11. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.8-Exercise 02 C) As demand for food rises faster than supplies are growing, the resulting food-price inflation puts severe stress on the governments of many countries. Unable to buy grain or grow their own, hungry people take to the streets. Indeed, even before the steep climb in grain prices in 2008, the number of failing states was expanding. If the food situation continues to worsen, entire nations will break down at an ever increasing rate. In the 20th century the main threat to international security was superpower conflict; today it is failing states.

A. Increasing water shortages prove to be the biggest obstacle to boosting the world’s grain production.

B. Rather than superpower conflict, countries unable to cope with food shortages now constitute the main threat to world security.

12. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.8-Exercise 01 J) As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)

A. The author has come to agree that food shortages could ultimately lead to the collapse of world civilization.

B. The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.

13. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.10-Exercise 02 C) I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.

A. What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.

B. Men are less likely to give reasons for their tears.

14. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.10-Exercise 01 B) Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an outmoded stereotype? Can doing one’s homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.

A. It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.

B. Sometimes people cannot cry despite genuine grief.

15. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.11-Exercise 01 C) A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when people think about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child, or what makes childhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.

A. Adults do not consider children’s feelings when it comes to education.

B. People who take benefits from Social Security before official retirement age will get much less for the rest of their lives.

16. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.11-Exercise 02 B) By the end of the 19th century, as the frontier vanished, the US had a mild panic attack. What would this energetic, enterprising country be without new lands to conquer? Some people, such as Teddy Roosevelt, decided to keep on conquering (Cuba, the Philippines, etc.), but eventually, in industrialization, the US found a new narrative of economic mobility at home. From the 1890s to the 1960s, people moved from farm to city, first in the North and then in the South. In fact, by the 1950s, there was enough prosperity and white-collar work that many began to move to the suburbs. As the population aged, there was also a shift from the cold Rust Belt to the comforts of the Sun Belt. We think of this as an old person's migration, but it created many jobs for the young in construction and health care, not to mention tourism, retail and restaurants.

A. When the frontier vanished about a century ago, America found new economic mobility in industrialization.

B. Seniors at nursing homes could benefit from the weak job market.

17. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.12-Exercise 01 F) Many members of the immobile class, on the other hand, live in the America of the gloomy headlines. If you have no specialized skills, there's little reason to uproot to another state and be the last in line for a low-paying job at a new auto plant or a green-energy startup. The surprise in the census data, however, is that the immobile workforce is not limited to unskilled workers. In fact, many have a college degree.

A. The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.

B. The census data is surprising in that college graduates are also among the immobile workforce.

18. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.13-Exercise 02 C) And yet we aren’t cooking. If you eat three meals a day and behave like most Americans, you probably get at least a third of your daily calories outside the home. Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week, and we get almost 25% of our daily calories from snacks. So we’re eating out or taking in, and we don’t sit down — or we do, but we hurry.

A. We get a fairly large portion of calories from fast food and snacks.

B. Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.

19. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.15-Exercise 02 This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meal are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Counihan, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together” and strengthening family ties. Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more vigorous than our ancestors. What does “cultural metabolism” refer to?

A. Pace of life.

B. Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.

C. Changes in lifestyle.

D. Domestic violence is lessened.

20. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.15-Exercise 01 That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it’s not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. “It helps us lower usage at peak power times,” says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.” What does the “net metering” practice mean to the power company?

A. Less profits in the short term.

B. Try to better the current social security net.

C. Reduced operational costs.

D. Get prepared to face any new challenges.

21. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.16-Exercise 01 Having such a large supply of talented women teachers meant that society could pay less for their services. Women’s liberation opened up new professional opportunities for women, and, over time, some of the best left teaching as a career option, bringing about a gradual decline in the quality of schooling. Why did some of the best women teachers leave teaching?

A. The heavy teaching loads left them little time and energy for family life.

B. New career opportunities were made available to them by women’s liberation.

C. Women are too worn out to be ambitious.

D. Women are not ready to take management roles.

22. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.17-Exercise 02 Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of conventional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in the summer and retaining indoor warmth in winter. The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don’t just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility’s power grid. The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power they tap off the grid, less the kilowatts they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero. How are the residents in the ZEH communities billed for electricity use?

A. They are confident of their future.

B. They do not get decent pay.

C. They pay for the electricity from the grid less their home-generated power.

D. They only pay for the excess power that flows into the utility’s power grid.

A. Quality has not been the top concern of pre-K programs.

B. How the safety of bike riders can be ensured.

C. Whether local bike shops will suffer.

24. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.18-Exercise 01 Fierce debating can hurt feelings, particularly when strong personalities are involved. Make sure you check in with your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battles beyond the battlefield. Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforce the idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward a common goal. What advice does the author give to people engaged in a fierce debate?

A. They take care not to hurt each other’s feelings.

B. They listen carefully to their opponents’ views.

25. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.19-Exercise 01 Are people suffering from gadget overload? Are they exhausted by the consumer equivalent of the brain fatigue – information overload – that is caused by constant updates of devices and online media?

26. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.20-Exercise 01 The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers?

A. They do not have job security.

27. 【单选题】 Cet-4-1.20-Exercise 02 Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no-fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship.
