Passage 2Americans don’t like to lose wars.Of course,a lot depends on how you define just what a waris.There are shooting wars—the kind that test patriotism and courage--and those are the kind atwhich the U.S.excels.But other struggles test those qualities t00.What else was the GreatDepression or the space race or the construction of the railroadsIf American indulge in a bit offlag--when the job is done,they earned it.Now there is a similar challenge--global warmin9.The steady deterioration of the very climateof this very planet is becoming a war of the first order,and by any measure,the U.S.is losing.Indeed,if America is fighting at all,it’sfighting on the wrong side.The U.S.produces nearly aquarter of the world’s greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn’tintend to do a whole lot about it.Although l 74 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyotoaccords to reduce carbon levels,the U.S.walked away from them.There are vague promises ofmanufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen.But for a country that tightly citespatriotism as one of its core values,the U.S.is taking a pass on what might be the most patrioticstruggle of all. It′ s hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country′ s coasts andfarms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a globalemergency, there′s far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its plans, which too oftenwould fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that couldweaken America′ s growth. But let′ s assume that those interested parties and others will always bentthe table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed. Whatwould an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like--one that would leave the U.S. bothenvironmentally safe and economically soundHalting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressingthe problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 years. Andyet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes short-time profit with long-range objective andblends pragmatism with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt theworst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations.Money will do some of the work, but what′s needed most is will. "I′m not saying the challenge isn′talmost overwhelming," says Fred Krupp. "But this is America, and America has risen to thesechallenges before."What is the author′ s attitude towards America′ s policies on global warmingA.Critical.B.Indifferent.C.Supportive.D.Compromising.

Text 1 Giant corporations often claim to be"green,"pointing to programs they've undertaken aimed at being environmentally conscious.But sometimes these efforts don't really amount to much.They can be no more than'igrcenwashing,"a public relations effort that doesn't represent any fundamental shift in thinking.But such a change may actually be going on among several of the world's largest fossil fuel companies,namcs such as ExxonMobil,Shell,and BP.One of the biggest reasons:pressure from the companies'sharcholdcrs.Investors arc asking corporations to make more transparent the effects climate change will have on their businesses,as well as explain what they are doing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.While sharcholdcr motivcs are cerlainly aimed at helping in the worldwide fight against global warming,they also represent a practical need to better understand a company's prospects.If the burning of oil and gas is grcaily curtailed as a result of the December 2015 intemational Paris climate agreement,for example,how might that affect the bottom line of a corporation whose chief source of revenue is extracting and selling carbon-emitting oil and gas?Or,conversely,how is a company planning to take advantage of the business opportunities that emerge from a shift away from fossil fuels?Climate Action 100+,for example,is a shareholder action group that is asking corporations to make stronger commitments to meeting the 80 percent cut in carbon emissions proposed by the Paris agreement signed two years ago by nearly 200 nations.Some 225 investment groups who manage more than S26.3 trillion have signed on in support.Last week,intemational energy giant ExxonMobil said it will step up its reporting to shareholders and the public about the impacts climate change will have on its business,including any expected increased risks.The new policy follows a vote by ExxonMobil investors at the company's annual meeting in May that called for a yearly assessment of the effects of climate change on the company.The new position represents a sea change for ExxonMobil,which until the early 2000s had disputed the need to take action on climate change.Around the world national govemments are shaping new policies in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a level that will not allow global temperatures to rise more than 2 degrees Celsius.In the U,S.,individual states and cities are pursuing lawsuits against companies that fail to deal responsibly with greenhouse gas emissions,which they contend harm the public.24.What's ExxonMobil's attitude toward taking action on climate change?A.Biased.B.Objective.C.Indifferent.D.Supportive.

Text 1 It is a familiar ritual for many:after a late night out you reach for your smartphone to hail an Uber home.only to find-disaster-that the fare will be three times the normal rate.Like many things beloved by economists,"surge pricing"of the sort that occasionally afflicts Uber-users is both efficient and deeply unpopular.From a consumer's perspective,surge pricing is annoying at best and downright offensive when applied during emergencies.Extreme fare surges often lead to outpourings of public criticism:when a snowstorm paralysed New York in 2013,celebrities,including Salman Rushdie,took to social media to rail against triple-digit fares for relatively short rides.Some city governments have banned the practice altogether:Delhi's did so in April.Surge(or dynamic)pricing relies on frequent price adjustments to match supply and demand.Such systems are sometimes used to set motorway tolls(which rise and fall with demand in an effort to keep traffic flowing),or to adjust the price of energy in electricity markets.A lower-tech version is common after natural disasters,when shopkeepers raise the price of necessities like bottled water and batteries as supplies run low.People understandably detest such practices.It offends the sensibilities of non-economists that the same journey should cost different amounts from one day or hour to the next-and more,invariably,when the need is most desperate.Yet surge fares also demonstrate the elegance with which prices moderate a marketplace.When demand in an area spikes and the waiting time for a car rises,surge pricing kicks in;users requesting carsare informed that the fare will be a multiple of the normal rate.As the multiple rises,the market goes to work.Higher fares ration available cars by willingness to pay:to richer users,in some cases,but also to those less able to wait out the surge period or with fewer good altematives.Charging extra to those without good alternatives sounds like gouging,yet without surge pricing such riders would be less likely to get a ride at all.since there would be no incentive for all the other people requesting cars to drop out.Surge pricing also boosts supply,at least locally,The extra money is shared with drivers,who therefore have an incentive to l:ravel to areas with high demand to help relieve the crush.Whether Uber remains a big part of the transport network in future,and whether it retains surge pricing,depends in part on how well local govemments manage the transport system as a whole.In other words,surge pricing is really only as painful as local officials allow it to be.25.The author's attitude towards the future of Uber isA.supportive.B.critical.C.indifferent.D.subjective.

As computing power has grown,it has become easier to uncover information hidden inside datasets that seem totally unconnected.Some recent studies have used this approach to reveal business-related information flows.One linked the movements of 18th-century share prices with the arrival of ships bringing news.Another looked at the relationship between business activity and the movements of corporate jets.A third mined White House visitor logs for the names of executives and examined their companies'subsequent stock market returns David Finer,a graduate student at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business,analyzed trips connecting the headquarters of big banks and the Federal reserve Bank of New york(FrBny)He extracted trips starting at commercial banks and at the New york Fed that converged on the same destination around lunchtime,and those directly from banks to the New york Fed late in the evening.The number of such journeys rose sharply around the dates of meetings when interest rates were determined by the Federal Reserve's monetary-policy committee in Washington.(The New York Fed plays an outsized role in setting and administering American monetary policy.Its president is a permanent member of the Fed's rate-setting committee and sits over the trading desk that puts policy into effect.The jump in journeys was especially marked in 2012,when the committee decided to extend quantitative easing,the purchase of securities with newly-created money Mr.Finer builds on a provocativepaper by anna Cieslak of duke University,and adair morse and Annette Vissing-Jorgensen of the University of California at Berkeley.They asserted that information on monetary policy could be used to profit from stock market movements,and that such information had leaked from the Fed.Mr.Finer's"assumptions are flawed and misleading",the New York Fed respon ded.It is simply not credible to imply that an increase of a few taxi rides by unknown passengers between densely populated areas of the city-business,transportation and hospitality hubs-increased the risk of inappropriate communication."set sassing bisg pon g o moihogone The data do have obvious shortcomings.They do not show who was in the taxis,and departure and arrival points are accurate only to within 100 feet.Even if private bankers and New York Fed staff did meet and discuss policy,they may have broken no law.Many of the journeys were outside the blackout"periods during which communication between Fed officials and bankers is strictly forbidden But the tortuous way the Fed s policymakers release information,through an initial announcement,then weeks later the release of minutes and years later transcripts,means that a direct meeting with its officials can be extremely useful.The Fed has acknowledged that merely having a discussion can lead to accidental disclosure.And even lawful private discussions that transfer government information of value raise questions about fairness.What is the Feds attitude to the lawful meeting with the bankers?A.Tolerant.B.Indifferent.C.Negative.D.Supportive
