27、   Green living has become more important than ever and as time goes by,it will only become a more important issue.While it used to roe a matter of making an extra effort to save energy and reduce waste in our homes,this has extended to the professional side of things since.Public buildings,such as schools,hospitals and offices,are under an increasing amount of pressure to make the change and go green,even if it's just a step-by-step process that takes a few years to complete.

There are plenty of reasons for offices to go green and these reasons go beyond the concept that it should be done just for the sake of the environment.While the environment is unbelievable important and vital to our survival and quality of life,sustainable（可持续的）office design can also have positive impacts upon employees and people using the building.

For example,a report carried out last September revealed that the way an office is designed can significantly impact on the health of the staff there.It was also found to have an effect on productivity and could be a contributory（起作用的）factor to the amount of sick leave and staff turnaround within the business.It's fascinating to think that people can be so sensitive to their environments but it also makes a lot of sense.Even the choice of colour in your office can negatively or positively affect the people working there.

Based on this study,it is clear that companies should be making more efforts to improve on the office design while making sure the environment is sustainable and green.There are various little changes that can be made to lead to something bigger,from making sure the lights are turned off at night to recycling the paper your company gets through on a weekly basis.Once these changes are in place,you can start looking at the bigger picture and begin complete changes to design and construction,like having wood fibre insulation（绝缘）fitted.

Along with other sustainable features,insulation can be beneficial in various ways.Not only will an insulated office space be environmentally sound by helping you to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer,reducing the reliance on the thermostat（恒温器）and central heating and saving money,but it can also be an effective form of sound absorption.The study revealed that noise is a contributory factor to productivity problems,and if you work in a particularly busy area,then noise can become a real issue.The aim is to create an environment that is comfortable and calm enough for people to concentrate and work productively.Soundproof walls are an effective and environmentally friendly solution.

28、   Your next car might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way.Last month,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.

Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.

Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent.That's big—the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.

On the other hand,driverless cars will cause problems.Over the next 20 years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Traditional carmakers are especially scared.The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imagine Germany,where automobile making is the largest industry.

Dramatic changes are coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.Now what about the driverless cars?

【1】The underlined phrase "be huddled with" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with " ".

A. turn up B. make up for

C. exist together D. take over

【2】Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions because .

A. they will reduce the number of cars

A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed.

C. Negative. D. Objective.

【4】What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020.

B. Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars.

C. Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars.

D. Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing.

29、   For its critics, the arrival of the London Underground marked the moment the capital got into a messy state. The idea of an underground train had first been formed in the 1840s and one of the leading advocates was Londoner Charles Pearson, but work did not begin on what became the Metropolitan Railway until 1860.

What critics called “the Drain” was not universally popular. Some warned that the tunnels (隧道) would fall apart under the weight of the houses above; others thought an underground railway so terrible that criminals should be forced to take round trips. And the construction work angered the locals. “London would lose its charm forever with this ugly project,” one said.

But by January 1863, the first trains were ready to roll. On Friday 9 January, a special train packed with politicians made the first journey—though the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, refused to join then, explaining that at 78, he wanted to spend as much time above ground as possible. All went well, and the next day, Saturday 10 January, it opened to the public.

To general astonishment, the capital’s new Underground proved a great success. On that first day alone, 38,000 people walked deep down into the earth to ride between Farringdon Street and Bishop’s Road, Paddington. The carriages were divided into three classes and lit by gas; as one pleasantly surprised passenger put it, they were “so large that a man who is six feet tall may stand up straight with his hat on”.

“For the first time in the history of the world,” said The Daily News, “men can travel in pleasant carriages, and with great comfort, lower down than gas pipes and water pipes.”

【1】What did Charles Pearson do?

A.He designed the Metropolitan Railway.

B.He showed his dissatisfaction with London.

C.He built a part of the London Underground.

D.He supported building the London Underground.

【2】Why were people against the London Underground in the beginning?

A.Criminals did most of the construction work.

B.It provided single trips instead of return trips.

C.It was too new to be readily accepted by the public.

D.Lots of accidents happened in tunnels universally.

【3】How was the politicians’ underground ride in 1863?

A.It was smooth. B.It was lots of fun.

C.It was quite frightening. D.It was totally disorganized.

【4】What was the right description of the first underground train?

A.Its height was exactly six feet.

B.Its lights were powered by electricity.

C.Its floors had lots of gas pipes and water pipes.

D.Its carriages were more comfortable than expected.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

  It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

  But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?

  A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

  We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

  But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

  They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

  Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

  【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A Vacation with My Mother

I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother---loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.

My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.

David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids?” “What?! Oh, Gosh…I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.

On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.
