18、dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door

19、and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生銹的) walls.In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum b

20、ought it, He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was therethe walls, the rus

21、t, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation (裝置) in therea slow-motion show.”Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard

22、, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (緩沖) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that

23、allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given th

24、ese architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.56. According to the passage, it is _ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.A. easyB. unnecessaryC. unrealisticD. common57. Yocum bought the old building because _.A. it was a bargain to himB. it

25、was still in good conditionC. it was located in the city centerD. it looked attractive from the outside58. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _.A. pulled rubbish out through the roofB. removed the skylights from the bathroomC. presented a slow-motion show in an art galleryD. built a kitchen

26、 at the back part of the old building59. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _.A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB. turned more old buildings into art galleriesC. got inspiration from decorating their old buildingD. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery

27、60. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. people can learn a lot from their failuresB. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old buildingC. people should not judge things by their appearanceD. creative people can make the best of what they haveBPriscilla Ouchidas “energy efficient” house turned

28、out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $10000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks (泄露), the house was equipped with small double-paned windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as s

29、oon as the couple moved in, however. Priscillas eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛) gas in her kit

30、chen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nations drive to save energy. The p

31、roblem itself isnt new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in

32、 newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didnt worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants generated in most household

33、s seldom built up to dangerous levels.61. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house _.A. is well worth the money spent on its constructionB. is almost faultless from the point of energy conservationC. failed to meet energy conservation standardsD. was designed and constructed in a s

34、cientific way62. What made the Ouchidas new house a horrible dream?A. Poor quality of the air inside.B. Poor quality of the construction.C. Gas leakage in the kitchen.D. The newly painted walls.63. The word “accentuate” (Para.3) most probably means “_”.A. relieveB. accelerateC. worsenD. improve64. W

35、hy were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A. Because indoor cleanliness was not emphasized.B. Because energy used to be inexpensive.C. Because environmental protection was given top priority.D. Because they were technically unavoidable.65. This passage is most probably taken from an article ent

36、itled _.A. Energy ConservationB. House Building CrisisC. Air Pollution IndoorsD. Traps in Building ConstructionCCalifornia has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with

37、 a state-approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Di

38、gital one can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and tees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial pro

39、blems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the states learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 tex

40、tbooks and approved ten of them.Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group fina

41、nced by the Khosla Family.California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves. Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some scho

42、ols with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader, Schools could print out copies, but

43、 that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.66. The Digital Textbook Initiative _.A. will probably take effect in six years.B. covers all the high school subjects.C. has been approved by all states.D. is advocated by California

44、 state governor.67. The main reason for promoting digital textbooks is to _.A. help save money.B. benefit the environment.C. provide interesting materials.D. reduce students heavy burden.68.

According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks _.A. are not likely to have a widespread use.B. will soon replace traditional ones.C. will first be adopted by well-equipped schools.D. are certain to be approved by school districts.70. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A.

46、schools are reluctant to print out copies.B. the use of digital textbooks is not really free.C. students need to pay for computers.D. training teachers to use the textbooks is not efficient.第II卷（滿分25分）V.閱讀表達(dá)（每題2分；滿分10分）Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mothers instincts are nev

47、er wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cats quick thinking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As

48、 the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to k

49、ittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they werent able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adopt
