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 city’s 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 York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused by housing. So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards.‎ Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s 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 polluted ‎ B．people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in ‎New York City ‎ C．a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live in ‎ D．some other cities have developed more affordable housing than ‎New York City ‎58．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 spokesman.‎ The 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，you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia，”said an officer，Roger Middleton.“Once you're that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”‎ ‎ “This is the farthest robbing to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India”. said another officer.‎ The three ships—the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14—had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai，the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.‎ Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success ratehas gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.‎ ‎63．The pirate attack reported in the text happened 　　　　.‎ ‎ A．far out in the ‎Indian Ocean ‎ B．in the normal patrol area ‎ C．near the Somali coast ‎ D．in the south of ‎Africa ‎64．According to the text，which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems？‎ ‎ A．More goods on board are lost.‎ ‎ B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.‎ ‎ C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.‎ ‎ D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.‎ ‎65．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text？‎ ‎ A．The patrols are of little effect.‎ ‎ B．The patrols are more difficult.‎ ‎ C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.‎ ‎ D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.‎ ‎66．How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report？‎ ‎ A．228. B．77. C．383. D．305.‎ E ‎ Fear plays no part in this latest problem. “I’m not afraid I’ll lose my children. I won't lose my children. We live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to John’s lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. A law? Year, right. Don’t disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going to win. If John wants to see them, I cannot stop him. He’s their father —I want them to see him! However, his visit in his present condition will disturb the children’s stable （稳定的）life.”‎ John, who has spent much of his time in California recently, has only hired a house for himself in Pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. “If he’d like to stick to a regular life, I’d be more than happy to do that,” Jane says. “The best thing for any child of a divorced （离婚的）parent is a stable life. I want nothing more than for him to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our children’s lives more stable.”‎ While matters of money and care won’t be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her life on hold. Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own show, Twist of Jane, in which she gives advice to other moms. Jane and her eight children will also return to ABC in a series of Jane Plus 8 specials showing them on various adventures. It’s rest for Jane, who insists that she needs her new, busy life to provide for her family. “I have to lead such a life, and I’m thankful that I’ve built it to the top where now I can support my children.” she says.‎ And whether a bellicose（好斗的）dance judge or bellicose former wife, Jane plans to keep on facing attacks on her. “Some people try to knock me down---only to make me more fierce, more protective, more determined to do better,” she says. “Go ahead, take me on. This will just make me stronger.”‎ ‎67．According to Jane in the first paragraph, the low .‎ ‎ A．can’t take her children away from her ‎ B．can’t do anything with the case ‎ C．will best settle the problem ‎ D．will disturb her children ‎68．What does “to do that” refer to in the second paragraph?‎ ‎ A．To live with John.‎ ‎ B．To hire a house for John.‎ ‎ C．To allow John to see the children ‎ D．To ask John to set up a regular life.‎ ‎69．What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A．Jane’s life is very difficult.‎ ‎ B．Jane continues to live as usual.‎ ‎ C．Jane almost can’t control her life.‎ ‎ D．Jane works very hard to live a happy life.‎ ‎70．Which word can best describe Jane?‎ ‎ A．Proud.
