D．WillThisSuperGreenBuildingBeCopied?【答案】12．D13．A14．C15．D【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要是先介绍了西雅图一栋超级环保的新建筑的相关特色，从而提出潜在的质疑和探讨未来类似环保建筑的发展前景。12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Thestaircaseencouragesexerciseandtheconcepthelpscutdownonenergyuse.(楼梯鼓励锻炼，这个概念有助于减少能源消耗)”可知，设计师对该栋建筑中楼梯的设计，是出于鼓励锻炼和减少能源消耗的目的。故选D。13．推理判断题。根据第三段“Ithaseyes,ears,anervoussystemandabrainanditrespondstoitsenvironmentinawaythatseekstooptimize(优化)things(它有眼睛、耳朵、神经系统和大脑，并以一种寻求优化事物的方式对环境做出反应)”可推知，BullittCenter仿佛是一个活的有机体一样。故选A。14．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ifthisbuildingisn’treproducible,thenthisexperimentwillhavefailed,saysRogers.Butifitissuccessful,he’soptimisticotherswillfollowthefoundation’slead.(罗杰斯说，如果这个建筑不能复制，那么这个实验就失败了。但如果它成功了，他乐观地认为其他人会跟随基金会的脚步)”可推知，该栋环保建筑的复制推广是至关重要的。故选C。15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Oneoftheworld’sgreenestofficebuildingswillformallyopenitsdoorsthisweek.It’saprojectoftheenvironmentallyprogressiveBullittFoundation.Itsambitionisbold:toshowcaseanentirelyself-sustainingofficebuildinghopingthatotherswillcreatesimilarprojects.(世界上最环保的办公大楼之一将于本周正式对外开放。这是环保进步组织布利特基金会的一个项目。它的野心是大胆的：展示一个完全自给自足的办公大楼，希望其他人也能创造出类似的项目)”结合本文主要是先介绍了西雅图一栋超级环保的新建筑的相关特色，从而提出潜在的质疑和探讨未来类似环保建筑的发展前景。D项“超级绿色建筑会被复制吗？”最具概括性，可以统摄全文。故选D。TheImportanceofBeingIndependentTheabilitytobeindependentissomethingnoteveryonepossesses.16Andlearningtosupportyourselfisfundamentalforanysuccessyoueverhopetoachieve.Attheendoftheday,youonlyhaveyourselftofallbackon,soit’sveryimportanttobeabletohandlethingsonyourown.Peoplerelyonothersfarmorethanitisnecessary.Peopleputtheirhappinessinthehandsofasignificantperson,thinkingthiswillbringthemsatisfaction.17Shouldyoualwaysbedependentonsomeoneelse?Ofcoursenot.18Therefore,youneedtolearnhowtomakedecisionsonyourown.Peopleareunabletobeindependentforavarietyofreasons,withfearbeingthebiggest:thefearofbeingalone,thefearofrejectionandthefearofthefuture.However,thereisnoreasontobaseyourlifedecisionsonrelationshipswithpeople.Allrelationshipsendatsomepointoranother.19Theonlythingyoucandoisalteryourunderstandingofrelationships.Insteadofexpectingthemtomakeyouhappybybeinginyourlifeandprovidingenjoyment,appreciatethetimespentandenjoymentsinceyouknowitwillbegone.20Don’taskforadvice,dowhatyouwantandlearnfromyourownmistakes.Manypeopleareafraidtothinkforthemselvesbecausethatinvolvestakingresponsibilityfortheirownlives.Thisisjustonewaypeoplebecomedependent.Wearebornaloneandwediealone,soweeachhavetotakeresponsibilityforourlivesateverystepalongtheway.A．Thereisnothingyoucandotochangeoraffectthat.B．Thisisaseriouserrortoomanypeoplemakethesedays.C．Makedecisionsbyandforyourself,whatevertheymaybe.D．Youcancontrolyourownlifebymakingyourownchoices.E．However,youneedtobeindependentinordertosurviveintheworld.F．Inanymomentofdecision,thebestthingyoucandoiswaitfortherighttime.G．Notonlyareyoulimitingyourself,youarealsolikelytobecomeaburdentothisperson.【答案】16．E17．B18．G19．A20．C【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“独立”的重要性进行论述，阐述了独立对于个人成长和成功的重要性。16．根据空前“Theabilitytobeindependentissomethingnoteveryonepossesses.(独立的能力不是每个人都具备的。)”可知，不是每个人都具备独立的能力。而空后“Andlearningtosupportyourselfisfundamentalforanysuccessyoueverhopetoachieve.(学习支持自己是你想要获得成功的基础。)”可知，独立是成功的基础。选项E“However,youneedtobeindependentinordertosurviveintheworld.(然而，为了在这个世界上生存，你需要独立。)”承上启下，与上文存在转折关系，指的是虽然不是每个人都具备独立的能力，但是我们必须独立才能生存，同时引出下文，指出我们应该学会独立。故选E。17．根据空前“Peoplerelyonothersfarmorethanitisnecessary.Peopleputtheirhappinessinthehandsofasignificantperson,thinkingthiswillbringthemsatisfaction.(人们对别人的依赖远远超过了必要的程度。人们把自己的幸福交到重要的人手里，以为这会给他们带来满足。)”可知，人们总是过度依赖别人。而根据下文“Shouldyoualwaysbedependentonsomeoneelse?

Ofcoursenot.(你应该一直依赖别人吗？当然不是。)”可判断，总是依赖他人是不对的。选项B“Thisisaseriouserrortoomanypeoplemakethesedays.(这是现在很多人犯的严重错误。)”是上文内容的总结，指出人们总是过度依赖他人，这是错误的。故选B。18．根据空前内容“Shouldyoualwaysbedependentonsomeoneelse?Ofcoursenot.(你应该一直依赖别人吗？当然不是。)”可知，我们不应该总是依赖别人。选项G“Notonlyareyoulimitingyourself,youarealsolikelytobecomeaburdentothisperson.(你不仅限制了自己，还可能成为对方的负担。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是如果我们总是依赖别人，我们不但限制了自己还可能成为对方的负担。故选G。19．根据空前内容“However,thereisnoreasontobaseyourlifedecisionsonrelationshipswithpeople.Allrelationshipsendatsomepointoranother.(然而，没有理由把你的人生决定建立在与人的关系上。所有的关系都有结束的时候。)”可知，所有的关系都有结束的时候；而根据下文“Theonlythingyoucandoisalteryourunderstandingofrelationships.(你唯一能做的就是改变你对人际关系的理解。)”可知，对于“所有的关系都有结束的时候”这件事，我们是无法改变的。选项A“Thereisnothingyoucandotochangeoraffectthat.(你无法改变或影响这一点。)”承上启下，承接上文说明我们无法改变这一点，引出下文，我们只有改变自己对人际关系的理解。故选A。20．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Don’taskforadvice,dowhatyouwantandlearnfromyourownmistakes.Manypeopleareafraidtothinkforthemselvesbecausethatinvolvestakingresponsibilityfortheirownlives.Thisisjustonewaypeoplebecomedependent.Wearebornaloneandwediealone,soweeachhavetotakeresponsibilityforourlivesateverystepalongtheway.(不要寻求建议，做你想做的，从自己的错误中吸取教训。许多人害怕独立思考，因为这涉及到为自己的生活负责。这只是人们变得依赖的一种方式。我们孤独地出生，孤独地死去，所以我们每个人都必须为自己生命中的每一步负责。)”可知，在本段中，作者建议我们做自己想做的，为自己的每一步负责。选项C“Makedecisionsbyandforyourself,whatevertheymaybe.(自己做决定，不管决定是什么。)”与本段内容相符，指出对于自己的人生，我们应该做出自己的决定。故选C。二、完形填空Iwastenwhenmymotherwasdiagnosedwithcancer.Priortothat,shehadbeena(n)21woman,activetoanextentmostpeoplefoundastonishing.Asachild,Iwasamazedbyheraccomplishments.Butatthirty-one,herlife22.Andsodidmine.Shecoulddoanything,I23.Shewontennistournaments.Shetookphotographsandheldherownexhibition.She24asanewspapercolumnist,andshecookedSpanishdishesforthefamily.Now,shefacedherillnesswiththesame25.Wordslike“disabled”and“physicaltherapy”becamepartofa(n)26newworldweenteredtogether.27,Ibegantohelptakecareofher.Anditbecameroutineto28herintothekitchen,wheresheinstructedmeinthe29ofpeelingcarrotsandpotatoesandhowtoprepareadecentbreakfast.Everyaccomplishmentwasa30forusboth:theelectrictypewriter,thecarwithpowersteeringandbrakes,herreturnto31,wheresheearnedamaster’sdegreeinspecialeducation.SheeventuallyfoundedanactivistsupportgroupcalledTheHandicappers.Oneday,without32muchbeforehand,shetookmetoaHandicappersmeeting.Ihadneverseensomanypeoplewithsomany33.Ireturnedhome,thinkinghow34wereallywere.Becausemymotheracceptedherconditionwithsuchoptimism,Irarelyfeltsadorresentfulaboutit.Instead,IviewedherdrivetolookforwardtothingsI35asagreatmysteryandpowerfulinspirationinmylife.21．A．gentle
