五、阅读理解
What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for
dinner? Architects (建筑师) believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses
will be as green as possible.
The tree house[
8BU1
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 f or 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. Du ring 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 for hot air to flow out at the chimney.
( ) 1. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Green Houses of the Future B. Different kinds of houses
C. The Greener, the Better D. How to Build Green Houses
( ) 2. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .
A. with the root of a leaf B. with the energy from sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground D. with the tree built at home
( ) 3. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A. It will turn white. B. It will produce energy.
C. It will produce light. D. It will turn dark.
( ) 4. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .
A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks

If you drop a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, will you think about eating it again? What if
you drop it in the toilet? Bacteria (细菌) can live here and there, even in some unexpected places.
If you eat at your computer or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer
keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average
computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes, the TV remote control. It
gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that around
half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗)
the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute
your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet.
Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every
three months.
The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and
kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used. Try to make
them dry.
Bacteria are everywhere, but don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless.
Just remember to wash your hands often. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and
viruses.
