1、 Passage Two
Questionsare based on the following passage.
The Wall Street Journal quoted sources close to thecompany as saying a run of 4.000 devices will be manufacturednext month.The tablet will have two rear-facing camerasand advanced imaging software——and will be shown off at the firm’s forthcomingdevelopers’ conference.Google has said it will not commenton “rumor and speculation”.But in March,Google showed off Project Tango,all effortto bring 3D technology to its handheld devices.Aprototype smart phone had been given out to 200 developers to try out.
The technology makes use of infrared sensors tomeasure depth of surroundings.While the ability to create 3Dimages with small devices is by no means a new technological feat,Google’s strategy will be to harness the hardware to contribute to,among other things,its mapping effort.For instance,the devices could be used tocreate quickly a 3D map of indoor environments.Accordingto the Wall Street Journal,the 3D tablet will be shownof fat Google’s annual developers’ conference at the end of June.
As it did with the Google Glass eyewear product.itis expected the firm will A.low a select number ofdevelopers and engineers to experiment with the technology before a consumerlaunch is planned.although still a relatively minorindustry,the race to create the “killer app” forbuilding and viewing virtual reality environments is building a pace.In March,Facebook swooped in on a$2bn(£1.2bn) deal for OculusVR,a company making a virtual reality headset.
A mini-site for Project Tango has highlighted a fewof the firm’s plans in the area.“Project Tango is an attempt tocreate a mobile device unlike like any other,”the siteexplains.“A mobile device that shares our sense ofspace and movement,that understands and perceives theworld the same way we do.”
In the past few years,devices able to view andcreate 3D images have made it to market,but suffered heavilyfrom a lack of consumer interest,said Jack Kent,an analyst at IHS.“If Google really pushesit,that might change也e dynamicsof the market。”he told the BBC.

回答题
A Battle is Looming over Renewable Energy,and Fossil Fuel Interests are Losing
A. In state capitals across the country,legislators are debating proposals to roll back environmental rules,prodded by industry and advocacy groups eager to curtail(缩减)regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gases.
B.The measures,which have been introduced in about 18 states,lie at the heart of an effort to expand to the state level the battle over fossil fuel and renewable energy.The new rules would trim or abolish climate mandates--including those that require utilities to use solar and wind energy,as well as proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules that would reduce carbon emissions from power plants.
C.But the campaign—despite its backing from powerful groups such as Americans for Prosperity—has run into a surprising roadblock:the growing political clout of renewable-energy interests,even in rock-ribbed Republican states such as Kansas.
D. The stage has been set for what one lobbyist called“trench warfare”as moneyed interests on both sides wrestle over some of the strongest regulations for promoting renewable energy.And the issues are likely to surface this fall in the midterm elections,as well,with Califomia billionaire Tom Steyer pouring money into various gubernatorial(州长的)and state and federal legislative races to back candidates who support tough rules curbing pollution.
E.The multi-pronged conservative effort to roll back regulations,begun more than a year ago,is supported by a loose,well.funded confederation that includes the U.S.Chamber of Commerce,the National Association of Manufacturers and conservative activist groups such as Americans for Prosperity,a politically active nonprofit organization founded in part by brothers David and Charles Koch.These groups argue that existing government rules violate free-market principles and will ultimately drive up costs for consumers.
