高考英语复习限时阅读训练43

  A

This is the age of being busy. Many of us live in busy places and have busy lives.Even the roads are busy as we try to get from here to there.Adults are busy going to jobs and taking care of their families.Kids are busy，too，going to school and doing lots of homework after school and on weekends.

Being busy isn't bad，necessarily.If you're not busy enough you might be bored.But if you're too busy，you might break down.For instance，if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you haven't eaten dinner or done your homework.That's a not­so­fun kind of busy.We wanted to know what kids thought，so we did a Kids Poll about being busy with 882 girls and boys aged 9 to 13.

 Almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy.About half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time.But 17%said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt like this all the time! Oh dear，that's no fun.

Only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18%said they already had just the right amount. But, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time.If they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends.

Often，adults plan large parts of a kid's day，especially during the school year.Kids can't tell their parents they'll be skipping school(逃学)today to get more free time! But they can tell their parents they'd like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching TV.

Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.

The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.

分析解读：

  65. 很多考生认为时今年和去年的购买对于环境的考虑发生了变化，从而选择了B项，实际这是由于没有仔细分析，仅从字面意思了解得出的错误结论。如果考生把这一段仔细解读一下，在理解的前提下，再找一下关键词汇，例如：aware of , effect 等，就会觉得affect这个选项好了。

67. 本题有不少考生选择了A项，因为他们觉得既然减排对企业有利，那么一些企业必然会有很大的愿望减排。实际本篇文章的第一句就表明了减排对企业是一个困难的时间，因此企业开始应该是没有意愿减排的，本文是来描述减排的好处，给企业以提醒的，因此选C。
