17、tal problems have been a major concern to people. Almost all things are related to the word “Green”, say, green buildings. A green building means not only the color of the paint. Also, it refers to environmentally friendly houses, factories and offices.Green building means “reducing the impact of th

18、e 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 s

19、uch 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 dont destroy forests.Marty Dettling is the project manager for a b

20、uilding 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 onethird and our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the surface of the building we hav

21、e solar panels(電池板)which change the suns 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

22、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 source. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It is going to take off.”56.“A green building” most refers to a(n) _building according to the passage.A

23、. not ripe or modern B. covering green color C. environmentally friendly D. fresh or new57.All of the following are the reasons why green buildings are environmentally friendly EXCEPT that_.A. they can reduce energy and water use in many waysB. they are often built on an area of land which has alrea

24、dy been used for buildingsC. people can collect energy from sunlight to heat water and produce electricityD. they are equipped with lots of modern but cheaper equipment58.According to the passage, green buildings dont usually stand on faraway and inconvenient areas because_.A. the places will cause

25、a lot of trouble and inconvenience to construction workB. cars will give off more pollution and more forests will be destroyedC. the environment of the places is not better than that of big citiesD. the places are poorly equipped and unfriendly59.The main idea of the passage may be_.A. settling desi

26、gned the first green building in the USB. energy shortage calls for buildings of new designC. the Solaire serves as a model of high buildingsD. green buildings help save environmentBIts impolite to spit out the first bite of your dinner. But to a type of Australian snake, this rude behavior is a mat

27、ter of life and death.The snake, called a floodplain death adder(蝰蛇),eats two types of frogs that are hard to stomach. The frogs produce chemicals to defend them from predators(獵食者).One of these species, the Dahls frog, can kill a snake that tries to eat it. The other species, the marbled frog, is l

28、ess dangerous but still tough to eat. When attacked, it produces a glue like substance. Leaves and branches get caught up in this material, making a big sticky mess that gets in the way of anything trying to swallow it. A marbled frog can even get stuck on the head of an attacking snake.Both frogs h

29、ave good defense methods. But the floodplain death adder knows how to get around each of them.Floodplain death adders quickly strike these frogs, using their poisonous teeth to inject poison. But then, instead of swallowing their dinner immediately, the snakes sit back and wait for their preys to be

30、come safe to eat. Thats because both the Dahls frogs protective toxin(毒素) and the marbled frogs glue break down over time. After a while, the frog toxin is no longer poisonous and the glue is no longer sticky.The two substances break down at different rates, and floodplain death adders seem to know

31、the difference. An adder waits for a different length of time depending on the species of frog it just struck.The stickiness of the marbled frog glue decreased by as much as twothirds after just 10 minutes. And thats just about how long an adder waits before eating a marbled frog.On the other hand,

32、the snakes wait for about 40 minutes before eating a Dahls frog. Thats enough time for the frogs toxin to break down into harmless substances.But even a quick strike gives a taste of the Dahls frogs toxin. After striking such a frog, a floodplain death adder thrashes(翻騰) around and lies on its back

33、with its mouth open. Its like the snake has just had a mouthful of chili pepper.By comparison, when given frogs that have no chemical defenses, floodplain death adders eat their prey immediately after striking. Snakes, despite the fact that theyve got this tiny peasize brain are clearly capable of r

34、ecognizing what kind of frog theyve bitten.60.Whats the best title of the passage? _A. A dangerous meal B.A snake-floodplain death adderC. Two types of frogs-Dahls Frog and Marbled FrogD. The method of killing frogs61. The underlined word “it” in the 3rd paragraph refers to the_.A. marbled frogB. Da

35、hls frogC. floodplain death adder D. glue62.The glue produced by the marbled frog is used for_.A. sticking the snakes head B. making a safe place to live inC. preventing anything from trying to attack it D. killing an attacking snake63. Whats the floodplain death adders method to make the frogs safe

36、 to eat ?A. They thrash around with their mouths open.B. They sit back and wait for their preys to become safe to eat.C. They inject poison on the preys and wait for the breaking down of their toxin and glue before eating them.D. They quickly strike these frogs.COne of the qualities that most people

37、 admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mis

38、take fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the ti

39、me, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and halfd

40、ozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放)three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so

41、 I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any

42、broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.64.The author was _when he wrote this article.A. about 8B. about 18 C. about 23 D. about 1565.Who should have been blamed for knocking of

43、f the stacks of cartons? _A. The author. B. The woman C. The manager. D.The authors mother.66.When the manager scolded him, the author_.A. was frightened and cried B. felt the manager was rightC. did not say anything D. tried to explain67.It can be inferred that the author _.A. regrets arguing with

44、the manager for what he didnt doB. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years agoC. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg saleD. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she madeDRachel Carson, a well-known nature author in America, was happiest writi

45、ng about the strength and stability of natural systems. Her books mainly described the inter connectedness of nature and all living things.Completing Silent Spring took Carson four years. First published in The New Yorker in June 1962,the book alarmed readers across America. It described how DDT ent

46、ered the food chain and accumulated (堆積) in the fatty tissues of animals, including human beings, and caused cancer and genetic damage.Carson begins by describing exactly these effects in the first chapter, creating strong images and drawing the readers in. As the book continues, she gives various e

47、xamples of how insecticides(殺蟲劑) are not only unsuccessful, but actually very costly and damaging. She also explains about the biological controls which are less expensive and much more efficient.A single application on a crop, she wrote, killed insects for weeks and months, and not only the targete

48、d insects but countless more, and remained poisonous in the environment even after it was washed out by rainwater. Carson concluded that DDT and other pesticides had definitely harmed birds and animals and had destroyed the entire worlds food supply. The books most famous chapter, A Fable for Tomorr

49、ow, described a nameless American town where all lifefrom fish to birds to apple blossoms to human childrenhad been “silenced” by the harmful effects of DDT.The most important effect of Silent Spring, though, was a new public awareness that nature was so easily destroyed by human intervention. Rache

50、l Carson had made a brave proposal: that, at times, technological progress is so basically at odds with(與不一致) natural processes that it must be prevented.68.What are Rachel Carsons books mainly concerned about? _A. The relationship between man and nature.B. The balance of natural systems.C. The inte

51、rconnection of nature and living things.D. The pollution of the environment.69.According to the text, Silent Spring_.A. didnt draw the readers attention when first publishedB. mainly describes peoples quiet lives in an American townC. effectively tells people how to keep the balance of natureD. show

53、he importance of technical progressC. aware of the necessity of environmental protectionD. rethink the harmful effects of developing industryEOutside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watch

54、ing her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old ladys work was interrupted by the cackling of her hena signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystac
