Do you think cookies can tell stories Jasmine Cho, 35, does.
A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies.
It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”.
Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said.
Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies ”
One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.
“It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout ( 核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”
Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor.
Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.
“Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”
41. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture
A. One of her sleepover experiences.
B. One elective course she took at college.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jasmine Cho用烘焙技术制作饼干，设计饼干肖像，促进亚裔美国文化。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. (后来，Cho意识到她的第二个爱好：更多地了解她的亚洲和美国文化。大学里一门教授亚裔美国移民经历的选修课让她动情。“太多的情绪涌上心头，我无法表达。就像是愤怒、解脱、赋权、悲伤的混合体……” Cho说。)”可知，Cho在大学选修的一门课激发了她对亚裔美国文化的兴趣。故选B。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...(就像是愤怒、解脱、赋权、悲伤的混合体……)”可知，Jasmine Cho的情绪很复杂，所以无法表达，推知articulate为“表达”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies ” (Cho意识到，她可以把这两种激情结合起来，教育其他人了解有影响力的亚裔美国人，并展示对她来说很重要的事情。在她的网上面包店，她设计了她崇拜的人的饼干肖像，并将这些照片发布在Instagram上。“在我发现饼干之前，我一直不知道如何传达这些故事，”Cho说。“饼干真的很让人放松。谁不喜欢饼干？”)”可知，Cho认为饼干是促进亚裔美国文化的有用工具是因为许多人喜欢饼干。故选D项。
44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.(有一种饼干让Cho产生了深刻的共鸣，那就是她在20世纪70年代以夏威夷活动家George Helm的肖像制作的饼干。)”以及第七段“Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”(Cho说，“George Helm是那些真正代表夏威夷原住民精神以及与他们的土地和自然联系的活动家之一。”)”可推断，作者在文中提到George Helm的目的是为了用其肖像饼干来展示Cho专注于（传递）什么知识。故选B项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”(“不要试图去想一些新和原创的东西，只要向内看，看看，也许你已经有了一种激情或爱，”Cho说。“用它来做一些能更好地为世界服务的事情。”)”及全文可知，Jasmine Cho通过自己的爱好，更好地为世界服务。所以D项“Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one. (投身于你的内心世界，以发现一个更好的世界)”能最好地概括文章中的信息。故选D项。
C
People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites, a large study on navigation suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial skills.
Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.
On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably encountered lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.
What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, cognitive scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.
Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so,” Coutrot says.
Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more precise baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s disease, for instance.
46. What does the underlined word “urbanites” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Those who live close to urban areas.
B. Those who are from rural areas.
C. Those who are raised in cities.
D. Those who long for urban life.
47. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest.
B. By gathering data from the video game.
C. By recording electrical activities in brains.
D. By comparing various targets of the game.
48. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4
A. City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.
B. Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.
C. There was no significant difference between city residents and outsiders.
D. The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.
49. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with
A. Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.
B. Gender and education are key to developing navigational abilities.
C. A superior sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.
D. The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How environment impacts early childhood development
B. Why is early childhood education important for our future
C. When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills
D. Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了儿童时期的成长环境影响着人的导航能力。
【46题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一句的than可知作者拿urbanites和people who grow up outside of cities (在城市以外长大的人)对比，所以urbanties（Those who are raised in cities.）指的是城市人。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data about people’s brains（来自世界38个国家的近40万人玩了一款名为‘海洋英雄探索’的视频游戏，该游戏由科学家和游戏开发商设计，是一种收集人类大脑数据的有趣方式。）”可知研究人员是通过收集视频游戏的数据来进行研究的。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably encountered lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.（通常，那些说自己在城市以外长大的人，在那里他们可能会遇到许多复杂的道路，比在城市长大的人更善于找到目标。）”可知一个人早期的成长环境影响着他们在游戏中的表现。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Coutrot所说的“As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so（作为一个孩子，如果你接触到一个复杂的环境，你就会学会找到道路，并发展出正确的认知过程。）”可知，Coutrot认为儿童时期的成长环境影响人们的导航能力。故选A项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要通过对比在城里长大人和在城外长大的人在导航能力方面的差异告诉我们人的成长环境可能影响人的导航能力。所以短文的最佳标题为“你成长的地方可能会影响你的导航能力”。故选D项。
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 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, which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,” explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” 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 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, 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, 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.
51. 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
52. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________.”
A. the ways B. their homes C. developments D. existing efforts
53. 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.
54. 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
55. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest
A. The social science research is to be furthered.
B. The education programme is under discussion.
C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.
D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要叙述来自UKERC的最新研究：房屋使用者对能源使用起着重要影响及介绍研究的内容。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“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).(根据英国能源研究中心（UKERC）的一项新研究，在能源使用方面，建筑物使用者的行为可能至少与其设计同等重要)”可知，关于能源使用，UKERC的新研究强调了建筑用户行为的重要性。故选B。
【52题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“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”以及后文“instead focus on architectural and technological developments”可知，这项研究表明，人们在家中使用和生活的方式在很大程度上被现有的提高能源效率的努力所忽视，这些努力反而关注建筑和技术发展。故which指代前句中的“existing efforts”。故选D。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,” explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.”(UKERC高级研究员凯蒂·简达解释说：“技术将提供帮助，但它不会做所有的事情。建筑用户的消费模式可能会打败最精心的设计。”)”可知，凯蒂·简达的话主要是关于改变建筑用户和习惯的重要性。故选A。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Feedback 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.(反馈设施，如智能电表和能源监测器，可以帮助人们了解改变他们的行为如何直接影响他们的能源使用，从而弥合这一信息鸿沟；一些研究表明，使用智能电表，家庭可以节省高达15%的能源)”可知，能源使用方面的信息差距可以通过填平信息鸿沟加以弥补。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Social science research has added a further dimension, 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, for example.(社会科学研究增加了一个更深层次的维度，表明个人在家里的行为可能是个人的，而且无法预测——例如，人们是打开窗户还是调低恒温器)”可知，社会科学研究增加的维度表明了建筑用户的行为是不可预测的。故选C。

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
It was a tough situation. At 8,700 meters above sea level, Zhang Hong and his team members faced a difficult decision. Based on the oxygen they had consumed, they might not have enough to reach the summit of Qomolangma. Should they press on or turn back
Zhang’s guide Chen Tao made a quick decision that he and the two photographers with the group should immediately withdraw and leave their oxygen tanks to Zhang to let him finish the climb to the summit of the mountain.
The wind was strong, and Zhang was terrified. The three Sherpa guides didn’t speak Chinese and their English instructions to Zhang were muffled by the high wind. And there was additional difficulty for Zhang — he can’t see.
To walk on a path was often hard for the Chinese mountaineer. And there was no actual path on the mountain. Zhang had to follow the guides’ directions precisely on every single step. The guides told him in which direction to go and the length of each step. But one mistake could cost Zhang his life.
At first, Zhang didn’t want to continue. But Chen told Zhang “if you don’t continue, this may be the last chance you have to reach the top of Qomolangma, while I will still have more chances”. There was no time left for 46-year-old Zhang to argue with Chen and Chen gave Zhang a gentle nudge to hurry him on.
Zhang continued his climb with one guide in front of him and two behind. After several more hours’ climbing, the guide leading the way told Zhang that he was standing at the top of the mountain. Zhang was first visually impaired person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest peak.
On the rock face of the mountain, Zhang etched his name alongside that of Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer, who completed the feat in 2001 and 2017 respectively. They are the only three blind mountaineers to have climbed Qomolangma.
66. Why did Chen decide to withdraw while letting Zhang finish the climb (no more than 10 words)
________________
67. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 3 (no more than 10 words)
________________
68. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5 (no more than 10 words)
________________
69. What made Zhang different from other mountaineers who reached the summit of Qomolangma (no more than 10 words)
________________
70. What’s your attitude towards the “mountain” in your life Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】66. Because there was not enough oxygen.
67. The wind was too strong to hear the instructions.
68. Chen pushed Zhang to reach the top of Qomolangma.
69. That he was the first visually impaired person from Asia.
70. I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了张宏在导游陈涛的带领下，成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰的事情。
【66题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Based on the oxygen they had consumed, they might not have enough to reach the summit of Qomolangma.(根据他们消耗的氧气，他们可能没有足够的氧气到达珠峰顶峰)”可知，陈决定退出，让张完成攀登是因为他们可能没有足够的氧气到达珠峰顶峰。故答案为Because there was not enough oxygen..
【67题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“The wind was strong, and Zhang was terrified. (风很大，张吓坏了)”以及画线词“their English instructions to Zhang were muffled by the high wind”可知，风很大，他们对张的英语指导被大风盖住了。可知，画线部分的意思是“风太大了，听不到指示”。故答案为The wind was too strong to hear the instructions.
【68题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第五段“At first, Zhang didn’t want to continue. But Chen told Zhang “if you don’t continue, this may be the last chance you have to reach the top of Qomolangma, while I will still have more chances”. There was no time left for 46-year-old Zhang to argue with Chen and Chen gave Zhang a gentle nudge to hurry him on.(一开始，张不想继续。但陈告诉张：“如果你不继续，这可能是你登上珠峰的最后一次机会，而我还有更多的机会。”46岁的张没有时间和陈争辩，陈轻轻地推了张一下，催他快点)”可知，第五段的主旨是陈催促张登上珠穆朗玛峰。故答案为Chen pushed Zhang to reach the top of Qomolangma.
【69题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Zhang was first visually impaired person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest peak. (张是第一位征服世界最高峰的亚洲视障人士)”可知，张与其他登顶珠峰的人的不同在于张是第一位征服世界最高峰的亚洲视障人士。故答案为That he was the first visually impaired person from Asia.
【70题详解】
开放性题目。题干：你对生活中的“山”是什么态度？请解释一下。可回答：我会努力达到我的目标，因为我想要过一种激动人心的生活。故答案为I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.

Do you think cookies can tell stories Jasmine Cho, 35, does.
A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies.
It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”.
Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said.
Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies ”
One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.
“It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout ( 核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”
Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor.
Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.
“Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”
41 What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture
A. One of her sleepover experiences.
B. One elective course she took at college.
C. The process of learning baking from her friend.
D. A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences.
42. The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean______ .
A. get rid of B. put up with
C. express in words D. stay focused
43. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture
A. Cookies don’t cost much. B. Cookies are easier to make.
C. Cookies have different images. D. Cookies are liked by many people.
44. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage
A. To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii.
B. To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies.
C. To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians.
D. To explain why Cho is interested in political activists.

B. Spread something original to one’s heart content.
C. Hold your horses for a better self.
D. Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one.

People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites, a large study on navigation suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial skills.
Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.
On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably encountered lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.
What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, cognitive scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.
Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so,” Coutrot says.
Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more precise baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s disease, for instance.
46. What does the underlined word “urbanites” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Those who live close to urban areas.
B. Those who are from rural areas.
C. Those who are raised in cities.
D. Those who long for urban life.
47. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest.
B. By gathering data from the video game.
C. By recording electrical activities in brains.
D. By comparing various targets of the game.
48. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4
A. City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.
B Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.
C. There was no significant difference between city residents and outsiders.
D. The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.
49. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with
A. Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.
B. Gender and education are key to developing navigational abilities.
C. A superior sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.
D. The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How environment impacts early childhood development
B. Why is early childhood education important for our future
C. When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills
D. Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills
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 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, which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,” explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” 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 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, 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, 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.
51. 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
52. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________.”
A. the ways B. their homes C. developments D. existing efforts
53. 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.
54. 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
55. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest
A. The social science research is to be furthered.
B. The education programme is under discussion.
C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.
D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.

It was a tough situation. At 8,700 meters above sea level, Zhang Hong and his team members faced a difficult decision. Based on the oxygen they had consumed, they might not have enough to reach the summit of Qomolangma. Should they press on or turn back
Zhang’s guide Chen Tao made a quick decision that he and the two photographers with the group should immediately withdraw and leave their oxygen tanks to Zhang to let him finish the climb to the summit of the mountain.
The wind was strong, and Zhang was terrified. The three Sherpa guides didn’t speak Chinese and their English instructions to Zhang were muffled by the high wind. And there was additional difficulty for Zhang — he can’t see.
To walk on a path was often hard for the Chinese mountaineer. And there was no actual path on the mountain. Zhang had to follow the guides’ directions precisely on every single step. The guides told him in which direction to go and the length of each step. But one mistake could cost Zhang his life.
At first, Zhang didn’t want to continue. But Chen told Zhang “if you don’t continue, this may be the last chance you have to reach the top of Qomolangma, while I will still have more chances”. There was no time left for 46-year-old Zhang to argue with Chen and Chen gave Zhang a gentle nudge to hurry him on.
Zhang continued his climb with one guide in front of him and two behind. After several more hours’ climbing, the guide leading the way told Zhang that he was standing at the top of the mountain. Zhang was first visually impaired person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest peak.
On the rock face of the mountain, Zhang etched his name alongside that of Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer, who completed the feat in 2001 and 2017 respectively. They are the only three blind mountaineers to have climbed Qomolangma.
