Building a house costs quite a lot of money.Suppose you plan to build a house.Your first step will be to find a right piece of land.Your choice will depend on many different things.You will probably try to find a sunny place， with pleasant surroundings（环境） near shops and bus stops， not too far from your friends and the place where you work.

When the builder gives his estimate， you may wish to change your plan.（You may also wish to change your builder， if his estimate is too high!）You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much， or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan.The builder's estimate depends on the plan， but the final plan depends on the builder's estimate.

Housing is the living places for human beings. As the population keeps climbing， People in the city have to face the reality that housing is in short supply. To solve this problem， New York city planners are challenging tradition and starting to design more “micro units.”

Micros， also known as “hostel-style” apartments， usually offer less than 200 square feet （18.5 square meters） in area. Could you imagine living in 150 square feet （14 square meters）？ These units usually have only room for a bed， a table mini-fridge and the basic living essentials.

Why is the micro apartment so appealing？ The reasons are rather straightforward. It is perfect for single people who don't have a lot of things. It can also meet the need of people who are short on cash but determined to live in their own places.

Micro apartments are very common in cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong， where there are so many people living. Now this tiny housing solution is gaining ground in urban areas in the U.S.， and Canada.

The micro apartment is an experiment in simplicity in American culture. So small-scale home life is part of a hot trend in U.S. real estate. Some people are proud of it. Some of them can find the humor and fun in their small places. But not everyone is in favor of the trend.

When Dr. Robert Metcalf first used a solar cooker， the future changed for millions of Africans. He knew that billions of poor people around the world depend on the use of wood for cooking. As they take more and more firewood from wild areas. They are destroying habitats around the world. Wood collection is one reason why many animals have become endangered.

“But sunshine can be an alternative to fire.” Dr. Metcalf says. Since his first solar cooked meal， he has helped people around the world to use simple new technologies to cook their food.

Each morning in villages across East Africa， small children and their mothers wake up and walk several miles to collect firewood to cook their food. It takes much of the day， and the heavy firewood they carry home on their heads lasts only a few days.

This is why Dr. Metcalf spends each summer in Africa. He teaches women and children in villages how to cook with the sun. So far， more than thirty thousand African families now have solar cookers， and new programs will introduce solar cookers to millions of families.

To find water， women and children may have to walk long distance to dig holes in dry riverbeds or to gather water from streams and shallow wells.

They fill their buckets（桶）and carry them home on their heads. The buckets often weigh as

much as forty pounds. Not only is finding water hard work， but the water is often polluted with

germs（细菌）that make people sick.

Dr. Metcalf and others developed a simple，reusable tool that people can use to make sure their water is safe to drink.The tool is calked a WAPI，which stands for “Water Pasteurization Indicator”. The pasteurization process is named after Louis Pasteur，who developed it in the 1800s.

1.Why did Metcalf help Africans use solar cookers？ （1）

A.He wanted to help them to fight poverty.

B.He found it a dangerous job to collect firewood.

C.He realized using firewood is not good for the environment.

2.The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph probably refers to" （2） ".

A.collecting firewood B.cooking food

C.cooking with the sun

3.Each summer Metcalf stays in Africa to （3） .

A. do research on water

B. take care of sick people

C. spread the technique of using solar cookers

4.Water Pasteurization Indicator was developed to （4） .

A. kill the bacteria in water

B. honor Louis Pasteur

C. make waste water reusable

5.It can be inferred from tile passage that （5） .

A.Africans find it hard to learn to use solar cookers

B.women and children in Africa usually lead a hard life

C.the water Africans drink is not clean though it is easy to get

17. 二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确为“T”，错误为“F”。

Millions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However， there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers， or ovens， have been used for centuries.

Solar ovens consist of a system of reflectors and a cooking pot. The rest is up to your imagination! Once you have collected or bought your solar oven， you can use it to prepare hot meals in the backyard， at a campground or wherever your heart desires.

Of all the inventions that could benefit humankind， a reliable solar cooker remains one of the most necessary. Countless people across the developing world still cook their food by burning wood or even cow dung， causing breathing problems and severe pollution in some regions.

The searching for a practical solar cooker has gone on for decades and produced dozens of models. But none of them have caught on importantly for use in the developing world because they can’t store heat. Without the ability to store heat， a cooker cannot be used， for example， on cloudy days.

But now a group based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology （NTNU） is reporting a discovery in solar cookers. They say it will lead to the production of practical solar cookers within a year and a half and it can store enough heat during a sunny day to work for an entire additional day， even if it is cloudy.

High-speed rail is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic， using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide， new lines in excess of 250 km/hr and existing lines in excess of 200 km/hr are widely considered to be high-speed， with some extending the definition to include much lower speeds （e.g. 160 km/hr） in areas for which these speeds still represent significant improvements. The first such system began operations in Japan in 1964 and was widely known as the bullet train. High-speed trains normally operate on standard gauge tracks of continuously welded rail on grade-separated right-of-way that incorporates a large turning radius in its design.

Many countries have developed high-speed rail to connect major cities， including Austria ， Belgium， China， France， Germany， Italy， Japan， Poland， Portugal， Russia， South Korea， Sweden， Taiwan， turkey， United Kingdom， United States and Uzbekistan. Only in Europe does HSR cross international borders. China has 16，000 km of HSR， accounting for 60 percent of the world’s total. While high-speed rail is usually designed for passenger travel， some high-speed systems also offer freight service.

The world’s longest high-speed railway route， running from Beijing to Guangzhou， has been in operation for a few years. It cuts travel time between the two cities from 22 hours to only 8 hours. With comfortable seats and quiet cabins， this high-speed line offers a pleasant journey for thousands of travelers.

The high speed railway connects Beijing with five provincial capitals. Part of the line， from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou， was in operation before the whole line was connected. The opening of the Beijing to Zhengzhou section has connected the entire line. It covers a total length of 2，298 kilometers.

The Beijing-Guangzhou line connects one third of China’s population and more than 40 percent of its economic power. Travelers benefit from the efficient network， and find that their hometowns are not that far away.

As the American publication Newsweek puts it: China is now engaged in a “railway revolution”. These 350 kilometer per hour high-speed railway trains have made the country’s vast territory “substantially smaller”， and changed the country economically.

In recent years， the Chinese auto industry has seen rapid growth， with the demand on private cars rising sharply in Chinese cities since 2002.

By 2009， China has replaced the U.S. to become the world’s largest auto market. As an important part of the world car industry， the global auto industry will shift further to China. This brings historical opportunity to China’s auto market.

Currently， both the development of China’s auto market and the changes in consumer demand for vehicles are ever-increasing. China’s auto industry will continue to grow in the next decade. It means there is still huge room for its development. China has an urban population of more than 600 million. It also has a huge agricultural vehicle market in the rural areas. Hence， there is no doubt for China’s development of auto industry. That is also the reason why the world’s auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market.

The demand on private cars increased greatly in Chinese cities since 2002. （1）

2. China has become the world’s largest auto market. （2）

3. China’s auto industry tends to decrease in the next decade. （3）

4. China has an urban population of less than 600 million. （4）

5. The reason why the world’s auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market is that China’s auto industry developed very quickly. （5）

Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he had a car.

Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.

There are three main reasons why the car becomes so popular in the United States. First of all， the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.

The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.

The third reason is the most important one， though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus， or a train or even a plane. They don' t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car， one that does not use so much gas.

We can learn from this passage that Americans （1） .

A.spend a lot of money traveling by car

B.travel a lot in their cars

C.seldom travel by plane

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE？ （2）

A.In the United States even the poor own cars.

B.In the United States all the poor have no cars.

C.An American will feel poor unless he has a car.

3. In the writer’s opinion， cars are popular in the United States mainly because （3） .

A.Americans like to plan their own time

B.The United States does not have enough public transportation

C.Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars

4. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that （4） .

A.everyone in the United States owns a car

B.the United States produces most of the cars in the world

C.cars play an important part in American’life

5. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is （5） .

A. to make less cars

B. to develop a public transportation system

C. to make gas-saving cars

18. 二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers. Most of the crashes result from distracted driving—not paying attention to the road.

Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree. He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008. Nearly four thousand deaths， about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty.

Ryan's father， Thomas Didone， is a police captain in Marylan. "It was an inexperienced， immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids. He was distracted， he wasgoing too fast， and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured." He shares the story of his son's death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving.

Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving. "If you're texting while driving， you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't."

Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem. For example， the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers. At first， nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large， inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children. He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road. Then， as part of the test， he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll. "That's what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive."

Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving —and not just because they lack experience on the roads. "According to the research， teens don't really have fully developed brains until they’re twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much，much higher risk." A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system. Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers. They could not get a full driver's license until age eighteen.

According to the passage， （1） is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving.

A.texting on the mobile phone

B.reaching for a cell phone.

C.talking on the mobile phone

2. We can learn from the second paragraph that （2） .

A. drivers who resulted in nearly 4，000 deaths are teenagers

B. over 30，000 victims have died from traffic crashes so far

C. it was at night that Ryan Didone died from a car accident

3. A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to （3） .

A.attract more teenagers to take part in it

B.draw enough attention to teenagers' distracted driving

C.make more teenagers practice avoiding large barriers

4. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about （4） .

A.much higher risk

B.teen brain development

C.measures to be taken

5. Of all the following， which is the best title for the passage？ （5）

A.Car Crashes —the Top Killer.

B.Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!

C.Drunken Driving — Dangerous Enough！

A 4 year Kid， who does not know what an Email or a Chat App is， prays to God: “Hey， Lord， Please make me a smartphone”. This young kid is asking such a wish from God， because he sees that his parents at home are completely glued to this magical device called smartphone and has no time to look up at him. The smartphone is getting more attention in the house than the child. His parents are present there physically， but their minds are somewhere else.

It’s so true that this device has become an inseparable part of our day to day life， and we are addicted to it. We will start feeling restless if we do not look to our phone after a few minutes. We react faster to a phone beep or a message compared to a call by a family member from a different room. We all need to come out of this head-down syndrome. We all need to connect and communicate in real world. We need to put this technology to good use and not become a slave.

So what shall we do？ It’s simple: the solution is called “digital break”. This means， when you return home from work， you simply turn off or mute all your digital devices for a few hours every day， or at least once in a while. What do you do then？ You can share your time with the family， chatting with your wife or husband， playing games with your kids， doing things with other family members， etc. in real life. You will soon realize the world outside the smartphone is much more enjoyable
