26、The Building That Moves

Everyone knows that buildings don't move. They can't change the way they look. However, architect(建筑师)David Fisher wants to change that.

Fisher has an amazing idea. He wants to make 80-story buildings that change shape. Each floor will move around slowly. The floors will move at different speeds. Because of this, the shape of the building is always changing. “These buildings will never look the same,” says Fisher.

His idea is an interesting one. However, Fisher doesn't stop there. He also wants the building to be “green”. The building will make its own energy. In most buildings, only the top floor has a roof(屋顶). In Fisher's building, each floor will have its own roof. The roofs each have solar panels(太阳能板). This means a lot more solar energy. Also, machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind. They will turn the wind into energy.

Fisher's ideas sound impossible. However, that's what people also said before humans traveled into space!

【1】The passage is mainly talking about ________.

A.buildings for the future

B.the life of an architect

C.how green buildings work

【2】The underlined word “80­-story” means the building has 80 ________.

A.shapes B.floors C.different speeds

【3】Fisher's building can make its own energy because the building ________.

A.is tall and always moving

B.is tall and has many solar panels

C.is always moving and has many solar panels

【4】The Fisher's building will NOT get energy from ________.

A.the sun B.the water C.the wind

【5】Why does the writer say “that's what people also said before humans traveled into space”？

A.To show why Fisher's building will never work.

B.To show why Fisher's building is like a spaceship.

C.To show that unusual ideas can sometimes work.

27、

When my daughter was in primary school, one day she brought home 4 tiny trees, which were given to the students by the school to plant. None of them looked very strong but with a hope for the future.

I planted them in our backyard. Over the years an accident brought an end to three of them. All that was left was a weak tree. It grew very slowly and never got very tall. I noticed a few years ago that it was starting to die. The needles on the branches had turned brown. Only the top third of the tree was still green.

Last summer I did my best to save it but it was useless. This morning I went out and looked at it again. I was deciding on whether it would be better to just cut it down.

As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the needles. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the top branches.

I smiled when I looked at it and decided that maybe this old tree had some life and usefulness left in it yet. It may not be healthy or pretty but it was still giving a bird a home and oxygen (氧气) to this world.

This tree reminded me of something too. All of our lives have purpose. All of our lives have meaning. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath there are things for us to do, love for us to give, and joy for us to share. Until our last moment here we can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

【1】None of the tiny trees looked ______.

A.short B.tall C.weak D.strong

【2】A few years later, ______ of the trees still grew slowly in the backyard.

A.one B.two C.three D.four

【3】The writer did not cut down the tree because ______.

A.it was still a young tree B.it was giving a bird home

C.it was growing very well D.it was an old and big tree

28、   When you came to this world, she held you in her arms and thought to 【1】（her） that she would give you all she had．

When you were 1 year old, she was busy d【2】housework. Then the moment came when you called her mama for the  【3】（one） time, and you made her cry with 【4】（joyful）.

When you were 2 years old, she stood by the side of your little bed on which you were sleeping.

When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school and left you at a school 【5】is the best in your neighborhood.

When you were 12 years old, she warned you not 【6】（watch） TV shows which are not meaningful, but you didn't understand the reason and closed your door in her face.

When you were 18 years old, she drove you to the railway station, but you got on the train 【7】（excite）, and didn't even notice the woman 【8】was behind you was very sad.

When you were 40 years old, she fell ill and needed your care, but you were busy doing your work, 【9】（complain） about the trouble that parents had added to their children,

And one day, she left you forever. Gone are the days when she was with you. The only thing that you can do is to remember the【10】（happy） she brought to you.
