The building the countrys largest commercial and shopping complex uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an airconditioning plant didnt have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fortyeight brick chimneys.During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings days as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters，” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25， with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh far more so than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.1Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?AIt was designed in a smaller size.BNo air conditioners were fixed in.CIts heating system was less advanced.DIt used rather different building materials.2What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?AFresh air from outside. BHeat in the building.CHollow space. DBaseboard vent.3Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?ANew York has icss clear skies as Harare.BIts dampness affects the circulation of air.CNew York covers a larger area than Harare.DIts temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.4The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system_.Aallows a wide range of temperaturesBfunctions well for most of the yearCcan recycle up to 30% of the airDworks better in hot seasonsB(2015厦门市适应性考试)We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like this：the more consumers spend, the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist, went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesnt it?Fear not. You arent actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings. Not consumption. In fact, economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example, somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way：when you lend out your savings, you are actually saying, “Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why dont you？”Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of peoples savings and then lend out lots of funds.It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings, it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination (协调) between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say, to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive, in a strict sense. It doesnt increase the net (净的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct, say, factory equipment.None of this means consumption and spending are “bad”things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.5What is the authors attitude towards Keynes theory?AApproving. BReserved.CUncertain. DCritical.6The underlined word “revenue”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”Acost BreputationCinterest Dincome7The author holds the view that _.Agovernments shall cut out banks as financial middlemanBeconomic activity is equal to economic growthCconsumer lending is the engine of economic growthDconsumption is likely to lead to increased happiness8According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?答 案.1.选B句意：对大自然的奇迹与伟大感到惊讶，我们像天真的孩子一样地又跳又叫。amazing“令人惊讶的”； amazed“感到惊讶的”；to be amazed用在句首时，多表示目的；having been amazed所表示的动作多发生在主句谓语动作之前，且强调其所造成的影响，故排除C、D两项；再结合句意可知B项正确。2选C句意：这个小山村是那么美的适合度假的一个地方，以至于游客们决不想带着失望离开。根据句子结构可知空格处的成分是伴随状语。feel与主语visitors之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词；disappointed“(人)感到失望的”；disappointing“令人失望的”。3选D句意：“玛丽昨天晚上开车撞在了树上，但她没有事。”“她很幸运。她本可能会受重伤的。”根据句意可知“她受伤”应该是客观情况，故用表示对过去客观情况推测的情态动词。could have done意为“本可能会”，而实际上没有发生；should have done表示某人主观上应该做了某事而实际上没有。4选D句意：“苏珊究竟为什么哭？”“她被指责在考试中作弊。”空格处在答句中作主语，A、C两项不能作主语，若选B项则应在前面加that；此处为动名词作主语。5选D句意：随着“PM 2.5”这个词不断地在媒体上出现，人们更加关注它并寻求针对雾霾天气的健康建议了。constantly“不断地，持续地”，符合句意。optionally“有选择地，随意地”；deliberately“故意地”；approximately“大约”。6选A句意：已经有几个赛事被加进2016年的里约热内卢奥运会了。add to“添加”，add与events之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。7选B句意：“先生，这是我们的护照和票。”“让我看看。没问题，给你们的护照。行李是你们自己打包的吗？”根据语境可知，“打包行李”是发生在过去的事情，因此用过去时，且语境不表示过去的过去，故选B。8选A句意：在十二五计划中写道：一种系统将被开发来保护人们的网上秘密。根据时态一致原则，应首先排除B、C两项；a system是被开发，故选A。9选B句意：“来杯茶怎么样？”“好的，来一杯。”根据句意可知应选B项。10选B问句句意：我要在中国待三周。关于我应该看些什么你有什么建议吗？as to“关于，至于”，符合句意。or else“否则”；up to“直到；达到”；so as to“为了”。11选D句意：当违反交通规则时，彼得总是试图逃避罚款，这令我们无法理解。escape常接动名词作宾语，Peter是被罚款，故选D。12选D句意：在上海待了几天后，约翰对上海的印象是上海很迷人。空格后的句子是对impression的解释说明，是同位语从句且连接词不充当成分，故用that。13选C句意：杰克是一个大空谈家。该到他做点事情而不只是空谈的时候了。Its (high/about) time that .“该到了的时候了”，其中that从句中谓语动词用一般过去时或“shoulddo”形式，表示虚拟。14选B句意：不仅这些交换生的个人技能得到了加强，而且他们也有了在海外生活中学到的社会技能。在not only . but also .结构中，not only置于句首时，该分句用部分倒装，后一分句不用倒装；结合句意可知用现在完成时；又因为前一分句的主语是复数，故用助动词have；第二空but also可以省略but或also。15选C句意：最近人们在使用自然能源发电方面取得了很大进展。第一空后的power是特指自然能源，因此用定冠词；第二空后的electricity是泛指电，故不用冠词。.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种不用装空调的新型建筑。这种建筑能耗较低，比传统建筑造价低廉；该建筑适用于日夜温差大、海拔高、云较少的地区，能保持室温在23到25，并保持空气清新。1选B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“which has no airconditioning and almost no heating”以及最后一句中的“because an airconditioning plant didnt have to be imported”可知，由于不安装传统建筑所使用的空调，因而东门大厦比较便宜。故B项正确。2选A指代判断题。根据第三段第二句“Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium.”以及下文“rises and warms”可推知，it指代“从外面吹进来的新鲜空气”。故A项正确。3选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句中的“little dampness and rapid temperature swings days as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night”以及最后一句中的“You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters”可知，由于纽约的气温随季节改变而不是每天变化，故这种建筑在纽约不适用。故D项正确。4选B推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25.”以及最后一句“And the air is fresh far more so than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.”可知，这种建筑能使室温保持在23到25，并能保持空气清新。这些数据表明这种建筑在一年中的大部分时间运行良好。故B项正确。语篇解读：这是一篇议论文，主要讨论的话题是：到底储蓄更能促进经济的发展，还是消费更能促进经济的增长。作者认为，消费也许可以使人更快乐，但是储蓄才能促进经济的增长。5选D作者态度题。根据文章第一段最后一句话、第二段开头两句话和最后一段的最后三句话可知，作者对Keynes的观点持批评的态度。故D项正确。6选D词义猜测题。由第二段倒数第二句话可知，某人拿着钱走进商店买东西，当然商店的收入增加了。故画线词应该是“收入”的意思。因此选D。7选D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps.”可知，作者认为花钱可能会使人更快乐。因此选D。8选B推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段第二句话可知，只有储蓄才可能使经济增长，即储蓄和经济增长是成正比的。只有B项的图表与原文内容一致。
