17、ollege. They were, for the most part, friendly and competent, willing to help students. I liked thembut I dont remember them very well, except for Mr. Jones, my senior English teacher.Put precariously(不牢靠地) on his nose, his glasses gave him a serious look. But they didnt remain there long, for he wa
18、s always taking them off and polishing them and putting them in his mouth when he thought over a response to a students question. When he walked into class, he was always carrying two or there books with strips of paper sticking out of them, marking passages he planned to read. I remember, too, the
19、cardigan sweatershe must have had a dozen of them. But what I remember best was his smile. When he smiled, his whole face lit up. His smile made you feel good, and at ease.Yet though he was friendly with people, he could be firm on occasion. He obviously loved his work and liked his students, but he
20、 kept his distance. He never deliberately embarrassed a student in front of the class with an ironic remark, but he could communicate his displeasure all right. Hed look steadily at the offending student for a few seconds. That was usually enough, but if it didnt work, hed say something to the stude
21、nt in a lowered tone of voice. He didnt do this often, though.Mr. Jones personality and passion made him popular, but what I liked most about him was that he was a fine teacher. Yes, he cared about students, but he cared more about teaching them his subject.We had many interesting discussions about
22、Crane, and Dreiser, as I recall, but his favorite period was the 1920s. He loved the expatriates(旅居海外的人): Anderson, Cummings, Hemingway, Fitzgerald. He was always bringing in books for us to read, but when he got to this period, he was a walking library. I think hed read every book ever written by o
23、r about Hemingway and Fitzgerald in the twenties. Yes, Mr. Jones was a fine teacher all right: he knew his subject.

27、inary family homes in the U. S. and the rest of the world are not energy-efficient.Most of their energy goes to heating and cooling, and a lot of it is wasted, as warm air and cool air escape through fireplace chimneys and thin or poorly fitting windows and doors. A passive house loses almost none.
28、“Imagine a thermos(保温瓶),” said housing developer Brendan ONeill. “You have insulation(隔绝) everywhere, and its basically completely sealed. And so the idea is to build a house like a thermos. So the windows are sealed. Theres insulation completely surrounding the building. We make it as sealed as pos
29、sible.”A 147-square-meter passive house, presented by ONeill Development Crop. As a demonstration unit just outside Washington, was brought to the site in two boxes. “Once its set and put together, it takes about four weeks to complete the outside construction, to put down carpets,” ONeill said. “If
30、 everything is set in place, you put a house like this together in about four months.” The total cost of building it was $325,000, or about 17 percent more than constructing an ordinary house. But its utility(公用事业) bill is only around $20 monthly, or one-tenth the amount for the average house of the
31、 same size.While passive houses have been around for a long time, the idea has never taken root in the U.S. There was no driving force to push it.However, David Peabody, an architect who designs passive houses said, “I think climate change is now becoming a larger issue. And I think building standar
32、ds are catching on to that. So people are becoming more aware of energy.” Peabody said the cost of building passive houses could come down. “What really makes sense for truly affordable housing,” he said, “is to build multi-storey buildings.” 28. Why arent ordinary family homes energy-efficient?A. B
33、uilding them wastes much energy.B. Their energy mainly goes to heating and cooling.C. Their sealing performance is poor.D. They have no insulation around at all.29. What is the feature of a passive house?A. Therere no windows or chimneys.B. Theres little space to place furniture.C. Its building cost
34、 is relatively high.D. It takes about four weeks to build one.30. How are passive houses in the U.S. now?A. They enjoy little popularity.B. Multi-storey ones are common.C. Building passive houses is impractical.D. Their advantages are still unclear.31. Whats David Peabodys attitude to the future of
35、the passive house?A. Cautious.B. Optimistic.C. Skeptical.D. Concerned. (D)Plastic bags havent always been Public Enemy No.1. Introduced in 1982,they soon occupied the grocery bag market. By 1996, 80 percent of all bags were made from lightweight plastics. Customers loved them. They became thinner, l
36、ighter and able to contain more materials conveniently.That restricting the distribution of plastic bags will have significant environmental benefits and reduce costs is mostly untrue. Banning plastic bags wont make litter disappear, reduce litter removal costs, or save innocent animals. Plastic bag
37、s are found to be a tiny part of all litter, so banning them has very little impact on the amount of litter generated. Theres no evidence that banning plastic bags reduced littler removal costs, and it wont do much in the way of reducing trash collection costs, either.In the sea, the impact may be e
38、ven smaller. Plastic bags have not caused a giant landfill(废弃物填埋场). Sure, plastics in the oceans have increased over the past four decades. Yet the idea that this has resulted in a big landfill at sea is contradicted by the evidence, which shows that most plastics in the oceans are widely dispersed(
39、分散) and in the form of tiny pieces.Surveys suggest that most people reuse their lightweight plastic bags, mainly for trash disposal, and on average each one is used 1.6 times. By contrast, paper bags are typically used only once. The thicker plastic bags now being promoted as “reusable”, are typical
40、ly used about 3.1 times.It is unwise to introduce restrictions on the distribution of plastic bags, which is likely to result in an increase in the overall environmental impact of the bags we use to shop, not to mention that reusable bags are kind of disgusting, from the public health perspective. P
41、utting food into bags that have previously been used to carry perishable(易腐烂的) items may cause a health risk.32. The reason why plastic bags are popular with customers is that .A. they are easy to carryB. they are the only choiceC. they are cheap and affordableD. they are available in groceries 33.
42、Why does the author say banning plastic bags makes no difference to the quantity of litter?A. Because plastic bags take up a small part of the whole litter.B. Because banning plastic bags has increased litter removal costs.C. Because banning plastic bags wont necessarily make litter disappear.D. Bec
43、ause the banning of plastic bags hasnt any environmental benefits.34. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 implies that.A. most of the plastics can be well recycled at seaB. whether plastics gather at sea is controversialC. actually plastics dont lead to large landfills at seaD. no evidence shows that
44、 plastics harm the sea35. What is the authors attitude towards the use of plastic bags?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Critical.D. Supportive. 第二节：七选五The college interview was once an important part of the college admission process. Young men dressed up in jackets and ties, young women wore short heels a
45、nd pearls. 36 So, if you have the opportunity, here are some tips to help you.Educate yourself about the school. The biggest downfall for most students is that they havent done their homework by preparing for the interview. 37 The most common ones go like: what do you think youd like to major in, wh
46、y would you like to major in it Students need to make sure responses arent general, like “Im looking forward to attending the football games.”Every question is an opportunity to share a slice of your life. Take a look at your resume or brag sheet. 38 Spend time on the college website and make sure y
47、oure able to answer the “fit” question. But resist the temptation to overshare.Think of questions to ask the interviewer ahead of time. 39 When they ask, “Is there anything youd like to ask me or anything that I didnt ask you and that youd like me to know about you” the only unacceptable response to
48、 this question is “NO”. 40 students may not like it, but there is no question that its the right thing to do. It tells interviewers that you go out of your way to sit down and write “just to them”, because theyre “worth it”.A. Students can prepare some possible questions.B. Send a handwritten thank-
49、you note afterward.C. All interviewers will end the session with a question.D. Offer some help to the freshman in the college interview.E.
