I learned personal adjustment and the use of a puter with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.”可知，“一個(gè)特殊的課程” 給作者帶來了一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。故選A。（4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.”可知，作者告訴我們“面對(duì)生活中的困難，要樂觀?！惫蔬xD。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let39。s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand? Can we start with ending the opendoor practice of streetfront shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process. So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energysaving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, airconditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed. In homes built under the smallhouse policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(協(xié)調(diào)統(tǒng)一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction. 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? A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.（2）Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans? A.To follow an old practice.B.To help reduce energy use.C.To pletely replace air conditioners.D.To help cut down on daily expenses.（3）What39。s the key to making sustainable buildings a reality? A.All parties should get started at the same time.B.The basic architecture should be finished first.C.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D.Seeking the smallhouse policy and some successful architects.（4）What would be the best title for the text? A.Waste less, live betterB.Goodbye, air conditioningC.How to reduce the energy costD.Green buildings call for integrated design【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文屬于議論文。作者認(rèn)為街邊商店開放空調(diào)的做法雖然給人以涼爽的空氣，但卻浪費(fèi)了大量的能源。所以他鼓勵(lì)節(jié)能的集成設(shè)計(jì)，即在住宅建成前統(tǒng)一設(shè)計(jì)，安裝吊扇，減少空調(diào)的負(fù)荷及照明用電等能源。（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Can we start with ending the opendoor practice of streetfront 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。可知是持不贊成的態(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
