单选题The Elk City garbage dumps are so full that Elk City has been forced to pay a large sum to Caribou City to accept much of Elk City’s garbage. The Elk City mayor has proposed paying for this garbage relocation by imposing a tax on manufacturing businesses in Elk City. MegaCorp, the largest manufacturing business in the area, protests that this tax is unfair because businesses should not have to pay for a garbage problem that has been created by homeowners.　 Which of the following, if true, most weakens MegaCorp’s argument?A MegaCorp already pays more than $10,000 per year in taxes and fees to Elk CityB MegaCorp employs more than 60 percent of the employed residents of Elk City.C A recycling program would address the garbage problem more effectively by reducing the overall quantity of waste.D MegaCorp’s manufacturing processes produce more than 90 percent of the total waste that goes into Elk City’s garbage dumps.E Caribou City is happy to receive the extra garbage because the fees it collects from Elk City have helped to address a shortfall in education funding.

考题 What is the 'biggest city in the world? That is, (21) city has the largest population? This seems like (22) question to answer, but actually it isn't.It's actually rather difficult to say which cities (23) the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries, that is, where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all cities have a large (24) area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.The second reason that it is difficult to 25 the population of different cities is this: it is almost impossible to get (26) about the population of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an (27) of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we real ly can't compare the numbers because the information is for (28) different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia, may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly.So we can say that these are our two (29) for comparing the populations of cities: one, it's difficult to determine the (30) of a city, and two, it is difficult to get accurate information.21. A. whatB. whichC. whereD. how

考题 2 John Dixon is the recently appointed Chief of Police for a major city in the UK. He has inherited a major problem inthat its residents are very concerned with various forms of antisocial behaviour and minor crimes carried out by asmall number of people, which makes living, working, travelling and socialising in the city centre unpleasant ratherthan life threatening. The city’s residents have recently voted for it being one of the five worst cities in the UK in whichto live. There is little or no contact between the police and these residents.The city is split into a number of police districts, each with its own senior officer in charge. Their focus is on theresponse to emergency calls and solving serious crimes in their district rather than the less urgent crimes affectingeveryday living in the city. Response times and serious crime solution rates are the traditional measures by which theirperformance is measured and leave them open to criticism of simply reacting to events. There is little sense of beingpart of a city police force and, consequently, little sharing of information and experience between the different districts.The failure in policing antisocial behaviour in the city is seen as being largely the result of a shortage of resources.There are also important internal and external groups varying in their support or resistance to any necessary changein policing strategy. Key players include the mayor of the city anxious to improve the reputation of the city, the city’spress, traditionally used to highlighting police failures rather than successes and finally the courts of justice, whichare reluctant to take on the increased workload that any moves towards reducing antisocial behaviour would produce.John is aware of the complexity of the problem he faces in changing the way the city is policed to improve the qualityof life of its citizens. He has, however, an impressive track record as a change agent in previous appointments and isconfident that he can bring about the necessary change.Required:(a) Using change management models where appropriate, provide John with a brief report on the nature ofchange needed in the way the city is policed in order to improve the city’s quality of life.

考题共用题干 Google's Solar Energy Gambit（策略）Google is making its largest investment yet in clean energy,setting up a $280 million fund to finance home solar rooftop（屋顶）installations.The search giant announced today it was teaming up with the Silicon Valley's Solar City一a company chaired by Paypal co-founder and Tesla Motors executive Elon Musk一in an effort to break down the biggest barrier to solar energy adoption:the cost."It's a great way to support installations going into more homes,"said Google spokesperson Parag Chokshi.The $280 million fund is the largest fund ever created for residential solar in the United States,according to Solar City,which has raised a total of$I.28 billion in financing capacity during its five-year history.Google over the past several years has invested in large,utility-scale wind and solar,enhanced geothermal（地热）energy,and other renewable energy projects,for a grand total of more than $680 million in the sector. But today's deal is not only Google's largest foray（突袭）into the sector, it is its first investment in distributed energy. Based in San Mateo,California,less than 20 miles north of Google's Mountain View headquarters,Solar City describes itseff as a solar power service provider. The idea is that people want affordable,clean energy一but they often can't afford to buy a photovoltaic system upfront. Solar City is one of a number of companies that have attempted to help people overcome that cost hurdle（障碍）by leasing,instead of owning their rooftop solar systems.Solar City's leases and power-purchase agreements to homeowners,businesses,and schools promise a lower monthly electricity bill(including a set payment to Solar City in addition to utility payments)than customers would get with their usual electricity from the grid.Solar City not only finances these photovoltaic projects,but also designs,installs,monitors,and maintains the systems.

But the problem is only about a half dozen banks are doing solar financing,he said.So in order for Solar City's model to achieve"true scale,"it must"unleash the available capital of corporate America,"he said.Rive is hopeful that Google's move today will set an example for other corporations to make similar investments.

考题共用题干第二篇Dancing in the StreetsIf there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet,it is the Rio Carnival（狂欢节）.Held in Rio de Janeiro,the country's biggest city,the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo一the Lord of Misrule（无序之皇）.On his orders,each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music.The following six days are so full of parades,street dancing,fantastic clothes and partying（聚会）that many people forget about eating and sleeping."It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio,"said Bob Nadkarni,a British man who has lived in the city for several years.For many Brazilians , the centrepiece of the carnival is samba（桑巴舞）,a typical Brazilian dance.Every year,tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets,following the beat（节拍）of the Latin music.The climax to this street party is the float（彩车）parade , in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city.On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen,who is chosen at the end of the party.While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations,Rio's police officers have to keep a clear head.Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week,the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio.The street fighting,robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves,in honour of the city's founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf.Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so,despite the troubles,the carnival will remain a symbol of the country's culture.The word"centerpiece"in the 3rd paragraph meansA:the most important part.B:the middle part.C:the central part of the city.D:the most attractive decoration.
