25、mes & In the Shadow of No TowersBA few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them 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 off
26、 their chairs ,” Gerner says. Gerner manages school facilities (设施)for Clark County, Nevada. 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 designing primary school p
27、rototypes (样品); they plan to construct their schools 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
28、targets are difficult because deign requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate.” One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school
29、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.
30、 “I dont believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. Im interested in that work.” But he wouldnt mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the proc
31、ess of harvesting wind and solar power.” You never know whats going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.59How did the architects react to Gerners design requirements?A. They burst into cheers.B. They expressed little interest.C. They showed strong disbelief.D. They l

34、be a depressing month. The summer holidays are over, its time to go back to work or school and Christmas is four months away. However, for some people its the perfect time to get away.These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons. Holidays in autumn
35、can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isnt as extreme as it is in the summer. So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.Sardinia (in Italy) has an average temperature of 27 in September. It also has “Autunno in Barbagia” (Autumn in Barbagia) a series of festiv
36、als that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous region of inland Sardinia. The festivals continue from September to December, so theres always something happening. There are street markets, craft workshops and theres lots of eating and drinking (This is Italy, after all).Dubrovnik Croa
37、tia has become very popular in summer but its quieter and more pleasant once the crowds have left. The weather is still warm but less humid. You can take a ferry to the popular beaches on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.Dahab Egypt, is extremely hot in the summer with temperatures up to
38、 38. However, the autumn is cooler while the sea is still warm. This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing. There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations, and St Catherines Monastery, at the foot of Mount Si
39、nai.Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey. There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped (so you can actually enjoy doing them!) Kas is a good place to stay if you want to walk part of the Lycian way: a long-distance footpath that stretches for 50
40、0km from Fethiye to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia. There are also watersports, of course. The best time to go diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn (usually between late September and early October) when the fish become most active.Marrakech Morocco is another good des
41、tination. The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few days. When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away. Theres a hammam (a Turkish bath) and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.Wherever you go this autumn have fu
42、n!63. Here are the good reasons for people to take holidays in autumn except that _. A. Holidays in autumn can be cheaper B. the scenery in autumn is more attractive C. the resorts in autumn are less crowded D. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold64.

43、isitors can take part in a series of festivals in October in Barbagia B. Barbagia in Egypt is surrounded by mountains C. the festivals continue from September to November D. the temperature in Sardinia in September is always below 2765. For someone who enjoys walking, _ is the best choice. A. Kas B.
44、 Marrakech C. Dahab D. Dubrovnik66. Which of the following places may not be close to sea? A. Dubrovnik B. Dahab C. Kas D. MarrakechCFamous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. Those who stand still, die, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases. He knows from expe
45、rience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away, he said. When asked abo
46、ut his age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others. Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, open
47、ness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generati
48、on. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of ar
49、chitecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man w
50、ho could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He also plans to keep performing. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come a
51、nd pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through imper
52、fection. In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. Shes convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. 67. From the first two p
53、aragraphs, we can see _. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mothers help C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior68. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? A.
54、 4B. 5 C. 6D. 769. By saying Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in Paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he _. A. wants to sit or lie in comfortB. is waiting for people to pick him up C. is willing to work till he diesD. prefers to give performance at home70. In the passage
55、 so many examples were given to show _. A. old age is a big problem if you want to succeed B. as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimistic C. old people should never think of themselves as old D. old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot71.

Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got mar
57、ried. They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money. Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband: “Joe, , Ive found a
58、 pupil, a generals daughter. She is a sweet girl.

No, I want to earn some money too.” “Joe, , you are silly,” said Delia. “You m
59、ust keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week.” “Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe. Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired. “Clementina sometimes gets o
60、n my nerves. Im afraid she doesnt practice enough. But the general is the est old man! I wish you could know him, Joe.” And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket. “Ive sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another.” “Im so glad,” said Delia. “Thirty-t
61、hree dollars! We never had so much to spend before. Well have a good supper tonight.” Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage. “Whats the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said: “Oh, a funny thin
62、g happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?” “What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?” “Five oclock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready
63、about five, Why?” “Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her. “What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth.” She began to cry. “I couldnt get any pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afte
64、rnoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasnt giving music lessons?” “Its very simple,” said Joe. “I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot
65、 iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work.” “And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?” “Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria.” And then they both laughed. 72.
