B.Optimistic.C.Skeptical. D.Concerned.解析：考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段段首的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“However〞和后面的內(nèi)容“Ithinkclimatechangeisnowbecomingalargerissue.AndIthinkbuildingstandardsarecatchingontothat.Sopeoplearebecomingmoreawareofenergy〞“thecostofbuildingpassivehousescouldcomedown〞可知，DavidPeabody認(rèn)為氣候變化現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)大事件，建筑標(biāo)準(zhǔn)在緊跟這一點(diǎn)，因此人們的節(jié)能意識(shí)在增強(qiáng)，此外，被動(dòng)式節(jié)能屋的(建筑)本錢可能會(huì)降低，這些都會(huì)促使被動(dòng)式節(jié)能屋的盛行，故他對(duì)被動(dòng)式節(jié)能屋的前景是樂(lè)觀的。答案：BBMydivorcewasnowfinalandIneededtofindanewhomeformeandmysix-year-oldson，Dash.AfewdaysearlierI'dseenanad.Iwaswillingtotryanything，soIcontactedtheowner，awomannamedCamille.Whenshee-mailedmebackIdiscoveredshewasn'trentingahouseatall.Shewasrentingtheattic(閣樓)apartment.Ileftheramessagecallingoffourmeeting.ButCamillecalledmebackandinsistedIcomeover.SohereIwas.Ipulledthecartoastopandlookedupatthetinycottage.Thehousewassmallasitwas.Theattic'swindowlookedtootinytoletmuchlightin.Wecouldn'tliveinadark，depressingplace.Icouldmakedowithalmostanything.ButDashneedsagoodhome，aplacehereallyfeelssafe.Nosenseinwastinghertimeormine.Iknocked.Thewomanwhoopenedthedoorwassmallandbright-eyed.ShewasmucholderthanI'dguessed，butIcouldseeshehadtheenergyofsomeonehalfherage.ShelookedsosympatheticthatIfoundmyselfwantingtokeeptalkingtoher.“Wehavetoleaveourhome，〞Iexplained.“Mymarriageended.Ionlyhaveafewdaystofindsomethingelse，butIwantittoberight.〞Camillenodded.“You'reagoodmother.Youneverknowthemiraclesthatawaityouaroundthecorner.〞Camillewalkedmetothedoorandwishedmewell.Igotbackinthecarandsnapped_out_of_it.Idroveoffslowly，hopingtomakethefeelinglast.IturneddownasidestreetIdidn'trecognize.Iglancedoutofthesidewindow.Justupaheadwasacottagewithasignoutinfront：forrent.Ipulledover.Ifoundtheownershadjustboughtthehousethemselvesandweredecoratingit，hopingtofindtheperfectrenters.Theytookmeonatourofthehousethatwaslikeacopyofmylist：abigbedroomforDash，abackyardwithtrees，andagreatschoolnearby.Thehousewasmeantforus！Camillewasright.Miraclesawaitus，justaroundthecorner.[語(yǔ)篇解讀]本文是記敘文，講述的是作者離婚后，單獨(dú)帶著兒子尋找出租房屋的經(jīng)歷。5.HowdidtheauthorfeelafterreceivingCamille'se-mail？A.Disappointed. B.Excited.C.Anxious. D.Content.解析：考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Whenshee-mailedmebackIdiscoveredshewasn'trentingahouseatall...Ileftheramessagecallingoffourmeeting〞可推知，收到Camille的郵件之后，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)她出租的房子并不是自己想要的那種，因此給Camille留言取消見(jiàn)面，由此可推知作者應(yīng)是感到失望的。答案：A6.Whymusttheauthorfindagoodplace？A.Tobeginanewlife.B.TogiveDashagoodeducation.C.Forherson'ssake.D.Forherandherson'ssafety.解析：考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Wecouldn'tliveinadark，depressingplace.Icouldmakedowithalmostanything.ButDashneedsagoodhome，aplacehereallyfeelssafe〞可知，作者覺(jué)得她和兒子Dash不能住在黑暗又壓抑的地方，她自己可以忍受得了一切，但是Dash需要一個(gè)溫暖的家，一個(gè)他真正感覺(jué)平安的地方，第四段也提到“You'reagoodmother〞，由此可知，作者心心念念要找一個(gè)好地方完全是為了兒子Dash。答案：C7.Whatdoestheunderlinedpart“snappedoutofit〞probablymean？A.Saysomethinginanimpatientvoice.B.Stopfeelingunhappyordepressed.C.Makeasharpnoisesuddenly.D.Losecontrolofone'sfeelings.解析：考查詞義猜想。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“Youneverknowthemiraclesthatawaityouaroundthecorner...Idroveoffslowly，hopingtomakethefeelinglast〞可知，在Camille的鼓勵(lì)下，作者重新燃起對(duì)生活的希望，擺脫了郁悶的心境，她駕車慢慢離開(kāi)，希望這種愉悅的感覺(jué)持續(xù)下去。故畫線局部應(yīng)是“拋掉不愉快的情緒，擺脫郁悶的心境〞之意。答案：B8.Whatmessagedoesthepassagemainlyconvey？A.Neverlosehope.B.Nopains，nogains.C.Everylittlebithelps.D.Wellbegunishalfdone.解析：考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，尤其是第四段中的“Youneverknowthemiraclesthatawaityouaroundthecorner〞及最后一段中的“Miraclesawaitus，justaroundthecorner〞可知答案為A。答案：AⅡ.閱讀填句Buildingahealthyfamilyrelationshipisessentialforfamiliesofalltypes.Withoutahealthyfamilyrelationship，itcanfeellikesomeonehasnoonetoturntointimesofcrisis.Yetfamilymembersarethereforyouwheneveryouneedthem.__1__Eatdinnerasafamilyeverynight.__2__Pstatesthateatingtogetherteacheschildrenproperetiquette(禮節(jié))andalsoencouragesthemtoeathealthierfoods.Evenifyoudon'thavechildren，eatingtogetherallowsyoutorelaxfromthebusypaceofworkanddiscusstheday.__3__Ifyourhusbandasksforsometimealone，giveittohim.Don'tcheckyourteenagers'thingswhentheyaren'taround.Everyoneneedssometimealone，andrespectingprivacyisoneofthethingsthatbuildsolidrelationships.Spendrecreationaltimetogether.YoucanplayboardgamestogethereveryFridaynight，joinafamilysportingleagueorreadabooktogether.Itcanbechallengingtomaketimeforfamilies，creatingregularfamilyrituals，suchasfunevents.__4__Spendingregulartimetogetheriswhatmakesafamilyatightunit.__5__Tomaintainahealthyfamilyrelationship，eachmembermustbeabletocommunicatefreelywithoneanother，aswellaslisteneffectively.Listeningallowsyoutolearnmoreaboutyourfamilymembers'thoughtsandpersonalitiesandcommunicatingallowsyoutoexpressyourselftorelievefrustrationsandotheremotions.A.Respecteachother'spersonalspace.B.Nevertrytointerruptafamilymember.C.Alloweveryonetoopenlycommunicatefeelings.D.Thiseffectivetypeofcommunicationpreventsarguments.E.Butitcanhelpyoureconnecteachweekandknoweachotherbetter.F.Eatingtogetherasafamilyisahealthyhabitthathelpsbringalltogether.G.Healthyfamilyrelationshipsdon'tcomeautomatically—theycomewithtimeandeffort.[語(yǔ)篇解讀]本文為說(shuō)明文，介紹了四種建立健康的家庭關(guān)系的方法。1.解析：根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，此處應(yīng)選一個(gè)能夠起承上啟下的作用的句子，故G項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。答案：G2.解析：選項(xiàng)F中的“Eatingtogetherasafamily〞與本段的主題句“Eatdinnerasafamilyeverynight〞和空后的“eatingtogether〞相照應(yīng)，應(yīng)選F。答案：F3.解析：根據(jù)下文中的“sometimealone〞“respectingprivacy〞可知A項(xiàng)“Respecteachother'spersonalspace〞最能概括本段的主要內(nèi)容。答案：A4.解析：由空前的“Itcanbechallengingtomaketimeforfamilies，creatingregularfamilyrituals，suchasfunevents〞可知E項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。答案：E5.解析：由下文中的“...eachmembermustbeabletocommunicatefreelywithoneanother〞可知，本段的中心思想是讓家人自由地交流。答案：CⅢ.語(yǔ)法填空Amongthefewscientistswhohavehadagreateffectonscienceandhistory，AlbertEinsteinisperhapsthe1.________(great).AnAmericanuniversitypresidentoncecommentedthatEinsteinhadcreated2.________newviewoftheuniverse.Histheoryhascompletelychangedthewayscientistsunderstandtimeandspace.Now，moreandmorepeopleagreethattheuniverseissomethingmorecom
