How do I lower CO2 emissions (排放) by the way I use energy?‎ ‎ Answers to such and similar questions are provided by the online game—RED, which is the short form for Renewable Energy Drama. Researchers from IDMT in Erfurt, Germany, have developed the Web application. The experts see great potential in online games for teaching the subject of “Saving electricity at home” in an entertaining manner and to show that one’s own behavior can affect how much electricity costs.‎ ‎ The software is aimed at adults and young people interested in renewable energies who want to know how they can save energy. “How much energy do individual household appliances consume, which ones are the ‘energy robbers’ and are the high bills the results of price increases—RED supplies the answers. The game takes only about 10 to 15 minutes,” says a researcher.‎ ‎ RED leads you through the daily life of an imaginary family of three. The screen shows all the rooms in a house. The user goes into each room and via mouse click does the regular housework such as cooking food or doing the laundry. ‎ ‎ In a second module, the online game informs the users how they can save electricity by using “Smart Meters”. Taking the time of day into consideration, they measure the exact actual usage of electricity. This is how the consumers can identify the potential for savings and start his dishwasher only at night when electricity is cheap.‎ ‎ The “Saving electricity at home” module will go online soon and so will the second RED module, “Saving electricity with Smart Meters.” The online game can be played at www. residens-project. de and is free of charge.‎ ‎54. What do we know about RED? ‎ A. It is a free online game. B. It is designed for students. ‎ C. It has already gone online. D. It takes as long as ten minutes.‎ ‎55. What does the underlined word “they” (Paragraph 5) most probably refer to? ‎ A. Users. B. Consumers. C. Researchers. D. Meters. ‎ ‎56. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Save Money at Home B. Tips for Lowering CO2 Emissions C. Learn to Save Electricity While Playing D. Tips for Saving Energy ‎（C）‎ Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “it’s a mercy that your brother doesn’t come oftener.”‎ In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “you’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.‎ Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock. Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.‎ ‎57. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.‎ A. loss B. wonder C. lucky thing D. terrible thing ‎ ‎58. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.‎ A. he was a man difficult to please B. she never knew when he was coming C. she was too busy looking after her children D. he never stayed long enough for a meal ‎59. What do we know about James’ behavior?‎ A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.‎ B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.‎ C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.‎ D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.‎ ‎60. Maggie felt pleased when _______.‎ A. she paid James the money that she owed him B. James gave some money to the children C. she had to wake James up to catch his train D. James thanked her for the nice supper 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ How to Make Your Homework Less Work ‎ Homework is a major part of going to school.

I’m really sorry.‎ ‎(Text 6)‎ W: Hello! Would you like to book a table, sir?‎ M: Hello! I want to book a table for a Chinese dinner the day after tomorrow. Could you arrange it for me?‎ W: Certainly.

But there is no good place to put a desk.‎ M: That’s true. You could put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom is too small.‎ W: Right. And I need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked at by nosy visitors.‎ M: Oh, I do agree that the desk shouldn’t be in the living room.

We can choose that apartment. It’s more suitable for us.‎ M: Absolutely true.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ W: Whoever thought learning new words could feel socially responsible? A website called FreeRice.com is an English vocabulary game. It explains its purpose like this: “ For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger.” Internet businessman John Breen created FreeRice in October. The United Nations ‎ World Food Program does not really get rice. The donations are given in the form of money. Advertisers whose names appear with links at the bottom of the game pay for the rice.‎ Words are presented with four choices of answers. Players click on the one that best defines the word. Currently, the FreeRice game has fifty-five levels of difficulty. Players rarely get past level forty-eight. Jennifer Parmelee is a World Food Program spokeswoman in Washington. She says cash donations help the agency to buy food locally and transport it quickly to where it is needed.‎ Over the last nine months, though, the cost to secure food aid has increased fifty-five percent. Jennifer Parmelee says this is the biggest danger the World Food Program has faced in its forty- year history. She says creative projects like FreeRice are badly needed right now.‎ I.听力 1-5 CBABC 6-10 AABCA 11-15 BACCB 16-20 BACCA II.单项选择 21-25 DCABD 26-30 DCBAB III. 完形 31-35 BDCAA 36-40 CCDBA 41-45 CBBAD 46-50 CADDB IV.（一）阅读 51-53 BAA 54-56 ADC 57-60 CBDB ‎（二）阅读7选5 DEGFB V. 短文填空 ‎1. related 2. but 3. to stop 4. which 5. using ‎6. easier 7. if 8. mainly 9. the 10. will lead VI. 单词拼写 ‎1. original 2. illegally 3. adopted 4. particular 5. anxiety ‎6. exactly 7. profession 8. harvested 9. athletic 10. flowed VII. 根据句意，补全句子 ‎1. totally/completely transformed/changed our life ‎ ‎2. educate children on the importance of ‎3. have a long way to go ‎ ‎4. in use ‎5. on the/our way to VIII. 附加题 ‎1. on the other hand/at the same time ‎2. with the intention/aim/purpose of ‎3. in complete agreement with / totally/completely in agreement with ‎4. hiding from responsibilities/responsibility ‎5 are concerned about
