　　(2015·呼和浩特调研)We don’t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams.But some people are lucky，like Matthew McConaughey.Once almost unknown，the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood.His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success.“The film relies on McConaughey’s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel at the end of the world，”Forbes commented.

　　But only years ago，the Texas native was often the butt of jokes(笑柄) about being too handsome.In 1993，after meeting with director Richard Linklater，McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused.And a Hollywood career was born，mostly in romantic comedies.For a long time，the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.

　　But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie，and began to use his looks differently.Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor.In 2017，McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club.The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick.His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.

　　The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech.When he was 15，the actor said，he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years.But 10 years later，he pushed the deadline ahead another decade.Then 10 years later，another decade.“My hero’s always 10 years away，”he said.“I’m never going to attain that.That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.”Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to pursue his dreams.

　　(2015·银川质量检测)In September of 2017，residents of Bexar County celebrated the opening of the Biblio Tech Library.It is one of the first libraries in America to go completely digital and perhaps it will lead the way for others to follow.To check out a book in this digital library，users link their library card to the 3M Cloud Library App.Then they can look through the library catalogue and check out a total of five books at any given time.When the books are due，they are automatically removed from the e­reader.Biblio Tech offers free tablets，laptops and computers which can be used within the library.It also offers study rooms and lounge areas where people can work together and other libraries are also in on the trend.

　　Despite the move towards digital，the Biblio Tech Library is currently the only digital library in the nation.However，the bookless library has been attempted before.Sadly，this change proved to be far too ahead of its time.Within a few years，the library began providing materials along with the digital materials due to requests from the library members.

　　Libraries are in the middle of a great change.Just a decade ago，the main focus was to lend materials to the public，but recently they have been placing more emphasis on programs to help and educate the community.A library is no longer simply a place to check out books.

　　Digital libraries are the future.In the next 100 years or so，books in print may be completely replaced by their digital competitors.While these can be more convenient for libraries and library members，I am still going to be fond of books in print.I will miss the smell of the paper，because those are things I grew to love about readings.

　　(2016·齐鲁名校高三第一次联考)These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint.Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices.

　　Green building means“reducing the effect of the building on the land”，Taryn Holowka of the U．S. Green Building Council (评议会) in Washington，D.C.，said.According to Holowka，building accounts for 65 percent of total U．S. electricity use.

　　But green buildings 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 puts 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 part by using solar power.“On the face of the building we have solar panels (光板) 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 by 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.”

　　【解题导语】　本文介绍了绿色建筑。在建筑的寿命周期内，最大限度地节约资源(节能、节地、节水、节材)、保护环境和减少污染，为人们提供健康、适用和高效的使用空间，与自然和谐共处。

　　Alexia was 16 at the time，a student at Westwood High School.The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one­room school.Even though Armato trusted her daughter，the other students and the teachers，she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines，possible accidents，and medical care.

　　(2016·宁夏银川一中月考)Liverpool is famed for many things—most especially The Beatles and its football team.But few would associate the city with one of the most famous political speeches in history. Yet tourism officials in the city have published the claim that Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” was written at a city centre hotel. The allegation(说法) has been made in a guide to a major art event named Liverpool Discovers.

　　A map in the guide shows more than 20 locations where famous people were born along with places associated with celebrities(名人) and events in their life. The guide claims，“Martin Luther King visited his supporters in Liverpool three times, and the first draft of his famous speech ‘I Have a Dream’ is claimed to have been written at Adelphi Hotel.” The speech, delivered to civil rights campaigners on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in 1963, is one of the most quoted texts in history and was a definitive moment in the American Civil Rights Movement and in the fight for racial equality.

　　Dr. King’s biographer, Godfrey Hodgson, said that the suggestion did not fit the facts. He said, “I don’t believe it. If he had been to Liverpool, there would have been massive media reports, as he would have been a big figure by then. Dr. King did visit the UK on a number of occasions but he was not in the UK around the time of this famous speech in 1963.” Prof. John Belcham, a history lecturer of University of Liverpool who wrote an 800­year history of Liverpool in 2008, confirmed that he was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and the city.

　　【解题导语】　本文主要探讨了Liverpool这座城市是否与 Martin Luther King有关。

　　C．most people think Liverpool is known for the famous speech “I Have a Dream”

　　D．the claim that “I Have a Dream” was written in Liverpool still lacks evidence

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的“But few would associate the city with one of the most famous political speeches in history.”可知，作者间接地告诉我们《我有一个梦想》是在Liverpool写的这种说法缺乏证据，即D项正确。

　　10．The guide offers relevant information about ________.

　　A．the places associated with celebrities

　　B．the families of celebrities

　　C．the contributions of celebrities

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，这本旅游指南提供的相关信息是与名人之间有联系的地方，即A项正确。

　　King wrote the speech himself.

　　C．The connection between Dr.

　　King and Liverpool was doubted by some experts.

　　12．What would be the best title for this passage?
