A collection of the year’s top Chinese phrases was released in Beijing on December20 by the National Monitor and Study Center (国家语言资源监测与研究中心).

The top phrases include Internet memes (表情包) such as “to slouch down like Ge You” (葛优躺) and “I am drained” (感觉身体被掏空). “A small target, a phrase starting from a piece of advice given to the young by Wang Jianlin, China’s richest businessman, also made the list. Wang said in August, “You should set a small target first, like earning 100 million yuan.” These words went viral on social media as many Internet users pointed out the impossibility of reaching the goal. “A small target” has since become a sarcastic (挖苦的) expression for a mission possible.

On April 14, 1865, Lincoln died after being shot at a theatre performance in Washington by an actor, who thought Lincoln was helping the North.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

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.

88. Will the houses of the future be as green as possible?

89. What can we use the energy to do for the tree house?

90. The cover of the lizard house can change the color according to the weather, can’t it?

91. Where can people plant tomatoes, carrots or green tea according to the passage?

92. What do you think of the example --- a chimney can be a useful air conditioner?

93. Which house would you like to live in? Why?
