"A 100 percenttreehouse would take _44_ to create," Joachimsaid．__45_ the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to __46_ theprocess.

A home would becomean actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteriaworking together. The trees would also give off water vapor thatwould assist in _49__ the homes. Solar panels and wind wouldhelp provide _50__. The tree homes mighteven have soil pockets, __51_ plants could grow from thestructure itself.

随着人们环保意识的增长，保护大自然，爱护大自然已经成为人们的共识。最近美国建筑家设计了一种更环保的建筑方式，让活生生的树自然长成一座房子。
36.D由下文可知，Joachim的主意与上面提到的不同。
37.A由下文意义可知，这座房子是由活生生的树建成的。
38.CJoachim主意是建立在“将树枝编织在一起这种想法”上。用be based on表示“建立在……的基础上”。
39.B由上文的pleaching，树枝在成长的过程中，“自然”编织在一起。
40.B植物的生长受风和阳光的“影响”。
41.A有可能控制树林生长的方式。
42.D由上文“将树木自然长成房子的形状”，显然是指这种设计的优点。
43.B这种设计的优点是不用将树砍倒来取木材，at ease“自由自在”。
44.D 由下文from 5to 30 years to grow可知，此处意为“一座100%的活树房子要很多年才能建成”。
45.A依靠自然的气候的条件，要5 到30年才能长出一座房子来。
46.A由句中的副词Fortunately可知，有办法“加快”房子修建的进程。
47.C由下文例出的材料sod, grasses and living branches判断，此处应为“生态材料”。
48.B此处为时间状语从句，意为：在生长的过程中，这些材料能够动。
49.C由上文“发出水蒸气”，自然可得出“使房子凉爽”。
50.B根据主语“太阳能帆板和风”的功能推断，是给房子提供能源。
51.A此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词soil pockets表示地点，所以用where。
52.D由上下文可知，此项工程已经开始。并非“完成、控制或停止”。
53.D 由下文他说的Theenvironment and its study are veryimportant可知，此处表示“他深信他工作的重要性”。
54.B他使用的是不破坏自然的天然材料。D项coming from与natural products的意义重复。
55.C由上文的“尊重大自然”(respect nature)，可得出“想当然，漠不关心”。think we are it 自鸣不凡；doit ourselves自作主张；put it like this解释。

这是一篇趣味性记叙文。作者通过一件小事描写了祖母和祖父的两个截然不同的处理方法。表现出祖母脾气蛮横，祖父性格温和。人物性格鲜明突出。
36．B前文说她邀请了一些亲戚朋友到公寓里聚会。此处表示：在这些客人中。
37．D由a neighborhood big shot可知：是做生意发了财的大款。do well insth.在……方面很出色。
38．A因家里有钱以及下文的and very much used to getting her ownway可知：他们的小女儿被宠得非常娇气，脾气很蛮横。spoil宠坏，溺爱。
39．A晚会进行中，我走进了洗手间并随手把门关上。make one’s way to向……走去。Find one’s way找到去……的路；push one’s way 挤出……的路；wind one’s way 蜿蜒前进。
40．B由and grandly walked in得知：那个小女孩推开洗手间的门。
41．Cbe supposed to do sth.理应做……；应该做……。句意为：“难道你不知道当一个男孩在使用洗手间的时候女孩子是不可以进来的吗！？
42．D由上文得知：男孩很生气。
43．A听到我生气的吼声，她一下子惊呆了，然后她边哭边向她的父母和我的祖母告状。
44．B当我从洗手间出来，祖母劈头盖脸地把我骂了一通。
45．C等她骂完叫我滚开之后，晚会继续进行。dismiss使退去，退下，解散。
46．D当祖母从洗手间走过的时候，她发现有股水流从门缝里涌出来。
47．A她猛力地撞开洗手间的门，发现洗手盆和浴缸都被塞子塞住了。
48．B水龙头被拧到最大，水正哗啦啦地直流。
49．C每个人都知道是谁搞的鬼，愤怒的祖母使劲地挥舞着双手要打我，客人们马上在我周围形成了一堵人墙保护我。productive多产的；protective保护性的。
50．A此处是so…that 句型，表示“如此愤怒，（尽管有人墙保护）差点打了我”。
51．B祖父牵着我的手来到窗前。表示牵着/抓着某人的手或其它部位的句型为：主语+ take / catch / hold / getetC．+sB．+ 介词by +the +身体某部位。此处的the 不能用his, her, my代替。bysurprise，with anxiety与句子意义不符。
52．D此处进一步讲述祖父是个什么样的人。由上文Hewas a kind and gentle man, full of wisdom andpatience可知：他很少提高嗓门和别人说话。从句子结构上分析，此处是倒装形式，只有否定意义的副词位于句首才能倒装。
53．A由上文kind and gentle man可知：他也从来没有和祖母吵架。
54．C由下文意义可知祖父的反映是：没有半点生气或烦恼的样子。
55．B此处表示“祖母她先无缘无故地骂了我一顿”，这回小男孩故意捣乱之后让她骂就有理由了。

本文是根据美国著名作家(MarkTwain)马克•吐温的故事改编的一篇记叙文。故事讲述的是“一块精美、走时准确手表最终成为废物”的全过程。选项设计上侧重训练学生的英语语感和词义辨析能力。
36．Cfor certain“无疑地，确定地”，是一个固定用法，相当于without doubt, for sure；forcertainty应为for a certainty才对。
37．Akeep time“走时准确”，是习惯用法，tell time“报时”，observe time“守时”，strike表“鸣钟”时，常用结构为“strike the hours（每小时报时一次）; strike12这种刚敲12点”。
38．Bwind sth. up“上（钟或表）的弦；上发条”。
39．Dset a clock / watch “对钟；对表；将闹钟等定时”。
40．Aas用来引导表原因的状语从句。
41．D从上文中的be pushed up得知，手表的时间慢了四分钟，而不是快了四分钟。
42．Cmake sB．do sth. / get sB．to do sth.“使某人做某事”，此题之后接了省to的不定式understand，所以用make。
43．A（指钟表）快(慢)于正确的时间，常用gain或lose。如：This watch neither gains norloses.这表不快也不慢。go只表示“钟表在走（时）”。
44．Bleave sth. far behind“使某事处于落后状态”，A、C、D都是不及物动词。
45．C表转折，意为：我原指望他迅速将表校对，可是他要我一周后才来拿。However是副词，常用逗号隔开。
46．Cslow作动词，slow down“减慢速度”。
47．A通过上下文得知作者已经去过了两个修表匠，现在要去第三个修表匠那儿。
48．Btook sth. to pieces “拆开，拆散”，在这里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”； tore“撕毁”；cut“切碎”。
49．D介词in表示“从当时算起再过多长时间”。
50．Bbut前有实义动词do时，but后要接省to的动词不定式。
51．Akeep(on)doing sth., 意为“不停地做……”。taking “拿去”；bringing“拿来”；fetching“去拿来”； carrying“提起，拿起”，无方向性。
52．Btell the time指“能够看懂钟表上的时间；看钟表等而说出时间”。不要受中文影响而错用understand。
53．Dget 是连系动词，其后要接形容词作表语，可排除A、C，再从逻辑上分析，可排除B项。
54．Ccost表示“某物花费多少钱”，有“等价交换”之意。
55．Aanother表示“另一个（与之不同的一个）”；the other表“两个当中的另一个”；one表“数量（一个）”；onemore“买了一个不够，还要再买一个”。
