阅读理解
Passage One
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Buildings account for 65 percent of total U. S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural re- sources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests or other wild habitats(栖息地).
Marty Dettling is a project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green residential high-rise building. According to Dealing, "We've reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent.
Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. "It's going to be big," she said.
第11题：
What does green building refer to nowadays?
A.Buildings painted by green hands.
B.Buildings covered with green plants.
C.Buildings that are environmentally-friendly.
D.Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.
参考答案：C
答案解析：
本道题的依据句是文章的第二句话。

C项选择的用词和意思与依据句相同。

A和B项选择的信息文章中没有出现，D项选择的错误在于缺少“green”一词的概念。

第12题：
The word "Also" (Line 2, Paragraph 2) is used to ______.
A.continue the discussion of total U. S. electricity use
B.expand the topic of reduction of energy and water use
C.include the discussion of public transportation
D.shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection
参考答案：D
答案解析：
"also"是一个连词，引导一个并列的概念，与前面的句子相对应。

这两个句子的意思为：绿色建筑能够节能省水。

此外，绿色建筑紧挨公共汽车或地铁之类的公共交通线，住户可以少用自己的汽车。

这两个句子都是有关节能绿色建筑的不同方面，都与环境保护有关系，与本段第一句话的侧重点不同。

所以应该选择D。

第13题：
In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by______.
A.making use of developed land
B.developing new land
C.clearing the ground in a forest
D.draining wild habitats
参考答案：A
答案解析：
本题的依据句是第二段最后一个句子，关键词是on previously developed land，与A项选择的意思相同。

其他选择项的信息在文章中找不到依据，属于无关信息。

第14题：
Why are some people not so enthusiastic about green buildings?
A.Because they do not jump into green building.
B.Because they fail to move into a green building.
C.Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.
D.Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.
参考答案：C
答案解析：
本题的依据句是文章最后一段的第二个句子"Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources．”4项选择中，A和B选择的内容没有在文章中出现，属于无关信息。

C项选择的意思强调绿色建筑的运行成本高。

这一观点依据是：绿色环保的前期费用大大高于传统的节能方式，正好是本句话的意思。

D项选择说的是太阳能电池板的费用高，但这只是诸多因素的一个方面。

应注意features such as．．这一表达法的含义。

第15题：
What did Marty Dettling mean when she said, "It’s going to be big?"
A.Green buildings have a great potential.
B.People expect bigger green buildings.
C.Green buildings will be larger in size.
D.People prefer to live in bigger buildings.
参考答案：A
答案解析：
可以判断，green buildings will become common in the future与it's going to be big为同义句子。

所以，A项选择的“绿色建筑具有很大潜力”最接近依据句的意思。

其他选项的信息在文章中没有出现。

Passage Two
According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to
stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.
The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic(种族的) groups. What they have in common is poverty.
Currently in the U. S. , thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can't pay the rent with food stamps.
With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative. Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U. S. are teenagers and young children.
People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school.
The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs.
Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.
Job loss in today's economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people's homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with
inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.
第16题：
The writer thinks that the U. S. government's definition of the homeless reveals ______.
A.an insincere attitude toward the homeless
B.an unbearable attitude toward the homeless
C.an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless
D.an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless
参考答案：D
答案解析：
参见第一段：According to the United States government．．．that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem．按照美国政府的观点，……虽然从技术上是准确的，但是这应该是一个巨大的非个人的同情心问题。

在这里，human意思是“同情心”。

第17题：
The U. S. govermnent helps the homeless by ______.
A.giving them homeless allowances
B.giving them food stamps
C.finding jobs for them
D.finding residences for them
参考答案：B
答案解析：
我们可以从第三段"Currently in the U．S，Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help"中迅速找到答案：当前在美国，政府给无业者发放可领食物的票证。

第18题：
Most of the homeless in the U. S. are______.
A.male adults
B.female adults
C.the elderly
D.children
参考答案：A
答案解析：
本题从第五段Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population(虽然在无家可归的人群中男人占了最大部分)中找到答案。

第19题：
People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT ______.
A.the lack of adequate education
B.the abuse of alcohol and drugs
C.the closure of institutions for the mentally ill
D.the poor performance of economy
参考答案：D
答案解析：
从"there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common．They include a lack of adequate education and job skills．(有很多原因造成这样的情况，包括投有足够的教育背景和工作技能。

)可以判断A 不正确。

从“The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor．(滥用酒精和药物也是原因之一。

)”可以判断B不正确。

从“Some members of this population suffer mental health problems，Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent‘home’．Unforumately，a number of those people have no home to go(有些人是因为精神问题。

随着近年来许多这类机构的关门，很多精神病人被遣送回家，但是实际上他们无家可归)，”可以判断 C不正确。

第20题：
The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may ______.
A.lose his or her job in today's economy
B.be unable to look after the kids
C.not have enough income
D.find residence at a homeless shelter
参考答案：C
答案解析：
参见文章最后一句话：The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads．被分到需要照顾孩子的父母一方如果没有足够的收入只有依靠收容站了。

问题实际是把原文的最后一句换了一种说法，把forcelo换成 lead to，把inadequate income换成not have enough income。

Passage Three
American no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing, the Degradation of language and Music and why we should like, care, John Me Whorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960 scounter-eulture as responsible for the decline of formal English.
But the cult of the authentic and the personal, "doing our own thing", has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and
music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page- Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative gene is the only form that could claim real liveliness, in both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.
Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive—there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.
Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speak- ers. Mr. Me Whorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms—he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English "on paper plates instead of china". A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.
第21题：
According to Mc Whorter, the decline of formal English ______.
A.is inevitable in radical education reforms.
B.is but all too natural in language development.
C.has caused the controversy over the counter-culture.
D.brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s.
参考答案：B
答案解析：
文章第二段第二句中讲到，麦克沃特认为"whom"的消失是一种自然的现象，而"whom"的消失便是the decline of formal English的一个例子，B的意思是正式英语的没落在语言发展中只不过是非常自然的，与文意相符，所以B为答案，值得一提的是B中的but这里是副词，表示simply，only，merely的意思，如果将but理解为否定含义，则此题容易选错。

第22题：
The word "talking" (Line 5, Paragraph 2) denotes
A.modesty.
B.personality.
C.liveliness.
rmality.
参考答案：D
答案解析：
本段主要讲述了60年代以来不正式的英语取代了正式英语，并且从本句中也可以找到答案，从句子结构可以看出talking和spontaneity同义，speaking和craft同义，spontaneity是“自发，随意”的意思，所以talking指的是informality“不正式”，答案为D。

第23题：
To which of the following statements would Mc Whorter most likely agree?
A.Logical thinking is not necessarily related to the way we talk.
B.Black English can be more expressive than standard English.
C.Non standard varieties of human language are just as entertaining.
D.Of all the varieties, standard English Can best convey complex ideas.
参考答案：A
答案解析：
本题考查的是对文章第四段内容的理解，本段最后一句中谈到许多人认为由于我们谈话不准确，我们将不能有条理地思考，而麦克沃特则和他们不同，即，麦克沃特认为有逻辑的思考和说话方式没有必然关系，A项与此意相符，所以为答案。

B是对本段第三句话前半部分的误解，文中说所有种类的语言，包括像黑人英语，都具有强大的表达能力，而并没有对黑人英语和标准英语的表达能力进行比较；c是对本段第一句话的错误理解，句中的entertaining指的是一些例子有趣，并不是说不标准的语言有趣；D则是对第三句的误解，文中指出麦克沃特认为所有语言都具有强大的表达能力，世上不存在无法传达复杂思想的语言或方言，即所有的语言都可以传递复杂的思想，没有好坏之分，所以D是不对的。

第24题：
The description of Russians' love of memorizing poetry shows the author's ______.
A.interest in their language.
B.appreciation of their efforts.
C.admiration for their memory.
D.contempt for their old-fashionedness.
参考答案：B
答案解析：
本题应联系下文得出答案，本段首先提到了俄罗斯人喜欢记忆诗歌和意大利政治家喜欢做字斟句酌的演讲，这都是他们对使用正式语言所做出的努力。

第二句中转而又说麦克沃特认为正式语言并不是必要的，但他确实为语言中那些美丽但并非有用的部分的遗失而感到忧伤，这说明作者认为尽管一些语言的变化是自然的，但对他们的努力还是很欣赏的，所以答案为B。

文中并没有A和C的相关内容；
虽然本段第一句中出现了old-fashioned一词，但这只是一个客观的陈述，并没有蔑视的意思，并且和下文中的grieving矛盾。

第25题：
According to the last paragraph, "paper plates" is to "china" as
______.
A."temporary" is to "permanent".
B."radical" is to "conservative".
C."functional" is to "artistic".
D."humble" is to "noble".
参考答案：C
答案解析：
此题属于细节题，在做此题时我们应该先把错误的选项排除。

A是错误地从字面意思理解了纸盘子和瓷盘子，认为一个使用的时间短，另一个则用得长久些，而没有联系上下文；B只是片面地抓住了文中出现的radical和conservative这两个词，而没有深入理解，radical在本段第二句中出现是形容教育改革的，conservative一词出现在第一段第三句中用来说明麦克沃特观点的，这两个词均与纸盘子和瓷盘子无关；D也是从纸盘子和瓷盘子字面意思联想到的想当然的结论。

所以答案为C。

Passage Four
As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for progressive magazine had discovered bow to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm(火器) fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.
"The Constitution," said the associationes spokesman, "gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn't spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydmgen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect theraselves."
"Don't you think it's dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?"
"The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instrueting owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse(导火索) separately in a drawer."
"Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody."
The spokesman said, "Hydrogen bombs don't kill people--people kill people. The bomb is for selfpro-tection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuelear weapon in your house, they're going to think twice about breaking in."
"But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim
that if you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder(侵入者)."
"Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns."
第26题：
According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to______.
A.block any legislation to ban the private possession of the bomb
B.coordinate the mass production of the destructive weapon
C.instruct people how to keep the bomb safe at home
D.promote the large-scale sale of this newly invented weapon
参考答案：A
答案解析：
题于出现在第一段第二行，解题依据应该是“…they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop。

．．”，A项正是这个内容，lobby against对应block，stop对应ban，owning对应possession。

其他几项的意思分别是：B项“协调杀伤性武器的大批量制造”；C项“指导人们如何在家中安全放置炸弹”；D项“促进这种新发明武器的大规模销售”。

第27题：
Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that______.
A.the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawer
B.most people don't know how to handle the weapon
C.people's lives will be threatened by the weapon
D.they may fall into the hands of criminals
参考答案：C
答案解析：
在做此题时根据有二，第三段的“Don't you think it's dangerous to have one．．．”和第五段的“some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody．”从中不难看出 C项“人们的生命将受到威胁”应该是正确答案。

D项“它们可能会落人罪犯之手”这是想当然所致。

A， B两项也不符合文章意思。

第28题：
By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it______.
A.will frighten away any possible intruders
B.can show the special status of its owners
C.will threaten the safety of the owners as well
D.can kill those entering others houses by force
参考答案：A
答案解析：
题干出现在第六段第二行，随后一句话就是发言人的解释，也就是答案所在。

A 项“将把任何可能的闯入者吓走”应该是合理的答案。

该题简单。

其他几项的意思分别是：B项“可以显示拥有者的特殊身份”；C项“将同样威胁氢弹拥有者的安全”；D项“可以用武力杀死闯入他宅的人”。

第29题：
According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are very much worried that
A.the influence of the association is too powerful for the less privileged to overcome
B.poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weapon
C.the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendously
D.the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis
参考答案：D
答案解析：
解答依据应该定位在文章最后一段。

这一段的大意是“反对私人拥有氢弹的另一种论点是就目前而言，制作一枚氢弹价格昂贵，所以你们协会支持的实际上是这样一种方案：允许上层和中产阶级拥有一枚氢弹，而穷人因只能拥有手枪将变得毫无防卫能力。

”据此，D项“核武器的成本将使公民处于不平等境地”是正确答案。

第30题：
From the tone of the passage we know that the author is ______.
A.doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safety
B.unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombs
C.not serious about the private ownership of H bombs
D.concerned about the spread of unclear weapons
参考答案：D
答案解析：
此题有一定难度，也有些争议，主要是A，D两项。

但笔者认为这是一篇新闻报道类文章，作者用大量篇幅引用了正反两方的观点，作者并没有明显表示自己的观点。

之所以对该事件报道说明作者非常关注，故D项应该是更合理的答案。

A 项“对家庭为了安全拥有氢弹的必要性抱有怀疑”稍过了些。

B项“对投票反对拥有氢弹的这些人感到不快”和C项“对私人拥有氢弹一事不是太当真”都可轻
易否定。

已给出的句子there is something说明是接受帮助，应该选择B，其意思为“好吧，既然你说了，我还真有点儿事请你帮忙。

”A和 C项选择的意思不正确。

D项选择不是常用表达法，
第43题：

B:______
A.How have you been?
B.Pleased to meet you,George.
C.Mind if I call you George?
D.The pleasure is mine.
参考答案：B
答案解析：
A把Albert Snow和George Smith两人介绍认识。

B是Albert，他会对George 说什么呢?A选项：“How have you been?"(你过得怎么样?)是对熟人说的话。

B 选项：“Pleased to meet you。

”是刚刚与人认识时说的话。

C选项："Mind if
l call you George?"不太适合语境；D选项：“The pleasure is mien”是对别人的感谢做出的回答。

第44题：

D.Of course. Go down this street and turn left.
参考答案：D
答案解析：
对话中A在问路，选项D表达合理，并向A指示了方向。

其余3个选项均没有指出路在哪里，而且B的表达语气不对，不是口语化的表达。

选项C意思是“我很忙，请走开”，态度很恶劣，不符合交际用语的习惯。
