Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors by going to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店).Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially1． they lack health insurance. Or they may stay away because they find it2．(embarrass) to discuss their weight, smoking, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative 3． (experience) in the past. But4．(play) doctor can also be a deadly game.

Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet5．medical answers--- and most of them aren’t nearly sceptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet &American Life Project found that 72 percent of those6．(survey) believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn’t look up “headache” and the chances of finding 7．(rely) and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain,8． (be) only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous9． (inform) exists on the Internet.

The problem is most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative ( 权威的)，so it’s hard to know if what you’re reading is 10．(reason) or not,” says Dr.Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.

Science and technology are advancing at tremendous speed. We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our 1． technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices 2． much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York 3． the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has 4． since the early 1990s. The devices were 5． by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the 6． in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.

As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets 7． in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The 8． number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to thirteen in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and 9． to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

So what’s the possible solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers would replace old products with new electronics that 10． more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.

请阅读下面这则寓言，并按照要求用英语写一篇80词左右的review。
相关词汇：crow (乌鸦)

Why don’t you drink water as the book told us?

Crows Drink Water

There was only a little water in a bottle which had a long and narrow neck. A fat crow came to the bottle and drank the water by a straw. He was enjoying the water when another thirsty crow went by. Accustomed (习惯于) to the way of drinking water taught in books, the thirsty crow was very surprised. He asked the fat crow, “Why don’t you drink water as the book told us?” The fat crow replied,“Because this method can make me drink water faster.”

A leaked IPCC draft reports, “Widespread use across millions of square kilometers globally of tree-planting and bioenergy crops could have potentially serious consequences for food security and land degradation (退化).” In other words, more massive monocultures (单种栽培) and more bioenergy crops, fueled by more fertilizers, could damage the structure of the environmental soil and its capacity to absorb carbon.

Everyone knows that to help ease the increasing climate crisis, we need to plant new trees. It’s said that the earth could support an additional 9,000,000 square kilometers of forest, potentially hosting 500 billion trees capable of capturing more than 200 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide at maturity. It would be a serious help to the environment.

Bioenergy now holds a 50 percent share of the world’s renewables consumption—as much as hydro, wind, solar and all others combined. It’s good news, but not entirely. If we consider that increasing desertification and rising ocean levels will take away more arable (可耕种的) land, we arrive at a crucial “trilemma”(三难困境). Should we use our spare soil for agriculture, reforestation or bioenergy?

Such a question would make sense in a multilateral, harmonious world, not on a planet where the richest country cancels an environment-saving agreement, thus encouraging the most tropically-forested nation to set about cutting trees.

Last year, 36,000 square kilometers of forest was cut down. Wouldn’t it be better to start by stopping deforestation altogether? Animal farming takes up 77 percent of the world’s arable land and provides us with 18 percent of the calories. Shouldn’t we cut back on global meat consumption? Modern bioenergy is already available. Shouldn’t we get rid of first-generation biofuels, which are produced from food crops?

1．What’s the IPCC’s attitude to the widespread planting?

A．Ambiguous

B．Positive

C．Disapproving

D．Uncaring

2．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A．Add some background information.	B．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C．Provide some advice for the readers.	D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

3．How can we understand “but not entirely” in paragraph 3?

A．There is less sustainable energy for use.

B．No more land is available for bioenergy.

C．More trees are cut in the richest country.

D．Bioenergy can cause more climate problems.

4．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Developing farmland as much as possible.

B．Planting trees to prevent global warming.

C．Using bioenergy to reduce environmental pollution.

D．Protecting present resources instead of developing new ones.
