Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it's the recorded message or the guard's message, few people listen to it, because it's often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!     Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you'll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all's right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you're going. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”     Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard's excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the gua - 23 - / 23‎ rd on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.” I said.     There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that accumulate from thanking people for something they've done, particularly when it's not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home? ‎ ‎21.Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements? ‎ A. The messages are unattractive.                         B. The guard's voice is not clear. C. They usually feel sleepy.                                   D. They are absorbed in books. ‎ ‎22. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 mean? ‎ A. Patient.                           ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ B. Cautious.                            C. Surprised.                        D. Excited.‎ ‎23. What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home? ‎ A. The beautiful weather.                                      B. The recorded message. C. The train from Penrith.                                     D. The unexpected appreciation. ‎ ‎24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ‎ A. An Intelligent Guard.                                        B. A Boring Train Story. C. A Different Train Announcement.                    D. A Lovely Morning in Sydney. ‎ B Revolutionary TV Ears     TV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume (音量) and now it's better and more affordable than ever!

This advertisement is made more believable by       . ‎ A. using recommendations                                  B. offering reasons for this invention C. providing statistics                                           D. showing the results of experiments ‎ C ‎   In 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco-social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable(可持续的), self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called 'just a big, wet desert'.     'They always put social experiments in the easiest places,' Lugari said.'We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it any - 23 - / 23‎ where.'     'Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas,' wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.     Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.     The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the 'inventor of the world'.     A new study by a team of researchers has found that 'nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests'.     Considering this disturbing fact—and as the wor - 23 - / 23‎ ld population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase the planet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different. ‎ 28. Before the year 1971,________. ‎ A. ‎ there was never any rain in Gaviotas ‎ B. Gaviotas was one of the hardest places to live on the planet C. scientists did many social experiments in Gaviotas        ‎ D. Lugari often visited Gaviotas ‎29. Gaviotas has developed into a sustainable, self-sufficient village thanks to________. ‎ A. the government's great support                     B. people's organic farming C. Lugari's great contribution                              D. the United Nations' research ‎ ‎30. The fourth paragraph is intended to tell us ________. ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ A. the income of people in Gaviotas                   B. the public security situation of Gaviotas C. the rainforest species in Gaviotas                   D. the living conditions of people in Gaviotas ‎ ‎31. What is the passage mainly about? ‎ A. A village that reinvented the world.                B. A person who planted many trees. C. How a small village turned into a business center.          D. The importance of protecting the environment. ‎ D     The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating methods as the termite mound (白蚁堆).    ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building is the country's largest commercial and shopping complex（综合楼）but uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5 million on a 36 million building because air conditioning didn't have to be equipped.     The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans take fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fortyeight brick chimneys.     During summer's cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.     This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level, and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings---days as warm as 31 °C commonly drop to 14°C at night. “You couldn't do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.     The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 °C and 25 °‎ - 23 - / 23‎ C, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. ‎ 32. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? ‎ A. It was designed in a smaller size.                     B. No air conditioners were fixed in. C. Its heating system was less advanced.            D. It used rather different building materials. ‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? ‎ A. Fresh air from outside.                                     B. Heat in the building. C. A hollow space.                                                 D. A baseboard vent. ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎34. Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficiently in New York? ‎ A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.            B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air. C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.           D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily. ‎ ‎35. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature control system       . ‎ A. allows a wide range of temperatures             B. functions well for most of the year C. can recycle up to 30% of the air                     D. works better in hot seasons ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Tips for protecting your eyes during the winter     We usually worry about staying warm during the winter months, and think less about protecting our eyes.____36____.
