But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the _37_that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to _38_ .Back in 1984, we discovered that most products for decoration werent designed for _39

21、_use. The “energy-efficient” commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s _40_crisis showed indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So far 20 years, weve been _41_ on these materials down to the molecules(分子), looking for ways to make them _42_for

As a matter of _48_, the worlds largest carpet manufacturer has already _49_ a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.Look at it this way: No one _50_ out to create a building that de

29、n with polio (小儿麻痹)as a child. As a result, he wears races (辊道、轮槽)on both legs and walks with the aid of crutches（拐杖）. At concerts, getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair. He lays his crutches on the floor, slowly undoes the clasps(扣环

30、)on his legs, puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin(下巴), nods to the conductor, and starts to play. One fall evening in 1995, while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City, Perlman had t

31、o deal with one additional trouble. Jack Reimer, a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle, described the scene. “Just as he finished the first few bars（高低音）, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sou

32、nd meant.” There was no mistaking what he had to do. People who were there said, “We figured he would have to get up.to either find another violin or find another string for this one.” But he didnt. Instead he waited a moment, closed his eyes, and then signaled the conductor to begin again .The band

33、 and he played from where he had left off. He played with enthusiasm and power. Of course, it is important to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him modulate(调音), change, recompose the piece in his head. At one point, it s

34、ounded like he was turning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.56.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Its a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage. B. Its not easy for Perlman to get on the stage. C. Perlman has achieved great success on the stag

35、e. D. Perlman has small achievements on the stage.57. How did the string break? A. It only broke by accident. B. Perlman broke the string because he was too excited. C.A gunfire from somewhere in the room broke it. D. It was broken by the few bars.58. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that

36、Perlman_. A. pretended not to known that the string was broken. B. thought nothing was impossible C. was a very proud man D. showed his self-confidence in time of troubleBDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important

37、information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. W

38、e then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Some poli

39、ticians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statemen

40、t would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs. Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patien

41、ts to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 59. We may infer that the author belie

42、ves people should _. A. buy lottery tickets if possible B. make use of half-truths C. be careful about what they are told D. not trust the Yucky Company60. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Using half truths is against the law. B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.

43、C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache. D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.61. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Hes really a big loser! B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths. D. Its a

44、gainst the law to make false statements.C Dave Bruno works as an online marketing manager. Several years ago, one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house cleanup and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store. “After all were done, I looked around and realized tha

45、t I still had too much stuff”，says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100 Thing Challenge（挑战）”. With the goal of breaking free of what he calls

46、 a “bad habit of consumerism”，Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessions to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not join in

47、family-shared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks. Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regain

48、ed My Soul. Since completing the experiment, Bruno has continued to live by the motto: reduce, refuse, and rearrange and maintains just 110 personal things. “ Nearly three years of living with a minimal（最少的）amount of personal possessions, Im no longer in the habit of consuming (消费) for the sake of c

49、onsumption，” he wrote in his blog last week, “That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors than shoppinglike spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.” Brunos project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thi

50、ng Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisingly easy” says Bruno, “Im not saying there were no challenges or disappointments. I miss some things, but not that much. Frankly, its far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.”62.What does t

51、he underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? A. Bruno regretted to have an easy life. B. Bruno had a special behavior in reality. C. Bruno and his family led a happy life. D. Bruno would have liked a life with fewer items.63.The things were included in Brunos 94 items EXCEPT _. A. socks B. a Bible C.

52、 cookers D. a wedding ring64. It can be inferred in the last paragraph that _. A. it is less possible for people to live simply. B. Bruno met some difficulties in the experiment. C. many people were inspired to update their blogs. D. The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisingly easy.6

53、5. What can we learn from the passage? A. Bruno hasnt blogged for a long time. B. Unneeded things should be thrown away.C. Bruno has succeeded in the experiment. D. The family show interest in the experiment.66. What is the best title for the passage? A. Live with 100 Things B. Defeat 100 Challenges

54、 in LifeC. Survive by Your MottoD. Consume for Consumptions Sake(D)Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according t

55、o an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are t

56、aught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). Fo

57、r example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize tha

58、t conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down, as rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand

59、, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or

60、 her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Quarrels dont mean trying to figure out wh

61、ats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themse

62、lves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that d

63、oesnt mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operat

64、ion; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.67. This article

65、is mainly about _. A. how to deal with school conflicts B. the cause of arguments in schools C. how to analyze youth violence D. the lives of school children68. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5? A. To find out who is to blame. B. To get ready to try new thin

66、gs. C. To make clear what the real issue is. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.69. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that _. A. there was a decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroom C. more teachers fel

Thanks to this instructive activity, we have raised awareness of protecting water resource and realized the importance of saving water. Also, we have learnt to take effective measures to prevent the rivers from being polluted. And hopefully, we have learnt to develop the habit of making good use of water and never wasting a drop of water from now on
