20．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 （影響） of  the building  on the land"，Taryn Holowka of the U．S．Green Building Council in Washington D．C．said．
According to Holowka，the building accounts for 65percent 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，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 project manger 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 50percent．"
The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power．"On the face of the building we have solar panels（板） 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 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．"

72．In the second paragraph，the underlined words"the building"most probably refer toA．
A．a(chǎn)n ordinary building              B．a(chǎn)n energy-saving building
C．a(chǎn) green-colored building          D．a(chǎn) building in Washington D．C．
73．A green building is often built on an area of landC．
A．which has thick forests around
B．where people of high income live
C．which has already been for buildings
D．where traveling around by car is most convenient
74．When saying"It's going to be big"，Holowka means that green buildingsB．
A．will be more comfortable
B．will become popular in future
C．will be more environmentally friendly
D．will take the place of traditional building
75．What is the main subject discussed in the text？A
A．Green buildings help save environment．
B．The Solaire serves as a model of high building．
C．Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design．
D．Dettling designed the first green building in the U．S．

分析 如今，綠色建筑不僅僅意味著油漆的顏色，綠色建筑也可以指環(huán)保的房屋、工廠和辦公室．
    綠色建筑是指"減少對土地的影響"的建筑，在華盛頓綠色建筑委員會的泰倫霍洛卡說．根據(jù)霍洛卡，建筑使用著美國65%的電力．
    但是，綠色建筑能減少能源和水的使用．同時，建筑往往位于公交車、地鐵等公共交通工具附近，使人們可以減少開車．這可能對環(huán)境有好處，因為汽車使用大量的氣體和放出污染．綠色建筑往往建在已開發(fā)的土地，所以那建筑物不破壞森林．
    馬蒂戴特琳是把這些想法付諸行動的項目經(jīng)理．索萊若被稱為全國首個綠色超高層建筑．據(jù)戴特琳說，"我們已經(jīng)減少了我們1/3的能源和1/2的水．"索萊若通過利用太陽能來減少過去使用的能源．在建筑表明我們安裝了太陽面板，使太陽的能量轉(zhuǎn)化為電力，"戴特琳解釋說．當人們離開房間時索萊若會自動關(guān)閉．此外，大樓有很多窗戶，讓人們利用太陽能，減少水的利用．
    不是每個人都渴望搬到一個綠色建筑．然而，一些人認為太陽能板的成本遠高于傳統(tǒng)能源的花銷．總之，霍洛卡說"這將是巨大的．"

解答 72-75 ACBA
72題答案是A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices．Green building means"reducing the impact （影響） of  the building  on the land．"綠色建筑減少傳統(tǒng)建筑對土地的影響，故答案是A．
73題答案是C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)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．可知綠色建筑建立在已開發(fā)使用的土地上，故選C．
74題答案是B．文章大意題．文章強調(diào)了綠色建筑的環(huán)保特征，將是以后的大趨勢，故選B．
75題答案是A．文章大意題．文章強調(diào)了綠色建筑的環(huán)保特征，故選A．

點評 這是一篇環(huán)保閱讀題，講述了綠色建筑的環(huán)保特征．題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時需要結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案；推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理地分析才能得出正確答案，切記胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

15．A new study has been carried to test the role of story telling in lowering blood pressure．Dr．Thomas Houston，a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School，led a group of scientists that investigated how pre-recorded videos of hypertension （高血壓） patients'talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months．
   Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine．They showed that those who had had similar experiences，when talking to someone with a similar background，could help change their behavior to become healthier．Hypertension is difficult to control，since it is dependent on diet，exercise and mental state．Medical treatments with drugs，and lifestyle therapies（療法） have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements．
   In the test，his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients'community with whom they could most easily relate．Next，they divided their study population into two groups．One received three interactive （互助） DVDs containing the tellers'stories of their experiences in living with and treating their hypertension．The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic．The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs，and after three months，those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure．
  While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients'behavior，Houston suspects that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension．They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained，suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect．
71．We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videosA．
  A．tell medical histories of hypertension patients
  B．introduce some medical treatments of hypertension
  C．introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients
  D．tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group
72．Houston was surprised to find thatB．
  A．hypertension is really difficult to control

A．The scientists chose 230 patients from a hospital．
  B．Both the groups used the same videos about health topic．
  C．The two groups lowered blood pressure in different degrees．
  D．The story-tellers were hypertension patients as well．
74．The underlined word"address"in the last paragraph most probably meansD．
  A．convince of      B．observe     C．concentrate on       D．a(chǎn)nnounce
75．Which of the following could be the best title of the text？C

5．Country-dwellers（農(nóng)村居民） often say the constant noise，heavy traffic and crowds of the city would drive them mad．Well，they might be right，according to the latest research．City residents are more likely to develop mental illnesses than those who live in villages，a study has found．
Researchers from Cardiff university examined the lifestyles of more than 200，000people in Sweden and found that those who lived in urban areas were more at risk from mental illnesses than people who lived in villages．
The experts don't know exactly why this is but they suggest that town and city residents are more likely to be ostracized（排擠） by those around them．They are more likely to experience discrimination（歧視） if they do not fit in，which can lead to them feeling anxious and even developing mental illnesses．
Dr Stanley Zammit，who led the research said that people living in towns and cities are more likely to develop other mental illnesses that result in personality changes-a condition known as non-affective psychosis（非情感性精神�。�
Earlier this year an official report found that village-dwellers live an average of two years longer than those living in towns and cities．According to figures from the Office of National Statistics in the UK，men who live in villages are likely to live for between 78and 79years，while those in towns and cities can expect to survive to an age of 76．Women on average survive to their 81st birthday in towns and cities，but live to between 82and 83in villages．The small marked town of Wimborne Minster in rural Dorset was named the healthiest place to live in．

61．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Country-dwellers are more likely to develop mental illnesses．
B．City-dwellers are more likely to develop mental illnesses．
C．Country-dwellers live longer than city-dwellers．
D．City-dwellers live longer than country-dwellers．
62．The research from Cardiff University was based on the people'sD．
A．interests． B．characters． C．occupations． D．lifestyles．
63．It can be inferred thatD．
A．people like living in towns and cities
B．city-dwellers enjoy their peaceful city life
C．village-dwellers are more likely to be looked down upon by others
D．village-dwellers get along better with their neighbors than city-dwellers．
64．Non-affective psychosis is a kind of mental illnesses that is linked toA
A．character change  B．temperature rise  C．pressure increase  D．energy weakening
65．We can learn from the last paragraph that generallyA．
A．women living in villages live the longest
B．women living in cities live the longest
C．men living in villages live the longest

12．A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China-"tuhao"-which loosely translated means"nouveau riche"．There have been more than 100 million references to the word"tuhao"on social media since early September．
It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building，to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling，and the new gold-coloured iPhone．
In Chinese"tu"means earth and"hao"means rich．To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background，and have made it rich quick-but don't quite have the manners，or sophistication to go along with it．It's like the term"nouveau riche"，says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham-but has even more negative meanings，suggesting a certain vulgarity（粗俗）．
"Tuhao"is actually an old word-dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1，500 years ago-but it has always meant something rather different．During the communist revolution，from the 1920s to early 1950s，it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them．
This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich，but unhappy man，who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice，expecting to be told to live a more simple life．The monk replies instead with the phrase："Tuhao，let's be friends!"
Chinese internet users are highly creative in their use of language，and are constantly inventing，and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship rules．But in this case，its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it brieflyhttp://www．ks5u．com/expresses China's changing society so well-many people sneerat those with wealth，but are secretly jealous．
51．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Tuhao，a new popular word in China
B．The long history of Tuhao
C．The new usage of Tuhao
D．Tuhao，a newly-invented Chinese word
52．Which of the following may NOT be considered"tuhao"？D
A．A vulgar nouveau riche 
B．A bully landholder
C．A quick-rich peasant without proper manners
D．A Buddhist monk．
53．The last but one paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．what the new usage of the word is
B．how the word becomes popular again
C．why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk
D．what advice the monk gave the unhappy man
54．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？C
A．respect      B．envy    C．underestimate    D．disbelieve．

fit in，creating interpersonal cliques and violence．
