第三部分 阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,共20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Green building means “reducing the huge effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington D. C. said.
According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US 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 they dont destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “Weve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the lace of the building we have solar panels(太阳能电池板)which change the suns energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自动地)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 wants to move into a green building very much, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “Its going to be big.”
51. What do the underlined words “the building” in Paragraph 2 most probably refer to?
A. An ordinary building. B. An energy-saving building.
C. A green-colored building. D. A green high-rise building.
52. When Holowka says “Its going to be big” in the last paragraph, she means that green buildings will ___ .
A. be more comfortable B. become popular in the future
C. be more environmentally friendly D. take the place of traditional buildings
53. What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the US.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
C. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
D. Green buildings help protect the environment.
B
The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I wanted to try her kind of work too. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
54. Tracy started her work as a volunteer ___ .
A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high school
C. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital
55. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She had already had some experience.
C. She was asked by Mother Teresas example. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresas example.
56. What is Tracys new idea of being a volunteer in the last paragraph?
A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresas home.
C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others.
C
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as a great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which is now used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, and nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence, just because that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong emphasis(强调)on test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cant recognize ways to apply it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earlier age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its just choosing between two food items(物品)for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. This may be confusing for the child, but it is all right. This is because one of the most important characters of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
57. What did the company where Drew once worked learned from its mistake?
A. They discouraged people from thinking freely.
B. They encouraged people to work a longer time.
C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D. They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.
58. According to Paragraph 3, creativity is something that ___ .
A. people are born with
B. is not important at all
C. depends on ones high intelligence
D. is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems
59. Why dont schools try to encourage creativity?
A. They pay too much attention to examination marks, language and mathematical skills.
B. They think it more important to remember some information.
C. They dont understand the importance of education.
D. They dont want their students to make mistakes.
60. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A. Leave them as they are.
B. Take no notice of whatever they do.
C. Try to help them as much as possible.
D. Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.

第二节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you dont feel energetic, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled(被命名)“Stress and Sleep”, indicates that stress and sleep are directly related. Dr Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, and the more unable we are to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good nights sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with whats worrying us.”
So, what is a good nights sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours are about the average amount and, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more energetic.
Dr Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your muscles(肌肉), working slowly up from your feet, and youll be asleep before you know it.”
71. What does a person feel when he/she wakes up after not sleeping well all night? (within 10 words)
72. What does the article “Stress and Sleep” in a recent newspaper indicate? (within 6 words)
73. What is the average amount of a good nights sleep? (within 2 words)
