The phenomenon is becoming more and more popular that human beings have developed a closely relationship with the most dangerous of animals－Kevin Richardson treats lions like kitty cats，Andre Hartman has a special bond with Great White Sharks and now there is 79­year old Werner Freund who has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves.

While details about how and why the former paratrooper(伞兵) became attached to these beautiful wild animals are a little summary，he has been tending them in his 25­acre Wolvespark located in the German province of Saarland，since 1972.While he currently has a group of 29，over the years he has raised almost 70 wolves belonging to all breeds(种属) ranging from Siberian to Arctic，Canadian，European and even，Mongolian.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own.They nuzzle(依偎) against him，play with him and are generally sheeplike when he is around，just like they would be around a head wolf!

This，however，is not accidental－It is a position that Werner works on establishing and maintaining with a simple act，every single day－Whenever it's feeding time，he calls his wolves to come for the raw meat by howling.As the hungry animals rush to get their food，they are always met with this scene－Werner sinking his teeth into the raw meat first.While this may sound a little rude，that is how the position of hierarchy(等级) is established in the animal world.It is always the leader male that gets the first meal and only when he signals，can the rest join in.Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.

While wolves，the largest member of the dog family，are believed to be dangerous，they rarely attack humans.Werner says that in reality，they are beautiful gentle souls，whose reputation has been tarnished，by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed.

There are different kinds of pollutants, each of which comes from different sources. It is necessary to identify the source of pollution, in order to make a policy to eliminate them.

Different products, processes and activities of our industrialized world together form the major source of pollution. The forms of pollution can be mainly divided into three kinds—solid, liquid and gas.

These pollutions have greatly damaged our planet and continue to do so. In fact, pollution is threatening our existence. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even posed a great threat to man’s existence.

We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution, the public must receive the education about the danger of pollution and so on.

The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and our later generation. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to deal with these situations by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution, I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.

The goings-on in the consulting room have become more transparent (透明的) recently. Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We can be of value if our first port of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words.

The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation. Not that it is mysterious, but it isn’t concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theorizes, but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.

Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist. I might feel hopeless, I might feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to find solutions.

The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them. As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship.

Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist’s toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking, yes. It also means the therapist is listening, thinking and feeling.

1.The word “obscure” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.

A. cancel B. clarify

C. confirm D. hide

2.Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?

A. Patients’influence has been neglected by therapists for too long a time.

B. Therapists need to think from their own perspectives as well as patients’.

C. It is no easy job for therapists to realize how uncomfortable their patients are.

D. Therapists had better push away those negative emotions acquired from patients.

3.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Awareness of feelings

B. It’s good to talk and listen

C. Theories that help therapists

D. What is the point of being a therapist

Pollution’s disastrous effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency, less reliance on fossil fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.

The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39 percent of the country’s total energy use, 12 percent of total water consumption, 68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the Environment Protection Agency.

Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live, work and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle — construction, restoration, operation, maintenance (维护) and demolition (拆毁) — than those who construct more regular buildings.

The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.

The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.

Careful site selection is important to minimize (最小化) human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.

Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.

Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower (水能) and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.

B. The process of building green buildings.

C. Green buildings’ effects on the environment

D. The benefits and features of green buildings.

2.According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that ________________________________________________.

A. use energy and resources more efficiently　　 B. only use clean energy

C. are made of recycled materials　　 D. produce no waste

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?

A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.

B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.

C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.

D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.

4.Green roofs are used because ________________________　 ________________________.

A. they fit the surrounding environment well

B. they can help to control the temperature in the building well

C. they can keep natural water for use in everyday life

D. they are cheaper than other kinds of roofs

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.

This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about "New Year’s resolutions(愿望)” - living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.

New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.

This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.

A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the "New Year's kiss" and "resolutions" create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can't New Year be about friends?

1.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph I probably mean?

A. Family. B. Living abroad.

C. Home. D. Staying with friends.

2.Why doesn't the author care about "New Year's resolutions"?

A. New Year’s resolutions cannot be reached.

B. His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.

C. It's meaningless to make any big changes in life.

D. Making New Year's resolutions creates much pressure.

3.What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?

A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.

B. Living abroad is a happy experience.

C. Staying with friends makes one feel at home.

D. Travelling abroad enriches one's life experience.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. New Year's Celebration:How? B. True Friendship: What?

C. Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated? D. Change:Plan it or Make it?
