24、Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools. You can see the desks are not in rows and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!

The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chance to communicate.

Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles (角色). There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader” who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline (纪律) leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.

Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.

“I just looked after my own business before,” said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”

But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits (好处) now.

“ I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”

Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.

“I rarely（很少）asked others when I had problems with my English. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”

26、   Have you ever thought about how much water you use in a day?

Starting February 1st, each person in Cape Town, South Africa received a daily supply of 13 .2 gallons of water which is only enough for a 10 ---minute shower! This restriction (限制) was introduced in preparation for April 22nd, also known as Day Zero, on which the city will turn off all municipal (市政) water taps because of the overuse of fresh water these years.

Over the past three years, Cape Town has suffered from a dangerous drought (干旱). That, along with a growing population of four million people, has caused water---supply drop strongly. As of November 2017, the water level in their largest water reservoir (水库) had dropped to 28% from 102.9% in 2014. That amount is expected to come down to 13 .5% by April 22, 2018.What's worse, the last 10% of the reservoir's levels are not potable (safe to drink) because of the dirt at the bottom.

Firstly, researchers thought the cause of the drought was El Niño. Cape Town could become the first ever major city to run out of water. The government has called on people to conserve the little water they have left by way of prevention, including stopping car washing and filling up swimming pools. They are asking the public to cut showers to two minutes and reuse bathing water to flush the toilet.

When Cape Town reaches Day Zero, there will be 200 water stations scattered(分布) across the town for people to receive their daily supply of 6.6 gallons. Armed guards will stand by to make sure there is no violence(暴力冲突) or theft.

The water shortage has already influenced all parts of Cape Town. People's lives are being affected, with those in the tourism industry and businesses like car washing, seeing no chance to make a living. The relationship between people also becomes worse as neighbors are encouraged to report each other for water waste and the government plans to collect a drought tax(税收) as they are losing tax money because of the low water use.

【1】On April 22nd, people in Cape Town could have only _____ gallons of water for a whole day.

A. 13 .2 B. 13 .5 C. 10 D. 6 .6

【2】The water shortage in Cape Town has become so serious because of ________ over the past three years．

①a dangerous drought  ②a growing population

③overuse of fresh water ④fewer water reservoirs

A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④

【3】What does the word conserve in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. produce B. protect C. promise D. prepare

【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The water in the largest water reservoir has already dropped to 10%.

B. Neighbours will learn to help each other when facing the serious problem.

C. Tourism industry and business will not be influenced by the shortage of water.

D. Armed guards will work to help keep the water stations in order when Day Zero comes.

27、

What will the house of the future look 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 house

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 for 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. During 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 of hot air to flow out at the chimney.

根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

【1】What is the best title (标题) of the passage?

A.Green house of the future. B.The greener, the better.

C.How to build green houses. D.Changes of the 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 gardens on its walls

【3】What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s 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.

【4】The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future ________.

A.will be more delicious B.need more cooks

C.cost as much as possible D.will be greener

28、缺词填空

根据短文内容及首字母提示，补全空格内单词，使短文完整、通顺。请在答题纸上写出完整单词。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the 【1】p  _________  where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

If you【2】 f _________ that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the 【3】w _________   that other people do, so it is important to learn to live 【4】h  _________   with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on【5】 b _________ with each other. Knowing others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.

Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance 【6】t  _________  us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, 【7】s  _________   it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or【8】 w _________  you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance because it will make 【9】e _________ life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and 【10】i _________ . The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.
