driving home. i had a smile on my face as i sang along to the songs on the radio. it was such a beautiful day that i felt full of happiness. my good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. then suddenly i found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. i shook my head as i came to a red traffic light.as i pulled to a stop i noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. they were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. they looked rough and dangerous, but as i got closer i noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. i rolled down my window as one approached my car. “we are the brother of the wheel,” he said. “we are collecting money for christmas toy drive for needy children.” as i pulled a dollar out of my wallet, i looked past his beard and into his eyes. they shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. i dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as i drove off. my good mood had returned. my faith in mankind had been bolstered. and i remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.our society often judges books by their covers but god reads what is written in our hearts and souls. perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.41. the writers good mood ended when _.a. he learned a rich man was killed b. he had to stop at a red traffic lightc. the music program was interruptedd. he saw

green building have been established by governments and private organizations a green building means more than just the colour of the paint . green building also means the resource-efficient design , construction , and operation of houses , which highlights environmental quality . in other words , green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment . this requires close cooperation of the design team , the architects , the engineers , and the client at all project stages .green building means “ reducing the impact 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 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 dont destroy forests .marty dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action . the solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building . according to dettling , “ weve reduced 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 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 traditional energy sources . anyhow , holowka said , “ its going to be big . ”25. in the second paragraph , the underlined words “ the building ” most probably refer to _ . a.a building in washington , d.c.b. an energy-saving building c. a green-colored buildingd. an ordinary building26. a green building is often built on an area of land _ . a. which has already been used for buildings b. where people of high income live c. where traveling around by car is most convenient d. which has thick forests around27. when holowka says in the last paragraph , “ its going to be big ” , she means that green buildings _ . a. will be more comfortable b. will be more environmentally friendly c. will become popular in the future d. will take the place of traditional buildingsd text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the american association for public opinion research. “the preliminary（初步的）results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says fred conrad, a psychologist at the university of michigan institute for social research.“this is sort of surprising,” says conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”with text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”- a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “we believe people give more precise answers via texting because theres just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous（非同步的）mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says conrad. “as a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”conrad conducted the study with michael schober, a professor of psychology at the new school for social research. “were in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says schober. “but so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know its a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. what we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosive in text. is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”for the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iphone-users through google ads, offering them itunes store rewards to participate in the study. their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables(可变因素)whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers. 32. the underlined word “candid” in para.1 probably means . a. doubtful b. straightforward c. general d. imaginary33. we can learn from the passage that . a. people fond of text messaging are more honest b. different variables might affect the responses of messaging c. texting will give away less sensitive informationd. about 600 iphone users have been awarded itunes by researchers34. compared with phone interviews, texting has the advantage that people could _ . a. have more time to make a reply b. present their best to the interviewersc. pay less for sending a messaged. enjoy more freedom of speech35. which is the best title for the passage?a. texting downs responses b. texting exposes identityc. texting benefits interviewees d. texting ups truthfulness 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。creating a good study environment takes a little planning. it is well worth the time as the end result will be
