Planting trees to offset (抵消) carbon emissions could contribute to global warming if they are planted outside the tropics, scientists believe. They argue that most forests do not have any overall effect on global temperature but, by the end of the century, forests at the mid and high latitudes (纬度) could make their parts of the world more than 3℃ warmer than would have occurred if the trees did not exist.
Govindasamy Bala, an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in the US, has shown that only tropical (热带的) rainforests are beneficial in helping slow global warming. The problem is that while the carbon dioxide forests use for photosynthesis (光合作用) indirectly helps cool the earth by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, forests also trap heat from the sunlight they absorb.
Dr. Bala and his colleague, Ken Caldeira of the department of global ecology at the Carneige Institute in Standford, used a computer model to show that forests end up trapping more heat than they help to get rid of through a cut in carbon dioxide emissions. Planting tress above 50 degrees latitude can also cover up tundra(冻土带) normally blanketed in heat-reflecting snow.
They said that the results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists, are explained by the way in which the sun’s rays are absorbed or reflected by different parts of the world. The branches and leaves at the top of trees in forests, being relatively dark, absorb most of the sun’s heating rays that fall on them, warming the surface of the earth all around. In contrast, grassland or snowfields reflect a lot more of the sun’s rays back into space, keeping temperatures in open areas lower.
Dr. Bala said that trees at lower latitudes have a dual role. “It is a win-win situation in the tropics because tress in the tropics, in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, promote convective clouds (对照云) that help to cool the planet. However, in other locations, the warming from the albedo (反照率) effect would cancel the net cooling from the other effects.
The results follow increasing criticism from climate scientists of the benefits of forestry schemes to offset carbon emission. Kevin Anderson, a scientist with the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research, warned recently that offsetting was a dangerous delaying technique that helped people “sleep well at night when we shouldn’t sleep well at night”.
58. According to the passage, forests at high latitudes ___________.
A. help cool the earth directly by photosynthesis
B. reflect a lot more of the sun’s rays back into space
C. will affect the global temperature at the end of the century
D. trap more heat than they get rid of by cutting carbon dioxide emissions
59. The last but one paragraph explains why ____________.
A. only tropical rainforests are beneficial in helping slow global warming
B. grassland or snowfields keep temperatures in open areas lower
C. forests can warm the surface of the earth all around
D. forests can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
60. What can we know from Kevin Anderson’s warning?
A. Global warming is hard to control.
B. The offsetting can’t slow global warming.
C. People will continue to suffer from global warming.
D. The forestry schemes play a role in cooling the earth.
C
Trying to make a big decision while you’re also preparing for a scary presentation? You might want to delay doing that. Feeling stressed changes how people weight risk and reward. A new article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reviews how, under stress, people pay more attention to the upside (好的方面) of a possible outcome.
It’s a bit surprising that stress makes people focus on the way things could go right, says Mara Mather of the University of Southern California, who wrote the new review paper with her colleague. “This is sort of not what people would think,” Mather says, “Stress is usually associated with negative experiences, so you’d think that maybe I’m going to be more focused on the negative outcomes.” But researchers have found that when people are under stress---by being told to hold their hand in ice water for a few minutes, for example, or give a speech---they start paying more attention to positive information and discounting negative information. “Stress seems to impair their learning from negative feedback,” Mather says. This means when people under stress are making a difficult decision, they may pay more attention to the upsides of the alternatives they’re considering and less to the downsides. So someone who’s deciding whether to take a new job and is feeling stressed by the decision might weigh the increase in salary more heavily than the worse commute(通勤)。
The increased focus on the positive also helps explain why stress plays a role in addictions, and people under stress have a harder time controlling their urges. “The compulsion to get that reward comes stronger and they’re less able to resist it,” Mather says. So a person who’s under stress might think only about the good feelings they’ll get from a drug, while the downstairs shrink to the distance.
Stress also increases the differences in how men and women think about risk. When men are under stress, they become even more willing to take risks; when women are stressed, they get more conservative about risk. Mather links this to another research that finds, at difficult times, men incline toward(倾向于) fight-or-flight responses, while women try to bond more and improve their relationships.
“We make all sorts of decisions under stress,” Mather says. “If your kid has an accident and ends up in the hospital, that’s a very stressful situation and decisions need to be made quickly.” And, of course, big decisions can be sources of stress all by themselves and just make the situation worse. “It seems likely that how much stress you’re experiencing will affect the way you’re making the decision.”
61. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mather thinks that stress helps people make right decisions.
B. People tend to think that stress makes them think more negatively.
C. People are advised to put their hand in ice water when suffering from stress.
D. People are more likely to weigh risk and reward when making a difficult decision.
62. The underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. broaden B. confirm C. enable D. weaken
63. We can learn from the last three paragraphs that ____________.
A. men are better at coping with stress than women
B. people who are addicted to drugs are easily stressed
C. people may experience stress when making big decisions
D. women are more likely to be risk-takers when having stress
64. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Stress changes how people make decisions
B. Stress contributes to making right decisions
C. The relationship between stress and negative thoughts
D. The importance of considering the upside of problems

D
Lord Percy of Newcastle, Britain's minister of education in 1924-29, was no fan of the fad (狂热) for happy-clappy “progressive” education that spread among the country's schools on his watch. He declared that it was all nonsense: “a child ought to be brought up to expect unhappiness.” This columnist feels the same suspicion of the fashion for happy-clappy progressive management theory that is rushing through the world's companies and even some governments.
The leading miscreant is Zappos. The firm expects its staff to be in a state of barely controlled happiness when they sell shoes. Pret A Manger, a British food chain, specializes in bubbly good humour as well as sandwiches. Air stewards are trained to sound pleasant but those at Virgin Atlantic seem on the verge of breaking out into a song-and-dance routine. Google until recently had an in-house “jolly good fellow” to spread mindfulness and empathy.
Zappos is so happy with its work on joy that it has spun off a consultancy called Delivering Happiness. It has a chief happiness officer (CHO), a global happiness navigator, a happiness owl. Plasticity Labs, a technology firm which grew out of an earlier startup called the Smile Epidemic, says it is committed to supporting a billion people on their path to happiness in both their personal and professional lives.
One of the sharpest books published on the phenomenon is The Managed Heart from 1983, in which Arlie Hochschild, a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley, noted that as the service sector plays an ever greater role in the economy, many employers demanded “emotional labor” from their employees. Run-of-the-mill (普通的) service firms are fighting for their lives against discounters. As customers, most people prefer their service with a smile rather than a snarl (咆哮).
Management theorists note that a big threat to corporate performance is widespread disengagement among workers. Happy people are more engaged and productive, say psychologists. Gallup claimed in 2013 that the “unhappiness” of employees costs the American economy $500 billion a year in lost productivity. However, it is difficult to prove or disprove Gallup's numbers since it is not entirely clear about what is being measured. Companies would be much better off forgetting wishy-washy (空洞的) goals like encouraging contentment. They should concentrate on removing specific annoyances, such as time-wasting meetings and pointless memos. Instead, they are likely to develop ever more sophisticated ways of measuring the emotional state of their employees. Academics are already busy creating smartphone apps that help people keep track of their moods, such as Track Your Happiness and Moodscope. It may not be long before human-resource departments start measuring workplace euphoria (幸福感) via apps, cameras and voice recorders.
The idea of companies employing jolly good fellows and “happiness alchemists” may be cringe-making, but is there anything else really wrong with it? Various academic studies suggest that “emotional labour” can bring significant costs. The more employees are obliged to fix their faces with a big smile or express joy at a customer's choice of shoes, the more likely they are to suffer problems of burnout. And the contradiction between workers and their companies demanding more displays of contentment from them, even as these companies put them on miserably short-term contracts and turn them into self-employed “partners”, is becoming more obvious.
Many companies are already overstepping the mark. A large American health-care provider, Ochsner Health System, introduced a rule that workers must make eye contact and smile whenever they walk within ten feet of another person in the hospital. Pret A Manger sends in mystery shoppers to visit every outlet regularly to see if they are greeted with the requisite degree of joy. Pass the test and the entire staff gets a bonus — a powerful incentive (刺激)for workers to turn themselves into happiness police. Companies have a right to ask their employees to be polite when they deal with members of the public. They do not have a right to try to regulate their workers' psychological states and turn happiness into an instrument of corporate control.
65. What’s Lord Percy’s attitude towards happy-clappy “progressive” education ?
A. Unconcerned B. Appreciative C. Disapproving D. Tolerant
66.What can we know about Zappos?
A. It encourages the staff to work at ease.
B. It advocates the policy of smiling services.
C. It is a company aiming at helping unhappy people find a job.
D. It is in search of a happiness owl for its Delivering Happiness.
67. Paragraph 4 is intended to __________.
A. show the popularity of The Managed Heart.
B. analyze the disadvantages of “emotional labour”
C. stress the importance of the service sector in the economy.
D. Explain the necessity of “emotional labour” in the service sector.
68. What was the problem with Gallup’s survey?
A. It caused workers to be uninvolved in their work.
B. It only tracked happiness of employees in America.
C. It failed to provide clear measurements of happiness.
D. It cost too much money before drawing a conclusion.
69. According to the author, companies should ________.
A. set aside some time for specific annoyances
B. train the staff of low productivity to be happy
C. employ smartphone apps to track their staff’s moods
D. dismiss the idea of encouraging contentment from their minds
70. By the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, the author wants to show that_______.
A. many staff have suffered burnout because of working overtime.
B. workers’ individual liberty has been restricted seriously.
C. companies have provided too many incentives for their stuff.
D. too many employees are required to sign short-term contracts.
第II卷（两部分, 共35分）
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的词。
A miniseries is a unique but somewhat unpopular form of telling a story just in a limited number of episodes(集). It is not quite a movie and not quite a series, but falls somewhere in between. Usually, a miniseries is a planned, limited number of episodes in a particular storyline. Most often, a miniseries is limited to one full-length season. Occasionally, however, a miniseries includes shorter special television events, as in the case of Stephen King’s Rose Red, which consisted of only four episodes. The miniseries has frequently been used as a vehicle for fictional recreation of a historical event, although it has covered a full range of topics over the recent years.
In general, a miniseries isn’t as popular as normal TV series. From the point of view of production studios, a miniseries could be more expensive to produce in terms of the amount money they stand to make. This is because, once a normal series has gotten started, the sets have been built, and the personnel are in place, the show becomes fairly easy and cheap to produce. But a miniseries never reaches this point. Unlike regular series, a miniseries is designed to stop at a certain point, so the production studio can’t keep producing episodes to increase profit. In addition, a miniseries is designed to be watched from start to finish, and it’s often difficult to start watching in the middle. A normal series, on the other hand, is purposely written in such a way that anyone can start watching any episode and pick up the major plotlines without difficulty. As a result, a normal series can grow in popularity as more and more people start watching it. A miniseries doesn’t have this advantage.
However, one thing that makes miniseries better than normal shows is that the main storyline and subplots(次要情节) can be entirely worked out bu writers in advance. A miniseries is a well-developed story. In other words, it has narrative integrity(完整) compared to many normal series. When a normal series goes downhill(每况愈下) in its later seasons, the decrease in quality has a negative effect on the reputation of the series as a whole. However, a miniseries doesn’t suffer from this problem, meaning that it often maintains higher overall quality from start to finish.
Additionally, the miniseries format has its benefits in terms of production. Although it’s common for normal series to be released in DVD bundles, a miniseries can more easily be released as a single DVD package. Because it isn’t continuous, it’s more likely to be regarded by audiences as a long movie. Thus, a miniseries may have higher DVD sales potential after it has been aired.



Miniseries
A miniseries is a unique form of telling a story in a limited number of episodes although it is (71) _________ to some degree. Additionally, its topic is often a(n) (72) _______ event, though it has covered diverse topics nowadays.

(77) _______ of miniseries

Compared to normal series, it is (80) _______ to release as a total package.
