(D) Have you ever dreamed of living on the water? Perhaps wake up on a weekend morning and jump out of the window for a swim? While there are already houseboats,a new floating neighbourhood in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is proving that it is possible to realize this dream!

One-third of the land in the Netherlands lies below sea level and there is frequent flooding. De Blok imagined another way to live, that not only meets the need for more housing in cities but also allows homes to withstand(承受) rising sea levels(海平面). The green homes are designed to have a very small environmental footprint. They are powered by solar energy, and the houses are connected, so that extra energy from one home can be used by another. The extra energy is also stored in batteries. There are rooftop gardens for growing food, heat pumps to keep the houses warm, and rainwater is stored and used for flushing toilets. In the future, waste water from showers and toilets will be turned back into energy. The houses themselves follow the Dutch design principle(原 则 ) of“gezellig” or coziness which includes soft lighting and modern touches. Additionally, when adding heavy furniture such as pianos to a floating home, it must be balanced with bricks on the other side of the house. The homes are also filled with green materials such as straw, burlap, and bamboo. The cominunity has been attracting attention for its new and green design. For the nearly 800million people living along the coast and at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, this may be their hope for the future. 58. What is the article mainly about? A. Houseboats. B. A clean ship. C. Rooftop gardens. D. A floating neighbourhood. 59. What does the underlined word“brainchild” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A clever child. B. A large community. C. A creative idea. D. A TV programme. 60. What are the green homes designed for? A. To help lower the sea level. B. To store energy in batteries. C. To provide free homes for homeless people. D. To provide more houses in cities and allow them withstand rising sea levels. 61. Which of the following is NOT TRUE. according to the passage? A. The houses have soft lighting and modern touches. B. Heavy furniture should be made of bricks to keep balance. C. Straw, burlap. and bamboo can be found in the homes. D.
