Generally, the decision on material choice depends on several factors including cost and performance for specific applications.Due to growing interest in sustainable(可持续的) development and various pushing measures provided by the Government of Malaysia, the key players in the construction industry are motivated more than ever before to use materials that are sustainable or in such a way that their environmental impact is minimal.In xx,the Malaysian government launched the Green Building Index(GBI) to encourage the construction of buildings using green technology, and introduced pushing measures for owners to obtain the GBI certificate for new or existing buildings. There have also been efforts to reduce air pollution and concrete has an important role to play.The new concrete can be produced using waste materials as one of its ponents. Green concrete can also be developed using various production processes that are not harmful to the environment. The use of recycled or waste materials can be considered sustainable as they can reduce costs and raw materials.5. Which of the following best describes green-mix concrete?A.

For me, happiness is horse riding, Cadbury Crme Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their paradise through traveling in far-off foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness es from spending time with loved ones; at other times, its having a quiet night at home, with nothing but a movie and a fortable bed for pany. Since it es in so many shapes and sizes, its sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told off for being late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, untimely illness or injury. . . all very frustrated and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy. Luckily, there are a few simple ways to make the glass seem half-full again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great mood-boosters. Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can bee happier through helping others. Last but not least, trying hugging on your way to happiness; its been suggested that we humans need at least five hugs a day. If youve been having a bad day, theres nothing better than a good old bear hug. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Happiness is getting what you need. B. Flowers can easily surprise someone.

About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a childs personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.” In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijings Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme Peoples Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in xx. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting munication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their childrens educational experience, as their presence and panionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects. 12.

The other reason is less obvious. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surfaceeither from the atmosphere, or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 17 Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. Thats because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting (融化) of glaciers, icebergs, and ice sheets. 18 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 19 Instead, more of the oxygen will remain near the surface, where it will be used up by oxygenbreathing organisms.A lowoxygen ocean may bee an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100. They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall, until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans, but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 20 A. Its not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.B. Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.C. Fresh waters inpouring will make the water at the oceans surface lighter.D. The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.E. Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.F. The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.G. If they are right, we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.二、 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空表出的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We usually tell ourselves that our life will be plete when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.The21 is, theres no better time to be 22than right now.If not now, when?
