I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand reachedout in front of me. In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my small money and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even lo ok at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.” Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going.

That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.38. The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______.A. to encourage his son to make a living by himselfB. his son to become a busboy in the futureC. his son to work harder at schoolD. to remind his son to depend on himself at school39.

When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $ 100,000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double paned(双层玻璃) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla's eyes burned .Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde(甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy. The problem itself isn't new. “The indoor environment was dirt y long before energy conservation came along，”says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in someThe problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the polluted air gathered in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.41. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house_____________.A. is well worth the money spent on its constructionB. is almost perfect from the point of energy conservationC. failed to meet energy conservation standardsD. was designed and constructed in a scientific way42. What makes the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?A. Lack of fresh air.B. Poor quality of building materials.C. Gas leakage in the kitchen.D. The newly painted walls.43. The word “accentuate”(Para.3) most probably means“___________”.A. relieveB. accelerateC. worsenD. improve44.Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A. Because indoor cleanliness was not emphasized.B. Because energy used to be inexpensive.C. Because environmental protection was given top priority（优先）.D. Because they were technically unavoidable.45. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled ____________A. Energy conservationB. House Building CrisisC. Air Pollution IndoorsD. Traps in Building ConstructionIV．用恰当的关系代词或关系副词填空（每小题1分，共10分）。
