　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共兩節)

　　第一節　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare，Zimbabwe’s capital city，is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound (白蟻堆)．

　　Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building，which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size.The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.

　　The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady，glass-roofed 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 (通風口)．As it rises and warms，it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.

　　During summer’s 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 changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night.“You couldn’t do this in New York，with its 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 air-conditioned buildings，where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

　　【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文，屬于科普類短文閱讀。文章講的是新型的建筑Eastgate，它比傳統的建筑省錢，因為不需要裝空調，它是利用天井和風扇把外面新鮮空氣吸到辦公室里面，這樣空氣即新鮮又經濟。

　　1．Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?

　　A．It was designed in a smaller size.

　　B．No air conditioners were fixed in.

　　C．Its heating system was less advanced.

　　D．It used rather different building materials.

　　解析：選B。細節理解題。從第二段中的“The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.”可知，Eastgate比傳統的建筑便宜，因為它不需要裝空調。故選B。

　　2．What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?

　　A．Hollow space. B．Baseboard vent.

　　C．Fresh air from outside. D．Heat in the building.

　　解析：選C。細節理解題。從第三段中的“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 (通風口)．”可知，新鮮空氣通過通風口，另外讓它上升變暖，最后被煙囪從天花板吸走，可知這里的it指“新鮮空氣”。故選C。

　　3．Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?

　　gkxx.comA．New York has less clear skies as Harare.

　　B．Its dampness affects the circulation of air.

　　高中學習網 www.gkxx.comC．New York covers a larger area than Harare.

　　D．Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.

　　解析：選D。細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的“This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level，has cloudless skies，little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night.‘You couldn’t do this in New York，with its hot summers and fantastically cold winters，’”得知，只有一定海拔高度，并且白天氣溫30度而夜晚氣溫14度的條件才能實現，而紐約的天氣是季節變化而不是需要的那種特殊天氣。故選D。

　　4．The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system

　　.

　　A．works better in hot seasons

　　B．can recycle up to 30% of the air

　　C．functions well for most of the year

　　D．allows a wide range of temperatures

　　解析：選C。細節理解題。根據最后一段中的“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，建筑物內的溫度保持在23到25度，除10月與11月的雨季之外。所以這個系統一年的大部分時間都能用。故選C。
