According

The Impossibility of
Rapid Energy Transitions
[
A
]
Politicians
are
fond
of
promising
rapid
energy
transitions.
Whether
it
is
a
transition
from
importedto domestic oil or from coal-
powered electricity production to natural-gas
power plants,
politicianslove to talk
big. Unfortunately for them (and often the
taxpayers), our energy systems
are a
bitlike 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
), andthey have a lot of momentum once they are
set in motion. No matter how hard you
try, you can'tturn 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
ofenergy
systems:
inertia
and
momentum.
Inertia
is
the
resistance
of
objects
to
efforts
to
changetheir state of motion. If you try
to push a boulder (
大圆石
), it pushes you back. Once you
havestarted
the
boulder
rolling,
it
develops
momentum,
which
is
defined
by
its
mass
and
um is said to be
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.
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
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,
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
an incandescent to a fluorescent light,
understanding energy
system inertia and
momentum can help you decide whether their plans
are feasible.
46. Not only moving
objects and people but all systems have momentum.
47.
Changing
the
current
energy
system
requires
the
systematic
training
of
professionals
and
skilled labor.
48. Changing
a light bulb is easier than changing the fixture
housing it.
49. Efforts to accelerate
the current energy transitions didn't succeed as
expected.
50. To change the light
source is costly because you have to change the
whole fixture.
51. Energy systems, like
an aircraft carrier set in motion, have huge
momentum.
52.
The
problem
with
lighting,
if
it
arises,
often
doesn't
lie
in
light
sources
but
in
their
applications.
53. The
biggest obstacle to energy transition is that the
present energy system is too expensive to
replace.
54. The application
of a technology can impact areas beyond itself.
55. Physical characteristics of moving
objects help explain the dynamics of energy
systems.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in
this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or
unfinished statements. For
each of them there are four choices marked A), B),
C),and D ). You
should
decide
on
the
best
choice
and

corresponding
letter
on

Sheet

with
a
single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to
60 are based on the following passage.
One
hundred
years
ago,
was
the
typical
way
of
referring
to
Americans
of
African
descent. Twenty
years later, it was purposefully dropped to make
way for

by
Jesse Jackson declared that
because it echoed the labels of groups,
such as
already been
freed
of widespread discrimination.
A
century's
worth
of
calculated
name
changes
point
to
the
fact
that
naming
any
group
is
a
politically
freighted
exercise.
A
2001
study
cataloged
all
the
ways
in
which
the
term
carried connotations
(
涵义
) that were more negative
than those of
But
if
it

A
recent study, conducted by Emory University's
Erika Hall, found that

of
a
perceived

socioeconomic
status.
As
a
result,
people
are
thought
of
as
less

as
having
colder
personalities.
The
study's
most
striking
findings
shed

Passage
Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the
following passage.
Across the board,
American colleges and universities are not doing a
very good job of preparing
their
students for the workplace or their post-
graduation lives. This was made clear by the work
of
two
sociologists,
Richard
Arum
and
Josipa
2011
they
released
a
landmark
study
ti
tled
Adrift,
which
documented
the
lack
of
intellectual
growth
experienced
by
many people enrolled in college. In
particular, Arum and Roksa found, college students
were not
developing the critical
thinking, analytic reasoning and other higher-
level skills that are necessary
to
thrive
in
today's
knowledge-based
economy
and
to
lead
our
nation
in
a
time
of
complex
challenges and
dynamic change.
Arum
and
Roksa
placed
the
blame
for
students'
lack
of
learning
on
a
watered-down
college
curriculum and lowered undergraduate
work standards. Although going to college is
supposed to
be a Full-time job,
students spent, on average, only 12 to 14 hours a
week studying and many were
skating
through
their
semesters
without
doing
a
significant
amount
of
reading
and
writing.
Students who take
more challenging classes and spend more time
studying do learn more. But the
priorities of many undergraduates are
with extracurricular activities, playing sports,
and partying
and socializing.
Laura
Hamilton,
the
author
of
a
study
on
parents
who
pay
for
college,
will
argue
in
a
forthcoming
book
that
college
administrations
are
overly
concerned
with
the
social
and
athletic
activities
of
their
students.
In Paying
for
the
Party,
Hamilton
describes
what
she
calls
the
“arty
pathway,
which
eases
many
students
through
college,
helped-along
by
various
clubs
that
send
students into the party scene and a
host of easier sanctioning this watered-down
version
of college, universities
are
expense of others
once
they graduate.
These
students need to build skills and knowledge during
college if they are to use their degrees as
a
stepping-stone
to
middle-class
mobility.
But
more
privileged
students
must
not
waste
this
opportunity either. As recent graduates
can testify, the job market isn't kind to
candidates who can't
demonstrate
genuine competence, along with a well-cultivated
willingness to work hard. Nor is
the
global economy forgiving of an American workforce
with increasingly weak literacy, math and
science
abilities.
College
graduates
will
still
fare
better
than
those
with
only
a
high
school
education, of course. But a university
degree unaccompanied by a gain in knowledge or
skills is an
empty
achievement
indeed.
For
students
who
have
been
coasting
through
college,
and
for
American universities that have been
demanding less work, offering more attractions and
charging
higher tuition, the party may
soon be over.
61. What is Arum and
Roksa's finding about higher education in America?
aims at stimulating the intellectual
curiosity of college students.
fails
to prepare students to face the challenges of
modern times.
has experienced dramatic
changes in recent years.
has tried
hard to satisfy students' various needs.
62. What is responsible for the
students' lack of higher-level skills?
diluted college curriculum.
boring
classroom activities.
absence of
rigorous discipline.
outdated
educational approach.
63. What does
Laura Hamilton say about college administrations?
fail to give adequate help to the
needy students.
tend to offer too many
less challenging courses.
seem to be
out of touch with society.
prioritize
non-academic activities.
64. What can
be learned about the socially and financially
privileged students?
tend to have a
sense of superiority over their peers.
can afford to choose easier majors in order to
enjoy themselves.
spend a lot of time
building strong connections with businesses.
can climb the social ladder even
without a degree.
65. What does the
author suggest in the last paragraph?
an higher education has lost its global
competitiveness.
should not expect too
much from American higher education.
C.
The current situation in American higher education
may not last long.
will take a long
time to change the current trend in higher

Conversation One
W: Charles,
as a singer, do you ever make yourself cry when
you sing?
M: No, not at this age. I'm
an old man. (9) But the songs can still get
through to me.
W: What song writers are
currently exciting you?
M: I don't know
much about song writers. Once in a while, I'll
listen to the radio to see what they
are putting out, but it's not too often
I hear something I like. Somebody like Art Tatum
can make
me sit up and take notice, but
some music, like rap, isn't very musical and I
can't learn anything
from it. You got
to do something more than talk to me.
W: What's the most difficult kind of
music to sing?
M: It depends. ( 10-1 )
If I like something, I can sing it. I did the
opera Porgiam best and that's
said to
be a complicated piece of music. And I can do
country music, blues and love songs. (10-2)
On the other hand, I can't sing
something I don't like and that's one of my
defects.
W: Can you perform music
that's out of tune with the mood you might be in
on a given night?
M: Yes, because when
you sing, you are like an actor performing a part.
Once you get out there,
you become that
part
,
only you’re using music
instead of dialogue
.
(11)I am
the kind of a person
that ff my
personal life is hurting,I can go to work and the
music will take over

Passage
One
You
probably
know
what
a
mobile
is,
but
the
mobile
I'm
talking
about
is
a
delicate
object
of
decoration
hanging
from
the
ceding
and
moving
gently
with
every
breath.
(16)
It
delights
both
children
and
adults.
Now,do
you
know
who
invented
the
mobile?
This
lovely
creation
was
the
work of
an American artist named Alexander Calder. Calder
became interested in making things
when
he was a child. And even then he often
used wire in his constructions. When he
went to college, he studied engineering rather
than art.
(18) But he quickly realized
that art was his real passion. (17) He also loved
the circus, and many
of his early
artworks were small circus figures made with wire.
In about 1930, Calder turned from
realistic wire figures to abstract
ones. He began constructing objects that have
circles, squares and
other geometric
shapes. To get the shapes to move, he used small
motors. Then he went one step
beyond
these
early
mobiles.
He
got
the
shapes
in
his
constructions
to
move
by
themselves.
A
mobile may look simple as it shifts in
the wind, but it requires careful
construction to work properly. Calder
used his engineering knowledge to create his first
mobiles.
Often these consisted of small
pieces of brightly printed metal strung by
wire to a thicker base
wire.
Calder learn how to find the precise point to
connect each wire so that all the pieces will
sway in harmony. In doing so, he
created
an art form for people all over
the world to copy and enjoy.
预览三道题的选项,
很难从其中找出范畴接近的词汇进而推测文章大意。第
l6
题主语一致,
都是
It
,并且
children
出现了两
次,因此推测
It
应该与孩子有关;第
l7
题主语为复数
They
,
表明短文中会提到复数的东西,
并且是人物形象
figures
,
细心的考生这时可能会发现该题中
的
made
和上题中的
i
nvented
范畴接近,都含有
“
发
明,制作
”
的意思,故猜测短文可能是关
于制作孩子喜欢的人物形象。
16. What does
the speaker say about a mobile?
四个选项的主语均是
It
,其中
children
出现了两次,综合未听先知的信息点,以及选项中出
现的
carried
,
fo
und
,
invented
,可推测本
题可能考查某种与孩子有关的事物的性质特点。短
文中指出成年人和孩子都喜欢风铃,故
答案为
A)
。
17. What do we learn about many of
Alexander Calder's early artworks?
四个选项均是以
They
开头的过去时句子,
因此询问的是过去发生的事情。
B)
、
C)
选项极为
接近,都是形容词作表
语,修饰
figures
,因此推断这里的
They
指的就是
figures(
人物
)
,该
题考查这些人物形象的相
关内容。短文中指出
Calder
的早期作品都是用线制成的马
戏团的
小人物形象,后来才转向抽象的形象,故答案为
C)
p>
。
18. Where does
Alexander Calder’s real passion lie?
四个选项均是
“In+
名词
”
构成的介词短语,
art
,
geometry
和
engineerin9
属于学科领域,因此<
/p>
推测该题可能考查
Calder
在设计风
铃时应用的学科或者
Calder
本人的学科或兴趣。题目考<
/p>
查的是
Calder
本人的真正热情所在
,短文中提到他的真正爱好是艺术,故答案为
A)
。
