Electric vehicle sales will likely jump over the next two to three years as prices fall and more choices are made available, according to BlackRock’s global head of department investing.

Customers will have more opportunities to move away from traditional combustion engines(内燃机) to electric vehicles and their choices will not be restricted to only certain auto suppliers, Evy Hambro told CNBC’s “Squawk Box ” on Thursday.

“I think we’re at this tipping point of change,” Hambro said. “Over the next two years, we’re going to see price point of entry(入口) drop . We’re expecting to see a big lift in electric vehicle sales over the next two to three years.”

Different countries are at various stages of adopting electric vehicles, depending on regulatory environments and consumer preferences, according to Hambro. For its part, China is leading the way in many new business models around automation and electric vehicles, including in battery technology, he said.

In a bid to curb(遏制) air pollution, Beijing has aggressively pushed for new energy vehicles — that run partially or fully on electricity — through preferential policies, providing subsidies and by exercising its manufacturing(制造) power. It is also exploring autonomous driving technology.

On Wednesday, American chipmaker Nvidia signed separate deals with Chinese electric vehicle start-ups XPeng Motors, Singulato Motors and SF Motors to develop the self-driving technology, despite the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

“We’re seeing China increasingly open up to international business,” Hambro said. “We’re now seeing high levels of ownership, majority ownership in some industries. We’re seeing licenses being given out to specific groups ... I think really we’re seeing some change there, maybe some of these trade tensions are starting to soften.” BMW also said Wednesday that it has obtained a license to provide ride-hailing services in the Chinese city of Chengdu, making the German automaker the first foreign company to do so in China. It will face heavy competition from local players including Didi Chuxing and Meituan Dache.

1.How will electric vehicle develop in the next two or three years?

A.Decline in sales. B.Price fall.

C.Decline in ownership. D.Reduction in suppliers.

2.Why does Beijing actively promote the use of new energy vehicles?

A.To get high profits. B.For transport development.

C.To protect the environment. D.For the development of the city.

3.How does the author introduce the increasing openness of China in the last Paragraph ？

A.By making a comparison. B.By giving an example.

C.By telling a story. D.By asking questions.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.New Development Trend of Electric Vehicles in China

B.Electric Vehicle Technology Looks Forward to New Progress.

C.New Trends of International Electric Vehicle Trade.

D.Electric Vehicle Sales to ‘See a Big Lift’ Over the Next 2 to 3 Years.

Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible.

For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they 　　 . As a member of that group, you would likely 　　 that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be 　　 to really get behind yourself. Because you might fear that your 　　 would not pay off.

More and more people take part in marathons these days – over 30,000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance. But it’s not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect. “I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18-19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up,” one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon. “I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised（淤肿的）forearms from all the elbows,” said another.

How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear – road traffic flow. Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow. One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University. They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠). At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time. But if the density becomes too high, there’s a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.

Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race. With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力)at each point on the route.

This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions – for example, for different starting procedures. Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward). Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.

Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig half-marathon in central Germany, which attracts around 6,000 participants. The traditional route had to be changed in 2013, because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely. It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel. Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options. The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used. Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided – and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge. On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route. The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.

1.What is the worst thing while running a marathon?

A. The long distance.　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Too many participants.

C. The dangerous blocking.　　　　　　　　　 D. Serious injuries in forearms.

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow.

B. The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes.

C. The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together.

D. The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser.

3.What is NOT true about the Rennsteig?

A. It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014.

B. It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon.

C. The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer.

D. The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic.

B. Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized.

C. Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon.

D. Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.

Fireworks explosions killed many people and injured hundreds more in China as the 2006 traditional Lunar New Year celebrations led to much disorder as well as joy across the nation.

At a temple fair in Henan, 36 people were killed on New Year's Day when a nearby storeroom full of fireworks exploded. The accident, caused by 3 children who threw burning fireworks into the storeroom, injured up to 48 people.

In the capital, Beijing, where a 12-year ban on Lunar New Year fireworks had just been lifted, the government reported 112 people were treated at hospital emergency rooms over the weekend for fireworks-related injuries.

"On New Year's Eve alone, we had more than 40 injuries and among them there were around a dozen people with serious injuries," hospital assistant director，Tian Jian said. In China's south-western city, Chongqing, where the fireworks ban was also lifted after 12 years, firefighters rushed to put out nearly 200 fires caused by fireworks on New Year's Eve.

A ban on fireworks, which are traditionally believed to ward off evil spirits and ghosts trying to enter New Year, was put in place across 200 cities in China due to safety and environmental pollution concerns. The ban was lifted in Beijing and many other cities in 2006.

However, despite the fireworks disorder, China's 1.3 billion people were largely enjoying the festival, with celebrations to continue throughout all of this week-long public holiday.

46. In which year were fireworks forbidden in Beijing and Chongqing?

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coining in, more and people are silting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it U about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.

Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.

Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.

A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which lei you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.

For most westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it’s like a dinner party where my taste buds and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.

1.What is the main reason why hoi pot is popular in China?

A. It has a history of over 1,000 years.

B. It is a fun social experience.

2.We can conclude from the article that British people generally　　　　　 .

A. enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants

B. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot

C. don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants

D. don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes

3.How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?

A. More than four hours.　　 B. Over one hour.

C. About three hours.　　 D. All the evening.

4.What is the author’s attitude to hot pot?

A. Serious.　　 B. Tired.

C. Humorous.　　 D. Appreciative.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A lime­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value　 the older people in their society.In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are　 respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge.Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people.As society changes，attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment.Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort.One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

1.The proportion of older people________.

A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B．is one­seventh of the population in developing countries

C．will increase much faster in China than in France

D．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

2.According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A．The diseases and disability of older people.

B．The longer life and good health of people.

C．The loss of taxes on older people.

D．The increasing respect for older people.

3.It is stated directly in the passage that older people should________.

A．be treated differently in different cultures

B．enjoy a similar lifestyle

C．be ignored as society changes

D．be valued by the younger generations

4.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C．Providing free health care for sick older people.

D．Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.

5.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
