考研英语二阅读理解解题Modified by JACK on the afternoon of December 26, 2020阅读理解解题流程Text 1The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert‘s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers asfaint praise.For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs animpressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. These recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert‘s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a m arkedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between Am erica‘s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract.21. We learn from Paragraph 1 that Gilbert’s appointmenthas________.[A]incurred criticism[B]raised suspicion.[C]received acclaim[D]aroused curiosity.22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is _______.[A]influential[B]modest[C]respectable[D]talented23. The author believes that the devoted concertgoers_________.[A]ignore the expenses of live performances[B]reject most kinds of recorded performances[C]exaggerate the variety of live performances[D]overestimate the value of live performances24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.[B]They are easily accessible to the general public.[C]They help improve the quality of music.[D]They have only covered masterpieces.25. Regarding Gilbert‘s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels ______.[A]doubtful[B]enthusiastic[C]confident[D]puzzledText 2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he cameright out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal ofrunning a compan y.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It alsosent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn‘t alone. In recent weeks the executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plansin response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. Inthe third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according toLiberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: “I can‘t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable tobe between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”26. When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being ________.[A]arrogant[B]frank[C]self-centered[D]impulsive27. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be spurred by ______.[A]their expectation of better financial status[B]their need to reflect on their private life[C]their strained relations with the boards[D]their pursuit of new career goals28. The word “poached”（Line 3, Paragraph 4）most probably means _______.[A]approved of[B]attended to[C]hunted for[D]guarded against29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.[A]top performers used to cling to their posts[B]loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated[C]top performers care more about reputations[D]it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules30. Which of the following is the best title for the text[A]CEOs: Where to Go[B]CEOs: All the Way Up[C]Top Managers Jump without a Net[D]The Only Way Out for Top PerformersText 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisements – still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company may leverage “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the process of making purchase decisions means that marketing’s impact stems from a broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the initiator for users‘ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media – for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend, which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more（and more diverse）communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of thetarget company at risk. In such a case, the company‘s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage withconsumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.may create “earned” media when they are_______.[A] obsessed with online shopping at certain Web sites[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products32. According to Paragraph 2, sold media feature __________.[A] a safe business environment[B] random competition[C] strong user traffic[D] flexibility in organization33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media_________.[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.34. Toyota Motor‘s experience is cited as an example of__________.[A] responding effectively to hijacked media[B] persuading customers into boycotting products[C] cooperating with supportive consumers[D] taking advantage of hijacked media35. Which of the following is the text mainly about[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.[C] Dominance of hijacked media.[D] Popularity of owned media.Text 4It‘s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story. “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter – nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image onnewsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single – mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing It doesn‘t s eem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the childless. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugelyunrealistic, especially when the parents are single motherslike Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their “own”（read: with round-the-clock help）is a piece of cake. It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.Senior suggests in her article that raising a child canbring______.[A]temporary delight[B]enjoyment in progress[C]happiness in retrospect[D]lasting rewardlearn from Paragraph 2 that ________.[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining[D]having children is highly valued by the publicis suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks ________.[A]are constantly exposed to criticism[B]are largely ignored by the media[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their lifeto Paragraph 4, the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is ______.[A]soothing[B]ambiguous[C]compensatory[D]misleadingof the following can be inferred from the last paragraph[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing. Text 5Text 3The US$3-million Fundamental Physics Prize is indeed an interesting experiment, as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in Ma rch. And it is far from the only one of its type. As a News Feature article in Nature discusses, a string of lucrative awards for researchers have joined the Nobel Prizes in recent years. Many, like the Fundamental Physics Prize, are funded from the telephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs. These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science.What’s not to like Quite a lot, according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature. You cannot buy class, as the old saying goes, and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels. The new awards are an exercise in self-promotion for those behind them, say scientists. They could distort the achievement-based system of peer-review-led research. They could cement the status quo ofpeer-reviewed research. They do not fund peer-reviewed research. They perpetuate the myth of the lone genius.The goals of the prize-givers seem as scattered as the criticism. Some want to shock, others to draw people into science, or to better reward those who have made their careers in research.As Nature has pointed out before, there are some legitimate concerns about how science prizes –both new and old –are distributed. The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, launched this year, takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sciences include. But the N obel Foundation’s limit of three recipients per prize, each of whom must still be living, has long been outgrown by the collaborative nature of modern research – as will be demonstrated by the inevitable row over who is ignored when it comes to acknowledging the discovery of the Higgs boson. The Nobels were, of course, themselves set up by a very rich individual who had decided what he wanted to do with his own money. Time, rather than intention, has given them legitimacy.As much as some scientists may complain about the new awards, two things seem clear. First, most researchers would accept such a prize if they were offered one. Second, it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere. It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism –that is the culture of research, after all –but it is the prize-givers’ money to do with as they please. It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.31. The Fundamental Physics Prize is seen as ______[A] a symbol of the entrepreneurs’ wealth.[B] a possible replacement of the Nobel Prizes.[C] an example of bankers’ investments.[D] a handsome reward for researchers.32. The critics think that the new awards will most benefit ________[A]the profit-oriented scientists.[B]the founders of the new awards.[C]the achievement-based system.[D]peer-review-led research.33. The discovery of the Higgs boson is a typical case which involves _______[A]controversies over the recipients’ status.[B]the joint effort of modern researchers.[C]legitimate concerns over the new prizes.[D]the demonstration of research findings.34. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following is true of the Nobels?[A]Their endurance has done justice to them.[B]Their legitimacy has long been in dispute.[C]They are the most representative honor.[D]History has never cast doubt on them.35. The author believes that the new awards are ______[A]acceptable despite the criticism.[B]harmful to the culture of research.[C]subject to undesirable changes.[D]unworthy of public attention.Text 6“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS)，deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by “federal, state and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors and others”to “maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.” In response, the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the commission’s 51members are top-tier-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, andbusiness executives, as well as prominent figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry, the report supports full literacy, stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2 years in the making, “The Heart of the Matter” never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading collegesand universities. The commission ignores that for several decades America’s colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing “progressive, ”or le ft-liberal propaganda.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance —as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.36. According to Paragraph 1, what is the author’s attitude toward the AAAS’s report?[A] Critical[B] Appreciative.[C] Contemptuous.[D] Tolerant.37. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to ______[A] retain people’s interest in liberal education.[B] define the government’s role in education.[C] keep a leading position in liberal education.[D] safeguard individuals’ rights to education.38. According to Paragraph 3, the report suggests _______[A] an exclusive study of American history.[B] a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.[C] the application of emerging technologies.[D] funding for the study of foreign languages.39. The author implies in Paragraph 5 that professors are ________[A] supportive of free markets.[B] cautious about intellectual investigation.[C] conservative about public policy.[D] biased against classical liberal ideas.40. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”[B] Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”[C] The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education[D] Progressive Policy vs. Liberal Education。

2英语二学习技巧英语(二)词汇记忆方法英语二词汇要求达到3800词，词组750.有的同学问是不是就只要背下册书的词汇就行了，回答是不够的，肯定是不够的，因为词汇没有说只考下册，上册也要背。
但是有人说我短期内怎么记住这些大量的词汇呢?大家词汇学习第一个应该是有一定的时间，因为有的同学说一个星期或者两个星期教给你方法能够记住几千，他这个方法有点儿像变魔术，不太现实，我觉得词汇是一个积存。
因为从心理学角度来讲学词汇有两个方向，一个方向是要把词汇学习的时候印象深入，一个词能够像串葡萄似的串出一串来，比如同义词、反义词、近义词，应该把有关联的词互相记忆。
第二，词汇一定得重复，从心理学角度学词必须这样。
英语(二)学习重点英语是一种语言，任何语言都是由词和句子构成的，所以光会了词，不会把这些词组成句子是不行的，因此怎么组成句子呢?得知道组成句子的规则，还有一些习惯用法，你必须要了解这种语言的文化，所以说学英语光学词是不行的，因此是除了学词以外还得学词的用法以及文化，习惯用法就是一种文化，死背根本记不住。
为什么记不住?背的这个词应该是灵活的，怎么灵活呢?这个词首先要知道词性是什么，做个句子，学了一个词不会做句子造一个短语，还要大声的念，李阳疯狂英语为什么风靡全国，就是要把词大声地念出来，这样从耳朵里能够听进去的，对大脑的刺激比眼睛里看见的要强得多，所以学习词汇的一个技巧要大声念，要组一个词或者组一个短语，这样记忆比光看两遍、写几遍要好得多。

考研英语(二)第二部分阅读理解(上)
考研英语（二）第二部分阅读理解（上）（江南博哥）材料题根据以下材料，回答1-5题The number of children who have died from heatstroke this year after being left or getting trapped in hot cars is among the highest on record.So far in 2019, 49 children have died from vehicular heatstroke, according to the National Safety Council, anon-profit safety group.While most deaths occur during the hotter summer months, they can also happen in other seasons and with outside temperatures in the 60s, said Jan Null, a lecturer in meteorology at San Jose State University.More deaths could happen before the end of the year, though Mr.Null pointed out that the last death in 2018 was in September.The growing number of hot-car deaths—an average of 38 each year for the past two decades—displays the difficultly of pinpointing their cause and finding viable solutions,advocates say.Most of these deaths occurred when a parent or caregiver unintentionally left a child in the car and about a quarter of them happened when a child got into a car on their own, and about 19% occurred after a caregiver knowingly left a child in the car, according to Mr.Null. "Nobody wants to accept the fact that you're capable of doing this, but it's just how our brains work,"said Janette Fennell, president and founder of ."If you can forget your keys or your cellphone, you certainly have the capability of forgetting your child."The temperature inside a car can rise about 20 degrees in just 10 minutes, according to researchers.Heatstroke can happen when a person's body temperature reaches 104 degrees, and it could turn lethal for children when their body temperature reaches 107 degrees.While the U.S.has experienced record-setting heat in recent years, Mr.Null said he couldn't specify an exact cause for the increase in child heatstroke deaths because a complex set of factors can play a role.Beyond the temperature outside or where a car is parked, psychological factors can come into play.As such, "there's not going to be one solution," he said.Child-safety groups have pushed public-awareness campaigns over the years, and advocated for legislation and new technology in automobiles.A number of states have passed laws forbidding a person from leaving a child unattended in a vehicle because of safety concerns.For several years, advocacy groups have also pushed Congress to pass the Hot Cars Act,which would require new cars to be outfitted with child-safety alert systems.Bills were introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives earlier this year.1、[单选题]In Paragraph 2, Jan Null pointed out that_____A.summer was the only season to cause hot-car deathsB.more deaths from vehicular heatstroke would happen this yearC.it is imperative to call for more attention to the car deathsD.other seasons could be more dangerous than summer正确答案：B参考解析：More deaths could happen before the end of the year, though Mr.Null pointed out that the last death in 2018 was in September. 尽管2018年最后一次死亡时间发生在9月，但是Jan Null认为年底前可能会有更多类似的死亡事件发生。

2024年考研英语二阅读Text2试题及答案完整版PassageIn recent years, the concept of "inclusive growth" has gained significant attention in both academic and policy-making circles. The idea is to ensure that economic growth benefits everyone, rather than just the wealthy. This has led to a renewed focus on wealth distribution and therole of education in narrowing the economic gap. This passage will discuss the importance of inclusive growth, the challenges it faces, and the role of education in achieving it.The Importance of Inclusive GrowthInclusive growth is crucial for sustainable economic development. When growth is inclusive, it leads to a reduction in poverty and inequality, fostering social cohesion and stability. In contrast, exclusive growth can exacerbate social divisions, leading to social unrest and political instability. Inclusivegrowth ensures that all segments of society benefit from economic progress, thereby enhancing overall societal well-being.The Challenges of Inclusive GrowthDespite the importance of inclusive growth, achieving it is fraught with challenges. One major challenge is the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities. The wealthy often have better access to resources, such as education and healthcare, which enables them to benefit more from economic growth. In contrast, the poor are often left behind, struggling to improve their living conditions. This creates a cycle of poverty that is difficult to break.Another challenge is the lack of political will. In many cases, policy-makers are more concerned with short-term economic growth and political gains than with long-term inclusive growth. This can result in policies that prioritize the interests of the wealthy, perpetuating inequality.The Role of Education in Inclusive GrowthEducation is a powerful tool for achieving inclusive growth. By providing access to quality education, societies can empower individuals to improve their economic prospects and contribute to overall economic development. Here are some ways in which education can promote inclusive growth:1. Enhancing Human Capital: Education equips individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to participate in the modern economy. This enables them to secure better jobs and earn higher incomes, thereby reducing poverty and inequality.2. Promoting Social Mobility: Education can break the cycle of poverty by providing opportunities for upward mobility. When individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds have access to quality education, they can overcome the barriers that prevent them from escaping poverty.3. Fostering Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Education encourages innovation andentrepreneurship, which are crucial for sustainable economic growth. By nurturing the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs, education can drive economic progress and create jobs.4. Strengthening Social Cohesion: Education promotes social cohesion by fostering a sense of community and shared values. This can help reduce social divisions and promote inclusive growth.5. Encouraging Gender Equality: Education can play a significant role in promoting gender equality, which is essential for inclusive growth. By providing girls and women with access to quality education, societies can empower them to participate fully in economic and social life.ConclusionIn conclusion, inclusive growth is a vital aspect of sustainable economic development. It ensures that all members of society benefit from economic progress, fostering social cohesion and stability.

2023年考研英语二真题答案之阅读理解Part B 部分
2023年考研英语二真题答案之阅读理解Part B 部分Part BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column. There are two extra choices in the right column.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points) Net-zero rules set to send cost of new homes and extensions soaring. New building regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency are set to increase the price of new homes,as well as those of extensions and loft conversions on existing ones.The rules, which came into effect on Wednesday in England, are part of government plans to reduce the UK's carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. They set new standards for ventilation, energy efficiency and heating, and state that new residential buildings must have charging points for electric vehicles.The moves are the most significant change to building regulations in years, and industry experts say they will inevitably lead to higher prices at a time when a shortage of materials and high labour costs is already driving up bills.Brian Berry, chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders, a trade group for Brian Berry small and medium-sized builders, says the measures will require new materials, testing methods, products and systems to be installed. "All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high. Inevitably, consumers will have to pay more,"he says.Gareth Belsham, of surveyors Naismiths, says people who are upgrading, or extending their home, will be directly affected."The biggest changes relate to heating and insulation, " he says. "There are new rules concerning the amount of glazing used in extensions, and any new windows or doors must be highly insulated."The changes could mean an extra £3,000 added to the bill of an average home extension, according to Jonathan Rolande of the National Association of Property Buyers, a group of professionals aimed at raising construction standards.Homeowners extending may see the amount of space they have decrease, as walls will have to be thicker in order to comply with requirements for better insulation.Andrew Mellor, of PRP architects, says external walls will need to be about 7cm thicker than previously.Windows and doors will have to adhere to higher standards, while there are new limits on the amount of glazing you can have to reduce unwanted heat from the sun.Thomas Goodman, of My Job Quote, a site which sources quotes, says this will bring in new restrictions for extensions."Glazing on windows, doors and rooflights must cover no more than 25% of the floor area to prevent heat loss," he says.As properties become more airtight, there are also measures to ensure proper airflow, such as having small openings (trickle vents) on windows that allow ventilation when a window is closed.For people extending their homes, they may be required to install a new, or replacement, heating system depending on the size of the build, says Belsham. These will have to use lower temperature water to deliver the same heat, which will require increased insulation of pipes."We'll see more insulation, better lighting design and restrictions on the amount of glass used in some areas. But with more thermal -efficient homes can come the risk of overheating due to solar gain, and so ventilation is also covered," says Rolande."As a result, double -glazed windows will require trickle vents to let heat escape and also to provide fresh air for health reasons and, of course, to reduce the risk of condensation build up in an ever-more airtight property.As the rules came into effect last Wednesday, property developers were rushing to file plans just before the deadline, according to Belsham. Any plans submitted before that dateare considered to be under the previous rules, and can go ahead as long as work starts before 15 June next year.Builders which have costed projects, but have not filed the paperwork, may need to go back and submit fresh estimates, says Marcus Jefford of Build Aviator, which prices projects.As the changes are aimed to make homes more energy efficient, they will eventually drive down heating bills.But in the short-term homeowners are likely to face higher costs for work.Materials prices are already up 25% in the last two years, according to figures from the Construction Products Association.How much overall prices will increase as a result of the rule changes is not clear.“While admirable in their intentions, they will add to the cost of house building at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of home ownership, " says Rolande. "An average extension will probably see around £3,000 additional cost thanks to the new regs."John Kelly, a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm, believes prices will eventually comedown. But not in the immediate future. "As the marketplace adapts to the new requirements, and the technologies that support them, the scaling up of these technologies will eventually bring costs down, but in the short term, we will all have to pay the price of the necessary transition," he says.However, the long -term effects of the changes will be more comfortable andenergy-efficient homes, adds Mellor." Homeowners will probably recoup that cost over time in energy bill savings. It will obviously be very volatile at the moment, but they will have that benefit over time."41.Brian Berry答案： D.The new rules will take home price to an even higher level.42.Gareth Belsham答案： F.The new rules will affect people whose home -extensions include new windows or doors.43.Marous Jefford答案： B.Builders possibly need to submit new estimates of their projects.44.John Kelly答案： A.the rise of home prices is a temporary matter.45.Andrew Mellor答案：G.The rule changes will benefit homeowners eventually.。
