Reading comprehension(阅读理解) (共20小题；选择题5小题，每小题1分；非选择题15小题，每小题2分，计35分) AIn 1999, a television company in Britain made a very popular programme called The 1900 House. They changed an ordinary house in a street in London so it was the same as a house from the year 1900. For example, it had no electricity, just gas for lights and the kitchen. The toilet was outside in the garden, and all the furniture was from 1900 or before. Then they found a family - the Bowlers - to live in the house for three months. Six people in the family lived in the house: Paul and Joyce Bowler, their daughters, Kathryn, Ruth and Hilary and their son, Joe. For three months, while they were living in the house, they had to wear Victorian clothes and live like people at that time. For example, they had to wash their hair with egg and lemon, not shampoo. They had to wash their clothes by hand because they didn't have a washing machine, and they had to use the toilet outside in the garden. But the family didn't have to go shopping because the TV company did all their shopping for them. There were cameras inside the house to film the family's everyday life,- and the Bowlers talked on television about their experiences. Here are some of the things that Hilary said later about her time in the house: "Some things were difficult - we had to find things to do in the evenings, because there was no television or computer, and we all had to work hard to clean the house and to cook our food. My sister and I had to share a bedroom and a bed, too! It was fun - and we didn't have to go to school every day, that was very nice. But I don't want to do it again. I think I'd like to live in the future, not the past!"46. The 1900 House was made _____.A. in the USA in 1900B. in the UK in 1999C. in Canada before 1900D. in Australia before 199947. How long did the family live there?A. For only one day.B. For about three days.C. For about l2 weeks.D. For about one year.48. What could they find and use in the house?A. lemons and eggs.B. some shampoo.C. A washing machine.D. A TV and a computer.49. Why were there cameras inside the house?A. To stop the thieves.B. To see the films.C. To help the neighbours.D. To record everything.50. What did Paul's daughter think of life in the house?A. It was interesting and easy to live in the past.B. It was fun, but it was hard to live in the past.C. It was nice, so she wants to try again.D. It was both terrible to live in the past and future.BRay Charles Robinson was born in 1930 in Georgia, USA, but he grew up in Florida. He lived with his mother, Aretha, and his younger brother.
