单选题Read the following passage and answer questions 19~25. For questions 19-25, choose the correct answer A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet. In my early childhood I received no formal religious education. I did, of course, receive the ethical and moral training that moral and conscientious parents give their children. When I was about ten years old, my parents decided that it would be good for me to receive some formal religious instruction and to study the Bible, if for no other reason than that knowledge of both is essential to the understanding of literature and culture. As lapsed Catholics, they sought a group which had as little doctrine and dogma as possible, but what they considered good moral arid ethical values. After some searching, they joined the local Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. Although my parents did not attend Meetings for Worship very often, I went to First Day School there regularly, eventually completing the course and receiving an inscribed Bible. At the Quaker school, I learned about the concept of the "inner light" and it has stayed with me. I was, however, unable to accept the idea of Jesus Christ being any more divine than, say, Buddha. As a result, I became estranged from the Quakes who, though believing in substantially the same moral and ethical values as I do, and even the same religious concept of the inner light, had arrived at these conclusions from a premise which I could not accept. I admit that my religion is the poorer for having no revealed word and no supreme prophet, but my inherited aversion to dogmatism limits my faith to a Supreme Being and the goodness of man. Later, at another Meeting for Worship, I found that some Quakers had similar though not so strong reservations about the Christian aspects of their belief. I made some attempt to rejoin an organized religious group; I did not wish to become one again. I do attend Meeting for Worship on occasion, but it is for the help in deep contemplation which it brings rather than any lingering desire to rejoin the fold. I do believe in a "Supreme Being"(or ground of our Being, as Tillich would call it). This Being is ineffable and not to be fully understood by humans. He is not cut off from the world and we can know him somewhat through the knowledge which we are limited to the world. He is interested and concerned for humankind, but on man himself falls the burden of his own life. To me the message of the great prophets, especially Jesus, is that good is its own reward, and indeed the only possible rewards are intrinsic in the actions themselves. The relationship between each human and Supreme Being is an entirely personal one. It is my faith that each person has this unique relationship with the Supreme Being. To me that is the meaning of the inner light. The purpose of life, insofar as a human can grasp it, is to understand and increase this lifeline to the Supreme Being, this piece of divinity that every human has. Thus, the taking of any life by choice is the closing of some connection to God, and unconscionable. Killing anyone not only denies them their purpose, but corrupts the purpose of all men.

A Talent Shortage Hits Green Start-ups On May 1 applications closed for the first intake of a novel kind of executive-education programme. Set up by a bunch of venture-capital firms and other companies in New England, the three-month course will teach its "fellows" about renewable energy. To qualify for a fellowship, applicants must be successful entrepreneurs from other industries, such as IT or health care, and be zealous about profiting from greenery. "A lack of talent, especially entrepreneurial talent, was one of the biggest bottlenecks to growth we identified in the clean-tech industry," says Peter Rothstein of Flagship Ventures, a venture-capital firm that is one of the programme's founders. That bottleneck worries investors, who have been pouring cash into everything from solar energy to hybrid electric cars: last year global investment in renewable-energy businesses alone rose by 60%, to $148.4 billion, according to New Energy Finance (NEF), a research firm. Although the prospect of minting money while helping to save the planet has attracted a stream of executives from other industries to clean-tech start-ups, few of them have much experience of their new field. In a recent global survey of 75 senior executives involved in clean-tech firms conducted by NEF and Heidrick & Struggles, a headhunter, over 90% cited top-level recruitment as a serious concern. Counting on converts from other industries is risky, because some of the skills needed to run clean-tech companies are very different from those required to, say, launch a website. For one thing, the bosses of renewable-energy start-ups need to understand enough about the science to be able to pluck scientists from obscurity. For another, they need a grasp of project-financing techniques for costly prototype power plants. They also need to be able to deal with capricious regulatory and fiscal regimes. "If you've never done anything in the energy space, it can be intimidating,"says Bill Davis, the boss of Ze-gen, a start-up that generates electricity from waste. Hence the New England bootcamp's goal of helping 25 aspiring green entrepreneurs a year to make the transition. As well as giving them an overview of the latest scientific research, the course also includes sessions on project finance and government regulations. Start-ups also face a battle for engineers and scientists. And as small firms take advantage of a growing enthusiasm for greenery in East Asia and the Middle East, they also need more staff with international experience. Tracking down such rare pearls can be a distraction for busy bosses. Ann Cormack, the head of DI-BP Fuel Crops, a firm based in London that develops crops for biodiesel, reckons talent-spotting takes up about a fifth of her time. She has spent several months hunting for an agronomist, for instance, to no avail. Like the bosses of many other clean-tech firms, Ms Cormack is using headhunters. They like the clean-tech business because wages, on which their commissions tend to be based, are rising fast. Not so long ago, executives would do meaningful green jobs for menial pay. But in recent years, wages have soared as the industry has grown and attracted big utilities and private-equity firms. Now what matters to the geeks is a different kind of green. "Good people can set their own price tag," says one recruiter, "and they want jam tomorrow, not in five years." It looks like they'll get it.

There are many different reasons why we should recycle paper products, and some of these are【C1】______in the paragraphs below. Energy consumption will always be on the【C2】______as population levels grow, and so any manufacturing processes which help to reduce energy consumption are【C3】______ The Energy Information Administration(EIA)claim that there can be as【C4】______as a 40% energy saving when recycling paper over producing paper【C5】______the direct raw material. Although recycling paper has many【C6】______, it also has its drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is that we cannot recycle the【C7】______paper product for eternity, as the fibers contained within the paper degrade over time,【C8】______their strength and length. On【C9】______, an individual paper fiber can only be recycled a【C10】______of six times. Although this is a significant drawback, the six time recycling process will help to【C11】______a great deal of energy when you consider【C12】______much paper there is to be recycled. If paper fibers can be recycled up to 6 times, and we recycled all paper products, this could help to【C13】______the intensity of deforestation for paper products up to a factor of 6. With paper production said to【C14】______around 40% of harvested wood, and paper said to【C15】______around 90% wood, you can see how recycling paper is an important process for the【C16】______of our forests. Today, the use of recycled paper products is on the increase, as more and more people begin to recycle paper【C17】______products around the home. Although there are slight differences in the recycling processes of different【C18】______of paper products(e.g. corrugated, mixed paper, newspaper products), we are able to recycle just about any type of paper product around today. The recycling logo helps to【C19】______a recyclable product and can also sometimes help to identify if the product contains any recycled material, in the form of a percentage. This helps a consumer to identify the【C20】______of recycling various products.

单选题In Britain, agreements for inviting and entertaining guest at a wedding are usually the responsibility of the bride's family. In most cases, mainly friends and relations of both families are invited. But when the bride's father is a businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients and customers and other people whose will may be of advantage to him. It is, however, the bride's mother who has the job of sending the formal printed invitation cards. In the case of a church wedding, the vicar of each parish in which the bride and the bridegroom live is normally informed about a month advance of the ceremony so that the announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of their partner is order to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy(重婚)must have been more effective in the days when people moved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bridesmaids, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usually. The reception, which follows, may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are a few guests, in the bride's own home. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding cake is cut and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off to change into the everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon. The journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.
