A new survey conducted by the National Geographic Society (NGS) shows that although consumers in many countries are adopting environmentally-friendly behavior, others live in w
11、asteful cultures of consumption. The 2014 online survey of 18,000 people in 18 countries gauged environmental attitudes and habits and their sustainability when it came to housing, transportation, food and consumer goods. 1. Some consumer behavior is improving. In half the countries surveyed, people
12、 acted in more environmentally-friendly ways than they had in 2012. For example, Russians are using more public transportation and British consumers are buying more green electricity. But some countries reported that peoples habits were less sustainable than in the previous survey. Around 68 percent
13、 of Germans drink bottled water daily, and Canadians are among the most likely to own at least two cars or trucks. 2. Anxiety about the environment is growing. A slim majority of consumers 51 percent agree that global warming will negatively affect their own lives. Latin Americans are the most conce
14、rned, with more than three in four Brazilians convinced that climate change will impact them personally. 3. Americans resist going green. Nearly one in four American households owns four or more TVs. Americans are also among the most likely to avoid paying extra for environmentally-friendly products

And since the 2012 survey, more Americans are saying that they view owning a big house as an important goal in their lives. 4. The least green feel the least guilt. As in past surveys, the worst offenders expres

21、er into a smartphone, and all will become clear. Smart Vision Labs, a start-up in New York City, wants to make it easier to diagnose vision problems in developing countries with an iPhone camera add-on. The World Health Organization estimates that 246 million people have poor vision. Of these, about
22、 90 percent live in low-income areas without good access to healthcare or expensive diagnostic machines. To solve this problem Smart Vision Labs has combined two tools often used for eye tests into a single inexpensive and portable device. The first tool, an auto-refractor (自动曲光仪 ), calculates wheth
23、er someone is short-sighted or long-sighted, and to what extent, by measuring the size and shape of their eye. The second, an aberrometer (像差仪 ), looks for distortions (扭曲 ) in how light reflects off the eye, which could indicate rarer problems such as double vision. This equipment usually costs tho
24、usands of dollars, but Smart Vision Labs says it has made a device with the same functions that clips onto an iphone. It can estimate vision problems by taking a handful of pictures of a persons eye and using software to analyze them. The company plans to sell it as part of a low-cost kit for people
25、 in developing countries. 高三英语 第 5 页 (共 12 页 ) 高三英语 第 6 页 (共 12 页 ) 密封线学校班级姓名学号密封线内不得答题Earlier this year, Smart Vision Labs sent prototypes (原型 ) to Haiti and Guatemala through non-profit organization, Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity. Optometrists tested the device on a few dozen patients
26、in each country, asking them to look into it and focus on a small red dot for several seconds. People who used the device in the field were impressed with it.

27、e benefit of this tool in countries that do not have eye care readily available. 24. People in developing countries have vision problems mainly because of _.

30、ipment to poor areas D. tell people about a convenient vision-testing device on an iphone C A few weeks ago, I had a chat with my son Chases teacher. We talked about teaching children and what a sacred trust and responsibility it is. She and I agreed that subjects like maths and reading are not the
31、most important things that are learned in a classroom. We talked about shaping little hearts to become contributors to a large community and our mutual dream that those communities might be made up of individuals who are kind and brave above all. And then she told me this. A few times a year, she as
32、ks her students to write on a piece of paper the names of four children with whom theyd like to be teamed up the following semester. Every Friday, she also asks the students to nominate one student who they believe has been an exceptional classroom citizen that week. All ballots (不记名票 ) are privatel
33、y submitted to her. And after each ballot, when the students go home, she takes out those slips of paper, places them in front of her and studies them. Who is not getting requested by anyone else? Who never gets noticed enough to be nominated? Who had a million friends last week and none this week?
34、You see, Chases teacher is not really looking for exceptional classroom citizens he is looking for lonely children children who are struggling to connect with their classmates. How long have you been using this system? I asked. Ever since Columbine, she said. This teacher watched what happened at Co
35、lumbine two students took guns and bombs into their high school and killed 12 students and one teacher knowing that all brutality （残暴） begins with disconnection. All outward violence begins as inner loneliness. She noticed that children who arent being noticed may eventually resort to being noticed
36、by any means necessary. And what this brilliant teacher has learned from this system is that everything even love and belonging has a pattern. She finds the patterns, and through those lists she breaks the codes of disconnection. Then she gets lonely students the help they need. 28. According to the

A. maths is not important B. her son should pay more attention to reading C. every child should be taught to be kind and brave D. the teacher should give sacred trust to children 29.

A New Method of Teaching D. Love and Responsibility D A new study has found a link between aggressive breast cance
40、r and stress. But the lead researcher suggests that the findings raise as many questions as they answer. The study covered about 1000 breast cancer patients in Chicago white, black and Latino. Soon after diagnosis, the women were interviewed to assess their level of stress. The researchers, led by G
41、arth H. Rauscher of the University of Illinois at Chicago, compared the 高三英语 第 7 页 (共 12 页 ) 高三英语 第 8 页 (共 12 页 ) 密封线内不得答题stress scores with the race of the patients and the aggressiveness of their cancers. Rauscher found that patients reporting greater stress were more likely to have more aggressiv
42、e tumours（肿瘤） . Previous research found that American black and Latino women have, at the time they are diagnosed, more aggressive cancers than white women. But researchers cant decide whether this is because minority women are somehow more susceptible to aggressive tumours, or because, for socio-ec
43、onomic reasons, their cancers are probably not diagnosed until the disease has advanced to a more aggressive stage. So, is having the aggressive disease causing the stress, or is stress causing the aggressive disease? Maybe some third factor is involved. Rauscher admits that he is still a long way f
44、rom the answer, and says that more research is needed to better understand the relationship between stress and breast cancer. For a lot of reasons, it is probably good to minimize stress in our lives. But he cautions that his research does not mean that people who have had a stressful experience are
45、 necessarily at greater risk of aggressive breast cancer. 32. Which of the following shows the process of Rauschers research? A. diagnosis interview analysis conclusion B. interview diagnosis analysis conclusion C. interview analysis diagnosis conclusion D. diagnosis analysis interview conclusion 33
