2.These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint.Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses,factories,and offices.
Green building means"reducing the effect of the building on the land",Taryn Holowka of the U.S.Green Building Council(評議會(huì)) in Washington,D.C.,said.According to Holowka,building accounts for 65percent of total U.S.electricity use.
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use.Also,the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways,so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment,because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land,so that the buildings don't destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action.The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building.According to Dettling,"We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50percent."
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power."On the face of the building we have solar panels(光板) which change the sun's energy into electricity,"Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room.In addition,the building has lots of windows,allowing people to use the sun for light during the day.The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building,however.Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources.Anyhow,Holowka said,"It's going to be big."

32.A green building meansC.
A.a(chǎn) building that uses no electricity         
B.a(chǎn) building occupying less land
C.a(chǎn) building that saves energy and water      
D.a(chǎn) green-colored building
33.A green building is often built on an area of landA.
A.which has already been for buildings
B.which has thick forests around
C.where people of high income live
D.where traveling around by car is most convenient
34.When Holowka says inthe last paragraph,"It's going to be big",she means that green buildingsB.
A.will be more comfortable 
B.will become popular in future
C.will be more environmentally friendly    
D.will take the place of traditional buildings
35.Which is the main idea of the passage?C
A.Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.
B.The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
C.Green buildings help save the environment.
D.Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.

分析 本文主要介紹了綠色建筑,全文都在具體說明綠色建筑以及它的諸多優(yōu)點(diǎn),并且展望未來.

解答 32-35 CABC
32.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段第二句"Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses,factories,and offices."可知,green building 指那些環(huán)境友好型房屋、工廠和辦公室.因此C項(xiàng)正確.A項(xiàng),由第五段第一句"On the face of the building we have solar panels(光板) which change the sun's energy into electricity"可知房屋都是要用電的,因此錯(cuò)誤;B項(xiàng),文中未提及,因此錯(cuò)誤;D項(xiàng),由第一段第一句"These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint."可知環(huán)境友好型房屋的意義遠(yuǎn)和涂成綠色不同,因此錯(cuò)誤.故正確答案為C.
33.A  推斷題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句"Green buildings are often built on developed land,so that the buildings don't destroy forests."可知,綠色建筑往往建立在已開發(fā)的土地上,這樣建筑便不會(huì)破壞森林.其余項(xiàng)在文中均未提及,因此錯(cuò)誤.故正確答案為A.
34.B 推斷題.根據(jù)最后一段第二句話"Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources."可知,人們對綠色建筑的使用還存在懷疑,但是 Holowka 說,無論如何,這一設(shè)計(jì)未來都將非常流行,故B項(xiàng)正確. C項(xiàng),由第一段第二句"Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses,factories,and offices."可知環(huán)境友好型的房屋就是綠色房屋,因此與 Holowka 說的話無關(guān),因此錯(cuò)誤.其余項(xiàng)均未在文中提及.故正確答案為B.
35.C 主旨題.本文主要介紹了綠色建筑,一、二段講了綠色建筑的定義,第三段講了綠色建筑的好處,四、五、六段講了綠色建筑現(xiàn)在的發(fā)展?fàn)顩r,并敘述了它的原理,最后一段則說明人們對它的看法,并認(rèn)為它的前景很廣闊.全文都在具體說明綠色建筑以及它的諸多優(yōu)點(diǎn),并且展望未來,因此這些建筑是可以保護(hù)環(huán)境的.C項(xiàng)意為"綠色建筑可以保護(hù)環(huán)境",符合文意.故正確答案為C.

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  (3)排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

12.Whether we're 2 years old or 62,our reasons for lying are mostly the same:to get out of trouble,for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others.But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child's lie is different from an adult's lie,and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
"Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed.Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,"says Dr.Lee,a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study.He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older,why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying.The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage.Dr.Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras.Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy,which is put behind the child's back.Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.
For young kids,the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments.When the test-giver returns to the room,the child is asked if he or she looked secretly.At age 2,about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn't.By 3,half of kids will lie,and by 4,that figure is 90%,studies show.
Researchers have found that it's kids with better understanding abilities who lie more.That's because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind,which includes many brain processes,such as combining several sources of information and faking that information.The ability to lie-and lie successfully-is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called"executive functioning",or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities.Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.
62.What's the purpose of children telling lies?B
A.To help their friends out.
B.To get rid of trouble.
C.To get attention from others.
D.To create a popular image.
63.The underlined word"deceive"in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by"B".
A.handle troubles                                       
B.tell lies  
C.raise questions                                   
D.do research
64.From the second paragraph we can know thatC.
A.which factors can reduce lying
B.why some lie more than others
C.it is normal for kids to tell lies
D.how lying changes as kids grow
65.What is NOT included in the passage?A
A.What to do with lying children.
B.Which kind of kids tells more lies.
C.Experiments about lying of young kids.
D.The reasons why kids tell lies.

13.You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes.But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman,to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately.Frankfurt-based IT consultant,Daniel Kalliontzis,came up with the idea and is raising money to put his£43sticker into production.
Car owners can put the sticker inside their car's windscreen,having set it up with key information,such as their phone number.The slim design will include a sensor(傳感器)that,when touched by a traffic policeman,will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine.The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone,which will appear on the sticker's screen.
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way,a German law.The law states:an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car.
Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way.A spokesman said,"In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket.However,a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning."
So far,Mr.Kalliontzis has raised just over£2,362of his£39,381goal.If he manages to raise the money,the stickers will be shipped in June 2015.But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages,because anyone could touch the smart sticker.
28.The author wrote the third paragraph toA.
A.explain how a smart car sticker works
B.a(chǎn)dvise drivers to buy a car sticker
C.show the importance of a sensor
D.tell drivers how to park a car
29.We may infer from the text that in BritainB.
A.car owners don't have to worry about a parking ticket
B.smart car stickers wouldn't work as well as in Germany
C.traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car
D.the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers
30.The underlined word"discretion"in Paragraph 5can best be replaced by"C".
A.trouble     
B.pressure       
C.freedom 
D.opportunity
31.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.Daniel Kalliontzis-a great inventor         
B.Environment-friendly car stickers
C.Parking systems in Europe                      
D.End of the parking ticket?

10.Many animals recognize their food because they see it.So do humans.When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat.You can also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good.You may dislike some types of food because they do not look,smell or taste very nice.Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.A few animals depend on only one of their senses,while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food,some animals spend their lives eating only one type.The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo.Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice.A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage,even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.However,most animals have a more varied diet.The bear eats fruits and fish.The fox eats small animals,birds and fruits.The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet.We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us.In countries such as France and Britain,people eat foods with too much sugar.This makes them overweight,which is bad for their health.Eating too much red meat and animal products,such as butter,can also be bad for the health.Choosing the right food,therefore,has become an area of study in modern life.

21.We can infer from the text that humans and animalsC.
A.depend on one sense in choosing food
B.a(chǎn)re not satisfied with their food
C.choose food in similar ways
D.eat entirely different food
22.Which of the following eats only one type of food?A.

A.the season changes
B.the food color changes
C.they move to different places
D.they are attracted by different smells

11.U.S.Open Championships
The US Open has been in existence for more than 120 years.The first tournament(錦標(biāo)賽)was held in 1881 at the Newport Casino.It was called the US National Singles Championship.Entry was limited to only those clubs which were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association,and the competitors were all male,competing in both singles and  doubles.Richard Sears won the men's championship and he went on to win the next six men's singles championships.
The Wimbledon
In 1875,the All England Croquet Club was troubled financially due to declining(下滑的)membership.A new sport called lawn tennis was gaining fast in popularity and taking away the members.Two years later,a new roller was needed for maintaining (維護(hù)) its lawns so the club proposed to hold a tournament to raise money.Twenty-two players entered that first Wimbledon tournament which was won by Spencer Gore in straight sets over W.C.Marshall.Two hundred spectators(觀眾)each paid a shilling to watch the final game,enabling the club to buy the needed roller plus some extra cash.
The French Open
The very first French Championship was held back in 1891,and the tournament has since grown into one of the four tennis Grand Slam tournaments we know today.The first competition was a one-day national championship which was won by a British.The competition was poorly attended by world class players.It took 24 years before it became fully international and an accepted tennis grand slam event.After the First World War,F(xiàn)rench tennis was achieving stature.Suzanne Lenglen was the predominant(有影響的)French player,winning the championships six times between 1920 and 1926.
The Australian Open
The very first tennis tournament ever played in Australia was held in January 1880,on the courts of the Melbourne Cricket Club.In 1905,the Australian Open was established as the Australasian Tennis Championship and was played at the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground in Melbourne.It became the Australian Championship in 1927 and the Australian Open in  1969.Women's events were added in 1922.

12.Every day  we are bombarded with images,videos,music and news.In this age of  visual and aural hyper-stimulation,the medium of radio is making a phenomenal  comeback.
"We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio,"said US-based podcaster Alex  Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald.In the last month alone,15  percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast.These statistics,released by Edison  Research,reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present  day's digital podcast format.The term"podcast,"was coined in 2004,but the trend only  started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years.Since the leap in consumer  demand for smartphones and tablets,podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.
The appeal of the podcast partially resides in its multiplatform delivery and  on-demand capabilities.You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when  you're walking to the shops,waiting in a queue or riding the subway.Similar to television shows,podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content  every week.
Donna Jackson,22,Sydney university media graduate,listens to podcasts two or three times a week,via iTunes."I listen while I'm pottering around the house doing  something else.It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable…And it's an  easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world,"she said.
Unlike television and music,the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers.Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability"to  create intimacy and emotional connection."Sydney University undergraduate Hazel  Proust,major in social work and arts,agrees."When you're tuned in,it feels as if the voice of the podcast's narrator is talking directly to you.It's comforting,"said Proust.
