was catching up on e-mails，selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. no bodyguard. not even a drop of make-up. she was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. elena was wearing bebe shorts. she had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.after making a small talk about what she wore for the shoot，she dived into the subject of her career. elena declared 2012 the year of movies. she filmed three：spring breakers，a drama；the getaway，an action flick；and hotel transylvania，a comedy. each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.now that her disney days are behind her，selena is at that unstable point in a child stars career where she is trying to grow upboth as a person(she turned 20 in july) and as an artist. “being part of the disney channel was such a blessing，and im super happy with what my show accomplished，but acting is something i would like to take on more seriously.” she continued，“i dont

satisfied with her shows in disney.cshe found her not accomplished in her performance in disney.dshe thought of playing in disney as a blessing.7the underlined word “uprooted” in the last paragraph probably means“_”apicked bmovedcchanged dinformedcmost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. we go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. the most popular leisure activity in britain is going for a walk. when joggers jog，they dont run on the streets. every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.but despite this，our children are growing up nature-deprived. i spent my boyhood climbing trees. these days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found.the truth is to be found elsewhere. a study in the us：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for adhdattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症)those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.adhd is one of the great problems of modern childhood. one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to adhd children. however，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.the life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. the increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. and study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.we need the wild world. it is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness.8according to the author，people enjoy _to seek nature.ajogging on the streetbsitting in the gardencshopping in the supermarketdrunning in the gym9from the second paragraph，we can see that_.aadults deprive the children of their rights to approach naturebchildren probably spend less time in nature nowadays cclimbing trees will certainly do good to the childrendchildren tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction10in what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?achildren with adhd can be cured.bproblems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.ca garden nearby improves the quality of old peoples life.dchildrens performance at school is greatly improved.11what is the main idea of this passage?aaccess to nature improves our life.bnature treats children with adhd.cgetting close to nature reduces crime.dman cant live without natural areas.dthese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices.green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”，taryn holowka of the us green building council (评议会) in washington，d.c.，said. according to holowka，building accounts for 65 percent of total us 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 dont destroy forests.marty dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. the solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. according to dettling，“weve 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 face of the building we have solar panels (光板) which change the suns 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，“its going to be big.”12a green building means_.aa building that uses no electricityba building occupying less land ca building that saves energy and waterda green-colored building13a green building is often built on an area of land_.awhich has already been for buildingsbwhich has thick forests aroundcwhere people of high income livedwhere traveling around by car is most convenient14when holowka says in the last paragraph，“its going to be big”，she means that green buildings_.awill be more comfortablebwill be more environmentally friendlycwill take the place of traditional buildings dwill become popular in future15which is the main idea of the passage?athe solaire serves as a model of high buildings.benergy shortage calls for buildings of new design.cgreen buildings help save the environment.ddettling designed the first green building in the us.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。questions to ask
