Do I start the washing machine in the afternoon or after 10 at night? How do I lower CO2 emissions (排放) by the way I use energy?Answers to such and similar questions are provided by the online game “RED” which is the short form for “Renewable Energy Drama”. Researchers from IDMT in Erfurt, Germany, have developed the Web application. They investigate how consumers of energy can be inspired to make best use of the energy gained from renewable resources. The experts see great potential in online games for teaching the subject of “Saving electricity at home” in an entertaining manner and to show that ones own behavior can affect how much electricity costs.The software is aimed at adults and young people interested in renewable energies who want to know how they can save energy. “How much energy do individual household appliances consume, which ones are the energy robbers and are the high bills the results of price increases or are the uplights that are always on the reason for the high bills RED supplies the answers. The user does not even have to spend a great deal of time, for the game takes only about 10 to 15 minutes，” says a researcher.RED leads you through the daily life of an imaginary family of three. The screen shows all the rooms in a house. The user goes into each room and is able, via mouse click, to do the regular housework such as cooking food or doing laundry. If he, for example, clicks on the washing machine, an information box supplies him with information about CO2 emissions and the electricity costs for a load of laundry when the machine is full, three quarters full or half full, and it calculates how much this would cost per year.In a second module, the online game informs the users how they can save electricity by using “Smart Meters”. Taking the time of day into account, they measure the exact actual usage of electricity. This is how the consumers can find out the potential for savings and start his dishwasher only at night when electricity is particularly cheap. They also find out when energy from renewable resources, ecoelectricity, is cheap.The “Saving electricity at home” module will go online soon and so will the second RED module, “Saving electricity with Smart Meters.” The online game can be played at www.residensprojekt.de and is free of charge.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了一款旨在帮助使用者节能的在线游戏。21What do we know about RED?AIt is a free online game. BIt is designed for students.CIt has already gone online. DIt takes as long as ten minutes.解析：选A细节理解题。由第二段中的“the online game RED”以及最后一段中的“The online game . is free of charge”可知A项正确。22Consumers may learn from RED that _.Ait is better to do laundry in the afternoonBelectric kettles are the energy robbersCelectricity is the cheapest at nightDecoelectricity is always cheap解析：选C细节理解题。由第五段中的“start his dishwasher only at night when electricity is particularly cheap”可知C项正确。23The author develops Paragraph 4 mainly by _.Alisting reasons Busing quotationsCmaking comparisons Dgiving examples解析：选D写作手法题。本文第四段主要采取列举事例的方式说明RED是如何运作的。24What does the underlined word “they” most probably refer to?AUsers. BConsumers. CResearchers. DMeters.解析：选D代词指代题。上句提到这款游戏通过电表帮助使用者节能，故此处指电表可以准确地测量到实际的耗电量以提醒他们采取措施节约用电。BWhen was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? Its happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasnt my friends talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didnt have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying, “I see you, honey. Its going to be okay.”Just last year, I was running a halfmarathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting_the_wall”. I thought I couldnt move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “Whats your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, lets go! Come on! Its just around the corner! You can do it！” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasnt even supposed to be in the race that day.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?语篇解读：意外受到陌生人的帮助，会让你永记一生。25Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AThe kindness of strangersBValuable friendshipCTwo special experiencesDHelping others is worthwhile解析：选A标题归纳题。文章第一段引出主题，询问是否有陌生人曾经“unexpectedly did something nice for you”，然后下文讲述了自己的两段相关的经历，故文章的主要内容是讲述陌生人的帮助的。26According to the passage, the man in white _.Awas the authors friendBhad a big meal in the restaurantCwas generous and kindheartedDenjoyed making fun of others解析：选C推理判断题。从第三段的描述可知这位穿白衣的人与作者不相识，看到作者难过就为他们付了钱，他是一个慷慨、善良的人。27The underlined expression in the passage means “_”Abeing hurt by the wallBwinning the gameCtaking a deep breathDrunning out of energy解析：选D词义猜测题。由画线部分前面的“. I was out of gas. Runners call it . ”可知，画线部分与“I was out of gas”表达相似的意思。28A stranger helped the author during a halfmarathon by _.Agiving her a bottle of waterBaccompanying and encouraging herCshowing her the right wayDkeeping her cool and awake解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段的“he ran with me until . I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement .”可知答案。COver ten years ago, Americas National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) began to study creativity and aging. The NEA, the National Institutes of Health and four other programs launched (发起) the Creativity and Aging study. It examined the effect of participatory (参与的) art programs on the physical and mental health of older individuals.The study took place in three parts of the country, including Washington, DC. More than 100 older adults from the Washington area were taught to sing and perform together.Jeanne Kelly directed the singing program. She says the study found that those working with her were happier than the inactive adults. The singers also took fewer medicines and visited the doctor less. And they had fewer falls because their bodies were strengthened.What began as a study has grown into the Encore Creativity for Older Adults program. The program now has more than 550 participants. The average age is 73, but some of the individuals are 90 years old or older.“Some of our singers have sung their entire life. Some havent sung for 40 years, because theyve been busy with a career, and theyve been busy raising families. And then some have never sung，” Jeanne Kelly said.There are now eleven choral groups in the Washington area and one in Ohio. The eleven groups all study the same song, which makes it easy when a performance date nears. They can be combined into a larger group if the theater or concert hall is very large. After the concert season, Jeanne Kelly directs two summer programs in New York and Maryland. Singers have only four days to learn five songs before they perform in public.82yearold Jeanne Heather has attended the summer programs. She explains why she went.“Because its fun and because I learn so many things. They teach us here, not only about the music, but how to sing, and how to sing better. And they dont really get mad if you miss a note.”The Creativity and Aging study may have ended years ago, but the choral groups that were studied have continued and expanded.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一个通过教老人唱歌而使他们强身益寿的项目。29What do we know about the Creativity and Aging study?AIt was started by the National Institutes of Health.BIt aimed to study how to teach the elderly to sing.CIt mainly studied the older adults in Washington, DC.DIt found out that singing could make the elderly more optimistic.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第三段的“the study found that those working with her were happier than the inactive adults”可知，这项研究发现老人们通过唱歌变得比以前积极、乐观。30According to the text, members in the eleven choral groups _.Awill get punished if singing badlyBhave no experience in musicCare over 73 years oldDlearn the same song解析：选D细节理解题。根据第六段的“The eleven groups all study the same song”可知D项正确。31Jeanne Heather thinks the singing program _.AboringBcrazyChelpful Duseless解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“. because I learn so many things. They teach us here, not only about the music, but how to sing, and how to sing better.”可知，Jeanne Heather认为这个项目对她帮助很大。32Whats the best title for the text?AThe elderly prefer singingBElderly citizens sing for healthCElderly citizens perform in publicDSummer programs help the elderly out解析：选B标题归纳题。从文中的“the physical and mental health of older individuals, sing and perform”和“the choral groups . have continued and expanded”可推断，文章主要讲的是老年人通过唱歌改善自身的健康状况，因此B项作标题合适。DThe word “labyrinth”， or maze, refers to a complex structure of interconnecting passages through which it is difficult to find ones way. The most famous labyrinth is found in Greek mythology (神话). Designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Knossos to contain the fierce Minotaur (a halfman and halfbull monster), Daedalus labyrinth was so complex that he, himself, could hardly find his way through it and, having successfully done so, Minos put him and his son, Icarus, into prison in a high tower in case he told the secret of the maze. Daedalus and Icarus fled using the feathers of birds bound together by wax to form wings and fly from the tower. Sadly, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax of his wings, and fell into the sea to drown.The other wellknown labyrinth was a pyramid complex (金字塔群) of many courts in Egypt, built at Hawara for Amenemhet ， a ruler of the 12th Dynasty (18441797 BC). There were twelve separate courts of large size six in a row facing north, six south and all connected by corridors (走廊). Inside, the building was of two stories and contained about three thousand rooms, of which one half were underground, and the other half directly above them. The labyrinth was described by the Greek historian Herodotus, “The Egyptians in charge refused to let me see the underground ones, as they contain the tombs of the kings. I did actually see the upper rooms, and it is hard to believe that they are the work of men. The mysterious and complicated passages f
