consumers association (bca) recently shows about 80 percent of the 2,315 respondents in 23 residential complexes of beijing are dissatisfied with the soaring house prices. they think the reasonable price in beijing should be between 3,000 yuan and 7,000 yuan per square meter. the quality of the buildings, the surrounding environment and traffic and property management(物业管理)are the other factors

by“clean”energy. homes have entire roofs made of solar materials, rooms are kept warm by wallpaper, and people go to and from work in electric and hydrogen( 氢) cars. oil is still being found in the north sea, but its not now only used to keep aircraft flying. and a new 500-mile underwater link with iceland has been built to catch heat from the hot springs. theres still a role for king coalbut the black diamonds are now environment-friendly.people will be able to import the electricity they need and export any excess(超过的量) they make through rooftop windmills(风车). new technology will store

being told by someone else. most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch tv or read newspapers or magazines is passive. conditioned as we are to passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. it makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor（谣言）. did you ever play the game rumor? it begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. that person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. the last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. then the two written statements are compared. typically, the original message has changed. thats what happens in daily life. the simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. then, too, most people listen imperfectly. and many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. yet those who hear it think they know. this process is also found among scholars and authors: a statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts. 60. according to the passage, passive learning may occur in _. a. doing a medical experiment b. visiting an exhibitionc.solving a math problemd. doing scientific reasoning61. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _. a. communicationb. knowledge c. passive learningd. active learning62. the author mentions the game rumor to show that _. a. a message should be delivered in different waysb. a message may be changed when being passed onc. people may have problems with their sense of hearingd. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor63. what can we infer from the passage?a. active learning is less important. b. passive learning is not found among scholars.c. active learning occurs more frequentlyd. passive learning may not be reliable. eas kids, my friends and i spent a lot of time out in the woods. “the woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. if i went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “oh, hes out in the woods, ” with a tone（语气） of airy acceptance. it is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk. ” for us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while. we sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring（探索）. exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. history seemed to be mostly about explorers. our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an indian burial mound. often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. if you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. there were four or five trees
