【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 。 For integrated design to succeed, all parties must e together and think beyond each person39。s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outes may include reduced airconditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used. We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings. （1）What39。s the author39。s attitude towards the opendoor practice of the street shops?

While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning ，作者認(rèn)為雖然這些商店的涼爽空氣給行人提神，但opendoor practice卻帶來了成本，在空調(diào)降低溫度過程中消耗了能量?？芍浅植毁澇傻膽B(tài)度的。故答案選B項(xiàng)。（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段if we fix ceiling fans, airconditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. 如果我們按裝吊扇，空調(diào)住宅一年中大部分時(shí)間可不用空調(diào)。吊扇使用的能量要少得多。由此可知建議安吊扇是因?yàn)槟軠p少能源的使用。故答案選B項(xiàng)。（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第5 段為了使集成設(shè)計(jì)成功，各方必須團(tuán)結(jié)起。找出更好的解決方案。這種恰當(dāng)?shù)恼_的設(shè)計(jì)結(jié)果，可以減少空調(diào)負(fù)荷，減少電力照明用電，減少使用材料的數(shù)量。（Positive project outes may include reduced airconditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used. ）故答案C符合題意。故答案選C項(xiàng)。（4）主旨大意題。作者認(rèn)為商店開放空調(diào)導(dǎo)致能源的浪費(fèi)，所以倡導(dǎo)在住宅區(qū)安裝吊扇的節(jié)能環(huán)保的做法。這就需要要建筑房屋前統(tǒng)一的綜合的集成設(shè)計(jì)，才能有一個(gè)可持續(xù)的節(jié)約的環(huán)保綠色的建筑。因此本文最好的標(biāo)題是綠色建筑呼喚集成設(shè)計(jì)。故D項(xiàng)符合題意。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】主旨大意閱讀理解題解題技巧：抓住文章段落大意，概括中心思想尋找整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在尋找具體段落中心的基礎(chǔ)上的。各段落中心句的整體歸納便是文章的中心思想。在這個(gè)過程中，考生們不能只依據(jù)只言片語、一枝一節(jié)，或光看文章的某一些段落，而應(yīng)該觀察全文的結(jié)構(gòu)安排；理解文章濃墨重筆寫的“重心”；考慮文章的組織材料及支撐性細(xì)節(jié)是服務(wù)于什么的；分析故事的發(fā)展結(jié)局都是圍繞什么內(nèi)容來表達(dá)中心的；最后用簡(jiǎn)明扼要的文字將文章的中心思想表達(dá)出來。5．閱讀理解 It39。s 3 o39。clock and you39。ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn39。t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Scientists at the website How Stuff Works pare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷爾蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival. A craving is more plex. It activates (使活躍) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drugcraving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure. In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings. So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach. （1）What is the function of the first paragraph?
