27、More than half the world’s population live in cities, and by 2050 the UN expects that proportion to reach 68%. This means more homes, roads and other infrastructure. In India alone, a city the size of Chicago will have to be developed every year to meet demand for housing. Such a construction increase is a bad sign for dealing with climate change, because making steel and concrete, two of the most common building materials, generates around 8% of the world’s CO2 emissions (排放). If cities are to expand and become greener at the same time, they will have to be made from something else.

Wood is one of the most promising sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to steel and concrete. It is not, however, everyday wood that is attracting the interest of architects.

Rather, it is a material called engineered timber. This is a combination of different layers, each designed to meet the requirements of specific parts such as floors, panels and beams (横梁). Designers can use it to provide levels of strength like steel, in a product that is up to 80% lighter. In addition, engineered timber is usually made into large sections in a factory for future use, which reduces the number of deliveries to a construction site.

According to Michael Ramage of the University of Cambridge, a wooden building produces 75% less CO2 than a steel and concrete one of the same size. However, if building with wood takes off, it does raise concern about there being enough trees to go round. But with sustainably managed forests that should not be a problem, says Dr Ramage. A family-sized apartment requires about 30 cubic metres of timber, and he estimates Europe’s sustainable forests alone grow that amount every seven seconds. Nor is fire a risk, for engineered timber does not burn easily. Besides, fireproofing layers can be added to the timber. All in all, then, it looks as if wood as a building material may get a new lease of life.

【1】Why is India mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．To point out the severe pollution.

B．To predict the population increase.

C．To indicate the high degree of urbanization.

D．To show the great need for building materials.

【2】What can be learned about engineered timber?

A．It is produced at a low cost.

B．It hardly appeals to architects.

C．It helps save energy in transportation.

D．It possesses greater strength than steel.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “takes off” in the last paragraph mean ?

A．Becomes cheaper.

B．Gains popularity.

C．Requires less work.

D．Proves sustainable.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Making Future Cities More Attractive

B．Living in a World with Less Emission

C．Building Sustainable Cities with Woods

D．Growing More Trees for Future Building

28、   You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice. You can't on someone else to make you happy.

You can choose your emotions（情感）. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose a new pair of shoes. When you're buying new shoes, you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that don't fit well, right? You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life. So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be after you realize your anger has shown up can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others influence our emotions, we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep in check our feelings and not react immediately to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t be lost in what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

【2】What does it mean if we choose to be happy rather than angry?

A.We're making others happy B.We're better controlling our feelings.

C.We're getting to know our emotions. D.We’re sharing power with others.

【3】Which of the following best explains “keep in check” underlined in Paragraph 4?

A.Express. B.Set down. C.Improve. D.Hold back.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A.How to choose our feelings. B.Where to find happiness.

C.Making decisions to be cheerful. D.Thinking twice before actions.

29、   Crimes happen every day, but people aren’t the only victims of illegal activities. There are also animals. Though animals can’t tell the police officers what they’ve suffered, these are some of the hardest cases to solve.

As we all know, poachers can make a lot of money by selling meat, fur and other parts of protected animals. As the animals become rarer, their parts become more valuable. So poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species. In the past few years, the price of ivory has risen to about $850 per kg. An ivory can sometimes weigh 11 kg or more.

Now, scientists are fighting back. It is known that DNA plays a big part in solving human crimes. Like fingerprints, DNA is unique to every person. So by examining DNA in blood or hair, the police can recognize criminals and victims.

When the police find poached animal parts, such as their fur or bones, it is difficult to know what species the victims are, which is mostly cared about. DNA can prove helpful in figuring it out and also where the animals came from. That’s because members of one local group of animals share more DNA in common with each other than they do with more distant groups of their species.

If the world’s poaching victims could talk, they would probably thank these scientists for their work.

【1】The author uses the example of ivory to show that ________.

A. ivory is the most expensive part of an elephant

B. poaching is a very common activity in the world

C. poachers always treat the protected animals cruelly

D. poachers make a large profit from their illegal activities

【2】What is the author’s attitude towards the scientist’ work?

A. Critical. B. Doubtful.

C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.

【3】The Third paragraph is mainly about ________?

A. how to examine DNA of an animal

B. why DNA is unique to every person

C. the improvement of DNA technique

D. how DNA technique helps the police

【4】When the police find poached animal parts, the first thing they want to know is ________.

A. who killed the animals

B. when the crime happened

C. what species they belong to

D. where the animals come from
