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 housemany 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” of the house is deep under the ground. it uses the soil to control the homes temperature.the lizard houselike a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. when its 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 as architecture. 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 isnt the only way to be green. sometimes, ancient techniques 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.29. we can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home _.a. with the root of a leafb. with the energy from sunlightc. with the soil under the groundd. with gardens on its walls30. what will happen to the cover of the lizard house when its 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.31. a chimney can be a useful air conditioner, but it used to cause.a. pollutionb. accident c. noise d. techniquesdi remember the first time that i was extremely happy. i was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. i remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. one day, i found the source code(编码)for one of these games. without knowing or being taught any programming language, i was able to figure out some of the basic code. i just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so i could continue playing it forever. this was also my first introduction to algebra, and i didnt even know it at the time. this was a decisive moment in my life. i was quite excited because of what i was learning and what i was able to do. as a result, i was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and i was quite happy doing them too. ive noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. this enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. it also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. it may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements. success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet i know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. i know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. i know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.32. the underlined word infinite means_a. big b. limitless c. normal d. small 33. the author wants to tell us through his experience in the school that _. a. interest is the best teacher b. children are the hope of the futurec. young people are fearless d. where theres a will, theres a way34. what is the secret of happiness in the authors opinion? a. success and wealth. b. gifts and self-confidence.c. enthusiasm and good health. d. knowledge and achievements.35. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyb. wealth cant bring people any happiness and comfortc. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsd. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealth第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to celebrate world environment dayworld environment day is a yearly event
