Society for Economic Botany.CThe 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 principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆). Architect
19、 Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning 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
20、 $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didnt 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 unde
21、r 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 forty-eight brick chimneys. During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors.
22、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 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little da
23、mpness 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.

And the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air
25、 is recycled. 28. 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.

26、air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent. 30. 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 temperatur
27、e changes seasonally rather than daily.31.

32、e White and Keith Floyd. “I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.
