Now the main trading(贸易) partners are nearby New Zealand and Australia and countries in East Asia. But on Sunday when Samoans are in church, cities such as Sydney and Brisbane are already into Monday and the new working week. And while Samoans are still doing business on Friday, Australians and New Zealanders have already begun their weekend.    In order to do same-day business better with its trading partners, Samoa decides to change its time zone from the western time zone twelve (西12区) to the eastern time zone twelve on December 29, 2011.

There were only five questions on it. Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no ‎ hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then?” Certainly someone has finished one. But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will  all pass this course, your education has just begun.” The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught. 11..

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 control 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 for hot air to flow out of the chimney.  16. What is the best title(标题)of the passage? A. Green house of the future      B. The greener, the better  C. How to build greenhouses     D. Changes of the houses 17. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home ____.  A. with the root of a leaf   B. with the energy from sunlight C. with the soil under the ground  D. with gardens on its walls 18. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?  A. It will take in light.       B. It will produce energy.   C. It will turn dark.          D. It will turn white.  19. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future ____.  A. will be more delicious        B. need more cooks  C. cost as much as possible      D. will be greener 20. A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause ____.  A. pollution     B. accident     C. noise     D. techniques ‎ 一． 完形填空 （每小题1分，共20分）‎ ‎ Mr and Mrs Moore were invited to a Christmas party at a hotel one year.
