三、阅读理解(30分) A.
A
What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects 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 architects 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 (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 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 to 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 of hot air to flow out at the chimney.
( )31.?We can heat 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 gardens on its walls.
( )32.?What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A.?It will take in light.??? B.?It will produce energy.
C.?It will turn dark.????? D.?It will turn white.
( )33.?The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future????????????.
A.?will be more delicious.???? B.?need more cooks.
C.?cost as much as possible.??? D.?will be greener.
( )34.?A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause???????????.
A.?pollution.?????????? B.?accident.???????? C.?noise.????????? D. techniques.
( )35.?What is the best title? of the passage?
A.?Green house of the future.??????????????????????? B.?The greener, the better.
C. How to build green houses. D. Changes of the houses.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.【21教育】
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
( )36. The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.
A. parents and other people B. school kids and their parents

( )37 Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.
A. don’t get to them often B. write a letter to them 【21教育名师】
C. don’t speak to them politely D. express yourself well
( )38. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “_______”.
A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed
C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly
( )39. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better ___.
A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them
C. agree with them all the time D. know about their values
( )40. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. parents and children should not have a generation gap
B. parents should show love and respect to their children
C. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gap
D. there are so many serious problems in families today
C.
Holding doors open, picking up rubbish, thanking people … these acts of kindness seem very small. But students at Tibbetts Middle School know that it’s the small acts that make the world a better place.
Eighth-graders from New Mexico, US, took part in the Random (随意) Acts of Kindness Week from Feb 10 to 14. During the week, they tried their best to do kind things for others, or for the environment.
Celeste Murray, an English teacher at the school, started the activity. “I believe the world is changed by little things,” she told the local newspaper. Over the week, Murray said she has seen changes in her class. Previously, she asked her students to push the chairs in after class. Now, the students do it by themselves. “The teachers will have less work,” said Elisea Castaneda, one of Murray’s students.
Jordin Marshall, another eighth-grader, spent the week giving out praise (赞扬). “It makes that person’s day (使那个人开心),” she said. “Besides helping others, the activity made students feel that they can make a difference,” Murray said.
Eighth-grader Haley Echols decided to continue to do at least one act of kindness every week. She believes her acts could encourage others.
( )41. Random Acts of Kindness Week was started by .
A. some eighth-graders B. the school C. a teacher D. some parents
( )42. What kind of act of kindness is not mentioned?
A. Giving out praise. B. Holding doors open. C. Picking up rubbish. D. Donating money.
( )43. The underlined word “Previously” means .21*cnjy*com

( )44. Elisea thinks if students push in chairs after class, .
A. teachers’ work can be reduced B. the environment will be better

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December
1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.【21cnj*y.co*m】
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
£100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

One possible version:
Our environment is becoming worse and worse. As students, we should go to school on foot or by bike every day. We ought to save water and remember to turn off the lights when we leave the classroom. Whenever we see the rubbish on the ground, we should pick it up and throw it into dustbins. 2-1-c-n-j-y
Beautiful environment can make us feel happy and comfortable. To protect the environment means to protect our home. Remember that it’s our duty to protect the environment.
