In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has. Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matterthe volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.51. What can be inferred about the author as a child?A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable. D. He considered reading part of his life.52. The underlined word voice in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.A. an idea B. a sound qualityC. a way of writingD. a world to write about 53. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream. B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting .D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.54. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A. Why do I read? B. How do I read? C. What do I read? D. When do I read?B Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new 47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the citys poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.Michael Bloomberg, New Yorks mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York Citys greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused by housing. So he recently announced that the citys Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the citys supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECPs green standards.Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New Yorks DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.55. What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?A. To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people. B. To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.C. To show how the environment-friendly building works.D. To compare old and new boiler rooms.56. What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards? A. Lower running costs. B. Costing less in construction. C. Less air to be lost in hot days .D. Better prices for homeless people.57. It can be learned from the text that_. A. New York City is seriously pollutedB. peoples daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York CityC. a great number of people in New York City dont have houses to live inD. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City58. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.B. To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.C. To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.D. To introduce healthy, environmentally clever-and affordable housing.C Alex London Research Laboratory (ALRL) is part of Alex Co, Ltd. a major Australian medicine-making company.

The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesmanThe spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”“Once they start attacking that far out，youre not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger iddleton“Once youre that far out，its just the Indian Ocean，and it means youre looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”This is the farthest robbing to dateThey are now operating near the Maldives and India, said another officerThe three ships-the MV Prantalay l l，12，and l 4had 77 members on board in totalAll of them are Thai, the spokesman saidBefore the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailorsPirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments.
