单项选择题
1、Passage Two
Quesaonsare based on thefollowingpassage
Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it，doesn’t it?If you think so，you’re not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents 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 rhetorical(修辞的)companion“energy security”are，however’slippery concepts that are rarely thought 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 oil from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy nmning．Yes，there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)availaB．e，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second．Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all 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 impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third，there are benefits to trade．It sllows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit．And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels ofpetroleum 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 feelthe pain in short supplies and higher prices．At the same time，we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most afrordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作，通过阅读，人们能更好地学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。

中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2％，该比例在所有核国家中居第30位，几乎是的。2011年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，终止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年lo月，审批才又谨慎地恢复。随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核事故的可能性完全可以降低到程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
