, 2007 was a typical english summers day it rained for 24 hours! as usual, i rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. nothing was amiss. by the time i lift work at 5 pm, however, the road into our village was flooded . our house bad never been flooded but , as i opened the front door , a wave of water greeted me . thank god the kids werent with me , because the house was 5 feet deep in water . we lost everything downstairs. and the plaster had to be torn off the walls , ceilings pulled down .at first we tried to push on through. we didnt want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. we put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. but after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. the house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. the life there was inconvenient. what surprised me most was how much i missed being part of a community（社区）.we had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors , and id never thought how much id miss that . although-our situation was very bad, its difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at whats happening elsewhere. i watched a news report about floods in northern india and thought , “we didnt have a straw hut（茅草房）that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . were lucky .” we moved back home in august. with december coming, theres reconstruction work to be done, so its difficult to prepare for christmas . but i cant wait im going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support . this year , i wont need any gifts living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions . although we are replacing things , theres really no rush we have our home back , and thats the main thing .56. what does the underlined word “amiss” in the

valued human feelings more than before.b. she realized she almost didnt need possessions.c. she found christmas gifts no longer badly needed.d. she thought her own home was the most important.ba few years ago, paul gerner began to gather a group of architects in las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “i think half of then fell off their chairs,” gerner says.gerner manages school facilities (设施)for clark county, nevada, a district roughly the size of massachusetts. by 2018,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes (样品); they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. the district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.green schools are appearing all over , but in clark county, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because deign requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “one of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),” mark. mcginty, a director at sh architecture, says. his firm recently completed a high school in las vegas. “you have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “i dont believe in the new green religion,” gerner says. “some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. im interested in those that work.” but he wouldnt mind if some green features inspire students. he says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “you never know whats going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.60. how did the architects react to gerners design requirements?a. they lost balance in excitement. b. they showed strong disbelief.c. they expressed little interest. d. they burst into cheers.61. which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?a. assessmentprototypedesignconstruction. b. assessmentdesignprototypeconstruction.c. designassessmentprototypeconstruction.d. designprototypeassessmentconstruction.62. what makes it difficult to build green schools in clark county?a. the large size. b. limited facilities.c. the desert climate. d. poor natural resources.63. what dose gerner think of the ideas of green schools?a. they are questionable. b. they are out of date.c. they are advanced. d. they are practical.ca recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”, this idea is dangerous.science can be a force for evil as well as for good. its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. the decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. but here is a real danger. science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. and, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.some people go even further. they say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. they believe that science will get out of control in the end. this belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.in our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. take human cloning for example. despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. the outcomes are hard to predict.therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.64. what can we conclude from the recent study?a. people think highly of science.b. people hold mixed opinions about science.c. science is getting dangerously out of control.d. science is used for both good and bad purposes.65. according to the passage , what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?a. the development of science will hopelessly slow down.b. businesses will have even greater influence on science.c. the public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.d. people will work more actively to put science under control.66. the discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_a. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesb. the ties between different areas need strengtheningc. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienced. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science67. what is the main idea of the passage?a. science and its applications bring us many dangers.b. the development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.c. mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.d. the future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.dguatemala city（reuters）- a fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）across the
