Spain

With its sky-high scores in friendliness and fun, adventure in Spain is always as close as the nearest street.

【题目】 When it comes to green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. 1They are the witness of the country. And it would be incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and replace them with greener versions. 2What’s more, it would take an average of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. 3

But there is an unavoidable fact that nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering those aged houses. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust. With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy- efficient. 4Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000.

5Historic ones like Lincoln's Cottage can be transformed through efficiency upgrades. They can not only help protect property owners from rising power costs; They can save the earth.

A.But how to change their conditions?

B.But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes.

C.Some effective measures should be taken by government.

D.So some people say that the greenest way is to maintain old ones.

E.Fortunately, some relatively simple changes can green older homes.

F.Vast energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.

G.The main cause is the cracks that expand over time and let outside air in.

【题目】 Children are the parents' pride and joy. And we love our parents. Whenever we have difficulties or troubles, they are the people we turn to. They offer us everything — life, love, courage and support. In return, we not only try our best to love and respect them, but also want them to take part in our lives.

However, that doesn't mean that we are going to share every moment with them. It is normal to have some things you don't want them to know or something that you think is better to be kept secret from them.

Here are some netizens' secrets hidden from their parents:

"My parents always told me not to fall in love in high school, otherwise I would fail in my studies. But now I'm dating a guy and I have no idea if I should tell them the truth."

"They are concerned about my studies and also afraid that I am being picked on in a puppy love. Yet I know they love me so much, but I don't want them to worry about me. So keeping this secret might be the best way."

"Last year, I was fired several times. The real world is not easy, and it took a long time for me to find another job that I really loved. During that time, I was penniless for months. However, whenever my parents asked me if everything was ok, I told a lie. I should have been strong enough to make them not worry about me, I endured a frustrating time."

"My parents spent thousands on my college education. They paid for where I wanted to live, to travel and even gave extra money for my leisure activities. However, I am not doing well in school and failed my classes last semester."

1Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.If we love our parents, we should share everything with them.

B.The third netizen asked his or her parents for money when out of work.

D.they are afraid of their children being hurt

3How may the last netizen feel when he or she is not doing well in school?

【题目】 I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.

A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. 'When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.

It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.

Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.

Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.
