2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（70）及答案阅读理解-a(福建质量检测)as demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if were to meet the worlds needs. and because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. but, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where theyre needed most. and thats only part of the challenge. the world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities(设施) to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied(液化的) natural gas (lng), are not nearly as developed.so what needs to be done? on the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. the governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable (可持续的) development to ensure theyll have enough supplies in the future. that means building the related facilities, including lng stations. this, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. and energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. they must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.expanding and diversifying(使多样化) energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. weve taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.语篇解读：随着社会的发展，煤、石油等传统能源已经很难满足人们的需求，这就需要我们更好地开发和利用其他能源。而天然气无疑将为解决能源短缺问题发挥重要作用，因此应加快对其开发和利用。10which of the following is true according to the passage?agas played a major part in the 20th

introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). at one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). after a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).the importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. the goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. one strategy is called market modification. it means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. a marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.another product extension strategy is called product modification. it involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. american auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.45. according to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand

touch with teen ink two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. one showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. researchers at harvard university in the united states did the study. they had about 200 college students play a game known as the prisoners dilemma. the game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.the students played in groups of four. each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. but each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.harvard researcher david rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. the groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least.and the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. the group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment.the other study involved children. researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. more than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. more than 700 children were ages five to nine.the two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.the study says the iqs - or intelligence quotients - of the younger children who were not spanked（掴）were five points higher than those who were. in the older group, the difference was almost three points.murray strauss from the university of new hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children. he says the more they are spanked, the slower their ment
