Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died. On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he
15、 could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved.

Were eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper
21、limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year. The headlines now? Its time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount
22、 of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average persons diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶). But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who c
23、hoose to eat salty or not-so-salty food-and the results have pointed in eve3 direction. Sonre studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. Whats needed,Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的) , control
24、led trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. Its the only way to get a reliable answer, but its never been done. So what should you do?

29、e There is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆 ) on his land. They have tried t
30、o fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that Californias building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Councils code conn
31、nittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material. It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, an
32、d is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAng
33、eles in 1994. There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenb
34、erg observes, “the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isnt to avoid straw. Its that you dont let a pig build your house.“（分数：10.00）(1).By “the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that Brash （分数：2.00）A.received punishmentB.made a breakthroughC.would be in troubleD.might win a prize
35、(2).David Eisenberg is mentioned （分数：2.00）A.as a representative of official opinionsB.for the purpose of supporting Warren BrushC.to provide evidence against straw housesD.to show the importance of the building codes(3).What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? （分数：2.00）A.The structure of straw houses.B.The
36、 possibility of building straw houses.C.The suggestions for building straw houses.D.The advantages of straw houses.(4).It can be learned from the last paragraph that California （分数：2.00）A.will fine Warren Brush as plannedB.will reduce the fine on Warren BrushC.may consider a heavier fine on Warren B
37、rushD.may not fine Warren Brash(5).The authors purpose in writing the passage is to （分数：2.00）A.show that straw can be used to build housesB.highlight the prejudice against straw housesC.explain how to build a house with strawD.introduce a new building materialPassage Four I was talking with a senior
38、 Public Relations manager the other day about “The Game Trainers“ and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games. These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children, he t
39、old me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions. He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these “serious people with serious jobs“ could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to
40、 flow more freely through “games“. His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a “game“ is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what “work“ nmst look like for it to be considered of value. Its not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful compani
41、es of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun， creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead th
42、ey have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures. The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man,
43、its a good thing that they are “serious people with serious jobs“, because we also are extremely serious about play, and in todays environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the PR manager think of the authors proposal of playing games? （分数：2.00）A.It is against t
44、he rule.B.It makes no sense.C.It is worth a try.D.It would be beneficial.(2).The author suggests that the PR managers position on games （分数：2.00）A.represents a common misunderstandingB.allows for greater work efficiencyC.is based on scientifically proven conceptsD.is hard to understand in todays wor
45、ld?(3).The examples of Apple and Google show that （分数：2.00）A.it helps to combine work with gamesB.games should be separated from workC.work and games can be clearly definedD.no work can be done well without games(4).“The Game Trainers“ is probably a （分数：2.00）A.computer gameB.search engineC.game deve
