24、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.
根据短文内容,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。
【1】【1】What is the best title (标题) of the passage?
A. Green house of the future.
B. The greener, the better.

【2】【2】We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .

D. with gardens on its walls.
【3】【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 turn dark.
D. It will turn white.
【4】【4】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.

25、The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers.
Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately(立刻). For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
【1】How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
【2】Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2?
A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do?
C. Hello, I am Sophia. D. Glad to meet you!
【3】What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage?
A. To store it in a computer.
B. To break it into smaller parts.
C. To discuss it with a friend.
D. To review it before you sleep.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.
B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.
C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.
D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.
【5】What does the sentence "Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory” mean?
A. You should tell others about your bad memory.
B. You should believe in other people all the time.
C. You should ask others to improve their memory.
D. You should be confident in your memory ability.
