21、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 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 for hot air to flow out at the chimney.

【1】What is the best title of the passage?

【3】What will happen 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.

【4】The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .

22、One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.

While I was touched(感动的) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.

He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.

A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son

C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up

【2】The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.

A. try B. help C. support D. mistake

【3】The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______.

A. might stop running when he fell down

B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run

C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running

D. was good at running and never fell down

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.

B. Falling down is the mother of success.

C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.

D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.

23、   More than 1,000 different kinds of pieces of plastic, including 115 cups, 25 bags, four bottles and two pairs of shoes, have been found inside a dead whale(鲸鱼) in Indonesia, according to local officials.

When the whale was found on the island, it was already decomposing when animal doctors arrived. So they were unable to be sure if the plastic caused its death, said Lukas, the leader of the World Wildlife Fund in Indonesia. The plastic weighed about 6 kilograms, or 13 pounds, he said.

But pictures of the dead whale caused a warm discussion. The people in the country have started to realize that it is because of using too much plastic. So has the government. Indonesia, a nation of about 260 million people was the world’s second-biggest producer of plastic waste in 2018, behind only China.

If the whales eat too much plastic, they will have a wrong feeling. They think that they are full. And that will lead them to eat less food that provides all the good things they need, said Nicholas who is the leader of the Ocean Conservancy. Moreover, eating too much plastic can make them reduce their weight, their energy and slow down their swimming. As a result, whales are easier to be hurt by the sharks and many other dangerous animals in the sea.

More than 800 kinds of animals in the sea are affected by about 8.8 million tons of plastic which is thrown away freely in the ocean each year. Plastic can also stop the animals moving freely and sometimes they will cause them to die because they have to be under the water for too long. Some plastic can make a small hole in their stomachs after they eat it.

【1】What does the underlined word “ decomposing” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. 腐烂. B. 吸收. C. 凝固. D. 飘散.

【2】Which country produced most plastic waste in 2018?

A. India. B. China. C. Indonesia. D. America.

【3】What happens to the whales after eating too much plastic?

A. They will feel hungry. B. They will die at once.

C. They will eat less healthy food. D. They will attack sharks actively.

【4】According to the passage, what can we infer?

A. Pictures of the dead whale caught few people’s attention.

B. People kill whales because they are dangerous animals.

C. Plastic can stop sea animals moving freely, even cause them to die.

D. Indonesia government will take action to stop the sea pollution.

24、Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people to save much time, and they can help people to work out many problems people can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers, except the old people.
