A．

用心爱心专心20

An American named Malcom McLean，a truck driver who built a big trucking company，invented a better box and changed the world．He designed the shipping containers that today carry most of the world's goods．Standardized containers can go on ships, trains or trucks and are easy to load and unload．Then he bought a steamship company which he later renamed Sea-Land．He launched his idea in 1956 using an old tanker.

McLean died in 2001．But his work lives on -- and not just for moving and storing goods．Some containers have found use as offices and housing．In recent years, some wealthy people have had homes designed from shipping containers．But containers also are being used for emergency shelters and to shelter the homeless.

A company called PFNC Global Communities has designed a steel container home for poor people．It has thirty square meters of space with a sleeping area, a bathroom and a kitchen．It also has connections for electricity and water, and special paint to he lp protect against the sun’s heat.

Several years ago, a graduate business student named Brian McCarthy saw that many workers lived in shelters made of paper or scrap metal．More than a year later, he read about a house designed from a shipping container．At the time, his cousin Pablo Nava was in his third year at university，who became interested in the project．He suggested that they enter the idea in a competition for business plans at the university．They won.

With Pablo Nava and two others, Brian McCarthy established PFNC Global Communities to build the container homes．The sample home is twelve meters long and about two and a half meters in width and height．The kitchen has a stove to cook meals and a refrigerator to keep foods cold．Children and adults have separate sleeping areas．The company hopes manufacturers will buy the homes for workers and their families．PFNC wants to keep the price below ten thousand dollars.

A nonprofit group called the Jhai Foundation in San Francisco is trying to take bicycle-powered computers to rural villages around the world．The computer was developed with villagers in Laos．Jhai in the Lao language means "hearts and minds working together."

Lee Thorn is the chairman．He says there are tens of thousands of dead computers in rural villages．Villages often receive computers they do not know how to use or how to keep working.

So Lee Thorn worked with another Lee -- Lee Felsenstein, an early developer of personal

用心爱心专心20

computers．The result is the Jhai PC．It does not use much electricity．The battery that powers it is recharged when a person pedals a bicycle．The Jhai PC built to work for ten years．has a steel cover designed to resist water and weather．

In addition to Laos, the group is in contact with villages in Vietnam and other countries.

The foundation offers to help villagers learn to make the computers themselves with local materials．The group looks for a business person in each village who will create a ten-year business plan．The plan must include hiring people in the village．

The foundation provides business and computer training．It also provides classes for teachers on ways to use computers in school．The group has received awards from the UN.

The group also works with villagers on other ways to improve their lives．The foundation is helping the farmers sell their coffee in the US.

Lee Thorn started the foundation ten years ago．He calls it the opposite of war．He was in the US Navy during the Vietnam war．On an aircraft carrier he loaded planes with bombs to drop on neighboring Laos．Later he and Lee Felsenstein were active in the antiwar movement.

Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design．Later he decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall．Today, the tops of many other buildings also look like parks．In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof．New York City has an unusual example farm for hydroponics．The farm is on a boat called the Science Barge．Rainwater and river water are used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers．The farm shows the possibilities for designing rooftop systems.

Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater．Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool．They can extend the life of a roof．And they can reduce water runoff into streets and storm water systems.

Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above 27℃．So temperatures might not be a problem for growing．But rooftop gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof．This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water.

Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce a building's air conditioning costs by about one-fifth compared to black-top roofs．But they also reported that not all green roofs perform equally well．They found that designs differ in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture rainwater．The researchers put experimental roofs on top of metal insulated(隔热的) boxes, to recreate green roof conditions．The study compared products from six companies to help businesses understand how to improve their designs．Each rooftop had sixteen different kinds of plants native to Texas．The researchers say the presence of native plants likely helped all the green roofs capture water better compared to sedums．Sedums are plants that need little water and often are used on green roofs．The native plants could take in more water and

用心爱心专心20

release more of it to the atmosphere.

66．The author gave Paragraph1 to _________.

A．tell us what is green roof design.

B．tell us Germany is the country that leads or guides the green roof design

C．introduce some famous hotels in the world

D．to lead to the topic of the passage

67．The underlined word “storm” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______

A．attack B．control C．attract D．manage

68．The advantages of green roofs are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ______ A．changing the local weather

B．prolonging the house’s life

C．keeping the house cool

D．reducing the house's air conditioning costs

69．According to the passage, which conclusion is WRONG?

A．sometimes green roofs may break down the house.

B．all the green roofs must reduce the building's air conditioning costs by one-fifth

C．different designs of green roofs have different effects on buildings cool．

D．Sedums is a kind of plants native to Texas

70．The aim of experiment mentioned in the last paragraph is ______

A．to find out how many different plants in Texas

B．to show us how to design green roofs

C．to introduce a kind of roof made of metal

D．to provide proofs to develop the design of green roofs

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has declared October 15 as Global Handwashing Day in 2005．The first Global Handwashing Day is on October 15 of 2008 ．Activities are planned over twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap．Partners include the UN Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble．The

用心爱心专心20

goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.

Hand washing can prevent the spread of disease．Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments．These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth．Then they can infect others.

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs．The correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap．Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails．Rub for at least twenty seconds．Then , rinse well under running water．Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air．Soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing．It also helps to break up the grease and dirt that hold most of the germs．And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.

Washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine．It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾) by almost half．And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia and other breathing infections by one-fourth．Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year．Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about two million children under five each year．Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.

71．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _______

A．the first Global Handwashing Day was held in 2005.

B．many originations support the idea of Global Handwashing Day

C．Global Handwashing Day was founded by many soap makers

D．the content of Global Handwashing Day is to wash your hand frequently

72．The underlined phrase “critical moments” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______ A．the turning points

B．schedules

C．the arrangement of a time

D．the necessary parts in health

73．The main purpose of the story is tell us ________

用心爱心专心20

A．hand washing is very important

B．to create a culture of hand washing with soap

C．germs can infect ourselves and others

D．soaps play an important role in everyday life

74．The right order of washing hand is ________

①prepare a soap before washing

②wash the dirt off under stream

③wash your hands with a bit of water

④rub your hand with a clean towel

⑤soap your hands with a soap

A．①③⑤②④B．③①⑤②④C．②③①⑤④D．①③④⑤②75．The last paragraph implies that ___________

A．a soap is a kind of medicine to prevent a disease

B．it is important for children to wash hands in a correct way

C．Pneumonia kills about two million children each year

D．Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths.

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

A big red barn is probably one of the first thing most Americans would think of if you asked them to imagine a farm．And not a modern metal ham．but a building made of wood like the ones in the old days．

A ham is where farmers keep animals and equipment．Over time．as fewer and fewer people worked the land．more and more hams were tom down to make way for developers．Others that remained might have fallen into poor condition．Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of a modem farmer．Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it

用心爱心专心20

does not serve much purpose．But Americans with historic hams are, being urged to save them．The magazine Successful Fanning and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called Barn Again! The National Trust is a nonprofit organization that works to protect places of historic importance in America．

The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every）year．Awards are given for the projects that best succeed at restoring a ham for continued farm use．Winning buildings are used to demonstrate（展示）methods of preservation．

The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be fixed．With many old hams．the foundation they are built on is falling apart．Barn Again also offers advice for other repairs．like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint．And fanners are given suggestions about how to calculate costs．

Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton，Michigan．won the 2004 Barn．Again Award．He made one improvement at a time．The work took more than nine years．He did it himself．even though for a while he held another job in addition to farming．He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars，much less than a new barn of similar size．

The improvements included strengthening the barn．There are no structural supports inside the building；instead．its sides hold it up．Today the barn holds fourteen thousand bundles of hay．Leo Fitzpatrick says the barn is a lot stronger than when it was new．His grandfather built it in1914．And Mister Fitzpatrick says his farm would not be the same without it．

1．What is the best title of the passage?（Please answer within 10 words）

2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following sentence?

Bam owners who make the best repairs on old hams and keep them in use can get a prize．

书面表达：

With Chinese people becoming rich, many families can afford a car．So many parents drive cars to pick up their children after school or on weekends．

Private cars meet the needs of people for a better life．It’s a convenient way to go home and it can save time．Unfortunately, it isn’t really convenient if there are too many cars．They make the roads more crowded and even cause traffic accidents．If so , going by cars can take longer than walking! What’s worse, cars are the source of air pollution and noise pollution, which is very bad for our health.

用心爱心专心20

I don’t think it’s good to pick up students in private cars．Most of us live near the school．It’s unnecessary to let parents pick up us because it can worsen the traffic problems such as traffic jams ．We should take buses, ride bicycles or just walk!

Health experts say washing your hands reduces the spread of viruses and other organisms that cause diseases．This advice may sound simple．However, experts say a lot of people do not follow it．

A recent study has found that many Americans fail to wash their hands after using public toilets．About thirty percent of the people leave public restrooms without stopping to wash their hands．

In the study, researchers asked one thousand adults how often they wash their hands．The researchers observed almost eight thousand people at public toilets in five major American cities．More than 95 percent of Americans questioned say they always wash their hands after using public restrooms．However, the study has found that only 67 percent of them actually do so．The study has also found that American men are less likely than women to wash their hands after using a public restroom．
