24、

①There are many different houses in the world. They can be different because people are different. The houses can also be different because of where they are. Houses can be made in many shapes.

② The dome house

Some people live in windy places. Big winds, like hurricanes, can blow houses down. In one place, a house was made in the shape of a dome. When a big hurricane came, it didn't blow down. However, all the other houses around it did. A dome house is made of triangle shapes. The shape of the dome house lets the wind go around it. A house with a flat wall is not as safe in a strong wind. A dome house doesn't have a roof to blow off. There is no wind in a dome house, so it is safer in a fire. It is safe from termites（白蚁）,too. There is no wood for them to eat!

③A ball-shaped house

Some houses have been made in a shape like a ball. The walls, celing and floor are all one in a house with this shape. The wind moves around-the outside of the house. Ball-shaped houses can be hung from things or float on water.

④ ▲  

A house on the ground can take up a lot of space. A house in a tree doesn't use any space on the ground at all. No trees have to be chopped down to make room for these houses. And the tree housed can be built in the shape of bee nest（巢）. Such a house doesn't take very long to move to a new place. So it is helpful during the natural disasters.

⑤ A walking house

Some people have made a house that can walk. It is the shape of a long hexagon. The house has six legs. It can walk over any ground. It can even walk over bumpy ground. When it walks, three legs are always on the ground. A walking house would be very good if there was a flood or a fire.

⑥ Different shapes of house are so useful that different people can choose whatever they need. Which one do you prefer? Probably you can create another different shape of house one day!

【1】How many shapes of house are introduced in the article?

【2】What advantage does a dome house have?

A.It takes up little space. B.It can protect from the strong wind.

C.It can walk over any ground. D.It has more beautiful shapes.

【3】Which one could be put in the ▲   ?

A.A house in a tree B.A house in space

C.A running house D.A flying house

【4】How is the passage organized?

A. B. C. D.

25、   What will you do if you come across an English word or phrase you don't know? You'd probably look it up in the dictionary, wouldn't you? This, however, was not the case. Although English has a history of over 2,500 years, the first English dictionary didn't appear until the 17th century.

During the 16th century, Europe saw rich developments in science, medicine and arts. People had to "invent" words to express new ideas. Many new English words were borrowed from foreign language. There was also a renewed interest in ancient languages. Some new English words had roots（根）in languages like Latin and Hebrew.

The general public, however, had difficulty understanding these new words. At that time few girls would go to school. Only rich parents were able to afford professional teachers. Robert Cawdrey, an English schoolteacher, wanted to help. In 1604, he published A Table Alphabetical in London. Cawdrey hoped his dictionary would be able to help more people learn to read and write properly.

But Cawdrey's dictionary was not very dependable. The fist edition had only 120 pages. There were only 2,543 words in it. As Cawdrey's focus was on words "hard for the general public," many common words were not included. And for many words, the explanations（解释）were unclear. Take "loaf" as an example. It explained, "A piece of bread." While in today's dictionary, it reads, "A shaped mass of baked bread that is usually sliced before eating." For some words, Cawdrey used only one word to explain each of them. This made A Table Alphabetical more like a book of synonyms（同义词）than a real dictionary. While readers could check the spelling of some words using the book, they had no way of finding out what these words actually meant.

Although Cawdrey's dictionary had many problems, it was quite popular. As the saying goes, ________." In the year of 1604, people finally had something to help them read more easily!

【1】According to the article, the first English dictionary came out in ________.

A.the early 16th century B.the late 16th century

C.the early 17th century D.the late 17th century

【2】Robert Cawdrey published A Table Alphabetical in order to ________.

A.help more girls to be able to go to school

B.help people to understand the new English words

C.help his own students to read and write words properly

D.help people to become interested in learning new things

【3】Paragraph 4 is mainly about the ________ of Cawdrey's dictionary.

A.look B.history C.popularity D.disadvantage

【4】Which of the following is the most suitable（适合的）in the blank in the last paragraph?

A.Practice makes perfect. B.Where there's life, there's hope.

C.It's better to give than to receive. D.Half a loaf is better than no bread.

Monarch butterflies(帝王蝶) from the eastern part of North America make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this tiny creature(生物) travels up to 3,000 miles(4,800 kilometers) to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And what is the purpose of its long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an explanation.

The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. The other amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same place in central Mexico. How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation of Monarchs is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces, and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two to five weeks. In the fall, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. Compared to its parents, this generation has a long life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their children will be the first generation of the next circle. How amazing it is!
