9、rely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether its the recorded message or the guards message, few people listen to it, because its often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone wa
10、s smiling! Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and youll be pleased to know that we are right on time.

12、nother about the guards excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel.

13、your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.” I said.

25、, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable(可持续的), self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called just a big, wet desert. They always put social experiments in the easiest places, Lugari said.We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it anywhere. Lugari just th
26、ought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planets least desirable areas, wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World. Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind an
27、d solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most
28、remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas
29、 enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees. The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development.

34、e importance of protecting the environment.D The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating methods as the termite mound (白蚁堆). Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing th
35、e Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building is the countrys largest commercial and shopping complex（综合楼）but 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 air
36、conditioning didnt have to be equipped. The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans take fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through vents (通风口)
37、. 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
38、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, and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings-days as warm as 31 C commonly drop
39、 to 14C 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 C and 25 C, w
40、ith 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 far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 32. Why was Eastgate chea
41、per 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.33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A.Fresh air from outside.B.Heat i
42、n the building.C.A hollow space.D.A baseboard vent.34. Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficiently in New York? A.New York has less clear skies as Harare. B.Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C.New York covers a larger area than Harare.D.Its temperature changes seasonally rather
43、 than daily.35. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system . A.allows a wide range of temperaturesB.functions well for most of the yearC.can recycle up to 30% of the airD.works better in hot seasons第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Tips for protecting your eyes during the winter
