I can't swim so I have a strong fear of water. Look back on my childhood, I think that three reasons might explain fear. Firstly, I am not allowed to go near the water when I was a child, as my mother had an unreasonable fear of it. Therefore. I was taught to see to the water as something danger. Secondly, my eyes became bad when I was five. If I took off my glass in the water, I couldn't see something, and this increased my fear. What's worse, for a child I once saw a neighbor drowned. Since then I have been more frightening.

阅读理解
【题干】 In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团) .It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the" Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the "Fringe", once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing l,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than l.25 million tickets were sold.
l. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World War .
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
2. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
3. Who joined the" Fringe" after it appeared
A. Popular writers.
B. University students.
C. Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival__________.
A. has become a non-official event
B. has gone beyond an art festival
C. gives shows all year round
D. keeps growing rapidly
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.D
【解析】◎语麓解读本文为记叙文，题材是文学与艺术类。为了把二战后的欧洲重新联合起来，1947年一些当时著名的艺术家在爱丁堡举办了一次大型的艺术活动。没想到该活动得到了长足发展，规模越来越大。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
【题干】 A
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune (免疫的),for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced-and beat-a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged per-sons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise-the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
l. What is the national sickness
A. Walking too much.
B. Traveling too much.
C. Driving cars too much.
D. Climbing stairs too much.
2.What was life like when the author was young
A. People usually went around on foot.
B. People often walked 25 miles a day.
C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
3. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _________.
A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B. walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
4.What is compared to "a steel river" in Paragraph 6
A.A queue of cars.
B.A ray of traffic light.
C.A flash of lightning.
D.A stream of people.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.A
【解析】◎语篇解读本文是说明文，题材为生活热点。步行可以使我们更好地了解自然和自我，这一点是开车所无法带来的。
1.细节理解题。由第二段最后一句I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．可知，国民的通病就是开车太多。
2.细节理解题。由第三段中for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs可知，作者小时候的传统就是无论去哪里都靠两条腿，故选择A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段的描述可知，步行可以使人更好地了解自然界和自我。由此可推断作者引用Henry Thoreau的例子就是为了证明步行能丰富人的思维。故选B。
4.词义猜测题。由画线词后面的内容“thundering on a concrete road在混凝土路面上轰隆隆地快速移动”可猜测出，作者在这里把a steel river比作川流不息的车队。
【题干】 B
Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员)and profits(利润)of over $2 million per year He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her." Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪) .Most importantly ,it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard-but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.
5.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must__________.
A. learn to give lectures
B. attend education programs
C. design a working uniform
D. develop a common hobby
6. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _____________.
A. focus on the profits
B. benefit from the job
C. protect themselves well
D. control their feelings well
7.What can we infer from the passage
A.G&C has grown into a large company.
B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C.G&G may become more successful in the future.
D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.
【答案】5.B 6.D 7.C
【解析】◎语篇解读本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事类。通过介绍Travis在公司接受培训所学到的东西来体现意志力对个人和公司的重要性。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation.“可知选择B项。
6.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“…and how to master his emotions（情绪）.”和第四句“Most importantly，it taught him willpower.”以及第四段第一句，“And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.'’和最后一句“Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”可知本题应选择D项。
7.推理判断题。A项不用推断，文章最后一段最后一句已明确阐述；最后一段第一句提到公司花了很多钱来培训员工，但是无法从中推断出公司将会拿出利润的一半来培训员工，故排除B项；最后一段第二句只阐述了经理们编写工作手册来指导员工，并不能推断出公司还要为经理们制作更多的工作手册，故排除D项；最后一段每句话都展现出公司对员工培训的重视，最后一句阐述了公司能够如此强大在某种程度上也跟培训员工的课程有关，因此可以判断这家公司未来可能会更加成功，故选择C项。 【题干】 C
Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how lifestyle and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. I hey enjoy food and there-fore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans los. e the ability to sense when they are actually full So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice d fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't, Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to s-top rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues Co stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17qo-and is growing.
8.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyle.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
9. This text is mainly about the relationship between_________.
A. Americans and the French
B. lifestyle and obesity
C. children and adults
D. fast food and overweight
10. This text is mainly developed_________.
A. by contrast B. by space
C. by process D. by classification
11.Where does this text probably come from
A.A TV interview. B.A food advertisement.
C.A health report. D.A book review.

【题干】 D
The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions(排放)by 80 percent by 2050,part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own-though extremely important-is not enough to achieve such reductions : the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency(效率) , which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
"Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do every-thing," explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, "consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful de-sign. "In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension(方面), suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted-whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
12.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.
A. zero-carbon homes
B. the behaviour of building users
C. sustainable building design
D. the reduction of carbon emissions
13.The underlined word "which" in Paragraph 2 refers to“_________”．
A. the ways B. their homes
C. developments D. existing efforts
14.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about
A. The importance of changing building users' habits.
B. The necessity of making a careful building design.
C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
15. The information gap in energy use____.
A. can be bridged by feedback facilities
B. affects the study on energy monitors
C. brings about problems for smart meters
D. will be caused by building users' old habits
【答案】12.B 13.D 14.A 15.A
【解析】◎语篇解读本文为说明文，题材为社会生活类。现在人们提倡减少碳排放，我们以节能为核心来关注楼房设计的同时，也不能忽视人们是如何使用楼房的。
12.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句中“The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use"和最后一句中“the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too”可知本题选择B项。
13.词义猜测题。文章第二段中that people use and live in their homes为the ways的定语从句，to improve energy efficiency为existing efforts的定语，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments修饰的是existing efforts，故本题选择D项。
14.推理判断题。文章第三段第一句中的consumption patterns“消费模式”指的就是人们的习惯，第二句中也提到“old habits die hard”，故本题选择A项。
15.细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“Feedback...could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour…“可知本题选择A项。
【题干】根据下面对话，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some individuals deem that the gala should be canceled or replaced by other programs. They complain that it lacks creativity and novelty. Meanwhile, there are more ways available for entertainment.
However, the majority of Chinese still watch it. They think of it as a tradition, which brings together the family. Moreover, the most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve.

【题干】 In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团) .It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the" Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the "Fringe", once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing l,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than l.25 million tickets were sold.
l. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World War .
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
2. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
3. Who joined the" Fringe" after it appeared
A. Popular writers.
B. University students.
C. Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival__________.
A. has become a non-official event
B. has gone beyond an art festival
C. gives shows all year round
D. keeps growing rapidly

【题干】 A
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune (免疫的),for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced-and beat-a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged per-sons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise-the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
l. What is the national sickness
A. Walking too much.
B. Traveling too much.
C. Driving cars too much.
D. Climbing stairs too much.
2.What was life like when the author was young
A. People usually went around on foot.
B. People often walked 25 miles a day.
C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
3. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _________.
A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B. walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
4.What is compared to "a steel river" in Paragraph 6
A.A queue of cars.
B.A ray of traffic light.
C.A flash of lightning.
D.A stream of people.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.A
【解析】◎语篇解读本文是说明文，题材为生活热点。步行可以使我们更好地了解自然和自我，这一点是开车所无法带来的。
1.细节理解题。由第二段最后一句I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．可知，国民的通病就是开车太多。
2.细节理解题。由第三段中for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs可知，作者小时候的传统就是无论去哪里都靠两条腿，故选择A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段的描述可知，步行可以使人更好地了解自然界和自我。由此可推断作者引用Henry Thoreau的例子就是为了证明步行能丰富人的思维。故选B。
4.词义猜测题。由画线词后面的内容“thundering on a concrete road在混凝土路面上轰隆隆地快速移动”可猜测出，作者在这里把a steel river比作川流不息的车队。
【题干】 B
Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员)and profits(利润)of over $2 million per year He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her." Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪) .Most importantly ,it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard-but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.
5.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must__________.
A. learn to give lectures
B. attend education programs
C. design a working uniform
D. develop a common hobby
6. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _____________.
A. focus on the profits
B. benefit from the job
C. protect themselves well
D. control their feelings well
7.What can we infer from the passage
A.G&C has grown into a large company.
B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C.G&G may become more successful in the future.
D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.
【答案】5.B 6.D 7.C
【解析】◎语篇解读本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事类。通过介绍Travis在公司接受培训所学到的东西来体现意志力对个人和公司的重要性。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation.“可知选择B项。
6.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“…and how to master his emotions（情绪）.”和第四句“Most importantly，it taught him willpower.”以及第四段第一句，“And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.'’和最后一句“Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”可知本题应选择D项。
7.推理判断题。A项不用推断，文章最后一段最后一句已明确阐述；最后一段第一句提到公司花了很多钱来培训员工，但是无法从中推断出公司将会拿出利润的一半来培训员工，故排除B项；最后一段第二句只阐述了经理们编写工作手册来指导员工，并不能推断出公司还要为经理们制作更多的工作手册，故排除D项；最后一段每句话都展现出公司对员工培训的重视，最后一句阐述了公司能够如此强大在某种程度上也跟培训员工的课程有关，因此可以判断这家公司未来可能会更加成功，故选择C项。 【题干】 C
Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how lifestyle and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. I hey enjoy food and there-fore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans los. e the ability to sense when they are actually full So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice d fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't, Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to s-top rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues Co stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17qo-and is growing.
8.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyle.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
9. This text is mainly about the relationship between_________.
A. Americans and the French
B. lifestyle and obesity
C. children and adults
D. fast food and overweight
10. This text is mainly developed_________.
A. by contrast B. by space

11.Where does this text probably come from
A.A TV interview. B.A food advertisement.
C.A health report. D.A book review.

The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions(排放)by 80 percent by 2050,part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own-though extremely important-is not enough to achieve such reductions : the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency(效率) , which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
"Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do every-thing," explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, "consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful de-sign. "In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension(方面), suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted-whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
12.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.
A. zero-carbon homes
B. the behaviour of building users
C. sustainable building design
D. the reduction of carbon emissions
13.The underlined word "which" in Paragraph 2 refers to“_________”．
A. the ways B. their homes
C. developments D. existing efforts
14.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about
A. The importance of changing building users' habits.
B. The necessity of making a careful building design.
C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
15. The information gap in energy use____.
A. can be bridged by feedback facilities
B. affects the study on energy monitors
C. brings about problems for smart meters
D. will be caused by building users' old habits
【答案】12.B 13.D 14.A 15.A
【解析】◎语篇解读本文为说明文，题材为社会生活类。现在人们提倡减少碳排放，我们以节能为核心来关注楼房设计的同时，也不能忽视人们是如何使用楼房的。
12.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句中“The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use"和最后一句中“the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too”可知本题选择B项。
13.词义猜测题。文章第二段中that people use and live in their homes为the ways的定语从句，to improve energy efficiency为existing efforts的定语，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments修饰的是existing efforts，故本题选择D项。
14.推理判断题。文章第三段第一句中的consumption patterns“消费模式”指的就是人们的习惯，第二句中也提到“old habits die hard”，故本题选择A项。
15.细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“Feedback...could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour…“可知本题选择A项。
