When the lights in Los Angeles went out on Monday afternoon, my first thought was about my Department of Water and Power (DWP) bill. I knew it was not paid by the 36 time. Yet once I looked at it, I knew the problem was bigger than personal 37 . The bill was only six days late, not long enough for the DWP to 38 my power.
Next I wondered if there might be a problem in my 39 , or perhaps my neighborhood. I stepped 40 to take a look, but nothing was happening, just the 41 mid-afternoon silence. When I came back in, my wife was on the phone 42 a friend who had also 43 her power.
I thought this was bigger than I imagined. I dug through a drawer and pulled our 44 , the one we keep for when the earthquake 45 . Switching it on and turning the handle, I couldn’t help 46 feel an edge of satisfaction, as if I were setting out on an 47 . Having turned in a news station and learned much about power cut, I began to 48 an evening of candlelight: my wife and kids and I sat closely together in the living room, telling stories and 49 out the darkness.
One of my fondest childhood 50 is of the 1965 New York power failure, when I just 51 four. I lived on the 10th floor of an apartment, and the entire world was 52 by candles. I remember my father coming home early, the soft stillness of our kitchen, the unimaginable 53 of the skyline as it settled into night.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Although hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck. El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995, was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.
Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane's wake.
Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.
Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2009 season.
"It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land," NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.
Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.
This year's forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.
"The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.
56. Which of the following is the 2009 first hurricane
A. Charley. B. Adrian. C. Jeanne. D. Frances.
57. How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text
A. Six. B. Nine. C. Five. D. Three.
58. We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ______.
A. have nothing to do with the hurricane
B. cause less hurricane
C. are more likely to cause the hurricanes
D. do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast
59. The passage implies that _______.
A. hurricane season comes early this year
B. every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land
C. hurricane often comes in winter and spring
D. tropical storm is more severe than hurricane
B
“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears. I tried to slide beneath my desk. The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room. I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal. I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me, I’m not ready to die, I’m not ready!”
I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers. I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores. The fingers would soon cease to exist. Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.
Suddenly, I became aware that the rocking had ceased. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
60. The roaring sound was made by______.
A. a wounded animal B. people screaming
C. children running D. an earthquake
61. When the narrator clenches his fingers he is ______.
A. afraid B. angry C. injured D. impatient
62. Paragraph two describes the______.
A. injuries suffered by the narrator B. effects of a bad nightmare
C. disorder in the classroom D. narrator’s fear of death
63. At the end of the passage there is a feeling of______.
A. panic B. hope C. sorrow D. excitement
C
When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”
Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.
In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of its own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names, and to talk about them almost if they were alive.
64.What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage
A. They suffer from hurricanes.
B. The Weather Bureau look for them.
C. Others often make fun of them.
D. They can’t find boyfriend.
65.The underlined word“resemblance”probably means ______.
A. trouble B. difference C. sameness D. success
66.According to the passage, which is more reasonable
A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.
B.A lot of women complain of the Weather Bureau.
C. Many women want to be known.
D. All the hurricanes are caused by women.
67. Public opinions make the Weather Bureau ______.
A. consider the disagreement of some women
B. go on naming hurricanes after women
C. name hurricanes after men
D. look for a new method to name hurricanes
68. It is natural to give hurricane names because ______.
A. they become old and die
B. all of them should be remembered
C. each hurricane has its own day to come
D. each hurricane has its own character
D
Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time. Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action. They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers. Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed. During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium, uranium, thorium, and other radioactive elements. Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.
Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig. In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet. At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock. However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or puttylike（油灰状的）.In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid. But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.
69. The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.
A. great pressure of the earth’s outer layers
B. the heat left from the time when the earth was formed
C. radioactive elements giving out heat
D. not sure
70. According to the passage,______ prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points.
A. the pressure of the rock itself
B. the pressure of the rock above
C. the pressure of the earth’s outer layers
D. the heat given out by some radioactive elements
71.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. The farther down, the hotter the earth gets.
B. The rock deep in the earth is liquid.
C. When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust, the rock melts.
D. Rock would be melted at 4 000°.
E
The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought.
Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth’s outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.
Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents—a science called plate tectonics.
The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wagener. Before World War One, Wagener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.
Wagener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wagener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.
72. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage
A. The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space.
B. Human’s recognition of the earth’s surface.
C. The German scientist Alfred Wagener.
D. The early explorers’ discovery.
73. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. We didn’t see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.
B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.
C. Alfred Wagener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.
D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.
74. The last word of the third paragraph “tectonics” mean “________”.
A. study of construction
B. study of architecture
C. earth surface
D. structural geology
75. What did the explorers find
A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.
B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.
C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.
D.The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.

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 of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said .
According to Holyoake, building account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, ________________. 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 .
Mary Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaria has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’re reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent,”.
The Solaria 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 Solaria cuts water 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, Holyoake said, “It’s going to be big.”
76. What is the best title of the passage (please answer within 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one
Green building will become popular in future .
_______________________________________________________________________________
78. Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence .( Please answer within in 10 words .)

Module3 The Violence of Nature
单元测试卷答案
21. B almost 后面可接any，no，nothing之类的词。
22. B sth. occurs to sb.的意思是“某人突然间想起了……”。
23. B a flood of 大量的；plenty of 前面没有冠词。
24. B flowed 流；flew 飞；fled 逃跑；fell 落下。只有flowed与fast连用。
25. A这句话的意思是：这是对于这个城市任何地方来说最高的旅馆。
26. B put off 延迟；put away 存放；put up 举起；put out 熄灭。
27. B how often 指“频度”；how long指“时间段“；how soon指“要多久”。on the whole 从整体来说；on average 平均起来；generally speaking 总的来说；in all 总共。
28. C ended up 以……结果而告终；后接副词或介词短语作状语。ended in/with后接名词作宾语；turned out 后接形容词。句意为：尽管他付出了很大的努力，可最后还是没有成功。
29. C turn over 翻过来；turn down 减低，拒绝；turn up 增大，出现；unfortunately 不幸运地。
30. B首先要选择间接引语部分是陈述词序的选项；第二要考虑疑问词的正确使用，从句子结构来看，间接引语部分的谓语do缺少了宾语，因此应选择连接词what充当do的宾语。
31. A第一个原因与上题一样；第二点关于疑问词的考虑，因为间接引语部分的谓语will look like 的like是介词，而介词必须带有宾语，因此使用连接词what充当介词like 的宾语。
32. D I wonder if中的if表示“是否”，从句中应该用一般将来时；I think if ...中的if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”，从句中用一般时代替将来时。
33. A疑问词的选择，因为go是一个不及物动词，如果要表示“去哪里”，就要用“go+副词”或“go+介词+名词/代词”结构，因此如果选C的话，gone后应加介词to。故使用连接词where。
34. C第一点考虑的是间接引语部分需使用陈述词序，故排除B和D。第二点考虑的是时态问题。因为主句使用了一般现在时，如果选择A，使用过去完成时，在这个句子并没有过去时间作参照点，因此不能使用过去完成时。
35. B本题考查限制性定语从句中关系词的选择。定语从句的先行词是表示地点的名词短语the small town, 且关系词不作定语从句中的主语和宾语而作地点状语，因此定语从句必须用关系副词where引导。要注意分清先行词在从句中充当的成分，然后选择适当的关系词。
36. A没有在预期的时间内交费
37. C个人经济状况
38. B还不足以让DWP停我的点

One possible version:
Dear students,
This spring, most parts in the southwest of China are short of water. It is difficult for more than 20,000,000 people to drink water. The people there don't have enough clean drinking water to drink because it hasn't rained for a long time. What's worse, a great number of wild animals and plants die because of lack of water. I am so shocked that I hope people around the world can save water and protect our environment. We should take action to prevent natural disaster.
Now so many people in Yunnan and some other provinces are in difficult. I think we should try our best to help them. We can donate bottles of drinking water to them. We can also raise money for them to help them dig more wells. In a word, let's stretch our helping hands to help those in need.
Thanks for your joining!

When the lights in Los Angeles went out on Monday afternoon, my first thought was about my Department of Water and Power (DWP) bill. I knew it was not paid by the 36 time. Yet once I looked at it, I knew the problem was bigger than personal 37 . The bill was only six days late, not long enough for the DWP to 38 my power.
Next I wondered if there might be a problem in my 39 , or perhaps my neighborhood. I stepped 40 to take a look, but nothing was happening, just the 41 mid-afternoon silence. When I came back in, my wife was on the phone 42 a friend who had also 43 her power.

Switching it on and turning the handle, I couldn’t help 46 feel an edge of satisfaction, as if I were setting out on an 47 .

One of my fondest childhood 50 is of the 1965 New York power failure, when I just 51 four. I lived on the 10th floor of an apartment, and the entire world was 52 by candles. I remember my father coming home early, the soft stillness of our kitchen, the unimaginable 53 of the skyline as it settled into night.

Although hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck. El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995, was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.
Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane's wake.
Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.
Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2009 season.
"It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land," NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.
Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.
This year's forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.
"The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.
56. Which of the following is the 2009 first hurricane
A. Charley. B. Adrian. C. Jeanne. D. Frances.
57. How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text
A. Six. B. Nine. C. Five. D. Three.
58. We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ______.
A. have nothing to do with the hurricane
B. cause less hurricane
C. are more likely to cause the hurricanes
D. do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast
59. The passage implies that _______.
A. hurricane season comes early this year
B. every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land
C. hurricane often comes in winter and spring
D. tropical storm is more severe than hurricane
B
“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears. I tried to slide beneath my desk. The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room. I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal. I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me, I’m not ready to die, I’m not ready!”
I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers. I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores. The fingers would soon cease to exist. Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.
Suddenly, I became aware that the rocking had ceased. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
60. The roaring sound was made by______.
A. a wounded animal B. people screaming
C. children running D. an earthquake
61. When the narrator clenches his fingers he is ______.
A. afraid B. angry C. injured D. impatient
62. Paragraph two describes the______.
A. injuries suffered by the narrator B. effects of a bad nightmare
C. disorder in the classroom D. narrator’s fear of death
63. At the end of the passage there is a feeling of______.
A. panic B. hope C. sorrow D. excitement
C
When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”
Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.
In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of its own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names, and to talk about them almost if they were alive.
64.What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage
A. They suffer from hurricanes.
B. The Weather Bureau look for them.
C. Others often make fun of them.
D. They can’t find boyfriend.
65.The underlined word“resemblance”probably means ______.
A. trouble B. difference C. sameness D. success
66.According to the passage, which is more reasonable
A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.
B.A lot of women complain of the Weather Bureau.
C. Many women want to be known.
D. All the hurricanes are caused by women.
67. Public opinions make the Weather Bureau ______.
A. consider the disagreement of some women
B. go on naming hurricanes after women
C. name hurricanes after men
D. look for a new method to name hurricanes
68. It is natural to give hurricane names because ______.
A. they become old and die
B. all of them should be remembered
C. each hurricane has its own day to come
D. each hurricane has its own character
D
Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time. Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action. They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers. Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed. During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium, uranium, thorium, and other radioactive elements. Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.
Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig. In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet. At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock. However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or puttylike（油灰状的）.In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid. But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.
69. The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.
A. great pressure of the earth’s outer layers
B. the heat left from the time when the earth was formed
C. radioactive elements giving out heat
D. not sure
70. According to the passage,______ prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points.
A. the pressure of the rock itself
B. the pressure of the rock above
C. the pressure of the earth’s outer layers
D. the heat given out by some radioactive elements
71.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. The farther down, the hotter the earth gets.
B. The rock deep in the earth is liquid.
C. When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust, the rock melts.
D. Rock would be melted at 4 000°.
E
The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought.
Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth’s outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.
Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents—a science called plate tectonics.
The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wagener. Before World War One, Wagener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.
Wagener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wagener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.
72. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage
A. The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space.
B. Human’s recognition of the earth’s surface.
C. The German scientist Alfred Wagener.
D. The early explorers’ discovery.
73. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. We didn’t see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.
B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.
C. Alfred Wagener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.
D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.
74. The last word of the third paragraph “tectonics” mean “________”.
A. study of construction
B. study of architecture
C. earth surface
D. structural geology
75. What did the explorers find
A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.
B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.
C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.
D.The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.

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 of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said .
According to Holyoake, building account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, ________________. 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 .
Mary Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaria has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’re reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent,”.
The Solaria 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 Solaria cuts water 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, Holyoake said, “It’s going to be big.”

Module3 The Violence of Nature
单元测试卷答案
21. B almost 后面可接any，no，nothing之类的词。
22. B sth. occurs to sb.的意思是“某人突然间想起了……”。
23. B a flood of 大量的；plenty of 前面没有冠词。
24. B flowed 流；flew 飞；fled 逃跑；fell 落下。只有flowed与fast连用。
25. A这句话的意思是：这是对于这个城市任何地方来说最高的旅馆。
26. B put off 延迟；put away 存放；put up 举起；put out 熄灭。
27. B how often 指“频度”；how long指“时间段“；how soon指“要多久”。on the whole 从整体来说；on average 平均起来；generally speaking 总的来说；in all 总共。
28. C ended up 以……结果而告终；后接副词或介词短语作状语。ended in/with后接名词作宾语；turned out 后接形容词。句意为：尽管他付出了很大的努力，可最后还是没有成功。
29. C turn over 翻过来；turn down 减低，拒绝；turn up 增大，出现；unfortunately 不幸运地。
30. B首先要选择间接引语部分是陈述词序的选项；第二要考虑疑问词的正确使用，从句子结构来看，间接引语部分的谓语do缺少了宾语，因此应选择连接词what充当do的宾语。
31. A第一个原因与上题一样；第二点关于疑问词的考虑，因为间接引语部分的谓语will look like 的like是介词，而介词必须带有宾语，因此使用连接词what充当介词like 的宾语。
32. D I wonder if中的if表示“是否”，从句中应该用一般将来时；I think if ...中的if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”，从句中用一般时代替将来时。
33. A疑问词的选择，因为go是一个不及物动词，如果要表示“去哪里”，就要用“go+副词”或“go+介词+名词/代词”结构，因此如果选C的话，gone后应加介词to。故使用连接词where。
34. C第一点考虑的是间接引语部分需使用陈述词序，故排除B和D。第二点考虑的是时态问题。因为主句使用了一般现在时，如果选择A，使用过去完成时，在这个句子并没有过去时间作参照点，因此不能使用过去完成时。
35. B本题考查限制性定语从句中关系词的选择。定语从句的先行词是表示地点的名词短语the small town, 且关系词不作定语从句中的主语和宾语而作地点状语，因此定语从句必须用关系副词where引导。要注意分清先行词在从句中充当的成分，然后选择适当的关系词。

One possible version:
Dear students,
This spring, most parts in the southwest of China are short of water. It is difficult for more than 20,000,000 people to drink water. The people there don't have enough clean drinking water to drink because it hasn't rained for a long time. What's worse, a great number of wild animals and plants die because of lack of water. I am so shocked that I hope people around the world can save water and protect our environment. We should take action to prevent natural disaster.
Now so many people in Yunnan and some other provinces are in difficult. I think we should try our best to help them. We can donate bottles of drinking water to them. We can also raise money for them to help them dig more wells. In a word, let's stretch our helping hands to help those in need.
Thanks for your joining!
