3．The number of people employed inagriculture（農(nóng)業(yè)） has fallen in the last decade．

分析 在過(guò)去十年間，農(nóng)業(yè)從業(yè)人數(shù)已經(jīng)下降．

解答 agriculture   agriculture是名詞，意為"農(nóng)業(yè)"，介詞in后面加名詞．the number of…：…的數(shù)量，employed是過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)做后置定語(yǔ)，表被動(dòng)，修飾前面的名詞people，表示"被雇傭"．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查名詞的詞義．在熟知單詞詞義的基礎(chǔ)上要注意名詞的數(shù)的變化．

14．The behavior of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use，according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre （UKERC）．The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions （排放）by 80percent by 2050，part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero carbon by 2016．But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own-though extremely important-is not enough to achieve such reductions：the behavior of the people using the building has to change too．
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments．
"Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything，"explains Katy Janda，a UKERC senior researcher，"consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design．"In other words，old habits die hard，even in the best designed eco home．
Another part of the problem is information．Households and bill payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy use habits．Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices．Feedback（反饋） facilities，like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use； some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15percent energy savings using smart meters．
Social science research has added a further dimension，suggesting that individuals'behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted-whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat （恒溫器），for example．
Janda argues that education is the key．She calls for a focused program to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them．

32．As to energy use，the new research from UKERC stresses the importance ofD．
A．zero carbon homes            
B．the reduction of carbon emissions
C．sustainable building design        
D．the behavior of building users
33．The underlined word"which"in Paragraph 2refers to"B"．
A．their homes   
B．existing efforts 
C．developments 
D．the ways
34．What are Katy Janda's words mainly about？A
A．The importance of changing building users'habits．
B．The necessity of making a careful building design．
C．The variety of consumption patterns of building users．
D．The role of technology in improving energy efficiency．
35．The information gap in energy useC．
A．a(chǎn)ffects the study on energy monitors
B．brings about problems for smart meters
C．can be bridged by feedback facilities
D．will be caused by building users'old habits．

18．Leon McCarthy，12，was born without fingers on his left hand．That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks．But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time．So Leon's father，Paul，created a Prosthesis（假肢），using a 3D printer．Now Leon has fingers that open and close．"It was a do-it-yourself，father-and-son adventure，"says Paul．
When Leon was a baby，his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens．"The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，"says Paul．As Leon got older，his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand，which can cost as much as 30，000．Paul found a more affordable solution．
One day，Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand，a prosthesis created with a 3D printer．He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice．They told him all he needed was a 3D printer-which costs around 2，000-and some materials．
Luckily，Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon．"We used a soccer shinguard（護(hù)脛），cardboard，and tape．They cost about 10，"says paul．
With his new hand，Leon can do things better．"I can help my mom more，because now I can carry two grocery bags，"he says．
Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon．Leon helps design each one．He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis．"The goal，"he says，"is to be able to tie my shoelaces（鞋帶）．"
21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of（不同意） his using a prosthesis in his childhood？C
A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then．
B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time．
C．To master the disabled hand was important．
D．The original hand could do many tasks．
22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand byD．
A．collecting money on the Internet          
B．buying a prosthetic hand
C．purchasing a 3D printer                 
D．printing a hand
23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described asA．
A．cheap and common                    
B．strange and valuable
C．personal and lovely                    
D．basic and solid
24．What's the best title for the text？B

13．In the face of the tensions and pressures we all face every single day，a sense of humor can be helpful．The ability to laugh is very important to our fullest development and to our"mental health"．And if we can laugh at ourselves，we're even further along the road to self-fulfillment．Consider the following example．
Gordon is hoping to become a professional singer．He has a good voice，and has performed in public many times．But he's very sensitive about his abilities．For instance，if his voice coach suggests he practice a particular song a few more times until he gets it right，Gordon falls apart，absolutely certain that the coach is implying that he isn't any good and he has no future in music．
He mentioned his sensitivity in his paper for a psychology class．The psychology professor called him in，outwardly to talk about the paper，but hoping to give the boy a chance to open up about the problem．The teacher rarely told her students what they ought to do，but she felt  Gordon should know that such extreme sensitivity would make it difficult for him in the entertainment field，where stage personnel，and fellow performers often are very hard on new talent．She asked Gordon if he felt he had made necessary preparations to follow through in such a competitive and difficult business．
Gordon got angry with the teacher，pointing a brave finger at her，and told her she was"dead wrong"about him．Further，Gordon asked what she could possibly know about music and the pressures of the profession．The teacher stood up and turned Gordon around，right in the middle of a sentence，asking him to continue，but to watch himself in the mirror on the back of the office door as he talked．Gordon tried to go on，pointing and gesticulating，but suddenly he saw his expression in the mirror，then when he turned to face the psychologist，he noticed a smile beginning to form on the teacher's face．At the very top of his"outburst，"Gordon burst out laughing．He stopped his aggressive talk and asked the teacher if he looked that ridiculous all the time．
Seeing himself"objectively"made Gordon realize that how ridiculous it was to take himself so seriously．In our everyday life，the ability to catch ourselves being so serious，bearing all the burdens of the world，and trying to save the human race helps us relieve some built-up tension through laughter．
Laughter is a necessary part of mental health．Laughter is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate the selfhood．The things we find in humor may vary，but the experiences of humor，pleasure，and enjoyment are extremely important and must be fostered．

63．From the first two paragraphs，we can learn that GordonD．
A．has broken up with his coach
B．has failed to be a professional singer
C．keeps practicing and hopes for the best
D．feels very sensitive to other people's comments
64．Why did the psychologist talk with Gordon？B
A．To discuss his paper with him．
B．To help him realize his problem．
C．To point out his rude behaviors．
D．To offer advice on reducing pressure．
65．How does the author support his ideas？C
A．By offering analyses．B．By providing research results．
C．By giving an example．D．By stating an argument．
66．What is mainly discussed in the passage？B
A．Means of laughter．
B．Benefits of humor．
C．The cause of sensitivity．
D．The importance of health．
