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, buildings account for(占了) 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green buildings 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 the project manager 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 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the lace(邊) of the building we have solar panels 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 by 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.”
1.A green building is often built on an area of land________.
A. which has thick forests around
B. which has already been developed for building
C. where people of high income live
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
2.When Holowka says in the last paragraph, "It's going to be big", she means that green buildings________.
A. will be more comfortable
B. will take the place of traditional buildings
C. will become popular in the future
D. will be more environmentally friendly
3.What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U. S.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
C. Green buildings help save environment.
D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
4.Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. The Solaire can reduce the impact of the building on the land.
B. Everyone is not eager to move into a green building.
C. Marty Dettling has come up with the idea of green buildings.
D. In the U.S, buildings consume(消耗) more than half of the total electricity.

If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan or Raina. They recently donated (捐贈) blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home: they visited an animal bloodmobile.
Like the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania’s traveling vet lab goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. The bloodmobile makes weekly rounds through Philadelphia and New Jersey.
Like humans, not every dog is qualified(合格的) to donate blood. The dogs are examined for health first. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be under 8 year old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints(品脫) a year, which can help animals suffering from illness like cancer or an accident like being hit by a car.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. She said she wouldn’t have taken the dog to Penn Vet’s animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far from her home. “I was very, very excited that she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out,” said Lucas. “We’ll surely do it again.”
Just like people, the donors get a snack and a heart-shaped sticker immediately after giving. What’s more, they receive dog food to take home.
If dogs are doing what they can to save other dogs, why can’t we do it to save other people? Next time you hesitate(猶豫) over whether to donate blood or not, think of the dogs.
1.The writer mentions Rover, Glow, Ivan and Raina in Para. 1 mainly because _________.
A. they are man’s best friends.
B. they are common names for dogs.
C. they get along well with other dogs.
D. they have donated blood to other dogs.
2.What do we know about the traveling vet lab?
A. It is a Red Cross vehicle.
B. It collects dogs’ blood for other dogs.
C. It travels through Philadelphia every day.
D. It was donated by the University of Pennsylvania.
3.What can we learn from Para.4?
A. Sandy Lucas is unwilling to let her dog donate blood.
B. The bloodmobile welcomes dogs from anywhere in the city.
C. Penn Vet’s animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia is popular.
D. The animal bloodmobile has made it easier for dogs to donate blood.
4.By writing the last paragraph, the author wants to ________.
A. ask us to help dogs.
B. show the importance of dogs.
C. encourage us to donate blood.
D. compare humans with dogs.

It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests glass a day could form part a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.
Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機制)relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and a enot stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.
1.The passage is mainly for those__________.
A. who produce wine
B. who have a drinking habit
C. who go on a diet
D. who are eager to lose weight
2.The underlined phrase“ in moderation” in the first paragraph means_________.
A. excitedly B. carefully
C. frequently D. properly
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.
B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.
C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.
D .The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.
4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. How to do some easy experiments.
B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.
C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.
D. How to make wine in a healthy way.

Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones(黃酮), substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.
Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神經(jīng)學(xué)) at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.
The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules. The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo(安慰劑).
Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract(提取)may be developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.
1.What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study?
A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.
B. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.
C. They were given capsules containing flavones.
D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.
2.What's the similarity of the two experiments?
A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.
B. The number of the subjects is the same.
C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.
D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.
3.Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?
A. To carry out the experiment further.
B. To prove the first experiment is wrong.
C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.
D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.
B. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.
C. The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.
D. It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.

On the day after Thanskgiving in the US, or Black Friday, lots of stores offer special discounts to mark the beginning of holiday shopping season. In China, a similar day falls on Nov. 11 when millions of Chinese shoppers go to Tmall.com and Taobao.com, two e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba.
The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, is also known in China as Singles Day. The shopping festival first started in 2009 and Alibaba said it chose the date because it was easy to remember. Last year, Tmall and Taobao together produced 19.1 billion in sales on that day, according to Alibaba. This year’s shopping festival kicked off with an even stronger start—sales hit 100 million yuan 55 seconds after midnight and reached 35 billion at the end of the day.
The shopping spree(狂歡) drew the attention of China’s leaders, as Premier Li Keqiang recently praised Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, for creating a day for consumption. China is trying to lead the country’s economy to a slower, more sustainable(可持續(xù)的)growth model based on domestic (國內(nèi)的) consumption instead of investment and exports. Online shopping is no doubt a growth point that will release spending potential. China had 564 million regular Internet users by the end of last year. It has surpassed the US to become the world’s largest e-commerce market, with its online sales over 1 trillion US dollars (6 trillion yuan) by 2020.
“The real-time nature of online consumption attracts millions of people to spend money and enjoy life. E-commerce opens a new channel for China to encourage domestic demand,” Liu Yin, vice-president of the China International Electronic Commerce Center said. More importantly, it promotes employment and the logistics (物流) industry with its sales model of “online purchasing plus express delivery”, he added. Convenience, choice and low prices have increased online shopping, but there are still some problems with the one-day shopping spree.
Some online shops, driven by the huge profits, took this opportunity to play price tricks. They raised prices to twice those of the originals in the early October and then offered discounts on Nov 11. Many consumers, driven by the advantage they could take, just went along for the ride. “They spend lots of time online to check what to buy and are happy to get what they don’t really need at a lower price,” wrote Jia Ge, an Internet analyst, on his Sina weibo.
1.In the US, a holiday shopping season refers to _________.
A. a spree in a holiday like Thanksgiving
B. one of the four seasons in a year like spring
C. a shopping spree when stores offer special discounts
D. a holiday when people can relax themselves by shopping
2. In this year’s 11.11 Shopping Festival, Tmall and Taobao produced ______in all.
A. 19.1 billion yuan B. 100 million yuan
C. 35.1 billion yuan D. 35 billion yuan
3. What Liu Yin said is mainly about _______.
A. the advantages of e-commerce
B. the advantages of express delivery
C. the development of online shopping
D. the development of logistic industry
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. most online shops played price tricks on consumers to make huge profits
B. driven by the huge profits, many consumers bought what they didn’t really need
C. some prices of the goods were raised at first and sold at the original price on Nov. 11
D. many consumers were cheated by the online shops and bought unnecessary goods
