32、ng Project can be found at _.A. B. C. newtowner.org.uk D. towner.org.uk BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassmentIn Mrs. Tottens eighth-grade math class
33、 at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked
34、 up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the zxxk front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it
35、was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning
36、of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldnt function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer Id got for problem No. 14. “II didnt get anything,” I answered，and my face fel
37、t warm. “Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isnt always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day
38、that taught me the most, it would be that one.56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value ones time. B. It is important to make an effortC.

An Effective Approach D. A Valuable Lesson CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路
42、)in life that by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest
43、easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He
44、 was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found my self on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We
45、 took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass
46、. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freewayHere was life. And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew bra
47、ve with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by neces
48、sity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to any on adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.61.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home?A.

To let them cool down65.What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the Detour B. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of Necessity D. Road trip and Country
52、 Life DThe behaviour of a buildings users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new
53、homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their
54、 homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，consumption patterns of buildin
55、g users can defeat the most careful design. In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers dont have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，its hard to esti
56、mate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈） facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up
57、 to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individualsbehaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Jand
58、a argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of_.A. zero-carbon homes B. the behaviour of building usersC. sustainable building design D.
59、 the reduction of carbon emissions67. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_.”A. the ways B. their homesC. developments D. existing efforts68.What are Katy Jandas words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building des
60、ign.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency. 69.The information gap in energy use _. A. can be bridged by feedback facilities B. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart meters D.will be caused by
61、 building users old habits70.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A.The social science research is to be furthered.B.The education programme is under discussion.C.The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.D.The behaviour preference of building users is similar.表达（1
62、0） Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldnt wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for
63、 the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.One day. a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hund
64、red signatures (签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him.At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会)，the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happe
65、ning to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later，the developer stopped his plan.Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was
66、informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in
67、and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land，and are still there today.71.
