21、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.
Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the building on the land”Taryn Holowka of the U.S Green Building Council in Washington, D. C. said.
According to Holowka, buildings account for(占了) 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 gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the lace(边) of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It's going to be big.”
【1】A green building is often built on an area of land________.
A. which has thick forests around
B. which has already been developed for building
C. where people of high income live
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
【2】When Holowka says in the last paragraph, "It's going to be big", she means that green buildings________.
A. will be more comfortable
B. will take the place of traditional buildings
C. will become popular in the future
D. will be more environmentally friendly
【3】What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U. S.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
C. Green buildings help save environment.
D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
【4】Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. The Solaire can reduce the impact of the building on the land.
B. Everyone is not eager to move into a green building.
C. Marty Dettling has come up with the idea of green buildings.
D. In the U.S, buildings consume(消耗) more than half of the total electricity.
22、When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.
Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.
Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”
She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.
Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.
“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.
【1】When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.
A. proud and happy
B. supportive but concerned
C. fearful and nervous
D. excited but puzzled
【2】The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A. having great help
B. using high technology
C. ending up in failure
D. starting from the beginning
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A. Volunteering helps students grow and develop.
B. School trips make parents worried about their children.
C. Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.
D. Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.
23、I wonder if I'm getting to be transparent. I can see waiters, but they can't see me. Ticket agents look right through me at the person next in line. I have the same feeling when I try to catch the attention of salesgirls, taxi drivers and my wife.
I'm substantial enough, maybe a little too substantial in places. And there's an undeniable air of authority about the way I stride (阔步) into a restaurant, pull my neck tie into place and signal the headwaiter. The headwaiter's glance sweeps my way, then comes to rest on a section of flowered wallpaper directly behind me. He considers it for a moment, and looks away. Five minutes later I manage to catch his eye. He strides in my direction, takes a menu from the pile at my elbow (肘) and walks back across the room. Another 10 minutes pass, and our eyes meet head-on. His face lights and he hurries toward me, saying to the couple right beside me: "This way, please."
Maybe I could arouse interest by pulling off the tablecloth. Maybe the best plan is to get up and start out of the restaurant without paying---a trick which never fails to earn me the whole attention of every waiter in the place.
On the other hand, people have no trouble making me out when I don't want them to. I never can avoid a friend who's been having a little bad luck lately and who would like to borrow some money. I'll spot him half a block away, and cross the street to the other side. He crosses at the same time. I stop and stare at a store window until he has passed, but his eye encounters mine in the reflection of the glass. I lend him the money, but from the moment on he can't see me.
【1】What can we learn about the author from paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．He cares about his appearance.
B．He feels ignored by the waiter.
C．He usually flees without paying.
D．He often puts on an air of pride.
【2】In his opinion, the author can be seen when ________.
A．expected to offer help
B．enjoying others' service
C．caught borrowing money
D．suffering a little bad luck
【3】What's the tone of the passage?
A．Serious.
B．Humorous.
C．Cautious.
D．Anxious,
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A．I'm a nobody
B．There is nowhere to hide
C．Am I a reliable friend?
D．Has anybody seen me lately?
24、To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better.【1】Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.
For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it.【2】It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.
【3】That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.
As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes.【4】
So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome.【5】But it can be freer and more fulfilling.
A．Goals in themselves aren’t bad.
B．But they also can kill your creativity.
C．So instead of focusing on your goal, what is the key?
D．In other words, prioritize the journey not just the destination.
E．As a result, the people who focus less on their goal are more likely to meet it.
F．Research shows that tough, specific goals get better results than easy, vague ones.
G．That means living with fewer goals, and with purpose, direction and openness instead.
25、For most people, having things stolen feels like an offence. Robbie Pruitt admitted that he got________when he discovered the theft of his mountain bike last September. But soon enough, his________took a turn. After letting go of his anger and frustration, he found himself on a road to sympathy________.

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。
It was a chilly, brisk morning, and Jason and his friends hiked quickly through the woods. Jason watched the river flow alongside him, fascinated by the rapid water. He had a keen interest in anything fast-race cars, horses, or rivers.
Jason turned to Tanya. “The river is fast,” he said, “but I can go even faster.” Then Jason took off to race the river along the shore. Suddenly, he tripped over a tree log, tumbled (滚落), and rolled into the river.
Tanya screamed in terror as Jason fell. When Jason cried out for help, waving his arms wildly, Tanya realized Jason was in serious trouble. Mr. Green, the group leader, had also seen what had happened and came running. Quickly, Mr. Green and the rest of the group ran alongside the river. Though they tried to catch up with Jason, he was always just out of their reach.
Jason kept his head above water as he floated downstream. Fortunately, he was a strong swimmer and managed to move easily with the water current. At one point, the river curved, and the water flow slowed down a bit. When he caught sight of a large rock ahead of him, he held out his arms and waited to grab it. It worked, and Jason’s movement down the river stopped!
Jason observed his surroundings and realized he was not far from shore. He felt he could swim there easily. He took a deep breath and got ready to push off until something appeared from behind a tee. It was a big bear.
Jason was both surprised and scared. He knew it wasn’t safe to swim to shore now, and he didn’t wish to make the bear’s acquaintance. If they met, he would be no match for the powerful creature. He shivered and held on more tightly to the rock.
Jason watched the bear and it seemed to be staring right back at him. Suddenly, it began to walk to the edge of the river, and Jason grew scared. Jason looked around and noticed tall reds (芦苇), which looked like giant straws, growing in the water.
