B
The Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.
ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.
Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.
The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.
That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. \"It helps us lower usage at peak power times,\" says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”
What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill. 4. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?
A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses. B. They want to know if they are able to pay. C. They want to see how much they have saved. D. They want to avoid being overcharged. 5. What is special about the ZEH communities? A. They are built in harmony with the environment. B. They have created cutting edge technologies. C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections. D. They aim to be independent in power supply.
6. What does the \"net metering\" practice mean to the power company? A. More pressure at peak time B. Reduced operational costs. C. Increased electricity output. D. Less profits in the short term. 7. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.
A. is a worthy investment in the long run B. is but a dream for average consumers C. gives the owner great tax benefits D. contributes toenvironmental protection
C
Following the Famous Silk Roads
The Silk Roads were a networkof ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to theMediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, whichstretchesover a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.
The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXi’an, inShanxiProvince. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches theMediterranean.
The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an toCentral Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western
Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.
Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.
In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.
All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods,knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage. 8. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.
A. the Mediterranean B. Xi’an, inShanxiProvince
C.KazakhstanandKyrgyzstan D. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor 9. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________. A. stands B. spreads C. moves D. flies 10. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an toCentral Asiato________. A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and tea B. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapes C. seek help from the most powerful western countries D. build bridges between his country and other countries 11. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage? A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands. B. It was recognized by the UNESCO asChina’s heritage. C. It speeded up the development of the countries involved. D. It started a trade competition between countries along the way.

My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.
The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.
When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience. 12. What can we infer about Jessie? A. She is a tour advisor. B. She is a tour guide. C. She is a foreign traveler. D. She is a skilled driver.
13. When did the writer visit the Great Wall? A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter. 14. What did the writer think of his tour? A. Adventurous. B. Disappointing. C. Satisfactory. D. Improvable. 15. What is the probable title for the text? A. A Wonderful Tour Day with Jessie B. An Extraordinary Tour Company C. The Great Wall, an Excellent Attraction
D. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide

Four smart ways to help build your children’s vocabulary
“Johnny next door can name his color1 s, but Gloria can hardly even say her own name. What am I doing wrong?”___16___But the good news is that children really are born to absorb the language around them. The following are some ways to help build your child’s vocabulary. Never use baby talk
Young children understand so much more than they can initially repeat.___17___Of course you are not going to start speaking to a baby in difficult English, but it’s important to speak to them the way that you’d speak to anybody else. Even if your child can’t or doesn’t use the same vocabulary when he talks, it is helping his language development. Follow your child’s lead
___18___Trying to turn her attention away from the clown (小丑) so that you can point out the word for “elephant”, is not only frustrating, butalso it’s probably not doing much good. Instead of driving the conversation, you’ll be more successful in making words “stick”, if you look at what your child is paying attention to. Encourage any kind of reading.
Even young kids who haven’t yet learned to read will memorize books that they’ve often heard. So go ahead and have your child “fill in” words as you’re reading together.___19___For older children who are already readers, it’s important to let them choose their own reading material. ___20___
At two years of age, some kids may only use about 30 words while others may be able to use 300 words. But there’s very little evidence that those children with 30 words at age two will have worse outcomes by the time they are five or six years of age. A. So don’t talk down to them. B. Correct pronunciation gently. C. Don’t panic if your child is slow to talk. D. It will help with their vocabulary development.
E. That sort of comparison can lead to a lot of parental anxiety. F. Let’s say you’re taking a trip tothe circus with your young daughter.
G. The best thing that parents can do is really just talk to their children all the time.
