10、 fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been w
11、idely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock(家禽). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help t
12、o heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses,where people live in. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the f
13、act that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in theseareas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the wa
14、rm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using moderntechnology. And someday in the future, people wi
15、ll be able to live in more energy-saving houses.21. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The fashions for their houses.C. The energy for their houses.D. The building materials for their houses.22. The underlined words “natural law” in
16、the third paragraph refer to the fact that .A. heat goes in the upward directionB. heat raises the temperature in the housesC. heat goes up if temperature is raisedD. heat increases the temperature of rocks23. From the passage, we can conclude that .A. people will no longer consider building materia
17、ls in the futureB. energy- saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyBI think that I always knew I wanted to become an artist. I cant remember a time w
18、hen I wasnt drawing or painting pictures. My oldest sister and my brother were artistic, and watching them draw fascinated me. They had many different art supplies around the house. Boxes of pastels, little ink bottles and pens were very appealing.My parents and friends soon saw that I had more than
19、 a passing interest in art. It came to define much of my image. Relatives gave me art-related birthday gifts. At school I became “the kid who could draw,” a unique distinction, like “brainiest” or “best athlete”.As I got a little older, I began copying pictures: cartoons, comic books, and magazineil
20、lustrations.My third-grade class wrote essays on what we wanted to be when we grew up. To me it was obvious. We read them aloud, and I told about the types of paintings I would some day try. Id have turtles with paintbrushes tied to their backs walking around on a big sheet of paper. Or Id fill squi
21、rt guns with different colored paints and shoot at the canvas. I actually tried this with friends! Well, it sounded like a good idea.One of the only discouraging childhood experiences about my artwork happened in the fourth grade. During study time I was drawing a picture. My teacher took it away an
22、d wrote an angry note home to my mother. “David would rather be drawing pictures than doing his work!” I couldnt believe it, three exclamation points. School “art classes” were pretty uninspiring. Art never seemed to be taken as seriously as other subjects.In the eighth grade, a big career day was h
23、eld. Months before, we wrote suggestions for careers we wanted to hear about. On the big day, guest speakers from many fields came to talk, but there wasnt one that came close to an art-related field.In high school it actually sank in that I was going to be an artist. I already knew. Id always known
24、. My parents were excited about my choice, too. As I looked into art schools, I felt like doors were being thrown wide open. Until then my art was a private thing, but at art school I found a place where everyone as “the kid who could draw.”24. The author became interested in art because of .A. his
25、parents wishB. some schools appealC. his family members influenceD. some experts suggestion25. In the fourth grade, the author .A. began copying picturesB. drew with squirt gunsC. was discouraged by the teacherD. got suggestions from guest speakers26.

26、uthor .A. thanked his parents very muchB. went into a new world of artC. was still the only kid who could drawD. stopped learning art finally27. The story inspires people to .A. stick to their dreamsB. treasure what they haveC. obey the natural rulesD. choose their career earlierCPeople tend to beco
27、me more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this q
28、uestion: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Intern
29、et as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where the
30、y used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it bec
31、omes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to comm
32、unicate. Now the samekind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you dont know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than y
33、ou wanted to.”28. The subject discussed in this passage is .A. how people open up when emailingB. how people do research studiesC. how to communicate at workD. how to discuss and solve a problem29. The reason why the students talked freely about themselves over the Internet is that .A. they didnt ta
34、lk about very personal thingsB. they couldnt see each otherC. the cameras on the computers were turned onD. they had to discuss a question30. What does the underlined sentence refer to?A. The telegraph.B. The computer.C. Emailing.D. Face-to-face talk.31. According to the last paragraph, one should .
35、A. focus on oneself when emailingB. talk more freely in emails than usualC. discuss any subject that one wants toD. consider how one uses email at workDFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship forgranted（认为理所当然）, we often dont clearly understand how to make fr
36、iends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy（亲密
37、）between them and the reasons for their shared interestsvary（变化）greatly. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race,economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors（因素）are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when
38、there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to
39、 reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.In contrast（比较）with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen theassociation（友谊
40、）between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers（障碍）of age, class or race.32. According to the passage, .A. friends are
41、those who must share their interestsB. friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC. all the people know how to make friendsD. every student has six friends33. We can learn from the passage that .A. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipB. friendship can overcome
42、 all differences between two peopleC. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices34. Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A. Even friends may have different opinions.B. Someones habits may annoy his friends.C. It g
43、enerally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Friends never argue with each other.35. When people talk about “being on the same wavelength”, they mean that they .A. have the same backgroundB. watch the same TV programsC. are the same in all waysD. share the same way of thinking and the s

Were used to seeing ads in newspapers and on television. In recent years, a new type of ad strategy viral
45、 marketing (病毒性营销) has become popular. It uses the Internet to spread information about a product or service.The idea of viral marketing is the word of mouth effect, that is, to get people torecommend(推荐，介绍) a product to others. On the Internet, that can be done by email messages. Or, the informatio
46、n may be posted on forums, blogs, and other websites.Advertisers cant force people to spread their message. So, they must think of creative ways to get people to help out. One good way is to give something away. For example, when somebody sends an email using a Hotmail account, theres an ad on the b
47、ottom. It tells others how to get a free account. Other companies give away branded screensavers, wallpaper, and sounds. Whenever theyre seen or shared, it advertises the product.Another way is funny and interesting videos. When someone comes across a great ad for BMW, they may send a link to their
48、friends. They may even add the video to a forum or blog. Companies love the effect. It gets more people to watch their ads, visit their websites, and hopefully, buy their products.Unfortunately, its hard to plan viral marketing activities. There are many ads and websites on the Internet. So, designe
49、rs and marketers must think up creative new strategies. If something is funny, interesting, or useful enough, people will tell their friends about it.
