Global warming一、閱讀理解。Priscilla Ouchidas “energyefficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago，they built a $100 000，threebedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks，the house was equipped with small doublepaned windows and several other energysaving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in，however.Priscillas eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The level of formaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cupboards and walltowall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nations drive to save energy.The problem itself isnt new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap，home builders didnt worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks，the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result，the pollutants generated in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.1It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house _.Ais well worth the money spent on its constructionBis almost perfect from the point of energy conservationCfailed to meet energy conservation standardsDwas designed and constructed in a scientific way2What made the Ouchidas new house a horrible dream?ALack of fresh air.BPoor quality of building materials.CGas leakage in the kitchen.DThe newly painted walls.3Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern? ABecause indoor cleanness was not emphasized.BBecause they were technically unavoidable.CBecause environmental protection was more important.DBecause energy used to be inexpensive.4This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “_”AEnergy ConservationBHouses Building CrisisCAir Pollution IndoorsDTraps in Building Construction【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了Ouchida夫婦響應(yīng)國家號召建造了節(jié)能的房子，但是因?yàn)榉孔用懿煌革L(fēng)，使室內(nèi)缺少新鮮空氣，而且甲醛含量超標(biāo)，室內(nèi)空氣污染，導(dǎo)致他們的身體出現(xiàn)了狀況。長難句分析：The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution，which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nations drive to save energy.(第三段第一句)分析：本句是復(fù)合句。The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution是主句；which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。譯文：Ouchida夫婦是室內(nèi)空氣污染的受害者，這沒有得到足夠的重視，部分原因是國家鼓勵(lì)節(jié)約能源。詞匯積累：equip v配備victim n受害者constantly adv.經(jīng)常sufficient adj.足夠的1B推理判斷題。Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks.the house was equipped with small doublepaned windows and several other energysaving features.(第一段第三句)譯文：房子密封，防止漏氣，房子配備了小的雙層玻璃窗和具有其他幾個(gè)節(jié)能的特點(diǎn)。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可推知，從節(jié)能的角度來看，他們的房子幾乎是完美的。故選B。2A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可推知，Ouchida夫婦的新房子缺少新鮮空氣，并且甲醛含量嚴(yán)重超標(biāo)，這也是房屋主人患病的主要原因。故選A。3D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didnt worry much about unsealed cracks.(最后一段第二句)譯文：在能源還是很便宜的時(shí)候，房屋的建造者對不密封的裂縫并不是很擔(dān)心。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可知，過去不關(guān)心房屋裂縫是因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)能源不貴。故選D。4C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要圍繞節(jié)能造成室內(nèi)污染的問題展開論述，因此Air Pollution Indoors適合做標(biāo)題。故選C。二、單句語法填空1Father is strongly opposed to _ (go) shopping on Sunday because the streets and supermarkets are full of people.答案：goingbe opposed to . “反對”，其中to為介詞，其后應(yīng)接名詞、動(dòng)名詞作賓語。2The prices of this kind of wine ranged _ ten yuan _ 100 yuan per bottle.答案：from; torange from . to . “在某范圍內(nèi)變化”。3Though he is less than one year old, he is strong enough to walk _ (steady)答案：steadily副詞作狀語，在句中修飾動(dòng)詞walk。4Do you know how the accident came _ ?答案：aboute about “發(fā)生”。5With Spring Festival approaching, prices of fruit and vegetables _ (go) up.答案：have gonego up “上升；增長；升起”。6Quantities of money _ (spend) in bringing up the children since they were married.答案：have been spent“a quantity of名詞”作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞與名詞的數(shù)保持一致；而“quantities of名詞”作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。且由since可知應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，再根據(jù)money與spend之間的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填have been spent。7How many times do you dine out per week _ average?答案：onon average “平均起來；平均來說”。句意：你平均每周在外用餐多少次？8Under these _ (circumstance), what matters most is not only our persistence but also our attitude.答案：circumstancesunder

also.意為“不但而且”，為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，故用連詞but。第九處：whathow?？疾橐蓡栐~。與teaches呼應(yīng)可知，此處表示方式，故用how。第十處：luckilylucky?？疾樾稳菰~。與I am呼應(yīng)可知，此處應(yīng)用形容詞lucky作表語。
