(10 points)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.“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.”Andrew Mellor, of PRP architects, says external walls will need to be about 7cm thicker than previously.“Glazing on windows, doors and roof lights must cover no more than 25% of the floor area to prevent heat loss, ” he says.“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.”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.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 housebuilding at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of homeownership,” says Rolande. “An average extension will probably see around £3,000 additional cost thanks to the new regs.” 根据题干Brian Berry进行定位,原文提到“All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high.”,即在价格已经高得离谱的时候,所有这些都会增加成本。对于消费者而言,新政策的发布会让原本就很高的房价继续攀高。D项为原文的同义改写,故D项正确。根据题干Gareth Belsham进行定位,原文提到“people who are upgrading, or extending their home, will be directly affected”,即考虑升级或者扩建房屋的人们会受到影响。F项为原文的同义改写,故F项正确。根据题干Marcus Jefford定位定位,原文提到“Builders which have costed projects, but have not filed the paperwork, may need to go back and submit fresh estimates”,即已经估算项目成本但尚未提交文件的建筑商可能需要回去提交新的估算。B项为原文的同义改写,故B项正确。根据John Kelly进行定位,原文提到“John Kelly, a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm, believes prices will eventually come down. But not in the immediate future.”,即房价最终一定会下降,但并不是在短期之内。所以,房价的下跌只是一个时间问题。A项为原文的同义改写,故A项正确。根据Andrew Mellor 进行定位,原文提到“”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.”,即随着时间的推移,房主很可能会通过节省能源账单来收回这笔费用。目前情况显然会很不稳定,但随着时间的推移,他们会从中受益。G项为原文的同义改写,故G项正确。Poetry is powerful. Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader, transport them to another world and make then see things differently. Through carefully selected words and phrases, poems can be dramatic, funny, beautiful, moving and inspiring.诗歌的力量是强大的。它的能量和节奏可以捕捉每一种表达,后将他们运用到另一个世界,并使他们以不同的方式看待事物。尽管诗歌是由精心挑选的单词和短语构成的,但它可以是戏剧性的、有趣的、美丽的、动人的和鼓舞人心的。。1) make a suggestion, andDo not参考范文How are you doing recently?

In the first place, it is universally acknowledged that the relevant health departments has spared more efforts to advocate and encourage the public to pay attention to the physical and mental health. In addition, there is no denying that with the rapid development of social media such as short videos, more and more residents can get more health tips online. Last but not least, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 has been a wake-up call for many people, who began to focus on healthy and nutritious diet and do exercise, which is another significant factor that could not be ignored.
