My grandfat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
“Famil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.
Most families ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.

What w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill the house of the future look like Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner Architects(建筑师) believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many arc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hitects in the world would like to build a "tree house". Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The "root"(根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil(土壤) to the home's temperature.
The lizard house
Like a lizard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.
66. What is the best title of the passage
A. Green Houses of the Future B. Different Kinds of Houses
C. The Greener, the Better D. How to Build Green Houses
67. We can heat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .
A. with the root of a leaf
B. with the energy from sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground
D. with the tree built at home
68. What will happe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n to the cover of the lizard house when it's in the bright sun
A. It will turn white. B. It will produce energy.
C. It will produce light. D. It will turn dark.
69. The passage s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eems to tell us that meals at home in the future .
A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks
C. will be greener D. will be easy to cook
70. A chimney can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be a useful air-conditioner but it used to cause .
A. pollution B. accidents C. noise D. change
六、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
The World W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ide Web (www 万维网) turned 25 years old on March 12th. It has become a very important part in our daily lives. We can't imagine living without the Web, the short form of the World Wide Web.
In 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )989, a British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of "pages" of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the way people live. With a click(点击) of a mouse we can read news, buy things, make friends and learn anything we're interested in.
Now, 25 y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears after its birth, how will the Web influence life in the future Scientists believe there are both advantages and disadvantages.
A gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing Web will help build "better relationships" between different cultures. Also in the future, everyday items could be connected to the Web. We could share plenty of information to make our daily lives more convenient(方便的). So one day in the future, your front door could send you a message. "Dear sir, everyone has left the house, but I'm still open!"
But scien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tists warn(警告) us that if we share personal information on the Internet it could get into the wrong hands.
"It's no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t wise to spend a whole day in front of the screen. People need to get close to nature and enjoy the sun. Never be controlled by the Internet," said Berners-Lee.
根据短文内容完成下列小题。
71. How old is the World Wide Web
72. Who came up with the idea of the Web
73. What can we do by clicking a mouse according to the passage
74. Will the Web influence life in the future
