15、 any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have to determine “whats next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sit

21、re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most peoples lives had a certain 31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course o

22、f your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything thats 32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to

23、solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrs Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows pe

24、ople to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening.

In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. T

28、hey have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages ther

29、e are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign

30、cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people

31、do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that.

32、But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents theyre doing all they can to ease congestion.”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the

If you go for two weeks, youre not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not

35、how to get them to come for the first time. If they re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand

36、to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far theyve come. “Youre thinking, yeah but at what cost .”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spe

51、 well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rec

52、tor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)most of which will not be commercial until the 2030sare critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapi

53、dly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasnt changed. Its about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltd

54、own in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressuri

55、zed Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the worlds first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is

56、 one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear powers ability to restore confidence.However, the countrys agreement with EDF to build two uni

57、ts at Hinkley Pointwhich together will generate 3.2GW of electricityhas come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the countrys future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to

58、 generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to 56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develo

59、p these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)? A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B. Small in scale, AMR

60、s rose more safety risks.C. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.D. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64. In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show tha

61、t the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence

62、 in the development of nuclear plants.B. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D. A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66. Wh

63、ich of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear sshare of power generation remain steadyD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.
