Text 1 The cost of supporting new windfarms and nuclear power stations to meet the UK's carbon targets will add nearly￡100 to the average household energy bill by the end of the next decade,according to a govemment adviser.But the Committee on Climate Change said it expected the increase to be more than offset by savings as people switched to more efficient fridge freezers,LED bulbs and better boilers.The committee,a body of experts set up under the Climate Change Act to advise the government,found that a rise of~105,or 9%,to the average~1,160 dual fuel bill in 2016 was down to green policies.These included subsidies for windfarms and solar power through schemes such as the Renewables Ob/igation.A report by the committee predicts that meeting the UK's carbon targets would see the cost of the subsidies rise to￡200 0f an average bill of￡1,350 by 2030.However,other factors were involved in the net increase.The committee also calculated that rising wholesale energy costs and other issues will add more than￡200 a year to bills,while an ongoing switch to more energy-efficient appliances and gadgets is expected to save￡150.Matthew Bell,chief executive of the committee,told The Guardian that he thought it was worth spending the money on climate policies.“The reason we're acting to reduce our emissions is climate change poses real risks,real risks to the UK as well as round the world."The cost was relatively modest,he said,adding:"What our analysis says quite clearly is that as a proportion of total energy costs,climate costs are a small minority portion.The vast majority of your energy bill is accounted by other things,like wholesale costs and transmission costs."Some of the energy companies,such as German-owned E.ON,laid the blame for the rises partly on the cost of supporting green policies.But the Committee on Climate Change said that such policies had in fact saved￡290 a year off the average household energy bill between 2008 and 2016,because they had encouraged a shifi to A-rated fridge freezers,condensing boilers and a swing away from old time lightbulbs to energy-saving ones.Bell said that future progress on more energy-efficient appliances was slowing slightly,but there was still potential for huge savings."We're still seeing only l%oflighting being LEDs.And what we've not factored in at all is what IT will do for how we manage energy in our homes,"21.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A.The Climate Change committee advised the govemment to increase it. B.More efficient devices demanded more energy. C.The sustainable approaches are paid partly by the British. D.New windfarms are built to meet the UK's carbon targets.
“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS）,deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably,however,the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010,leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by“federal,state and local governments,universities,foundations,educators,individual benefactors and others”to“maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”In response,the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences.Among the commission’s 51 members are top-tier-university presidents,scholars,lawyers,judges,and business executives,as well as prominent figures from diplomacy,filmmaking,music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable.Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry,the report supports full literacy;stresses the study of history and government,particularly American history and American government;and encourages the use of new digital technologies.To encourage innovation and competition,the report calls for increased investment in research,the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century,increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages,international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately,despite 2?years in the making,"The Heart of the Matter"never gets to the heart of the matter:the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits.Sadly,the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing“progressive,”or left-liberal propaganda.Today,professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine,and sometimes legitimate,intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education.Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how toA.retain people’s interest in liberal education B.define the government’s role in education C.keep a leading position in liberal education D.safeguard individuals’rights to education
