However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building bees a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.71What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap? AThe climate of their areas.BThe energy for their houses.CThe fashions for their houses.DThe building materials for their houses.72People in some areas gain a source of heat by _. Akeeping their livestock downstairsBprotecting their livestock from the coldCsharing their houses only with their cows Dliving on the second floor with their livestock73The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _. Aheat raises the temperature in the houses Bheat goes in the upward directionCheat goes up if temperature is raised Dheat increases the temperature of rocks74From the passage, we can conclude that _. Apeople will no longer consider building materials in the futureBenergy-saving buildings will bee more popular in the futureCalmost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksDenergy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyBWhen Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及）long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算）.In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given 2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a pletely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern puter.75The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _. Ain one operation with few mistakes Bin more than one operation without any mistakesCin more than one operation with slight mistakes Din one operation without any mistakes76Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _. Ahe was in poor healthBhe almost ran out of moneyChis co-workers argued with himDhe spent all his money on his bills77Babbage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _. Athey would agree to his planBthey would pay for his new ideaCthey would support him with moneyDthey would exhibit his new design78From the passage, we can infer that _. ABabbage failed to be a famous scientist at CambridgeBBabbage always had new ideas but gave them up easilyCBabbage always needed support from the government officialsDBabbage was the first designer of the modern puterC Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16,1775, and died on July 18, 1817She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously ( 匿名 ).
