thumbs-up sign in his blog．The message soon spread across the world．Countless celebrities and politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron rose up to help the teenager．

There is no doubt that leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in the modern society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment．One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one．He was happy with his choice．It may have cost 30 yuan （just under US$4．50）—ten times the price of a filament （灯丝） bulb—but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle．And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending．
Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price．Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?
China’s environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the
decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change．But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost．
It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods．Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases．An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative—whether it’s a simple light bulb or the house it shines．For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden．How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich．
Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide （CO2） emissions．Their
responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future．The principle of “common but differentiated （可区分的）responsibility” —a basis of sustainable（可持续的）development—can be applied here as well．
In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure （基础设施）．Even
if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it．Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home． 28．What may probably be the best title of this passage?
A．To purchase a cheap bulb—your wise alternative B．To choose an energy-saving residence—a must of your life C．To live a low-carbon lifestyle—a promising but difficult purpose D．To live a low-carbon lifestyle—each citizen’s responsibility
29．Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb?
A．He wanted to save some money．
B．He wanted to try living his low-carbon lifestyle． C．He was asked to do so by some organizations． D．He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb．
30．We can infer from the passage that ________．
A．using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashion
B．not all citizens have the same responsibility—live a low-carbon lifestyle C．it’s difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyle
D．most Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence
31．What is the writer’s attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?
A．supportive but cautious C．negative but wise
D

Flash Mob: The Pop Culture
If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you
don’t need to feel surprised．They are a flash mob．Who are they? Are they mobs （暴民）? 36 Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate．
A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks． 37 At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds．Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive．
Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store．More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet．Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds． 38
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people．Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place． 39 They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product．
40 People use it to do many things．For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him．Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool．They were singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together．And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words．
Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory．
A．People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities． B．Don’t be confused by their name．
C．Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place． D．The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．
E．Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction． F．A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises． G．The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people． 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
