The only thing for sure is that the house 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 (表面) 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.The lizard (蜥蜴) houseLike a lizard, 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 homeIt 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 isnt the only way to be green.

He was explaining the story of human being to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads (游牧); they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate (耕作) the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to finish, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?Mr. Arnold didnt know what to say. Lucy was a very clever girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. Its the same with everyone: when theres no more forest left, the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out, the fishermen move on. Thats what the nomads did, isnt it?The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized (文明的).The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said I am not a nomad!And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.（1）Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A . To experience different lifestyles.B . To go sightseeing in different places.C . To find what they could to feed themselves.D . To do more exercise to build themselves up.（2）From Paragraph 2, we can know that _.A . people got tired of living in the same placeB . people gradually got used to living in citiesC . people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD . people tended to settle down after learning farming and keeping animals（3）The teacher thought Lucys argument was _A . reasonableB . unbelievableC . puzzlingD . shocking（4）Which of the following agrees with the underline sentence I am not a nomad (Paragraph 7)?A . People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B . People use recycled materials as much as possible.C . Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D . Foresters leave the place where there is no wood left.（5）The writer tries to make us believe that _.A . mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB . its unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC . its quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD . teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravely四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共3分)25. （3分） Have you been back to the place where your ancestors lived, worked, studied and played? Robert Qian , a Chinese Canadian, already has.Now in China, he has found that his family is like a tall tree with long roots.Robert is just one young overseas Chinese who has come to visit his ancestors homeland, as part of the In Search of Roots summer camp program.

During the two-week camp, they study Chinese culture, see changes that have happened in that area, and visit interesting sights. (2) Going to their ancestors village is often the most exciting part of the trip.The students feel that they are part of the village, and experience village life. They drink from the village well, go for walks through the countryside, and watch the villagers do their daily activities.Cathy Qian, a young American student, had this to say, “ Thanks to In Search of Roots, I am beginning to understand my Chinese roots and who I am. It has been a great trip, and I have so many memories of China to take with me .”The program leaders believe strongly in the program and say that the purpose of it is to give young overseas Chinese the chance to learn more about themselves. “Ive really enjoyed the trip so far,” says Robert.“This has been a big step for me, and Im looking forward to finding out more about my roots during my time here.”_将（1）处划线部分译成汉语。_根据（2）处完成下面的句子。often the most exciting part of the trip their ancestorsvillage._根据短文内容完成下面的句子。The program In Search of Roots has helped Robert and many other overseas Chinese learn more about their and .五、 词语运用。 (共1题；共10分)26. （10分）选词填空。（用所给词的正确形式填空，有两项多余）（10分）happy, interest, problem, never, get away, eye, run , tire, have, miss ,catch, thinkA man was sitting in the doctors office.
