only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound (白蚁堆)Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building，which has no airconditioning and almost no heating.The buildingthe countrys largest commercial and shopping complexuses 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 equipment 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 flesh 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 changesdays as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night.“You couldnt do this in New York，with its hot summers and 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 freshfar more so than in airconditioned buildings，where up to 30% of the air is recycled.21Why 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.22What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?AHollow space.BBaseboard vent.CFresh air from outside.DHeat in the building.23Why would a building like Eastgate NOT work efficiently in New York?ANew York has less 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.24The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system Aworks better in hot seasonsBcan recycle up to 30% of the airCfunctions well for most of the yearDallows a wide range of temperatures【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，属于科普类短文阅读。文章讲的是新型的建筑Eastgate，它比传统的建筑省钱，因为不需要装空调，它是利用天井和风扇把外面新鲜空气吸到办公室里面，这样空气即新鲜又经济。21解析：选B。细节理解题。从第二段中的“The Eastgates owners saved $ 3.5 million on a $36 million building because an airconditioning equipment didnt have to be imported.”可知，Eastgate比传统的建筑便宜，因为它不需要装空调。故选B。22解析：选C。细节理解题。从第三段中的“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)”可知，风扇将新鲜空气通过通风口吸入，另外让它上升变暖，最后通过烟囱从天花板被吸走，可知这里的it指“新鲜空气”。故选C。23解析：选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“This is all possible only because Harare is 1，600 feet above sea level，has cloudless skies，little dampness and rapid temperature swingsdays 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，”得知，具有一定海拔高度，并且在白天的气温30度而夜晚气温14度的条件才能实现，而纽约的天气是季节变化而不是天气。故选D。24解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“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” 得知，建筑物内的温度保持在23到25度，除10月与11月的雨季之外。所以这个系统一年的大部分时间都能用。故选C。BSiberian tiger is the largest felid(猫科动物)in the world and is known as the king of the forest.In the 1980s，it was listed as one of the firstclass national protected animals of China.To preserve this valuable species，the Siberian Tiger Park was built in 1996 in Heilongjiang Province.The Park is located far away on the north bank of

cities.Brussels：ChocolateNearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe，and Belgium with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year certainly covers its fair share.While Brussels，the countrys capital，is home to hundreds of chocolate makers，what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.Budapest：Paprika(红辣椒)The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do.A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them，so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh.But by the early 20th century，sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.Lisbon：Tiles (瓷砖)Is there a bluer country than Portugal？The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land.The blue moods of Fado，the dark folk music，form the national soundtrack.And all across Portugal，the typically blue designs of azulejosceramic tiles are spread across churches，castles，palaces，university halls，parks.The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints，Portuguese kings，historical glories，aristocrats(贵族) at leisure，seascapes and so on.Madrid：GuitarsWalking into one of Madrids storied guitar makers workshops can feel like stepping into the past.Curly wood shavings，from the palest pine to ebony，fall onto the floor as artisans (工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art.Its painstaking work all done by hand with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.29What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?AThe popularity of Hungarian peppers.BThe difficulty of processing peppers.CThe unique tradition in Budapest.DThe hot level of Hungarian peppers.30Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?ABrussels.BBudapest.CLisbon. DMadrid.31Whats the similarity of the four items?ATheyre all treasures of a city.BThey all date back several centuries.CTheir production processes are all painstaking.DThey all win popularity in most European countries.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了欧洲四个城市独具特色的传统珍宝。29解析：选D。推理判断题。由Budapest：Paprika(红辣椒)部分中的内容可知，处理布达佩斯的红辣椒曾被认为对妈妈来说很危险，如果刚工作完回家的女人摸了自己的孩子，那就可能灼伤孩子，因而只有年长者和未婚者才被允许做分离红辣椒表皮与果肉的细活。由此可推知，此处强调了布达佩斯红辣椒辣的程度。30解析：选C。细节理解题。通读文章可知，只有Lisbon：Tiles(瓷砖)部分详细描述了Lisbon因为瓷砖而变得美轮美奂的城市，故C项符合题干要求。31解析：选A。推理判断题。本文分别介绍了布鲁塞尔的巧克力、布达佩斯的红辣椒、里斯本的瓷砖和马德里的吉他，每一样东西都是这个城市独特的珍宝，故A项正确。易错点拨：B项很容易被误选。其实关于布鲁塞尔的巧克力和里斯本的瓷砖的部分并没有提到有关历史的内容，关于布达佩斯的红辣椒部分只提到“by the early 20th century”，而有关马德里的吉他的内容中提到了“over the last century”，根据这些并不能推测出B项中所陈述的内容，故可排除。DIts high time someone spoke up for todays college students.Theyre probably the most hardworking，ambitious people in America and their problems are not properly appreciated.People like the Secretary of Education simply dont know what theyre talking about when they knock students.Nor do those who complain about falling academic standards.The vast majority of the nations 12 million students are struggling to pay for their educations.They are part of the invisible workforce.Many hold down fulltime jobs.Theyre frying hamburgers，photographing weddings，working in construction，and waiting on tables.The fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event.The financial situation of most students explains a lot about what is happening in schools.Why are the traditional courses so unpopular？Why are students flocking to accounting and computer science and any professional programs that seem to lead to careers?Answer：Todays working students have been forced into a kind of premature matteroffact way of viewing things.Romance is goneThe notion of transforming ones self through study alone has disappeared.Todays students seek freedom from manual labor，and the status conferred by a good job.There are other consequences.Todays students dont have much time or energy to be devoted，and carry out independent research or even do serious homework.Thats the secret behind falling academic standards.Students have become consumers.They want grades and certifications.Their professors cant be expected to give a grade of failure to students who are clearly tired from the effort to pay their bills.Theres a lot wrong with this situation.Its twisting the definition of education out of shape.Worse，its creating a generation that is totally unpleasant.The brightest students turn out to be yuppies(雅皮士)The vast majority are，at least，goodnatured semiliterates.The time has run out for philosophical debates about fixed courses of study.What this country needs is someone to stand up and say that being a fulltime student during ones formative years is an honorable calling worthy of support.If families cant or wont give it to their children，then the government should.32The authors purpose in writing this article is to Aawaken the whole society to the problems todays college students faceBwarn Americans that academic standards are fallingCadvise college students to study hardDprovide a suggestion that only fulltime students be enrolled33Which of the following CANNOT be learned from the passage?AMany students are often absent from classes.BTraditional courses are not popular.CStudents commit crimes with computers.DStudents dont devote much time and energy to their homework.34By saying “Romance is gone” in Paragraph 5，the author means Atodays students do not believe in love stories any moreBtodays students become more practical in dealing with thingsCstudents think there is no affection any more and break up with their loversDtodays students hold matteroffact opinions on love35The most suitable word to describe the authors feelings about todays college students is Asympathetic BcriticalCneutral Dfavorable【解题导语】文章谈论了现在美国的大学生遇到的种种难题，呼吁全社会一起来关注这些问题。32解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句Its high time someone spoke up for todays college students.和下文具体的描述可知，作者写这篇文章是想让人们知道美国大学生所遇到的种种困难，尤其是经济方面的困难，很多学生要靠做兼职来交自己的学费，以此来唤醒社会对这些问题的认识。故选A项。33解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句The fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event.可推断出很多学生都逃课；根据文章第四段第二句Why are the traditional courses so unpopular？可知，传统的课程不太受欢迎；根据文章第六段第二句Todays students dont have much time or energy to be devoted，and carry out independent research or even do serious homework.可知，学生没有很多时间和精力来做作业。只有C项未提及。34解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句中的Todays working students have been forced into a kind of premature matteroffact way of viewing things.可推知，浪漫不见了，是因为现在的学生已被迫过早地用实事求是的方式来看待事情。故选B项。35解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文章第一段及下文的描述可知，作者对现在的大学生充满了同情。故选A项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Fire drills (演习) are a big part of being safe in school.They prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire.36.
