Although people usually know what the word means it often has no exact translation. It’s not surprising rea lly, because the idea of home varies from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and family living that go on inside, which are important as well. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.But it’s not just that homes look different in different countries, they also contain different things and reveal different attitudesand needs. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room o r kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are smallwindows, cool stone floors and often no carpets. We asked some people about their homes.How often do people move house in your country?“In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time.They often move every ten years or so.”— Cheryl, Boston, USA What are typical features of homes in your country?“In Britain, even in town there’s always a garden and sometimes a cellar（地下室）. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often havebalconies .The weather isn’t warm enough!”— Pat, Exeter, England56. The word “home” has no exact translation because ______.A. people c an’t find this word in the dictionaryB. no one knows what it isC. it has different meanings in different countriesD. people can’t understand each other very well57. You can ______ at home according to the passage.A. cook, talk, and play gamesB. eat, play, and teach studentsC. swim, eat, and make friendsD. do nothing58. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?A. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.B. Because there’s a fire in the living r oom.C. Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.D. Because the sun there shines a lot.59. How often do people move home in the United States?A. Every year.B. Every five years or less.C. Every ten years or so.D. They don’t move until th ey die.60. Which one is true according to the passage?A. People in Britain seldom have balconies because it’s so hot outside.B. “Home” is a place where you feel safe and relaxed.C. Although homes look different in different countries, they have the same needs.D. Houses in northern Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors.BThe sun is our greatest source of energy. We have started to use this energy onlyrecently, though.The sun can heat houses. Solar heat can keep a house warm even when it is cold outside. Large windows, sun-rooms, and solar greenhouses all collect the sun's heat. Solar collectors can be placed on a roof, a wall, or anywhere the sun shines. Collectors can be made to store extraheat for times when there is no sun.The sun heats water, too. Pipe systems are put on roofs and the sun heats the water pipes. House roofs should slant (倾斜) towards the south.In a house that is built especially for solar heat, most of the rooms face south. The southern wall has double sheets of glass. The sheets are divided by a half-inch of space. This space reduces the amount of heat that escapes. The sun can still enter, though.Solar energy can be used for cooking, too. Dr Maria Telkes invented a simple stove that looks like a tightly insulated (绝缘的) box. The stove slants towards the sun. Four flat mirrors fan out from it. These mirrors reflect sunlight into the inside of the stove, which is filled with a heat-absorbent salt. Its temperature can be regulated by moving the mirrors. Because it stores up heat, the stove can be used after sunset.Solar energy is expected to become cheaper and more common in the future. Then it will be able to compete with oil and gas as a major source of energy.61. The best title of this passage would be “ ________ ”.A. Cooking with Solar EnergyB. Comparing Different Types of EnergyC. Several Major Sources of EnergyD. Solar Energy, Today and Tomorrow62. Solar houses can be identified by their ________ .A. costB. constructionC. sizeD. simple stove63.

By using a heat-absorbent salt.B. With the mirrors above the stove.C. By the insulated box.D. Through a pipe system.65. Who would NOT welcome the growth of solar energy?A. Farmers.B. Houseowners.C. Oil companies.D. Construction companies.CCan you understand the beginning of this essay（短文）?“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages（短信）. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers andbad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.66. What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?A. The writer does not give his opinions.B. It is not bad for children.C. It will make children bad writers.D. It is fun and easy to do.67. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?A. Using letters to represent words.B. Using phrases to represent essays.C. Using letters to represent phrases.D. Using numbers to represent words.68. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student's essay?A. My Smmr HolsB. CU in LAC. My GFD. My Gr8 Tchr69. Why do some people think that texting is bad?A. It costs too much.B. It's too difficult to type.C. Teenagers won't learn to write correctly.D. It's not comfortable.70. Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?A. Not many people use texting.B. Spelling in English is too difficult.C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
