No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to build the house.But the houses are changing all the time.

What will the house of the future look like?Could it have gardens on its walls,or a pool with fish for dinner?Architects(建筑学家)believe that they may come true one day.The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible in the future.
Many architects in the world would like to build a 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 make fresh air for the room.The“root”(根)of the house is deep under the ground.It uses the soil to control the room’s temperature.
Like a lizard(蜥蜴),changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house.When it’s in the brisht sun,the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat.During dark days,it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
This design is perhaps for the future of food.It has a garden on the outside wall of the house.People can plant tomatoes,carrots and green tea on them.So every morning,you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green.Sometimes,the old ways of building houses 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 run out of the chimney.

A.Learning from the past
B.Meals at home
C.The lizard house
D.Houses in the future
E.The tree house
F.The history of the houses

【2012年江西】How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!
What was drawn in the earliest maps?

A.Stars.
B.Landmarks.
C.Cities and towns,
D.Mountains and rivers.

When did road maps come out?

A.Around 15th and 16th centuries.
B.When people began to travel by train.
C.When people began to travel by sea.
D.When cities and towns appeared.

Which of the following is true?

A.A GPS helped people to travel long time ago.
B.Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps.
C.The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.
D.Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Maps have a long history.
B.We never get lost these days.
C.We can't travel without maps.
D.Henry Beck designed a new map.

【2013年福建漳州】We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process(变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock(文化冲击).
Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the "adjustment(调整) period". This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者).
The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.

A.the lst period B.the 2nd period
C.the 3rd period D.the 4th period

【2013北京】
The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions (头部撞击) has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking (身体拦截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey's greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country's children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.
The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger. It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don't enjoy that environment.
For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的) for all coaches, including those teaching players in the pre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more "touch" - without real bodychecking - from 9 t0 12. It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It's worth the try.
Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it's hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country's love of the game.
There are always changes in Canada's game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.

We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada____________.

A.is controlled strictly
B.is taken more seriously now
C.is caused by players' carelessness
D.is connected with players' interest

What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?

A.The safe ways of controlling the loss.
B.The steps of drawing special attention.
C.The possible results of changing the rules.
D.The methods of improving the environment.

What can we learn from the passage?
A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.
B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.
C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players' skills in the USA.
D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.
What is probably the best title' for this passage?

A.Which is more important?
B.How do we change the rules?
C.Why is hockey a dangerous game?
D.When should bodychecking be prevented?
