Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

A Roof over Our Heads

Man has three basic needs: food, clothing and shelter. If a man lives in a warm climate, clothing is not absolutely necessary. However, man cannot live without food, and he has little chance of survival without shelter. Man needs shelter to protect himself from the weather, wild animals, insects, and enemies.

History of shelters

Long before man learned how to build houses, he looked for natural shelters, as the animals did. He found that he could protect himself by climbing up into trees or by hiding in caves. The first shelters or homes actually built by man were very simple. For his building materials, he used whatever he could find easily around him: rocks, tree branches, dried grasses, and animal skins. It was a long time, however, before man began to build permanent (永久的) shelters because, until man learned to farm, he lived by hunting (狩猎). And, in order to follow game (猎物), he had to be able to move from one hunting ground to another. Thus, the first man-made shelters were those that could be easily transported.

The first permanent shelters were probably built twenty or forty thousand years ago by fish-eating people who lived in the places as long as the fish supply lasted. Fish-eaters could stay in one place for several years. However, once man learned to farm, he could live longer in such a place. Thus, he was able to build a permanent home. Once again, he built his home with the materials he found at hand. In Egypt, for example, wood was scarce, so most houses were built of dried mud, with a roof supported by tree trunks.

When the Norsemen came from Scandinavia to northern Europe,

they found many forests, so they built homes with a framework of heavy tree trunks and then filled the space between the trunks with mud. The Eskimos, on the other hand, lived in a land where there was little or no wood. They learned to adapt their homes perfectly to their surroundings. In the wintertime, when everything was covered with snow and ice, the Eskimos built their homes with blocks of ice. When the warm weather came and the ice turned to water, the Eskimos lived in a tent made of animal skins.

Weather and houses

The weather is man's worst natural enemy. He has to protect himself from extremes of heat and cold and from storms, wind and rain. Where the weather is hot and dry, the windows are small and high up, so that the heat stays outside. There is often a flat roof, where people can find a cool place to sleep. In hot, wet areas, on the other hand, people need to be protected from the rain, as well as the heat. In such places, houses are built with wide roofs that hang over the side of their homes.

Where there is a lot of rainfall, houses are built with steep (陡峭的) roofs to drain off the rain. People living in the Congo River region have found that steep roofs flow off large rains more quickly. Other people in Africa have found that rain flows quickly off a roof of broad leaves.

Building houses

In Borneo, houses are built on high posts to protect people from dampness. And there are tribes in Malaysia that build their homes in the branches of trees, and people climb up to their houses on bamboo ladders. In northern countries, people build houses to protect themselves from cold and snow. Their houses are built of strong materials, and the roofs are steep, so that the snow will fall off. And, in northern Siberia, where snowfall is extremely heavy, the roofs even have a funnel-shaped (漏斗型的) platform to protect the chimneys from drifting snow.

Protection from danger has also influenced the type of house man builds. When enemies threatened him, man made his house in places that are difficult to reach. People in the Philippines protect themselves by living high above the ground. When danger threatens, they remove the ladders leading to their homes. People who lived on the cliffs of the American Southwest built their homes

high up on the sides of cliffs, where access was very difficult.

Nomad tribes (游牧部落) must move from place to place, taking care of flocks of sheep that are always in need of fresh grass. Their houses must be simple and easy to transport. The nomads of central Asia have developed a round house with a hole at the top to let the smoke out.

In Europe there are very few wooden houses being built today. This is partly because wood is no longer as plentiful as it once was, and partly because wooden houses burn quite easily. On the other hand, there are many wooden houses in America. This is because the first settlers wanted to build houses quickly and cheaply. Since the country was covered in many places with forests, some trees had to be cut down to make houses.

Houses in many cities used to be made of wood. However, since the houses were very close together, fire could easily spread from one house to another. There were records of large fires in some cities, such as the great fire of London in 1666. When the

burned-out cities were rebuilt, wood was still used for the roofs, but stones were used for walls.

There are so many people living in some cities where it is often very difficult to find a place to live, and if one does find a place it is often too small. And many of the houses are too old and uncomfortable. Just as in man's earliest days, finding a good place to live continues to be one of his biggest concerns.

Part 7 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.

I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes.

We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity.

1.Which people are having trouble with language?

A. Natives.

B. People of the 2nd generation.

C. People when born.

D. Immigrants.
