Question

【題目】

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 (建筑風(fēng)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 (古老的技術(shù)) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (煙囪) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。

【1】What is the best title (標(biāo)題) of the passage?

A.with the root of a leafB.with the energy from sunlight

C.with the soil under the groundD..with gardens on its walls

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

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文講述了未來的房子會是什么樣子?唯一可以肯定的是，房子將會盡可能的環(huán)保。有幾種設(shè)想：樹屋，蜥蜴屋，在家用餐。作者認為展望未來并不是環(huán)保的唯一途徑。有時，古老的技術(shù)也可以幫助減少能源的使用。

【1】最佳標(biāo)題。根據(jù)第一段“What will the house of the future look like…will be as green as possible.”可知未來的房子會是什么樣子，所以全文圍繞這個話題展開，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“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.”可知像樹葉一樣，房子的表面在白天收集陽光。這些能量可以用來加熱水，發(fā)電，甚至為家庭創(chuàng)造新鮮空氣，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. ”可知當(dāng)它在明亮的陽光下，房子的蓋子會變暗，故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. ”可知房子的外墻有花園。人們可以在上面種西紅柿、胡蘿卜和綠茶，所以推測出應(yīng)該是更加環(huán)保，故選D。
