28、Buildings can become greener. They can use more recycled steel and can be built in off-site factories,greatly reducing lorry journeys. But no other building material has environmental credentials(认证)as exciting and overlooked as wood.
The energy required to produce a laminated(复合的)wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. As trees take carbon out of the atmosphere when growing,wooden buildings contribute to negative emissions by storing the stuff. When a mature tree is cut down,a new one can be planted to replace it,capturing more carbon. After buildings are pulled down,old beams and panels are easy to recycle into new structures. And for improving older buildings to be more energy efficient,wood is a good insulator(绝缘体),A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium one.
A race is on to build the world's tallest fully wooden skyscraper. But such buildings are still uncommon. Industry disunity,cut-throat competition for contracts and low profit margins(差额)mean that most building firms have little money for greener construction methods beyond what regulation requires
Governments can help urge the industry to use more wood,particularly in the public section. That would help wood-building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs. Zero-carbon building regulations should be changed to take account of the emissions that exist in materials. This would favour wood as well as novel ways of producing other materials.
Construction codes could be adjusted to make building with wood easier. Here the direction of travel is wrong. Britain,for instance,is banning the use of wood on the outside of tall buildings after 72 people died in a tower fire in London in 2017.That is a nonsense. Grenfell Tower was covered in aluminium and plastic,not wood. Modern cross-laminated wood panels perform better in fire tests than steel ones do.
Carpentry alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world's buildings into line.
【1】What's the text mainly about?
A.Wood is the first choice for green buildings.
B.The public section makes good use of wood.
C.Building companies cannot afford greener construction.
D.Steel can reduce the environmental costs of buildings.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 focus on?
A.Origins of wood structures.
B.Advantages of wood for building.
C.Reasons for green window frames.
D.Differences between steel and wood
【3】Which of the following will discourage greener construction?
A.The races of wooden skyscrapers.
B.Strict regulations on materials.
C.The push of the government.
D.Fierce industry competition.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Wood is to blame for a big building fire.
B.Britain will lift the ban of using wood on the outside wall.
C.Building with wood is facing an unfavorable situation.
D.The environmental costs of buildings rely on carpentry.
29、 Millions of people suffer from motion sickness (晕动症).They have a lot of activities they fear. They often avoid doing these activities which include long-distance airplane travel, sea-trips, road-trips,even certain movies and video games. However, the French company Boarding Ring promises that it has its way to solve the problem, as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses!
Why do many people suffer from motion sickness? It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts. For example, when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus, your inner ear realizes the move but your eyes, focused on the screen, think you don’t move.
Boarding Glasses tries to ease (减轻)motion sickness by making the user’s eyes and ears transmit the same message. After the brain receives the same message, it will think you are in a moving environment. Though that sounds difficult, the science behind the glasses is surprisingly simple. The plastic frames (框架),made up of two round frames on the front and two on the side, are filled with some blue liquid. Any movement can cause the liquid to flow around the eyes. This allows the eyes to sense the move and send the correct signal to the brain.
According to Antoine Jeannin, CEO of Boarding Ring, Boarding Glasses has been tested. The CEO said that over 95 percent of the users felt better after wearing the glasses. The best part is that Boarding Glasses only has a frame» so a single pair can be worn among a group of friends, or even an entire family!
【1】Why do some people suffer from motion sickness according to the passage?
A.Their eyes can’t see the move.
B.Their bodies are in a bad condition.
C.Their ears can’t hear in a moving environment.
D.Their brains can’t deal with mixed signals from body parts.
【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The shortcomings of Boarding Glasses.
B.The design for Boarding Glasses’ future.
C.The working principle of Boarding Glasses.
D.The response of people wearing Boarding Glasses.
【3】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Boarding Glasses Promises to Ease Motion Sickness
B.Why Do People Dislike Motion Sickness
C.Why Do People Suffer from Motion Sickness
D.Boarding Glasses Can Make You See the World Clearly

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.
The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.
It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.
Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often 【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.
Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.
35、根据句意填空
In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true. In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.
36、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.
37、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.
"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.
Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.
"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

40、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。
It was Saturday afternoon. Martin and his sister Pam were looking at the beautiful old buildings of Cambridge for the day. Pam had a camera with her. She likes taking photos.
“Let’s have a last photo of you,” said Pam. “It’s the last one. I want to finish the film in my camera.”
“Oh, all right,” said Martin. He stood in front of the flowers.
“Look at me.” Said Pam and took a photo. A man with a big rucksack(背包) and a tent on his back walked between Pam and Martin.
“Oh no,” said Pam. “Now I’ve got a picture of that man, not of you, Martin.”
The man looked at Pam. He was angry. He went across the road without a word.
“That man isn’t very nice, is he?” said Martin.
“No,” said Pam. The man with the rucksack on his back went into the bus station. He had got sunglasses and a blue hat.
“Come on,” said Martin. “Let’s find our bus.”
They went into the bus station. “Look,” said Martin. “There’s that man again. He’s getting into that bus. He’s going to Aberdeen. That’s in Scotland.”
“Good,” said Pam. “Far from here and far from me!”
Three days later, Pam had got her photos from the shop. “Look at these photos of us in Cambridge,” she said to Martin. “They are all very good but this last one. Look, it’s that man with the rucksack.”
“Wait a minute,” said Martin. “I know that face. It’s in the newspaper. Have you got it?”
“Today’s newspaper?” said Pam. “Yes, it’s here. Why?”
“Yes, here he is. Look at this picture,” said Martin.
Pam looked at the picture in the newspaper. “Who’s that?” she asked.
“It says in the paper that his name is Alan Rook,” said Martin. “And he works in a bank in London. But on Monday morning - no Alan Rook! The people at the bank don’t know where he is. And they say he’s got a hundred thousand pounds with him. The police are looking for him, too.”
“Come on,” said Martin. “Let’s take the photo and the newspaper to the police.”
