It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accidentThere was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one factDo we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotelNow what do you think of the rest of the “news”?44Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?ABeldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summerBA fire broke out at night in Seabreeze Hotel last summerCIt was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapersDTwo newspapers gave reports on the same matter45Which of the following are probably facts?aThe fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotelbA cigarette started the firecAn old lamp started the firedThe fire broke out at nighteThere has never been a fire in CanfieldAb and cBa and dCc and eDa and c46The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _ Ahotels in Beldon often catch fireBhotels in Beldon dont often catch fireCthis was the second fire at the Seabreeze HotelDBeldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe47The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that _Athe bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze HotelBthe bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took placeCthe firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other thingsDsuch accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 yearsCWith the theme Cherishing the earths resources, transforming the mode of development and living a low-carbon lifestyle, Chinas Ministry of Land and Resources held a ceremony this Thursday to mark the 41st World Earth Day, aims to generate new ideas of resource-saving, especially among the younger generationIn fact, Chinese young urbanities are turning to the seemingly trendy low-carbon lifestyleBut for the country as a whole to achieve a low-carbon economy, it could mean ordinary people paying more for electricity, water, gas or simply every purchaseOf necessity, a low-carbon economy would be the basis of Chinas economic growth, yet it comes with a high price tagEverybody longs for fresh air, clean water and healthy surroundingsBut, who is going to pay for that?For those who are still working hard for the basic necessities of life, sharing the cost of a greener environment can be taxingFor those who are already victimized by environmental pollution, additional expenditure for saving the environment is hard to bearBehind all the lofty goals and loaded phrases of climate change negotiations, in everyday terms, the Chinese want to know whether companies will make them pay the cost of saving energy or whether government would come up with new levelsThey have reasons to worryThe recent hike in the charges of utilities, such as natural gas, water and electricity, have led to widespread public grievance（抱怨,牢骚）, for the increases were imposed without proper public hearingBesides the practice of monopoly State-owned enterprises raising prices at will does not seem to bode well for a low-carbon economyThe government has a responsibility to strengthen regulation of utility charges and make the pricing mechanism more transparentIn the age of the low-carbon economy, the Chinese government needs to strike a new balance between public welfare and business competitivenessHow far the initiatives toward a low-carbon economy succeed depends on whether they truly benefit ordinary people and is accepted by themThe majority cannot sacrifice their life to build a greener world for the few48The author probably agrees to call on _Amore and more citizens to devote
