chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. after my eyes adjusted, i noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. on one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.i stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. after a brief panic attack, i noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. for reasons known only to an 11-year-old, i decided it would be better to go up than down. so, with shaking hands, i began climbing the wall.after what seemed like forever, i reached the top of the shaft. i stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. it was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. i climbed all the way up here for this? then i noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which id always wanted to shoot off. so this was the chance of a lifetime. i tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! it shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. i couldnt breathe. i was going to choke to death, and theyd probably never even find my body.luckily, i remembered the ladder to the roof. i climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky. i suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. so when the dust had settled, i climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. im not sure if i was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but i ran all the way back

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 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 $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 under 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. 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 dampness 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. the engineering firm of ove arup & partners monitors daily temperatures. it is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with 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 freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 8. 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. its heating system was less advanced.d. it used rather different building materials.9. what does “it” refer to in paragraph 3?a. fresh air from outside.b. heat in the building.c. hollow space.d. baseboard vent. 10. 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 than daily.11. the data in the last paragraph suggests eastgates temperature control system_.a. allows a wide range of temperatures b. functions well for most of the yearc. can recycle up to 30% of the aird. works better in hot seasonsdmen are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like gordon ramsay and jamie oliver, according to a report from oxford university. the effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.according to the research by prof. jonatahn gershuny, who runs the centre for time research at oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.prof. gershuny said, “the man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. there has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.some experts have named these men in aprons as “gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of ramsay, oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as hugh fearnley-whittingstall, marco pierre 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. he laughed,” said prof. gershuny. “that would never happen now.”two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. prof. gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “the family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eatas i did when i was a childat least two meals a day together as a family. but it has survived in a different format.” 12. what is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?a. the improvement of cooks status.b. the influence of popular female chefs.c. the change of females view on cooking.d. the development of sexual equality campaign.13. what does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?a. men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.b. women spend much less time on cooking than before.c. it will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.d. there is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.14. how did prof. gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?a. it has become a thing of the past.b. it is very different from what it used to be.c. it shouldnt be advocated in modern times.d. it is beneficial to the stability of the family.15. which is the best title for the passage?a. the changes of family mealsb. equality between men and womenc. cooking into a new trend for men d. cookinga thing of the past for women第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. people in the united states love their dogs and treat them well. 16 however, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. the expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 17 they say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. this means they have to work very, very hard. such hard work can make people dog-tired. and, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 18 this means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. to be successful, people often have to learn new skills. yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. they believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 19 people who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. mean dogs are often used to guard this property. they bark or attack people who try to enter the property. however, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. we say his bark is worse than his bite.dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. the dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. a rainstorm may cool the weather. but we do not want it to rain too hard. 20 a. still, people say every dog has its day.b. we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.c. some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.d. dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.e. there
