B．Doubtful.C．Respectful D．Supportive.答案：B推理判断题。第三段的几个信息“upsetsmetonoend，leftconfused”等等可推知，虽然专家在忙着辩论那个选择最好，但是我们一直很困惑，由此可推知：作者对专家持怀疑态度，故B项正确。8．Whentheworldis“wavingachairinyourface”，you'readvisedto________.A．waitforabetterchanceB．breakyouroldhabitsC．makeaquickdecisionD．askforclearguidance答案：C细节理解题。由文章最后一段第二句信息“Anytimeyoufindtheworldwavingachairinyourface，rememberthis：Allyouneedtodoisfocusononething，”即：迅速作出决定该干什么，故C项正确。CThebehaviourofabuilding'susersmaybeatleastasimportantasitsdesignwhenitcomestoenergyuse,accordingtonewresearchfromtheUKEnergyResearchCentre(UKERC).TheUKpromisestoreduceitscarbonemissions(排放)by80percentby2050,partofwhichwillbeachievedbyallnewhomesbeingzero­carbonby.Butthisreportshowsthatsustainablebuildingdesignonitsown­thoughextremelyimportant—isnotenoughtoachievesuchreductions:thebehaviourofthepeopleusingthebuildinghastochangetoo.Thestudysuggeststhatthewaysthatpeopleuseandliveintheirhomeshavebeenlargelyignoredbyexistingeffortstoimproveenergyefficiency(效率)，whichinsteadfocusonarchitecturalandtechnologicaldevelopments.‘Technologyisgoingtoassistbutitisnotgoingtodoeverything，'explainsKatyJanda,aUKERCseniorresearcher，‘consumptionpatternsofbuildinguserscandefeatthemostcarefuldesign.'Inotherwords，oldhabitsdiehard,eveninthebest­designedeco­home.Anotherpartoftheproblemisinformation.Householdsandbill­payersdon'thavetheknowledgetheyneedtochangetheirenergy­usehabits.Withoutspecificinformation，it'shardtoestimatethecostsandbenefitsofmakingdifferentchoices.Feedback(反馈)facilities,likesmartmetersandenergymonitors，couldhelpbridgethisinformationgapbyhelpingpeopleseehowchangingtheirbehaviourdirectlyaffectstheirenergyuse;somestudieshaveshownthathouseholdscanachieveupto15percentenergysavingsusingsmartmeters.Socialscienceresearchhasaddedafurtherdimension(方面)，suggestingthatindividuals'behaviourinthehomecanbepersonalandcannotbepredicted—whetherpeoplethrowopentheirwindowsratherthanturndownthethermostat(恒温器),forexample.Jandaarguesthateducationisthekey.Shecallsforafocusedprogrammetoteachpeopleaboutbuildingsandtheirownbehaviourinthem.语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文，大意是说明建筑物的使用者的行为至少和它的设计一样的重要，即人们家庭对于能源的消费量直接影响我们的生活环境的质量。9．Astoenergyuse,thenewresearchfromUKERCstressestheimportanceof________.A．zero­carbonhomesB．thebehaviourofbuildingusersC．sustainablebuildingdesignD．thereductionofcarbonemissions答案：B推理判断题。根据文章首句可知英国能源研究中心的研究表明了人们行为举止对环境的重要性，故选B项。10．Theunderlinedword“which”inParagraph2refersto“________.”A．theways B．theirhomesC．developments D．existingefforts答案：D词义猜测题。which引导非限制性定语从句，其先行词是existingefforts，故选D项。11．WhatareKatyJanda'swordsmainlyabout?A．Theimportanceofchangingbuildingusers'habits.B．Thenecessityofmakingacarefulbuildingdesign.C．Thevarietyofconsumptionpatternsofbuildingusers.D．Theroleoftechnologyinimprovingenergyefficiency.答案：A推理判断题。根据第三自然段中的“consumptionpatternsofbuildinguserscandefeatthemostcarefuldesign”一句可知专家强调改变人们的家庭生活习惯的重要性，故选A项。D(·陕西·B)WhenItoldmyfatherthatIwasmovingtoDesMoines,Iowa,hetoldmeabouttheonlytimehehadbeenthere.Itwasinthe1930s,whenhewasaneditoroftheliterarymagazineofSouthernMethodistUniversity(SMU)inHermotherranaboardinghouseinGalveston,aseasidetownnearHouston,Texas.Shewascleaningouttheattic(阁楼)onedaywhenshecameacrossanolddustymanuscript(手稿).Onitstoppagewerethewords,“ByO.Henry”.Itwasanicestory,andshesentittoherdaughteratSMU,whoshowedittomyfather.Myfatherhadneverreadthestorybefore,butitsoundedlikeO.Henry,andheknewthatO.HenryhadoncelivedinHouston.SoitwaspossiblethatthefamousauthorhadgonetothebeachandstayedintheGalvestonboardinghouse,andhadwrittenthestorythereandleftthemanuscriptbehindbyaccident.MyfathervisitedanO.HenryexpertatColumbiaUniversityinMyfatherthensetouttosellit.Eventually,hefoundhimselfinDesMoines,meetingwithGardnerCowles,atopeditorattheDesMoinesRegister.Cowleslovesthestoryandboughtitonthespot.Myfathertookthemoneytothegirl.Itwasjustenoughforhertohavetheoperationshesodesperatelyneeded.MyfathernevertoldmewhattheO.Henrystorywasabout.ButIdoubtthatitcouldhavebeenbetterthanhisownstory.语篇解读：本文为记叙文。讲述父亲的一个学生偶然获得欧亨利的手稿，父亲几经努力帮助她卖掉，为
