- 5 【英译汉】 Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volumes of greenhouse gases as the world’s airlines do — roughly 2 percent of all CO2 emissions? Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of CO2 depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right” answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then, Google has to maintain vast data centres round the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO2, these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centres need to be well air- conditioned, which uses even more energy. However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much to be done, and not just by big companies.

- 以一般读者为对象的评价建筑作品的著作,应当包括对建筑作品两方面的评价,一是实用价值,二是审美价值,否则就是有缺陷的。摩顿评价意大利巴洛克宫殿的专著,详细地分析评价了这些宫殿的实用功能,但是没能指出这些宫殿,特别是它们的极具特色的拱顶,是西方艺术的杰作。 假设以下哪项,能从上述断定得出结论:摩顿的上述专著是有缺陷的()。

- 据某网站报道,过去三年,中国一直在测试运-8GX6(也叫“高新6号”)反潜巡逻机,这是与美国的P-3C海上反潜巡逻机相对应的机型。文章称,中国“高新6号”是一种四发涡轮螺旋桨飞机,重61吨,翼展38米,巡航速度为每小时660公里。这两种飞机在外形和装备上类似。除非观测到高新6号实际操作且有高水平的逻辑分析能力,否则不能判断这两种飞机在性能上有多么接近。 根据以上陈述,假设高新6号与P-3C已被军事专家Smith判断出在性能上有多么接近,则以下哪项为真()。 I.高新6号的实际操作已被Smith观测到; II.或者Smith有高水平的逻辑分析能力,或者他没观测到高新6号实际操作; III.或者Smith没有高水平的逻辑分析能力,或者高新6号的实际操作一定被他观测到了。
- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞,选择若干要点,写一篇600字左右的文章,对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。(论证有效性分析的一般要点是:概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致,有无各种明显的逻辑错误,论证的论据是否成立并支持结论,结论成立的条件是否充分等等。) 一个国家的文化在国际上的影响力是该国软实力的重要组成部分。由于软实力是评判一个国家国际地位的要素之一,所以如何增强软实力就成了各国政府高度关注的大问题。 其实,这一问题不难解决。既然一个国家的文化在国际上的影响力是该国软实力的重要组成部分。那么,增强软实力,只需搞好本部的文化建设并向世人展示就好了。 文化有两个特性,一个是普同性,一个是特异性,所谓普同性,是指不同背景的文化具有相似的伦理道德和价值取向,东方文化和西方文化都肯定善行,否定恶行。所谓特异性是指不同背景的文化具有不同的思想意识和行为方式。如西方文化崇尚个人价值,而东方文化固守道德意识,正因为文化具有普同性,所以一国文化就一定会被他国所接受,正因为文化具有特异性,所以一国文化就一定会被他国所关注。无论是接受还是关注,都体现了该国文化影响力的扩大,也即表明了该国软实力的增强。 文化作品当今也是有文化的本质属性。一篇小说,一出歌剧,一部电影等等。虽然一般以故事情节、人物形象、语言特色等艺术要素取胜,但在这些作品中,也往往锁定了一种生活方式,弘扬了一种道德观念,这种生活方式和价值观念不管是同一还是特异的,都会被他国所接受和关注。都能产生文化影响的。由此可知,只要创作更多的体现本国文化特色的文艺作品,那么文化影响的扩大就是无疑的,而且国家的软实力也必将同步增强。
