3.New'York City has lots and lots of buildings,and many people live-there-almost 8 million people!Human beings take a lot of things from the earth,'and they also put a lot of things back into it,including things that pollute the air or use up natural resources.
"Eco-friendly,"or"green"buildings in New York City are good for the environment."Green"living helps save natural resources,makes the air cleaner,and helps us breathe better.
    We spend about 90 percent of our day indoors,where the air quality can actually be much worse than it is outside.
    Certain buildings have more access to natural daylight,appliances that use less energy,and encourage people to use environmentally friendly practices.Green buildings give the people who live in them cleaner air to breathe,and some even have sensors that turn lights on and off when you walk into or leave a room. The buildings also capture and reuse rainwater.
    The Albanese Organization built the first green residential building in North America in 2003.It is called the Solaire,and is located in Battery Park City.Now,in 2013,they are building another new green building in Battery Park City called the Visionaire,which is so environmentally friendly that it is being called America's greenest"high-rise building.       
     The building pud6es and reuses water,using 50% less water than a typical high-rise building. Some of the building's electricity is powered by the sun,and the fresh air is filtered to take pollutants out.
     The buildings themselves were all built using recycled materials from other construction projects,so that. those materials do not just end up in a garbage clump.  It costs more for companies to make these buildings,so the people who live in them have to pay more,too*But reduced energy bills help you save money.  And if you have allergies(过敏),you may end Lip saving on doctors'bills,too,since these buildings are healthier to live in.
"I have a history of asthma(哮喘)and hypersensitivity(高度过敏)to odors and allergens in the air,"said a Visionaire resident,Rod McCowan,52."The air is crisp and pure.  I can tell I'm breathing better."

56.What kind of life does the author suggest in this,passage?(no more than 2 words)Green living.
57. What does the Albanese'Organization specialize in?( no more than 6 words)(It specializes in)building green buildings
                                                                                     
58.How does the Visionaire save water?(no more than 5 words)It purifies and reuses water./By purifying and reusing water
59.What is this passage mainly about?( no more than 6 words)Green/Eco-friendly buildings in New York City
60.Why does the author say"green"buildings are healthier according to the last two paragraphs?(no more than 9 words)Because they have crisp and pure air in them./Because the air is crisp and pure..

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了纽约的一些绿色建筑,采取了环保的做法,不仅有助于节约自然资源,并且使空气更清洁,帮助我们更好地呼吸,即使是哮喘病人也可以在那里很好的生活.

8.Emergency rooms (ER) are supposed to cure people but Dr.John Stemgold wonders if working in an ER in Willits made him sick.The ER was downwind of the Remco chrome plant."I used to sit facing that window and kind of daydream out the window,looking at Remco,looking at the fog coming out of there.Then I would cough and cough."Stemgold said.
What Dr.Stemgold didn't know was that Remco was flowing out Chromium VI into the air---a chemical known to cause cancer and breathing problems in humans.A recent state health department study found that people who were in Willits when Remco was in operation from 1964to 1995are at higher risk for cancer because of Chromium VI exposure.
Today Dr.Stemgold has lots of time to play his guitar.It turns out he has a form of breathing difficulty.Hospital chemicals cause coughing so violently that he's broken bones and it's cost him his career.Others in this town believe the Chromium has made them sick,too,and their families.Actually,Chromium VI was classified as a carcinogen,a cancer-causing substance,thirty years ago,Twenty years ago,a group of state scientific specialists found no exposure level below which carcinogen effects would not have some probability of occurring.Still,Remco was allowed to flow out Chromium VI into the air.
In the battle to balance public health and a healthy economy,laws often favor business,Alan Ramo is a professor of law at Golden Gate University."There is a real drive to make money,to have employment.When there's a real job that's available and a theoretical risk of a chemical,jobs win out,business wins out."
And chemicals are allowed to flood the marketplace and the government requires strict testing before any drugs can be sold.But the vast majority of industrial chemicals are put into use little testing of any kind Chemicals that people like us,you and me might be exposed to.Marilyn Underwood is with California state health department."You need to have the convincing evidence that something is bad to then start regulating it."However,in most cases,chemicals are not tested until someone reports the abnormal,unnatural condition of the environment in general.
"I think that if people really knew what really goes on with environmental protection I think they would be shocked and they should be."Says Professor Ramo."It might be valuable for other people to know what has happened to me,not for me but for them."He said"because they might be in a similar situation because of where they work."

15."Drink your milk.It's good for you!"You've probably heard that many times,and it's true.Milk contains calcium,which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.The U.S.government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program,saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.
Last Thursday,however,a group of doctors asked the government to remove milk from the lunch program.The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says,"Milk is high in sugar,high in fat and high in animal protein,all of which have negative effects on health.""One of the only reasons people talk about dairy,or promote it,is that it is going to help build strong bones."says Dr.Neal Barnard,president of the PCRM.There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans,broccoli,cereals and tofu.Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient.
Of course,calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth,but your genes,how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour's worth of exercise every day all play a part.
Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn't important.Keri Gans,a dietitian,says,"I think it's irresponsible to take away this beverage that children enjoy,especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day,and remove it from the lunch line."
The U.S.government is studying the request of the PCRM,but a decision may be a long way off.Meanwhile,Marion Nestle,a professor at New York University,puts it best:"Milk has nutrients.Other foods have the same nutrients.It's just a food.Like other foods,too much might be a problem."

41.Why does the US government ask students to drink one cup of milk at lunch timeD?
A.They have been told many times.
B.They have taken the PCRM's advice.
C.Fat-free or low-fat milk is less expensive.
D.Milk helps build students'strong bones.
42.Which of the following opinions does the PCRM supportA?
A.Milk is harmful to students'health.
B.Students should drink more milk each day.
C.Orange juice is higher in calcium than milk.
D.Milk is the best way to get calcium.
43.The underlined word"beverage"in Paragraph 4most probably meansC.
A.gene  
B.idea  
C.Milk  
D.Lunch
44.What can we learn from Marion Nestle's words?B
A.Milk has more nutrients than other food.
B.Milk is just a kind of common food.
C.Other food also contains much calcium.
D.Too much nutrient lies in other food.
45.What does the above text mainly talk aboutD?
A.The best way to get the most calcium.
B.The connection between milk and health.
C.Different opinion about the important of milk.
D.Whether to take milk off the school-lunch menu.
12.Besides containing attractive flowers,trees and other plants that beautify the community,ecofriendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.
A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden.It is just a far more ecofriendly garden.Usually it is built lower than the ground.Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.
Thus,a rain garden keeps the water,allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden,rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused.The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two.This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed.This is a simple,attractive,and ecofriendly"green"way to treat storm water.
What's more,planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment.Without using expensive machinery and chemicals,rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.
Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate,soil,and water conditions.They may attract local wildlife such as native birds.Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week,unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week.Once native plants establish the necessary root system,they will require little care.
Often,local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems.However,you don't need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden.As long as you're ecoconscious homeowners,you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.

C.They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.
D.They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.
13.It was a cold night in Washington,D.C.,and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me.He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat.I'd read the signs:"Don't give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers."So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn't prepared for a reply,but with no hesitation,he followed me and said,"I really am homeless and I really am hungry!You can come with me and watch me eat!"But I kept on walking.
The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week.I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn't been a real beggar.On a freezing cold night,no less,I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.
Flying back to Anchorage,I couldn't help thinking of him.I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies,churches and charities were there to feed him.Besides,you're not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle,I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News.Out of the blue,I came up with an idea.Bean's Cafe,a local charity service kitchen,feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day.Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean's?Plant a row for Bean's.It's clean and simple.
We didn't keep records back then,but the idea began to take off.Folks would fax me or call when they took something in.It's food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience.
In April 1995,the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program,Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry.The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry,which brought the program to national attention.
As more and more people participated,new variations cropped up.Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program.Donations poured in.It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty.

66.The underlined word"swindlers"in the first paragraph is closest in meaning toC.
A.policemen
B.writers
C.cheaters
D.beggars
67.Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being?B
A.Because he didn't show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.
B.Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by.
C.Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger.
D.Because he thought that charity work was the government's duty.
68.How did the author make up for what he had done?D
A.He set up a local kitchen to help the poor.
B.He planted a row of vegetables for charity.
C.He called on people to donate money to the Bean's.
D.He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Bean's.
69.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author.
B.The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News.
C.GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995.
D.The program was later taken over by some seeding companies.
