26、A 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 their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities (设施) for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. 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 prototypes (样品); they plan to construct their schools starting 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 targets are difficult because design 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 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. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
【1】How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?
A.They lost balance in excitement. B.They showed strong disbelief.
C.They expressed little interest. D.They burst into cheers.
【2】Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A.Assessment — Prototype — Design — Construction.
B.Assessment — Design — Prototype — Construction.
C.Design — Assessment — Prototype — Construction.
D.Design — Prototype — Assessment — Construction.
【3】What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?
A.The large size. B.Limited facilities.
C.The desert climate. D.Poor natural resources.
【4】What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?
A.They are questionable. B.They are out of date.
C.They are advanced. D.They are practical.
27、I can’t remember when my dog finally stopped crying in fear at its top voice. For months after we took her home from a nearby rescue organization, Millie cried all the time. If you only walked past her, a sound would erupt that could freeze your blood.
When we adopted Millie in August of 2019 she was mentally hurt to a serious degree. Obviously, she was afraid of everything around her. A gentle touch from a little kid or the friendly smell of a small dog could make this full-grown dog frightened to death. The lights of a car would send her into great fear. Many sights and sounds terrified Millie so much that once she even couldn’t go to sleep in 36 hours.
But recently we’ve come to realize that we might have turned Millie into a naughty(淘气的) kid. Early on, trying to make her believe that the world contains good things, my husband started saving her the last mouth of his bread. This dog who had to be tricked (哄骗)into eating now knows exactly when the clock strikes five and then she follows me around and reaches his paws to me until I feed her. This dog who feared all strangers now greets guests with a kind of enthusiasm that not all guests actually welcome.
People who haven’t seen her for a while all say that, “This is not the same dog I met last time.” But she is the same dog. She has just become a happier, braver dog. Even now, Millie is not yet the dog she is in the process of becoming. But the warmth of the world has turned her into a better self.

D.Millie has become the best dog as expected.
【4】How does the writer develop the passage?

29、To whom it may concern,
My husband Jim and I got married in 1965. For the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then about four years ago, our youngest child went to school, and I thought I might go back to work.
Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He started to do all the things I used to do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation firm. At first, my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”
But, as his joking words were becoming reality, Jim stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is unhappy.
We fought about little things, and Jim is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love Jim very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior(较差的), but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.
Yours,
Mary

30、The “Doorman”
On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his appearance, he greeted us in a friendly way.
Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he ________ ” . After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look ________ the appearance. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ________ him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I resolved to set a good ________ for my children. Yet sometimes when things didn't go right, being a good example was ________. When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car - sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I excused myself from the meal and went to get them.
Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his presence. Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I ________
When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside ________ he purchased food. I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and a sandwich. The kids looked ________ as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman” they smiled. When it was time to continue our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then ________ his hand for a hand shake and I grate fully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of ________ . What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the “doorman” hug! He pulled away, with tears streaming down his face.
Back in the truck, I fell into deep thought. While we can ' choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude. I said thanks to a man who had simply held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that opportunity to teach my children by example.
