Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it.　 But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat.　 They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.

Some parts of most modern buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空调的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.

Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers.　 The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off.　 Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight male genius.

Pittsburgh?

A. They collect body heat to control the temperature inside.

A. to find the producers of heat

C. to make the campus more beautiful

D. to collect heat and reuse it

3.The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ______.

A. the person who suffers most from heat

B. the person who needs more heat than others

C. the person who gives off most heat

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

When a friend approaches you in the heat of a moment, it can be hard to know what to say. There’ no blanket approach for every person through every crisis (危急), but a few guidelines could help you offer the best support.

Friends going through a crisis often just need someone to talk to and explore their feelings with, but the trick is to listen without sounding like you’re judging. Reorganize “why” questions, which can imply you’re questioning their judgment, but ‘how’ and ‘what’ questions, and ‘who’ and ‘when’ seem caring and sincere.

Open-ended questions that can’t be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will also help friends dig into their deepest feelings during a crisis. While your loved ones talk through their replies, practice active listening by focusing on their answers. After all, your friends probably just need someone to listen and prove them, rather than hearing you offer potentially unhelpful advice.

When you do respond，avoid telling friends in crisis how they “should” be feeling. “ ‘Should’ is not a valid term, saying it’s not OK for you to feel these societally ‘weak’ feelings,” says Michelle Kuchuk, director of training for Crisis Text Line. “If you’re only hearing ‘you should feel great’, you’re never going to speak again or get that weight off your chest if you think other people will judge you.”

On the other hand, tying those positive feelings to a specific action can feel more sincere. If friends hear “you’re so strong” without an example to back it up, they might never believe it. But if they’ve been explaining how hard it was to talk to someone else, praise them for taking that brave step.

Finally, it’s more important for a friend to know you’re there for support than stressing about saying the right thing during a crisis. Just be a friend and really listen to that person, not with your own agenda but “what is this person really going through?”

1.Who is this passage intended for?

A. People to be consultants.　　 B. People in need of support.

C. People going through a crisis.　　 D. People supporting friends in crisis.

2.What is your most suitable question to ask one talking to you?

A. Who did that1?　　 B. When did you start it?

C. How did you feel about it1?　　 D. Why did you feel that way?

3.What does the underlined part mean in the 4th paragraph?

A. Tell the truth out.　　 B. Relieve their pressure.

C. Keep everything secret.　　 D. Leave your baggage behind.

4.What is suggested to respond to your friends’ talking?

A. Preparing your questions beforehand.

B. Giving them as many instructions as possible.

C. Praising them constantly by encouraging words.

D. Expressing your appreciation for a small behavior.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

The heat was intense as we moved down the long corridor. Not only was it a difficult blaze， but the July heat made things even worse as we struggled to get the best of the flames. As we finally made the turn into the apartment where the fire had started, the words of the young mother outside screamed in my brain, ‘Please help! My baby is in there!’

We moved into the bedroom and I started looking in the usual spots where a child might seek refuge: under the bed, in the corners. As I groped my way through the thick smoke, I suddenly fell forward, tripping over something on the floor. It was the child. Ripping off my mask to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, I grabbed the child and raced for the stairs. When we reached the waiting Rescue Squad members, I collapsed in a heap in the gutter. The ambulance sped off into the night, its siren wailing. Later that evening, we received word that the child had died in the hospital’s emergency room. Another small life lost in the city.

Why do little children such as that one have to pay the price for the neglect of others? During my career as a fire fighter, I have seen this happen many times. You would think that we would become hard and callous, but we don’t. We mourn each person who dies. What bothers me is that many senseless tragedies could have been prevented. An overwhelming number of deaths in fires can be prevented by just one thing – a smoke detector. It is estimated that fewer than 50 percent of all dwellings in the United States are protected by smoke detectors. Why are so many people ignorant about the need for smoke detectors? Smoke detectors save lives. They are easy to install. Their cost is reasonable, and they offer immediate protection.

People must persuade their communities to provide fire education for everyone. The money spent on fire education reaps a reward that cannot be measured. If you do not think so, then consider your reactions if the child I carried out of that flaming apartment had been a member of your own family. You would probably then be willing to do anything at all to undo that tragedy.

1.The author’s main purpose in the passage is to __________.

A. advertise a new brand of smoke detector.

B. persuade readers to become fire fighters.

C. plead for donations from the public.

D. encourage fire safety measures.

2.In the Section About carrying the child from the building, the author is describing

_________.

A. a scene the author saw in a movie

B. a tragedy in a fire fighter’s family

C. a personal experience

D. a training course in fire education

3.According to this reading, which of the following opinions will the author most

agree with?

A. People have received enough fire education provided by their communities.

B. Many deaths in Fires could have been prevented.

C. The fires in apartments are always caused by smoking.

D. Fire Fighters don’t have sympathy for those who die in fires.

4.The author blames the lack of smoke detectors in households on the reason that________.

A. smoke detectors are too expensive

B. smoke detectors often cannot work properly

C. smoke detectors are difficult to install

D. people are ignorant about the need for smoke detectors.
