(2011·宁德质检，D)
With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up, evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.
As the Telegraph is reporting, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.
A U．S. embassy document, by quoting(引用)an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now reexamining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work.”
The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magnitude9.0.
Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion, reports Bloomberg. “After Chernobyl, all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event, for not creating damage to their reputation，”Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters, before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods(棒)stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety. “The Japanese were very greedy, and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin, you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin.”
日本核泄漏事故已经尘埃落定，但是人们应该从这一事故中汲取教训。

A. people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan
B. people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan
C. Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants
D. Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors

C. The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday's earthquake.
D. IAEA officials advised Japan to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster.

(2011·漳州质检，E)
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the_building on the land”， Taryn Holowka of the U．S. Green Building Council in Washington D．C. said.
According to Holowka, the building accounts for 65 percent of total U．S. electricity use. But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't
destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green highrise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by onethird and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(板) which change the sun's energy into electricity，” Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It's going to be big.”
绿色建筑不仅仅是种点花花草草，不仅仅是一种颜色。真正的绿色建筑应该是节能的、环保的房子。
17. In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building” most probably refer to ________.
A. an ordinary building
B. an energysaving building
C. a greencolored building D. a building in WashingtonD．C.
答案：A。猜测词义题。所在句意为“绿色建筑意味着减少对地上建筑物的影响。”因此，划线词意为“一般建筑物，普通建筑物”。
18．A green building is often built on an area of land ________.
A. which has thick forests around
B. where people of high income live
C. which has already been for buildings
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
答案：C。细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话“Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests.”可知，绿色建筑物常常建在已经开发为建筑用地的地方。
19. When saying “It's going to be big”， Holowka means that green buildings________.
A. will be more comfortable
B. will become popular in future
C. will be more environmentally friendly
D. will take the place of traditional building

We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch，gossip in the tearoom，or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It ’ s important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy, “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others," said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G,
According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship，habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.
Liang Kun，26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing her income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn’ t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her ,”said Liang. ‘‘Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office. ” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “ When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow clown your career progressing. ”
