Architects﹡believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sureis that the houses will be as green as possible.The tree houseMany architects in the world would like to build a “treehouse.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlightduring the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil﹡to the tem- perature at home.The Lizard houseLike a lizard﹡, 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 homeThis design is perhaps as much about the future of food production. 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 pastLooking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques﹡can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney﹡can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.( ) 1.

One day the top ic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learnthat not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.“How do you now?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was greatly surprised .So mom’s cooking and critic i zing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that gettin g good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments* with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the w ords without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing* we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.4. The foreign teacher ________.A. likes to say “I love you” to greetB. learns Chinese in the schoolC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China5.

She is meeting her daughter at the door.B. She loves her daughter and misses her.C. She is glad that she has more time to herself.D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.7. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Say “I love you” more to your family.B. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.C. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.CLondon OlympicsThe 2018 Olympic Games will take place in London.This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watchthe exciting games in 3-D on CCTV. When you watch3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair ofglasses. The 3-D glasses make the images from the screen look like they are there in the room with you.Three-dimensional, or 3-D, means having three dimensions*: width, height and depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eyes work. Because the pupils of a person’s eyes are about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from a different angle*. Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth.When we view media such as pictures and television in two dimensions, each eye gets the same information. That is because the image has no real depth, and there is only one way of viewing it. So the goal of 3-D technology is to get a different image into each eye of the viewer. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. The 3-D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we’re watching. However, it also has its disadvantages. The 3-D glasses work by controlling the amount of light that reaches the eyes. It makes the screen look darker. What’s more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the images.8. Acoording to the passage, we can see 3-D TV with the help of ________.A. the exciting gamesB. the special glassesC. the dark screenD. the images in the room9. The second paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. how we see things in 3-DB. how 3-D films are madeC. what the human brain does for our eyesD. how different images get into the brain10.

Which of the following is TRUE?A. 3-D glasses help people get the same image in each eye.B. 3-D glasses make the screen look brighter.C. A 3-D film needs two film projectors to be made.D. People with eye problems can’t see 3-D films.DA company, Guizhentang, has had to face a storm of criticism.The company is in the bear bile* business. They have bear farms inwhich bile is taken out and used in traditional Chinese medicine andfor other purposes.Bile is a liquid that is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. In bears (and in humans too), bile is necessary to help digestfatty foods. Traditional Chinese medicine uses bear bile to treat pain,fever and vision problems. Bile for traditional Chinese medicine used to be collected by killing bears, but it was discovered that bear bile could be got by keeping the bears alive and just “milking” them by putting a rubber tube* into the bodies of bears. Unfortunately, this is a painful process and the bears have to live a life of suffering*.Animal rights groups want this practice to stop. They say it is a cruel way to treat animals. Guiz hentang disagrees. They say the practice isn’t harmful and that they are actually helping the bears. There are fewer Chinese black bears, from which the bile is taken, because human activityis destroying the forest the bears live in. The company says bear farms are a way to protect the species. On the one hand, we use many types of animals for food, clothing, medicine and for medical research. On the other hand, we should know that causing animals great pain is wrong.There are man-made substitutes* for bear bile that work just as well as the real thing, so bear farms aren’t really necessary. If Guizhentang really wants to protect the black bear, they should perhaps think about getting out of the bear bile business.12. Guizhentang has been criticized because ________.A. it kills a lot of black bearsB. it makes traditional Chinese medicineC. it is in the bear bile businessD. it has a lot of farms to keep bears13.
