Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the city’s poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs. Fox Point is operated by Palladian, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. Palladian received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.Michael. Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come fr om buildings, and 40% of those are caused, by housing. So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards.Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.25． What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?A. To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.B. To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.C. To show how the environment-friendly building works.D.

Less air to be lost in hot days.D. Better prices for homeless people.27． It can be learned from the text that,A. New York City is seriously pollutedB. people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York CityC. a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live inD. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City28． What is the main purpose of this text?A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.B. To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.C. To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.D. To introduce healthy, environmentally clever-and affordable housing.CIt is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure (从众心理) at some point. Every day, in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. It can be as subtle (微妙的) as being persuaded to be late for c lass or as extreme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme, peer pressure can have damaging, sometimes life changing, and even serious results.“Teens don’t often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,”said Terri Price, a researcher. “Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for manyteens because of their fears of not fitting in”. Peer pressure has al ways been part of teen life, but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “Listen to your instinct （直觉） , which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is. ”says Price.Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities (不安全感). This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support, causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say, “Just say no,” but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.29.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to .A. the InternetB. teen lifeC. peer pressureD. the fear of not fitting in30.You can know whether a teen suffers peer pressure by watching .A. whether he often surfs the InternetB. whether he can get securityC. whether it is subtle or extremeD. whether he feels comfortable with it31.Why are teens easily influenced by peer pressure?A. Because they don’t have the feeling of safety.B. Because they are afraid of fitting in or being accepted.C. Because they need support for their health.D. Because they have nobody to turn to when in trouble.32.According to the passage, we can know that dealing with peer pressure isA. easyB. hardC. a new topicD. an impossible taskDGetting your teen to think beyond his own immediate needs can be more difficult than cracking a nut with a plastic fork．But don't worry．It's not impossible．There are many ways to encourage your teen to care about th ose outside his immediate circle of friends．As he begins to have responsibility towards others, he will realize he feels even better about himself．"Teens are thinking about career, college, an d what their future might look like," explains Michelle Maidenberg, a clinical director of Westchester Group Works, a center for group treatment in New York．"This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world．" Once teens participate in community service, however, they begin to look beyond their personal needs．They also learn firsthand about the challenges others face, and they experience a sense of authority as they realize they can make a real difference in others' lives．Not sure how to convince a teen to get away from the cell phone and into a community project? Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest．"Finding something in an area of interest for them keeps them motivated and inspired," Maidenberg says．For instance, if he is interested in culinary （烹饪） school, he could volunteer in a soup kitchen or bake for a project that supports families in need．Volunteer projects in your teen's area of interest will build her knowledge base as well as help others．Parents can do their part by participating i n community service themselves．Teens can learn directly from their parents that personal enjoyment is not ,all that matters．Let teens know the benefits they will obtain．“Give them every reason in the world to volunteer," Maidenberg advises．She says that working on community service projects builds confidence．"By working with others, teens improve managerial, interpersonal and communication skills．Community service helps to approach maturity when they take a step back to see the needs of other people," she adds．Another reward: service hours look great on a resume!33．According to Michelle Maidenberg, it's hard to get teens to think beyond their own immediate needs partly because ___ ___．A．they care more about their circle of friendsB．they have no interest in doing anythingC．they have to work hard for collegeD．they are facing many challenges34．The underlined phrase "buy into" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______．A．agree to join in B．spend money onC．get away from D．are interested in35．The writer mentions the benefits in the last paragraph in order to ______．A．make teens feel much better about themselvesB．encourage teens to care about his own needsC．help parents reason teens into volunteeringD．get parents to do more community service第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
