2.Many lifestyle patterns do such great harm to health that they actually speed up weakening
of the human body.
A.a; / B./; the C.a; the D./; /
答案：B
解析：本題考查冠詞。句意：許多生活方式對(duì)人類的健康有害，他們加速了人類身體的衰退。本題考查冠詞，對(duì)……有害用短語(yǔ)“do harm to”表示，中間無(wú)需冠詞；之后的weakening是由動(dòng)詞的ing形式表示抽象的名詞，表達(dá)一種概念、狀況時(shí)需要加上the。
3.The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people, many of left their village homes for a better life in the city.
A.whom B.which C.them D.those
答案：A
解析：本題考查定語(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)詞。由many之后的逗號(hào)和選項(xiàng)特征，此處是主從句關(guān)系，排除C、D項(xiàng)。由于先行詞是“1,000 people”，表示人，故用whom。句意為：這里居住著將近1000人，他們中的許多人都背井離鄉(xiāng)去城市追求更好的生活。
4.The majority of people in the town strongly the plan to build a playground for children.
A.consider B.support C.confirm D.submit

5.If you plant watermelon seeds in the spring, you fresh watermelon in the fall.
A.eat B.would eat C.have eaten D.will be eating
答案D
解析：本題考查條件句的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)句意：如果你在春天種下西瓜種子，你會(huì)在秋天吃到新鮮的西瓜?？梢耘袛噙@是真實(shí)的條件從句，會(huì)發(fā)生的事情，所以選擇will be eating表將來(lái)。

A.accurate B.ridiculous C.urgent D.shallow www.ks*5u.co
答案：A

8.The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if regularly, can improve our health.
A.being carried out B.carrying out C.carried out D.to carry out
答案：C
解析：本題考查if條件句中的省略情況。本句的句子的主語(yǔ)是the experiment；謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是shows；that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，賓語(yǔ)從句的主干事：proper amounts of exercise can improve our health，if_____ regularly是插入的條件從句，從句的主語(yǔ)是proper amounts of exercise，此時(shí)應(yīng)用it代替前面提到的主語(yǔ)，條件句的主語(yǔ)與主句的主語(yǔ)一致，并且含有is，故省略了it is，完整形式是：if it is carried out。句意為：這項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，適當(dāng)?shù)倪\(yùn)動(dòng)，如果有規(guī)律的進(jìn)行，能夠有助于我們的身體健康。
9.It is uncertain side effect the medicine will bring about, although about two thousand patients have taken it.
A.that B.whatwww.ks*5u.co C.how D.whether
答案：B

10.Had I known about this computer program, a huge amount of time and energy .
A.would have been saved B.had been saved
C.will be saved D.was saved
答案： A
解析：本題考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。根據(jù)句子的倒裝特征判斷此處是省略了if的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，原形是：If I had known about this computer program, a huge amount of time and energy .故選擇A。句意為：如果我早知道這個(gè)電腦程序，就可以節(jié)省大量的時(shí)間和精力了。
11.Do you think shopping online will take the place of shopping in stores?
A.especially B.frequently C.merely D.finally
答案：D

www.ks*5u.co— She is willing to play against any tough players.
A.I think so. B.I’m not surprised. C.Of course. D.Not likely!
答案：D
解析：本題考查交際用語(yǔ)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境：“她會(huì)介意與她之前的隊(duì)友們對(duì)壘嗎？”“她喜歡與任何強(qiáng)勁的選手比賽。”分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng)：I think so.我想是這樣的。I’m not surprised.一點(diǎn)也不奇怪。Of course.當(dāng)然。Not likely!（大概）不會(huì)。此處表示不介意，所以選擇D。
14. that’s important is that you are doing your best and moving in the right direction.
A.One B.All C.Everything D.Anything
答案：B
解析：本題考查不定代詞。分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境：重要的是你正在努力并且朝著正確的方向前行。從而判斷此處選擇all意思最合適。
15.For many years, people electric cars. However, making them has been more difficult than predicted.
A.had dreamed of B.have dreamed of C.dreamed of D.dream of
答案：B
解析：本題考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)句意：許多年來(lái)，人們都一直夢(mèng)想著電動(dòng)汽車。然而，制造它們比想象要難得多。由此，推斷此處的夢(mèng)想從過(guò)去到現(xiàn)在，并由此延伸。目前，市場(chǎng)上已經(jīng)有了電動(dòng)汽車，所以應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。
16. The school advisers help you talk through your problem but they don’t give you any direct ______.
A. solution B. target C. measure D. function
答案：A
解析：本題考查名詞辨析。分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng)：solution解決方法；target目標(biāo)；measure措施；function功能。根據(jù)句意：學(xué)校的建議者們幫助你分析問(wèn)題，但是他們不會(huì)給你直接的解決方法。
17. “You ____ have a wrong number,” she said. “There’s no one of that name here.”
A. need B. can C. must D. would

19. Playing on a frozen sports field sounds like a lot of fun. Isn’t it rather risky, ____?
A. though B. also C. either D. too
答案：A
解析：本題考查副詞辨析。根據(jù)句意：在冰場(chǎng)上玩耍聽(tīng)起來(lái)很有趣。然會(huì)不會(huì)有危險(xiǎn)呢？
前后兩句之前是明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇though。
20. The traffic rule says young children under the age of four and ____ less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat.
A. being weighed B. to weigh C. weighed D. weighing
答案：D
解析：本題考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)：主語(yǔ)：the traffic rule；謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞：says；賓語(yǔ)從句：young children under the age of four and ____ less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat。賓語(yǔ)從句中的主干為：young children must be in a child safety seat。under the age of four and ____ less than 40 pounds用于修飾賓語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)children。動(dòng)詞weigh與名詞children是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以選擇weighing。句意：交通法則規(guī)定四歲以下并且體重不超過(guò)四十磅的嬰兒必須坐在嬰兒安全座上。

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _21_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 22 ?” Just when I started to 23 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 26 . Somebody had thought 27 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 28 Christmas there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 30 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤兒) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 32 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn’t open their presents 35 every child had come forward. Finally the 36 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room. The 38 in the room was obvious, and 39 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 40 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

A.
When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted bit stripes (條紋) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring hack at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.
“Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
本篇文章是一篇記敘文。
41. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?
A. To introduce Stephanie to her. B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C. To put the materials back in the yard. D. To show his artwork to her.
答案：D
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece.”可知我當(dāng)時(shí)是很高興的想把我的杰作給母親看。所以選擇D。
42. In his mother’s eyes, the writer_______.
A. was a born artist B. always caused trouble
C. was a problem solver D. worked very hard
答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五、六段可以推斷出，母親特別反感作者的一些行為，所以很生氣，認(rèn)為她是一個(gè)麻煩制造者。
43. The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the rainbow in the sky B. the stripes on the pavement
C. something imaginative and fun D. important lessons learned in childhood
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段作者的感慨“to keep our hopes and dreams colorful”，可以推斷此時(shí)作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾經(jīng)畫過(guò)的街道上的彩虹，而是指自己的人生中的彩虹。
44. It can be learned from the passage that parents should ________.
A. encourage children to paint B. value friendship among children
C. discover the hidden talent in children D. protect rather than destroy children’s dreams
答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。從整篇文章開(kāi)頭敘述作者的開(kāi)心的畫彩虹的過(guò)程，到后來(lái)被母親要求把街道清洗干凈，到最后的感慨，表明作者寫作的最終想要表達(dá)的目的之一是：父母應(yīng)該支持孩子的某些創(chuàng)造性的行為，而不是一味的否定。
B.
University accommodation (住所) offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房東). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.
Property papers： Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (來(lái)源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website：
www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
本篇是一篇應(yīng)用文。介紹在倫敦留學(xué)的學(xué)生們住宿情況。
45. What is the advantage of using Loot?
A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.
C. Their website is designed mainly for students.
D. There are some good bargains.
答案：D
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。關(guān)于Loot，選擇相應(yīng)的部分，仔細(xì)閱讀，得知Loot的好處是：The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.即價(jià)格方面好商量。故選擇D。
46. A good agent can help you ____.
A. know more people B. find cheap accommodation
C. get the right accommodation quickly D. get free information about most accommodations
答案：C
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。涉及到agent，在“Accommodation agencies”部分尋找答案。根據(jù)“A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.”可知好的代理人，能聽(tīng)取意見(jiàn)，并節(jié)省時(shí)間尋找合適的住宿。故選擇C。
47. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because____.
A. it is better than that found through any other source
B. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C. the final year students always offer better information
D. the landlords have little valuable information
答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。在“Word of mouth”部分尋找答案?？趥鞯男畔⒑苤匾且?yàn)?#8220;is never advertised ；It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.”但是也有弊端，分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，只有B是正確的。
48. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?
A. University accommodation offices. B. Loot and Renting

The term “multitasking” originally referred to a computer’s ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises (大腦訓(xùn)練) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss.
In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex (前額葉腦皮層). Brian scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest” yourself if you’ve ever dialed (撥電話) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to anther thought or task, and then took that “moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency (效率) declines while multitasking, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time. k*s5u
Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people don’t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes.
We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names---even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.
本篇文章是一篇說(shuō)明文。
49. Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?
A. To make them more productive. B. To reduce their stress and anxiety.
C. To develop their communication skills. D. To help them perform daily tasks more easily.
答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，作者提出：“In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises (大腦訓(xùn)練) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time.”，之后用although引出轉(zhuǎn)折，這種訓(xùn)練有時(shí)并不能productive。所以選擇A。有部分人認(rèn)為這種大腦的訓(xùn)練能夠幫助他們高效的工作。
50. According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forget who has called?
A. He may leave his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.
B. He is probably interrupted by another task.
C. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.
D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking. k*s5u
答案：B
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。主要根據(jù)“this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks”，可以推斷出之后的“if you’ve ever dialed (撥電話) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered”的情況，所以選擇B。
51. People tend to make mistake when ____.
A. they perform several challenging tasks at a time.
B. new messages are processed one after another
C. their relationships with others are affected
D. the tasks require little thought
答案：A
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容，特別是最后一句話可知當(dāng)人在同時(shí)從事兩項(xiàng)或多項(xiàng)需要花費(fèi)精力的工作時(shí)，常常會(huì)出錯(cuò)。故選擇A。
52. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Multitasking has become a way of life.
B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.
C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.
D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.
答案：B
解析：主旨大意題。最后一段中作者繼續(xù)描述了之前的觀點(diǎn)：一個(gè)人同時(shí)從事多項(xiàng)工作會(huì)出現(xiàn)很多問(wèn)題?；氐秸恼?，作者主要觀點(diǎn)就是告訴大家：多項(xiàng)工作不能產(chǎn)生高效的結(jié)果，故選擇B。
D.
My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year they city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土機(jī)推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, “Why don’t they just leave it alone?”
Looking back, I think what sentenced the part to oblivion (別遺忘) was the drought (旱災(zāi)) we had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the tress, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.
There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park tress, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.
The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.

55. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?
A. The drought. B. The crime.
C. The beggars and the rubbish. D. The decisions of the city.
答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。從第五段，可以明顯的了解到：干旱結(jié)束了，但是政府仍然對(duì)公園不管不問(wèn)，而是要重新規(guī)劃這塊廢棄地，在作者眼中是“the city had planned to get rid of the park”。故選擇D。
56. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came, ______.
A. the situation would be much worse
B. people would have to desert their homes
C. the city would be fully prepared in advance
D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”
I looked across at the others： shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with： first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we think that new options(選擇) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。
57.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should
A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.
B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.
C. get more information about different companies. k*s5u
D. trust him and stop asking questions.
答案：B
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段作者與推銷員之間的對(duì)話，可以了解到，推銷員一直在勸說(shuō)作者試一下機(jī)器，并且與其他的機(jī)器進(jìn)行比較。故選擇B。
58. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it ”(paragraph 2)
A. He should get a 50% discount.
B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
C. The quality of the camera was not good.
D. The camera would soon fall in value.
答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。第二段開(kāi)頭，作者分析了在賣場(chǎng)，自己將會(huì)被各種照相機(jī)的種類，弄的不知如何選擇。但是“But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with”，最終我還是必須選擇一款，但是無(wú)論選擇哪一款都會(huì)有兩個(gè)必定的結(jié)果：（1）會(huì)立馬貶值。(2)會(huì)很快有新的產(chǎn)品。所以選擇D。
59. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he
A. knew very little about it.
B. didn’t trust the shop assistant. k*s5u
C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.
D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。閱讀第四段，可知作者經(jīng)過(guò)內(nèi)心的思量，明白最后還是得做決定，得買一款，所以還是需要作出明智的決定，就是試一下自己最初選擇那一款，從而確定自己的選擇。
60. I t can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, .
A. people waste too much money on cameras
B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product
D. famous companies care more about profit than quality
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。最后一段作者分析了人們?yōu)槭裁蠢鲜窍矚g新的事物，因?yàn)榕f的事物我們了解了，有局限性，而新的事物會(huì)帶給我們更多我們沒(méi)想到的。根據(jù)作者在購(gòu)物的過(guò)程中，最終選擇了試用自己最初的照相機(jī)，所以得出作者的觀點(diǎn)是：我們并不需要了解很多新的東西，只要達(dá)到自己的最初的要求就行。

65. Levin： Developing a new type of urban car which burns less gas
A
B
Vauban
We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestern Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths. When people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs. “All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city,” says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, “and it’s just how we wanted it to be.”
Denmark
During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient(自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way.
On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines(渦輪機(jī)) to produce their own energy, Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough electricity for 600 households?
C
D
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable(可持續(xù)的) castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.
“I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Michael Ruth, home designer and builder says. “For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost.”
P-NUT
Who doesn’t love the name P-NUT—short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport? It’s Honda’s latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle.
This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The 11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.
“The P-NUT concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle.” Said Dave Marek, a Honda design spokesman.
E
F
Israel Company
Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy?
Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generator(發(fā)電機(jī)) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale, in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor.
“We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste,” said Uri Amit, chairman of Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology.
Coffee
Coffee. Some of us can’t start our day without it, and we don’t mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it.
Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection.
Get a coffee machine for your home or coffee, or persuade your company into buying one. (Tell them it will improve productivity.) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet.
Plus, you won’t need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away. Better yet, use your favorite travel mug.
答案：61.F 62.E 63.A 64.C 65.D
解析：首先了解每個(gè)人的興趣是什么，然后分析A-F六個(gè)主題，從而可以得出A：創(chuàng)建一種車的俱樂(lè)部，大家共用，這樣會(huì)降低污染。B：用風(fēng)渦輪機(jī)制造能源。
