happy?”As for Oishis answer to whether or not Jesus was happy, he said, “I dont know for sure, but I dont think so. He had a tough life.”ThemeWas Jesus ha

The charity sale will provide us with an opportunity to make a difference to some people as well as the warm feeling we can get inside when we do something nice for others. 版权所有：高考资源网()
