The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers( 内裤；衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.Katie From America I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldnt find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.David From Britain When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使.明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!Tom From America Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle and there turned out (结果是；证明是)to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire pany and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.Mary From Britain21.David went out to find a phone box to _.Aphone the police for help Bphone his friend for helpCtell his friends he couldnt go to visit her Dapologize for his being late22.When Tom asked for the “restroom”, the people around him thought _.Ahe wanted to have a rest. Bhe wanted the toiletChe wanted a chair DHe wanted to go to a department store23.Which of the following words is from British English？APants. BGround floor. CRestroom. DTrunk.BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. Thisnatural lawcan be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving. House-building bees a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The fashions for their houses. C. The energy for their houses. D. The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by _.A. living on the second floor with their livestockB. protecting their livestock from the coldC. sharing their houses only with their cowsD. keeping their livestock downstairs26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _. A. heat goes in the upward direction B. heat raises the temperature in the houses C. heat goes down if temperature is raised D. heat increases the temperature of rocks27. What does the author intend to tell us?A. people will no longer consider building materials in the future B. energy-saving buildings will bee more popular in the future C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyC Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called posting(堆制肥料).Food waste that can be posted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be posted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups, posting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and posted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When post is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager said.Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for posting. Many schools and colleges have also started posting programs.Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the posting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they dont have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.28. What do we know about posting from the text?A. It is cheap to post food wasteB. Not all food waste can be reusedC. Not all soil can be postedD. It is usually processed in empty landfills29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Ways of keeping nutrients in the soilB. Ways of reducing the amount of trashC. Benefits of recycling food wasteD. Examples of different useful nutrients30. In Seattle, throwing food waste into garbage is .A. illegal B. Shameful C. required D. acceptable31. Patti Fergusons attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably .A. thankful B. Supportive C. uncaring D. NegativeD If your job requires a lot of sitting, you could be putting your health at danger.The American Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation (相互联系) between sitting and an individuals physical health. In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.Well, nows a fine time to get this information. But why didnt they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:Take frequent breaks. It is remended that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.32. According to the text, the study in 2010 _.A. found men reporting shorter sitting time than womenB. surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting timeC. identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-upD. discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women33. We can infer from the text that the author did not remend _.A. using a standing desk B. resting ones musclesC. quitting sedentary jobs D. taking a walk while discussing34. What does the underlined word subjects in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Things being discussed. B. People being studied.C. Areas of knowledge being learned. D. Objects being painted.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Your job could be killing you.B. Working out leads to health risks.C. Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.D. A study on sitting time and physical health was pleted.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you still remember the haze (雾霾) in the winter?
