24、 from around the world and make it fast and easy,” he said.“Eating at home helps keep meals healthy and teaches kids how to eat right.

29、r TableBThe behaviour of a buildings 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

30、 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

31、 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 u

32、sers 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 dont have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, its hard to estim

33、ate 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

34、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

35、argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.46. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of_.A. zero-carbon homes B. the behaviour of building usersC. sustainable building design D. t

36、he reduction of carbon emissions47. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_.”A. the waysB. their homesC. developments D. existing efforts48. What are Katy Jandas words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building desig

37、n.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency. 49. The information gap in energy use _. A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by b

38、uilding users old habits50. 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.C

39、“Tear em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!” These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed.

40、Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to de

41、lete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary” “enemy”; “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate ones intellect, and every action, no ma

42、tter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they w

43、et enough now?” In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents international and illegal blocking by deliberately

44、hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it be

45、longs there by setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the differenc

46、e in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.” 51. Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view? A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior. C. Unpleasant words in sports are often used

47、 by foreign athletes. D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 52. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _. A. are too eager to win B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their

48、 rivals as enemies 53. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair. D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 54. Accor

49、ding to the passage, players, in a game, may _. A. deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their way B. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game C. lie down on the ground as an act of protest D. kick the ball across the court with force 55. The author hopes to have the cur

50、rent situation in sports improved by _. A. calling on players to use clean language on the court B. raising the referees sense of responsibility C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field D. regulating the relationship between players and refereesDKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seve

51、nteen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east

52、 a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The pu

53、rpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousan

54、dth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for th

55、e hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as its possible to be an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends

56、.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fiftytwo now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When h

57、e was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences two or three months sometimes were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it

58、could all be handled somehow. It couldnt when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didnt work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didnt stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later

59、 and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.56. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham Washington 11 Puget Sound U.S Route 20 U.S Route 2 DuluthB. U.S. Route 2 Bellingham Washington 11 Puget Sound U.S Route 20 DuluthC. U.S. Route
