24、Fresh green grass, hundreds of colorful wild flowers, water running into little pools, birds making their homes in boxes, the 9,500-square-meter Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs (屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. Green roofs take in rain water and protect the city drainage (排水) system. They can reduce water runoff into streets and storm water systems. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

Also, _______. Small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it. Though they won’t directly replace ground environments, they’re perfect for attracting birds and other wildlife to create a eco-friendly habitat (栖息地).

A green roof helps to improve the overall air quality, too. According to a study, green roofs help reduce (减少) up to:

37% of sulfur dioxide

21% of nitrous acid

0.2kg of dust particles / square meter each year

While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?

【1】With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.

A．how wildlife is protected

B．what a green roof is like

C．how to organize a good park

D．what to do with a spare roof

【2】The word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．raise

B．check

C．record

D．control

【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?

A．a green roof is alive

B．a green roof protects animals

C．a green roof is perfect

D．a green roof helps the environment

25、One day, my wife and I went shopping. We took the car as we had a lot of things to buy because my brother and his family were going to spend the weekend with us.

We could not open the car door. “Oh, dear,” said my wife. “What are we going to do?” “Let’s ask that policeman,” I said. The policeman was very kind and glad to help us. Soon he got the door open.

27、As teenagers， you have a lot of dreams. These dreams can be very big， such as winning the Nobel Prize， or they can be small， you may just want to become one of the top ten students in your class.

Once you find a dream， what do you do with it? Do you ever try your best to make your dream real? Making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.

You may think you’re not very good at some subjects， or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts prevent you from being successful.

In fact， everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember the dream in your mind. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of small ones. Please never give them up.

You may have difficulties on the way to your dreams. But the biggest comes from you yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results， while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream， it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
