If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical （修辞的） companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though throughWhat is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oilBut there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy runningYes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they dont really want to produce all their own oilThey value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroadVast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protectionTo what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to tradeIt allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefitAnd although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economyWhen that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher pricesAt the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.64What does the author say about energy independence for America?AIt sounds very attractive BIt ensures national securityCIt will bring oil prices down DIt has long been everyones dream.65Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?AIt wants to expand its storage of crude oil（原油）.BIts own oil reserves are quickly running out.CIt wants to keep its own environment undamaged.DIts own oil production falls short of demand66What does the author say about oil trade?AIt proves profitable to both sidesBIt improves economic efficiencyCIt makes for economic prosperityDIt saves the cost of oil explorationCThe question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts（文科） in higher education isnt an either/or proposition（命题），although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM（science, technology, engineering, maths）-related fields can make it seem that wayThe latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also states firmly that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central components of Americas educational system at all levelsBoth are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become creative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time providesParents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobsUnder these circumstances, its natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long runIndeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easilyMoreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as theres little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careersThe ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexibleThe ability to draw upon every available tool and insightpicked up from science, arts, and technologyto solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States67What does the latest congressional report suggest?ASTEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.BHigher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.CThe liberal
