21、We may not be aware of it, but ordinary 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."Imagine a thermos(保温瓶),"said housing developer Brendan O’Neill."You have insulation(隔绝) everywhere, and it’s basically completely sealed. And so the idea is to build a house like a thermos. So the windows are sealed. There’s insulation completely surrounding the building. We make it as sealed as possible."
A 147-square-meter passive house, presented by O’Neill Development Corp. as a demonstration unit just outside Washington, was brought to the site in two boxes. "Once it’s set and put together, it takes about four weeks to complete the outside construction, to put down carpets," O’Neill said. "If 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 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 standards 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."
【1】Why aren’t ordinary family homes energy-efficient?
A. Building 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.
【2】What is the feature of a passive house?
A. There’re no windows or chimneys.
B. There’s little space to place furniture.
C. Its building cost is relatively high.
D. It takes about four weeks to build one.
【3】What’s David Peabody’s attitude to the future of the passive house?
A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Skeptical. D. Concerned.
22、Children who are abused and neglected at home are more likely than their peers to do bully at school, to have behavior problems, to become victims of bullying and to hide their inner world, according to a report.
The first British overview of research on the relationship between how children are treated at home and how they behave at school proves that abuse has a “profound effect” on children’s performance in all aspects of school life.
The study includes the finding that mistreatment in the first five years of life almost triples a child’s possibility of having multiple physiological, behavioral and academic problems at school.
Children with special educational needs are more than seven times more likely than their classmates to suffer physical abuse and have almost the same chance of being neglected, according to the research.
The study also says that children who have spent a year or more in anxiety are more likely than their peers to have suffered mistreatment and are more likely to fail their GCSEs; 8% of youngsters in anxiety achieve god GCSEs, compared with a national average of more than 50%.
Although it is impossible to count precisely the numbers of children suffering abuse, often without either their school authorities or other services knowing the truth of their circumstances, one study found one in ten young British adults reported at least one serious abusive incident in their childhoods. The report calls on schools to address pupils’ problems “with a careful eye to the possibility of there being problems at home”, and suggests that this approach could lead to early identification of any abuse.
【1】Which of the following might abused children do?
A．Bullying their peers.
B．Fighting against others.
C．Neglecting what others’ do.
D．Hiding their thoughts from others.
【2】Who are most likely to be ignored according to the research?
A．Children failing their GCSE.
B．Children suffering physical abuse.
C．Children becoming victims of bullying.
D．Children with special educational needs.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．School abuse occurs frequently in British schools.
B．Schools should play a role in preventing home abuse.
C．The number of children suffering home abuse is accurate.
D．Most of British adults suffered serious abuse in childhood.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The performances of abused children.
B．The comparisons among abused children.
C．The profound effect of abuse on children.
D．The causes of mistreatment arising at home.
23、Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey.
75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive” effect on their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies "make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “do more to distract students than to help them academically.”Many students think “doing research” now means just doing a quick search on Google.
Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyist.
But one problem the survey found is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust(信任) too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.
Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem, at all, being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research, librarians.
Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.
【1】Most of the teachers might agree that .
A. the digital age only has had a good influence on teenagers.
B. digital search tools have had a positive effect on students’ research.
C. the digital age has had a bad influence on students’ study.
D. technologies can only distract students.
【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Google can do all the job for students.
B. Google helps students do research.
C. Students just use something they found online when doing research.
D. A quick search on Google means a success in research.
【3】Which of the following is NOT the disadvantages of digital age?
A. Online information may not be reliable.
B. Students can easily find the information they needs.
C. Copying work may arise among students.
D. Students won’t use their own abilities.

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A couple of years ago, just as I did every winter, I bagged up all the items in my closet that I no longer wore, along with the clothes my sons had outgrown. I made a call to action to all of my family and friends, asking them to do the same. It is always my hope to repurpose those things that do nothing more than take up space in our homes, things others might make better use of.
I found an old, ugly pair of hand-woven socks in one of the bags donated (捐赠) by a friend. They were an unpleasant mixture of colored yarn: orange, purple, yellow and blue. I had to decide— garbage or donation? It wasn't like they were unusable. I imagined they were a homemade gift gone bad.
I put the ugly socks in the garbage, but ten minutes later, I took them back and put them in the donation pile. Later that afternoon, my mother and I drove down to Madison Avenue in downtown Phoenix. Every winter we load up my Jeep with our own cast-offs and the donations from friends, and we take them downtown, along with food and water, to distribute (分发) them to the men and women living on the street. Sometimes I even got my boys involved.
On this particular afternoon, as Mom and I distributed warm clothes and hot food to a small crowd of people outside a local homeless shelter, I reached into the bag and pulled out the last of the donations, the ugly socks. Just as I was about to drop the socks back into the empty bag, laughing at myself for even bringing them along for the ride, a teenage boy came to me. “Can I please have those socks?” he asked, his blue eyes sparkling in the sun.
My eyebrows lifted. I was ashamed to say it but I was still a little embarrassed by the donation and disappointed that we hadn’t anything left to give him except for those socks.
