The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the shooting occurred Saturday after suspects left the store with stolen items. Sheriff’s Capt. A.L. Nieves says the men were loading the merchandise into a car when a worker and a customer who came to the employee’s aid confronted them. Nieves says the customer was armed and fired at a suspect, who he thought was going for a weapon. Nieves did not identify anyone involved. After the gunfire, the four suspects drove off and smashed into two cars. Three got away on foot. The one who was shot later died at a hospital after police found him at a gas station. The shooting is under investigation, and the remaining robbery suspects remain at large. 1. What is the news report mainly about? A、A store employee shot a suspected thief. B、A customer shot a suspected thief. C、A police officer shot a suspect. D、A suspect shot a customer.简答题Jasper is quite ___ with Central Television. He worked there for 25 years.

Emma Morano turned 117 on Tuesday and celebrated at her home in Italy with a big cake. She even blew out the candles herself. The cake was a bit of a deviation from her usual diet of two raw eggs a day, something Morano has enjoyed since a doctor diagnosed her with anemia during World War I, BBC reports. Morano’s doctor, Carlo Bava, says his patient is the model of consistency. “When I first knew her, she used to eat three eggs a day. Two raw and one fried. Today she has slowed down a bit, reducing the number to two some days because she says three can be too much,” Bava told Reuters TV. “She has never eaten much fruit or vegetables. Her characteristic is that she always eats the same thing, every day, every week, every month and every year.” 3. What can we learn about the old woman? A、She has lived for much longer than a century. B、She has survived many wars and disasters. C、She has never had any disease all her life. D、She has supported a big family.简答题__________ learners will find themselves left far behind by those active learners on campus.

The former sets out to reach an agreement on carbon emissions, whereas the latter aims to combat poverty and inequality while protecting the environment. Both address critical sets of challenges with profound implications for the way the world operates. And both require serious considerations about energy. B) It’s clear that dealing with climate change calls for deep (and, likely, total) decarbonization of our energy system, which entails a fundamental transformation of our infrastructure. It also demands immediate and rapid action, as our window for avoiding the disastrous consequences of carbon emissions is ever shrinking. Yet at the same time, global energy demand continues to rise, particularly in emerging and developing countries, raising concerns about energy security even in the developed world, where one rarely considers that the lights may not come on when the switch is flipped. How do we meet demand and still achieve the required rapid changes when making decisions about energy supply can take years, and the development and construction of energy sources can take even longer? C) Science and technology undoubtedly play a vital role. Research efforts continue to furnish us with fresh insights into fundamental phenomena that help us develop better devices and processes for generating or storing energy. For example, new studies of photovoltaics are enabling more efficient cells to be constructed, and presenting cheaper, more flexible approaches to building them; new findings into interfacial or catalytic phenomena generate advances in storage technologies that could bolster deployment of intermittent renewables and reshape the grid; a deeper understanding of materials and chemistry can offer more efficient routes to the generation of fuels. Technology innovation brings a wealth of new applications, overcoming issues of supply or energy efficiency, allowing us to address many of the challenges we face today and hopefully many of those we aren’t yet aware of. D) Yet to believe that technology alone will save us is to forget that technologies must be used by people. It is not enough to just build and implement new technologies: the way we use, interact with, and think about them is critical as well. Given several options of equal scientific merit, the choice of which to pursue depends on social, cultural, economic and political factors. Thus, we shouldn’t forget that science and technology form part of a bigger and more complicated system, full of important feedbacks and loops. If we can better understand the way that individuals and societies engage with energy on different levels, we can design better tools or deploy them in more appropriate ways, reaping greater rewards. E) Consider photovoltaics. Understanding how to improve the efficiency of a solar cell is just one step in the process of increasing the use of solar power: we must also know how to build modules that are long-lasting and durable; that are cheap to produce at scale and easy to install; or that can fulfil functions that other designs can’t. To make solar power competitive in the marketplace, we have to think about subsidies and what level of economic support might be required over what period. There are also issues around where to install solar panels: where are good locations, why do people object to building solar farms near to them, what motivates some people to install solar power and others to refuse to adopt it? Solar power (as well as other renewable sources like wind) also enables individuals, communities, towns and cities to power themselves independently of centralized providers and to become producers of energy as well as consumers, selling excess electricity back to the grid. This gives rise to a number of further challenges for grid operation, business models, regulation and governance. And this is all to say nothing of the additional opportunities that open up when photovoltaics are linked to other technologies, like storage or smart grids. By thinking more carefully at a systems level, combining natural and social science considerations, we can move towards a more integrated, flexible energy system that better fulfills our goals. F) No one discipline can truly claim to have all the answers to our energy challenges. What is needed is a multiplicity of voices — a combined effort from many disciplines all trying to understand how we can facilitate the energy transition but also all interacting with one another, sharing the benefits of their wisdom for the mutual good. Of course, this multitude speaks many different languages. Multi- and interdisciplinary studies — of which there are an ever-growing number — help here by playing an increasingly important role in removing the traditional boundaries between groups and broadening the conversation. G) By orienting itself around a subject, not a discipline, Nature Energy hopes to be a home for the many different voices needed, publishing the best research and opinion on energy issues across the natural and social sciences. It also presents perspectives and opinions on different aspects of the energy system, from carbon capture and storage projects to grid balancing and storage for renewables. It wants to publish the research that matters the most to each field but that will also be of interest and influential for people working elsewhere in energy. H) Energy is an enormous but exciting field. The transition to the cleaner, greener, fairer energy system of the future is underway. Nature Energy looks forward to helping speed it along. _______ 1. Nature Energy hopes to serve as a forum for the spread and discussion of pressing energy questions. _______ 2. Energy is an important part in the development plans made for the world. _______ 3. Scientific researches give us great ideas of exploring new energy sources. _______ 4. Many factors should be taken into consideration as we plan to use new energy. _______ 5. How to use the solar power well is a good example of incorporating both natural and social science considerations. _______ 6. Carbon emissions have caused serious problems to mankind. _______ 7. Energy transition calls for joint efforts from many disciplines. _______ 8. The energy issue poses a challenge not only for the developing countries but also for the developed ones. _______ 9. With support, the energy industry is changing for a better future. _______ 10. Solar energy differs from traditional sources in that individuals can join in the production of energy.简答题Grocery shopping was an interesting way to attract extra attention and raised eyebrows from our neighbors.
