华图教育每日一练——2月2日

A　few　years　ago，Paul　Gerner　began　to　gather　a　group　of　architects　in　Las　Vegas　to　ask　then　what　it　would　take　to　design　a　public　school　that　used　50　percent　less　energy，cost　much　less　to　build　and　obviously　improved　student　learning，“I　think　half　of　them　fell　of　their　chairs，”Gerner　says.
    Gerner　manages　school　facilities（设施）for　Clark　County，Nevada，a　district　roughly　the　size　of　Massachusetts.By　2018，143，000　additional　students　will　enter　the　already　crowded　public-education　system.Gerner　needs　73　new　schools　to　house　them.Four　architecture　teams　have　nearly　finished　desingning　primary　school　prototypes（样品）；they　plan　to　construct　their　schools　starting　in　2009.The　district　will　then　assess　how　well　the　schools　perform，and　three　winners　will　copy　those　designs　in　50　to　70　new　buildings.
    Green　schools　are　appearing　all　over，but　in　Clark　County，which　stands　out　for　its　vastness,　such　aggressive　targets　are　difficult　because　design　requirements　like　more　natural　light　for　students　go　against　the　realities　of　a　desert　climate.“One　of　the　biggest　chalenges　is　getting　the　right　site　orientation(朝向),”Mark　McGinty,　a　director　at　SH　Architecture,　says.　His　firm　recently　completed　a　high　school　in　Las　Vegas.　“You　have　the　same　building,　same　set　of　windows,but　if　its　orientation　is　incorrect　and　it　faces　the　sun,　it　will　be　really　expensive　to　cool.”
    Surprisingly,　the　man　responsible　for　one　of　the　most　progressive　green-design　competitions　has　doubts　about　ideas　of　eco-friendly　buildings.　“I　don’t　believe　in　the　new　green　religion,”Gerner　says.　“Some　of　the　building　technologies　that　you　get　are　impractical.　I’m　interested　in　those　that　work.”But　he　wouldn’t　mind　if　some　green　features　inspire　students.　He　says　he　hopes　to　set　up　green　energy　systems　that　allow　them　to　learn　about　the　process　of　harvesting　wind　and　solar　power.“You　never　know　what’s　going　to　start　the　interest　of　child　to　study　math　and　science,”he　says.
    1.How　did　the　architects　react　to　Gerner’S　design　requirements?
    A.They　lost　balance　in　excitement.
    B.They　showed　strong　disbelief.
    C.They　expressed　little　interest.
    D.They　burst　into　cheers.
    2.Which　order　of　steps　is　folowed　in　carrying　out　the　project?
    A.Assessment—Prototype—Design—Construction.
    B.Assessment—Design—Prototype—Construction.
    C.Design—As　 sessment—Prototype—Construction.
    D.Design—Prototype—Assessment—Construction.
    3.What　makes　it　difficult　to　build　green　schools　in　Clark　County?
    A.The　large　size.      B.Limited　facilities.  

    C.The　desert　climate.     D.Poor　natural　resources.
    4.What　does　Gerner　think　of　the　ideas　of　green　schools?
      A.They　are　questionable     B.They　are　out　of　date   

      C.They　are　advanced       D.They　are　practical.

【答案及解析】

【答案】B．
【解析】推理判断题。根据第1段I think half of them fell off their chairs可知建筑师们对Gerner的要求感到不可思议，不可相信。应选择B。A“他们激动得失去了平衡”，C“他们几乎不感兴趣”，D“他们突然大哭”都不符合本意。
2.【答案】D．
【解析】文章结构理解。根据第2段的描述，工程的实施应按照“设计—提供样品—评估—建设”的程序。其它程序都不符合标准的建筑要求。
3.【答案】C．
【解析】细节理解题。根据第3段…such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate可知建筑绿色校园的难题是沙漠气候。而并非巨大的面积、有限的设施或贫瘠的自然资源。
4.【答案】A．
【解析】细节推理题。根据最后1段“I don’t believe in the new green religion,”“Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical…”可知Gerner对上面提到的计划感到怀疑，应选择A。
