You could send your kids into a cart while

26、you did shopping. You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your mother bought. You didn't know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didn't care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all, you'd bought these things a hundred times. But now, I real

27、ly look on those days with a feeling of yearn (怀旧). How innocent（清白的） we were! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I'm shaving from my life. I keep a car

28、eful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper - proof packaging. I am a victim of that most dangerous social disease: shoppers' panic. I didn't realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market, gr

29、ab a box of the old reliable and pay for it. I hadn't planned on discovering Ecover, a new brand of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable. "Healthy, gentle but effective. "My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package. The

30、n I looked at the price: $ 5.69 for 2 pounds. $ 5.69 ! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on sale for $ 1.39. Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Who's going to pay six bucks for laundry soap? It's not as though I can't afford it. See, it's concentra

31、ted use less, get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials. . . . This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all. Surely the meat department is most threatening place. Remember when protein was good for you? That's all over. E

32、very bite you take kills you. I won't even mention meat's moral influence.When all is said and done, we still must eat. I gather up my healthy cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.56. In the first paragraph, the author mainly wants to tell us that in the

33、past_.A. it was convenient to go shopping in the supermarketB. shopping in the supermarket was very boringC. we never read the labels of commodities in the supermarketD. we used to buy the same brands of products in the supermarket 57. Recalling the old days' shopping in the supermarket, the aut

34、hor thinks it was_A. pleasant B. fresh C. dangerous D. crazy 58.Eating pork chops will mean that _.A. you must have a shave after that B. you should think of the old daysC. you are killing yourself slowly D. you must go on diet after that 59.

36、alth.D. She is greatly affected by social influences.B Everyone agrees that its necessary to reduce carbon emissions (排放物) around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap and trade carbo

37、n emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?With cap and trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the limit can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purch

38、ase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap and trade has the upper hand, but doesnt defeat the tax just yet

39、.Supporters of the tax argue that a cap and trade system would be too difficult to administer and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap and trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower income families, w

40、ho spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy(倡导者) group

41、. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments havent figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.61The passage focuses on .Aprograms of collecting taxes Bsystems of reducing carbon emissionsCreasons for reducing carbon emissions Dcontra

42、dictions between the two systems62According to the cap and trade program, companies .Aare forbidden to produce carbon emissionsBare allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionCcan sell their remaining allowance within their limitsDcan sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price63Carbon tax

43、es work by .Aburdening well off families Bencouraging industries to consume carbonCraising the price for carbon consumptionDlimiting the carbon consumption of industries only64We can learn from the passage .Acarbon taxes are difficult to carry out Bcap and trade plays a greater role at presentCcap a

44、nd trade will be preferable in the futureDcarbon taxes will be preferable in the futureC.Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart.
