25、 C.superficial D.long-termed(2)In recent years, we have seen great progress in houses building. The type of houses found in a certain part of the world depends to a certain extent on the building materials available there. Countries where stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place

26、 where there is plenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses built to a greater extent.In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two main factors are responsible for the type of houses built: the heat of the sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses

27、are light and airy but have steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because they may be in lowlying areas which get flooded easily.In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate hea

28、t while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very small and narrow. It is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing.

29、 Sometimes,a water tank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs,of the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs were flat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the weight.

30、 The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.Some countries are more likely to be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses are made of light building materials. If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurt and less damage is caused.In some part

31、s of the world, people take their homes along with them as they travel. These people are called nomads. The Bedouins of Arab lands wander over the desert, setting up tents wherever they stop to rest.26.Houses in equatorial countries _.A.are light and airy B.have steep roofs C.are always built on sti

32、lts D.are built to shelter from the harsh elements27.Houses in Arabia _.A.have thin walls painted white B.are box-shapedC.have many windows D.always have water tanks on the roof28.In cold countries roofs slope steeply _.A.so that people can build caves under itB.so that the roofs wont become so heav

34、.people will not be affected by the earthquake30.Nomads are people who _.A.live in tents B.travel over the desertC.wander from place to place D.set up tents over the desert(3)The art of growing dwarf trees, or “bonsai“ as their Japanese creators call them, is increasing in popularity in the Untied S

35、tates. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them; elaborate equipment is not required to grow these lovely and tiny trees, but time, patience, and a sense of natural beauty are.There are four important guidelines to follow in gr

36、owing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing conditions are unusual. Varieties of pine with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable.Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the

37、container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the trees trunk and leaves, not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is trim the roots and branches of the tree periodica

38、lly. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions and will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is to have trees which are just like normal trees in everything but size.The last thing one most do is to be careful to keep the miniature trees well-watered. Because bons

39、ai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.As one can see from the above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. Imagine a sta

40、tely pine tree, 100 years old, standing two feet high; imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is actually what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol

41、of the beauties of the natural world.31.Bonsai are _.A.extremely popular in the United StatesB.trees which have been made to grow in miniature formC.a kind of natural art form originating in the U.S.D.very beautiful but not very long-lasting32.Compared to other houseplants, bonsai often require _ th

43、nt of time and effort“ (last paragraph)?A.More time and effort than ordinary houseplants do.B.A definite and exact amount of time and effort.C.More time and effort than most people can expend.D.A constantly changing amount of time and effort.35.Which of the following would be the most appropriate ti
