When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down and __48__ them with greener versions.

And it would take an average of 65 years for the __49__ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U.

Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from __55__ ones like Lincoln＇s Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help __56__ property owners from rising power costs. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

These include avian flu (禽流感) and influenza in humans.The first 52 of SARS were discovered in Guangdong province, in southern China, in November of 2002. SARS was not 53 as a worldwide threat until March of 2003. The disease spread to 26 countries, mostof them in the Asia-Pacific area. An estimated 8, 000 people had SARS. More than 770 of them died, or about10% , a 54 high rate.The World Health Organization warned people not to travel to 55 areas. The 56 hurt international travel and business. The WHO says the disease stopped spreading by July of 2003. As a result of SARS, the health agency got new powers to act before a government officially announces a crisis.A) means F) associates K) optimisticallyB) alternative G) major L) identifiedC ) attaches H) awful M) interferesD) crisis I) relatively N) distributedE) cases J) findings O) affected（4）To call something “marginal” means it is not very good. Farmers have their own way to 47 marginal land: It is the last to be planted under good conditions, and has the 48 to be avoided under poor conditions. Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply.There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent51 for grazing (吃草) animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one fieldto another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧) which is extremely important for marginal land.Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine (火炬松) are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar (白杨), found in many parts of the world.Failure to take the care needed to protect marginal lands can make a bad situation worse. But good planning can 56 a marginal resource into a highly productive one.A) feed F) define K) nativeB) priority G) adequate L) revealedC) transplant H) transform M) prejudiceD) effective I) discouraging N) hazardE) limited J ) quality O) recoveredChina is casting such a huge shadow on the United States that many Americans are trying hard to learn the Chinese language with an effort to keep their competitive edge."Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown 47 in the past five years," said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society, a US group trying to bridge the 48 between Americans and the peoples of Asia and the Pacific.China's rapid progress is driving the interest to 49 the language, experts say. "The Chinese rich cultural traditions and 50 economy mean that it is now essential for all of our students to be better prepared to engage them and seize opportunities together," said Michael Levine, Asia Society' s executive director of education.A2004 College Board survey found that 2,400 high schools--an 51 number--would be interested in 52 the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006.China, the world' s most populous ( 人口稠密的) nation, is 53 to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. It has 54 the United States as the world's largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, in the next two to three decades.Even though the US State Department has regarded the Chinese language extremely important to national prosperity , the" 55 conditions to support recruitment of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is 56 inadequate," an Asia Society study says.A) thriving F) replaced K) gapB) automatically G) pursue L) scarcelyC) dramatically H) request M) currentD) important I) incredible N) offeringE) regained J) efficient O) discouragingly（6）Can money buy happiness? Y es, 47 the authors of a new study---but only to a point.Psychology has shown that richer people generally rank the overall quality of their lives more 48 than poorer people do. At the same time, their actual happiness seems to be 49 less by their ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group."Our findings point to the possibility that, rather than promoting overall happiness, continued income growth could 50 an ongoing consumption race where people have to consume more and more, just to maintain a 51 level of happiness," writes Glenn Firebaugh of Pennsylvania State University.The study was 52 at the American Sociological Association's 100th Annual Meeting. Whether the rich are happier as a whole than their less 53 fellows is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate. Recent years have 54 many writings on the "science of happiness." Richer people are happier because money can help purchase goods and services and it is the 55 of these materials that increases one's enjoyment of life and one's sense of well-being. Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family income, and general happiness of 56 aged 20 to 64, generally considered the working lifespan (工作寿命) for most Americans.Regardless of such standards as physical health, education, and marital status (婚姻状况), people's happiness was affected by what others earned. The higher the income of others in one's age group, the lower one's happiness.A) constant F) consumption K) witnessedB) wealthy G) consequently L) rejectedC) claim H) implement M) individualsD) deny I) automatic N) favorablyE) motivated J) presented O) challengingKitchen duties may have traditionally been viewed as women’s work, but not at the WhiteHouse.

For 50 , children who had televisions in their bedrooms--and 51 watched more TV--scored lower on standardized tests than those who did not have sets in their rooms. In contrast, the study found having a home computer with52 to the Intemet resulted in comparatively higher test scores."Consistently, those with a bedroom television but no 53 home computer had, on average, the lowest scores and those with home computer but no bedroom television had the highest scores," wrote study author Dina Borzekowski of Johns Hopkins University.
