三, 阅读理解。 (15 分)
What will 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 possible. 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 "roof' of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to keep the home' s temperature.
The Lizard House
Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of lizard house. When it' s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will mm 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 in them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
( ) 1. 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 the sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground D. with the energy from wind
( ) 2. The 'roof' of the house uses the soil to___________.
A. keep the home' s temperature B. produce electricity
C. protect it from the cold wind D. create fresh air for the home
( ) 3. 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 mm dark. D. It will mm white.
( ) 4. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future will________.
A. be more delicious B. need more cooks
C. be greener D. become more
( ) 5. Ifyou want to live in a house with changing color, you can choose________.
A. the Tree House B. the Lizard House
C. the Village House D. the City House

五、阅读填空。(20分)
Man did not have to think about the protection of his environment in the past. There were not many people on the Earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited(无限的).
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on the Earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that iftoo many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none
left. Yet, with modem fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that iftoo many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land.
We realize that ifrivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries, waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people that land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly ifpeople use modem methods of birth control.
Finally, ifwe educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
The importance of 1 the environment
Problems More fish being 2
More 3 being cut down.
More waste products being put into rivers or the Sea.
More 4 being bom.
Causes The world is becoming too 5
Modem methods make the situation 6
7 We human beings(人类) will not survive on the Earth.
Solutions Eat more 8 and less meat so that more food will be available for everyone.
Use modem methods of 9 control so that the population will not grow too fast.
Educate people so that the 10 will be better and cleaner.
1._________ 2.__________ 3. ___________ 4.___________ 5._____________
6.___________ 7___________ 8.___________ 9.___________ 10.____________

六, Dear Jim,
Now, I' m writing a letter to you on Mars. It' s really wonderful to live on Mars. I think life on Mars is more comfortable and more interesting than that on the Earth. We have online schools instead of teal ones. We have lessons, do our homework, take exams and talk to teachers and classmates through the computer connected to the interplanetary network at home. It' s not so crowded here so we have more space to live in. Most of our housework is done by robots so that we can have more time for our hobbies, Mars is very beautiful. There are green trees and pretty flowers everywhere, and there is no pollution here. We have super-markets in our neighbourhood. They make our life mom convenient.
Yours,
Kate
