Not only fashion and music are making a return—houses built in 1970s have proven to be better at cutting energy waste than those built today. The “tea cosy (茶壺套)” design, created in the mid-1970s and built in the early 1980s for low-income people, could provide a blueprint for meeting the Government aims of producing less CO2 from homes.

The 200 houses were designed to provide low-energy housing, and depend on an inner concrete (水泥) structure that holds in heat, protected by highly insulated (隔熱的) setting which produces a “tea cosy” effect. The ordinary-looking houses also depend on more windows on south-facing sides, with northerly facing doors protected by porches (門廊).

A study found the houses are 50 percent more energy efficient than the average home and use a quarter of the average energy for space heating. According to researchers, they use less than two-thirds of the power of homes built to meet 2010 building demands. And they will still be 25 percent more efficient than houses built to even more strict proposed demands for 2013. The design is one of the few that will be able to meet 2016 demands for zero-carbon homes.

They were in the beginning fixed with just one or two gas heaters per home, although most now have central heating, depending on the heat from the sun and high insulation to keep steady temperatures inside the house. To be comfortable, they only need to use heating for three to four months a year, compared with seven months for UK home on average, and can be lived with no heating at all.

With many house builders at present worrying that new homes are going to be much more expensive to build in order to meet the Government’s ambitious targets, the“tea cosy”model meets this need perfectly.

I am travelling back with my parents from seeing my grandparents then it started to snow. At first, I thought it was fun and everything looked beautifully. I was looking forward to make a snowman in the playground at school the next day, and suddenly the car drove off road and into a channel. My father called the rescue team, but they said that would be a long time before they could reach us. However, we sang songs and told stories to pass the time. Several hour later, the rescue team pulled their car out of the channel. At last, we managed to drive very slowly to home. I would never forget this experience.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

An Open Letter to an Editor

I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently — one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.

Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé (簡歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him.

Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.

So why is he looking for a way out?

He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.

The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.

He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for our paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?

So your reporter has set me thinking.

Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists — everyone — is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.

1.What does the writer think of the reporter?

A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative.

C. Ambitious. D. Proud.

2.What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?

A. Finding the news value of his stories.

B. Giving him financial support.

C. Helping him to find issues.

D. Improving his good ideas.

3. Who probably wrote the letter?

A. An editor. B. An artist.

C. A reporter. D. A reader.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually decreased. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there.”

寫作內(nèi)容：

1. 以“Anger management”為題約30個詞概括上文的主要內(nèi)容。

2. 談談你的想法（120詞），內(nèi)容包括：

（1）你自己的一次親身經(jīng)歷；

（2）分析憤怒情緒可能產(chǎn)生的后果（一到兩點）；

（2）就如何控制憤怒情緒提出建議（一到兩點）。

I often quarrel with my mother over if I can watch TV after school. My mother thinks that senior students, burden with their studies, are so busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seemed to her that I will not able to control myself and forget all about my study once I am allowed to. She also thinks that it’s bad for her eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it’s relaxed to watch TV before a day’s hard work. It can set my mind at rest and broaden my horizons as well. Besides, and we can be kept informed of what’s happening at home.

Taking a math test can be pretty stressful. Even if you know the material, you can still get the problem wrong. Knowing how to go through your math test and check your work can save you from handing in a test full of mistakes that can be avoided. 1.

Write it out

You can also check a math problem by writing everything out on paper. 2. Writing out math problems reduces your chances of missing anything to the lowest possible level, which is a common cause of incorrect answers.

3.

Make sure your answers work by doing the opposite procedure of what your problem calls for, including the answer you got the first time around. In other words, you would use the opposite of this addition problem—subtraction (減法)—to determine whether or not your answer is the correct one.

Plugging in

You may find that a variable(變量) isn’t good enough or have a problem where you have to solve for a variable. 4. This is the only real way to assure yourself that the answer you’ve found is correct.

Check for a reasonable answer

5. For example, if you get an answer in the millions and you know it should be in the thousands, you’ve likely misplaced a point. Go back through the work on your paper to make sure all of your formulas and calculations are correct. If everything looks okay, do the problem again and compare the result of the second try to what you’ve got on the first try.

A. Do the opposite

B. Correct the answers

C. Plug the variable in the equation (方程) to check it out.

D. Therefore you’ll improve your grades, as well as your math skills.

E. It also helps you to figure out everything after you have already finished the test.

F. If the result of a problem seems to make no sense, it indicates that the answer is incorrect.

G. This helps you to know what information you have and what information you need to solve.
