听力原文： To find out how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land, of expanding trade beyond their borders and of spreading their faith across the world. In 1535, Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator named Jacques Cartier to explore the New World and search for a passage to India.
Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands, if it was, be would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term "Canada" entered the country's history. Apparently the word "Canada" came from an Indian word Kanata, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge village Canada is!

This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me. It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far. I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself. But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a “real” person. I hoped that my great dreams were practical.
Then, last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views. I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life. Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life. They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.
Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews. A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100. I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.
I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life. We will not just look backwards or miss our college days. We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.
1.Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?
A.College is the best time of one’s life.
B.Twenties were the best time of the old people.
C.One should make the best of all situations.
D.One should not look backwards at their college time.
2.In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say________.
A.her achievements in college would be the peak of her success
B.she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college
C.she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation
D.she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future
3.The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s ________.
A.best time of life at youth
B.life experiences and views
C.different opinions about life
D.favorite time with best friends
4.By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill，or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4), the writer really means_____.
A.she will not spend the rest of her time at college
B.she will not just obtain a college level certificate
C.she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished
D.she will not be content with the life in the future
5.Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
A.Ambitious
B.Practical
C.Imaginative
D.Proud

The Impossibility of Rapid Energy Transitions
[ A ] Politicians are fond of promising rapid energy transitions．Whether it is a transition from imported to domestic oil or from coal-powered electricity production to natural-gas power plants， politicians love to talk big．Unfortunately for them （and often the taxpayers）， our energy systems are a bit like an aircraft carrier: they are unbelievably expensive， they are built to last for a very long time， they have a huge amount of inertia （meaning it takes a lot of energy to set them moving ）， and they have a lot of momentum once they are set in motion．No matter how hard you try， you can"t turn something that large on a dime （10美分硬币 ）， or even a few thousand dimes．
[ B ] In physics， moving objects have two characteristics relevant to understanding the dynamics of energy systems: inertia and momentum．Inertia is the resistance of objects to efforts to change their state of motion．If you try to push a boulder （大圆石 ）， it pushes you back．Once you have started the boulder rolling， it develops momentum， which is defined by its mass and velocity．Momentum is said to be "conserved，" that is， once you build it up， it has to go somewhere．So a heavy object， like a football player moving at a high speed， has a lot of momentum-that is， once he is moving， it is hard to change his state of motion．If you want to change his course， you have only a few choices: you can stop him， transferring （possibly painfully） some of his kinetic energy （动能） to your own body， or you can approach alongside and slowly apply pressure to gradually alter his course．
[ C ] But there are other kinds of momentum as well．After all， we don"t speak only of objects or people as having momentum; we speak of entire systems having momentum．Whether it"s a sports team or a presidential campaign， everybody relishes having the big momentum， because it makes them harder to stop or change direction．
[ D ] One kind of momentum is technological momentum．When a technology is deployed， its impacts reach far beyond itself．Consider the incandescent （白炽灯的） bulb， an object currently hated by many environmentalists and energy-efficiency advocates．The incandescent light bulb， invented by Thomas Edison， which came to be the symbol of inspiration， has been developed into hundreds， if not thousands， of forms．Today， a visit to a lighting store reveals a stunning array of choices．There are standard-shaped bulbs， flame-shaped bulbs， colored globe-shaped bulbs， and more．It is quite easy， with all that choice， to change a light bulb．
[ E ] But the momentum of incandescent lighting does not stop there．All of those specialized bulbs ledto the building of specialized light fixtures， from the desk lamp you study by， to the ugly but beloved hand-painted Chinese lamp you inherited from your grandmother， to the ceiling fixture in your closet， to the light in your oven or refrigerator， and to the light that the dentist points at you．It is easy to change a light bulb， sure， but it is harder to change the bulb and its fixture．
[ F ] And there is more to the story， because not only are the devices that house incandescent bulbs shaped to their underlying characteristics， but rooms and entire buildings have been designed in accordance with how incandescent lighting reflects off walls and windows．
[ G ] As lighting expert Howard Brandston points out， “ Generally， there are no bad light sources， only bad applications．" There are some very commendable characteristics of the CFL [ compact fluorescent （荧光的） light bulb ]， yet the selection of any light source remains inseparable from the luminaire （照明装置 ） that houses it， along with the space in which both are installed， and lighting requirements that need to be satisfied．The lamp， the fixture， and the room， all three must work in concert for the true benefits of end-users．If the CFL should be used for lighting a particular space， or an object within that space， the fixture must be designed to work with that lamp， and that fixture with the room．It is a symbiotic （共生的 ） relationship．A CFL cannot be simply installed in an incandescent fixture and then expected to produce a visual appearance that is more than washed out， foggy， and dim．The whole fixture must be replaced-light source and luminaire-and this is never an inexpensive proposition．
[ H ] And Brandston knows a thing or two about lighting， being the man who illuminated the Statue of Liberty．
[ I ]Another type of momentum we have to think about when planning for changes in our energy systems is labor-pool momentum．It is one thing to say that we are going to shift 30 percent of our electricity supply from， say， coal to nuclear power in 20 years．But it is another thing to have a supply of trained talent that could let you carry out this promise．That is because the engineers，designers， regulators， operators， and all of the other skilled people needed for the new energy industry are specialists who have to be trained first （or retrained， if they are the ones being laid off in some related industry）， and education， like any other complicated endeavor， takes time．And not only do our prospective new energy workers have to be trained， they have to be trained in the right sequence．One needs the designers， and perhaps the regulators， before the builders and operators， and each group of workers in training has to know there is work waiting beyond graduation．In some cases， colleges and universities might have to change their training programs，
adding another layer of difficulty．
[ J ] By far the biggest type of momentum that comes into play when it comes to changing our energy systems is economic momentum．The major components of our energy systems， such as fuel production， refining， electrical generation and distribution， are costly installations that have lengthy life spans．They have to operate for long periods of time before the costs of development have been recovered．When investors put up money to build， say， a nuclear power plant， they expect to earn that money back over the planned life of the plant， which is typically between 40and 60 years．Some coal power plants in the United States have operated for more than 70 years!
The oldest continuously operated commercial hydro-electric plant in the United States is on New York"s Hudson River， and it went into commercial service in 1898．
[ K ] As Vaclav Smil points out， "All the forecasts， plans， and anticipations cited above have failed so miserably because their authors and promoters thought the transitions they hoped to implement would proceed unlike all previous energy transitions， and that their progress could be accelerated in an unprecedented manner．"
[ L ] When you hear people speaking of making a rapid transition toward any type of energy， whether it is a switch from coal to nuclear power， or a switch from gasoline-powered cars to electric cars， or even a switch．from an incandescent to a fluorescent light， understanding energy system inertia and momentum can help you decide whether their plans are feasible．
Not only moving objects and people but all systems have momentum．
