【语篇导读】 本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事类。一位年幼无知的8岁男孩儿决定离开家出走，母亲为了让孩子明白离开家的不易，故意让他净身出走。可是刚一出门，男孩儿就感觉到了离开家的不易，最后决定回到母亲身边。
1．A.packed B．returned
C．cleaned D．repaired

答案 A
2．A.drop out B．go by
C．move around D．run away
解析 根据第一段第一句话的run away from和最后一句话的leaving可知妈妈对作者说“如果你想走的话，没关系”， run away意为“离开”，符合语境。drop out退出，退学，脱离；go by经过；move around走来走去，均不符合语境。
答案 D
3．A.pressed B．shook
C．threw D．pulled
解析 根据上一句的“如果你想走的话，没关系。但是你进这个家时，一无所有，所以你也要用同样的方式离开”，作者为了发泄对妈妈说的话的不满，狠狠地扔下包和三明治，再次准备出走。
答案 C
4．A.bag B．clothes
C．sandwiches D．suitcase

答案 B
5．A.explained B．suggested
C．continued D．shouted
解析 根据本段第四句话“This really angered me.”可知当妈妈向他要衣服的时候他已经非常生气了，这时候脱下衣服的他更是控制不住自己的愤怒。所以shout“喊”，符合语境。
答案 D
6．A.angry B．sorry
C．frightened D．ashamed
解析 根据上一段第四句话“This really angered me.”可知作者当时是非常生气，所以使劲砰地关上门，走出了前门。
答案 A
7．A.Certainly B．Naturally
C．Suddenly D．Possibly
解析 作者在家里的时候控制不住自己的怒火，但是当时只顾生气没想那么多，一旦出了门之后就意识到自己一无所有了，这里用suddenly表示出门后一刹那间的感觉。
答案 C
8．A.play B．hide
C．rest D．wave
解析 根据上一句的two neighbor girls可知作者没穿衣服看到两个女孩后非常害怕被嘲笑，所以藏在了一棵大树后。hide意为“隐藏”，符合语境。
答案 B

C．eager D．curious
解析 作者在跑回家敲门要求进屋之前应该要先确保那些女孩已经走开，否则会遭到她们的嘲笑，所以用 be sure。
答案 A
10．A.house B．tree
C．door D．yard
解析 根据上一个空后的“I dashed to the front door...”可知此处表示“门后的声音回答”，故C项正确。
答案 C
11．A.also B．still
C．even D．already
解析 根据此空后的“Let me in”可知此处表示“妈妈，我仍然是你的儿子”之意，故副词still“仍然”正确。
答案 B

Cloze 1
When we think of green buildings，we tend to think of new ones—the kind of modern，solarpaneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines.
But the US has more than 100 million existing homes，and it would be incredibly __1__ to tear them all down and
__2__ them with greener versions.
An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.And it would take an average of 65 years for the __3__ carbon emissions(排放) from a(an) __4__ energyefficient(节能) home to make up for the
__5__
lost by destroying an old one.
So in the broadest sense，the greenest home is the one that has already been built.But at the same time，__6__ half of US carbon emissions come from heating，cooling and powering our __7__，offices and other buildings.“You can't deal with climate __8__ without dealing with existing buildings，” says Richard Moe，the president of the National Trust.
With some exceptions，the oldest homes tend to be the
__9__ energyefficient.Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000，mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __10__ over time and let in more outside __11__.
__12__，there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes，from __13__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home.And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth；they can help __14__ property owners from rising power __15__.

__5__.“Fourth floor，sir，” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently，this time so __6__ that customers turned to see what was causing the __7__.
I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and
__8__ for what I assumed was the fourth floor.But rather than walk to the __9__ or the lift，he dashed behind a shelf，took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly，with an almost mad
__10__
on his face.Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women's shoes were sold.Again he asked her to

the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes.
