1、老方法造“新”空调如今，人们的工作、学习和生活都离不开空调。空调给人们带来众多好处的同时，也对环境造成了巨大的破坏。 而随着社会的发展，新型环保空调逐渐成为了未来的趋势。阅读短文并回答问题As the climate crisis makes the world hotter, people are looking to stay cool. By 2050, there could be three times as many air conditioning units on the planet as there were in 2018. In India, for example,
2、the International Energy Agency believes air conditioning could account for 45% of peak electricity demand by 2050 unless things change. The vast majority of Indias electricity supply still comes from coal. Combine dirty energy with hydrofluorocarbons, the greenhouse gases used in air conditioning u
3、nits, and you have a solution thats compounding the problem in the long term.Luckily, a New Delhi architect and designer, Monish Siripurapu, founder of Ant Studio, is looking at the issue of cooling. India is no stranger to passive cooling systems: the famous stepwells of Rajasthan have used water e
4、vaporation （蒸发）to offer relief from the heat for over 1500 years. But for his solution, Siripurapu turned to the Ancient Egyptians. Named the CoolAnt, Siripurapu system comprises a honeycomb-like network of terracotta （赤陶）tubes. Water is circulated by an electric pump over the surface of the structu
5、re. Water evaporates from the terracotta surface when air passes through the tubes, cooling the air.Ant Studios first model in a factory in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, is topped up with 200 liters of water every week, recycled by the factory, and used 3 to 4 hours a day, six days a week. We are trying to
6、re-adapt this in many places for different needs J says Siripurapu.There is growing interest in a return to vernacular architecture （乡土建筑）,using localized methods and materials, and bioclimatic architecture, designed to take account of the local climate without using additional energy to cool or hea
7、t buildings.Civilization cannot continue building the same way that we are doing J Siripurapu says. “As architects, we are used to looking at a single client.we dont really look at the bigger picture,“ he adds, But now we can be very sustainable and make something really good.1. What does the underl
8、ined word probably mean in paragraph 1?A. Fixing.B. Worsening. C. Lessening. D. Testing.2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The introduction to the stepwells in India.B. The description of Siripurapu cooling system.C. Ancient Egyptians9 ways of cooling the air.D. The reasons for Siripura
9、pu founding Ant Studio.3. What is special about the CoolAnt compared with air conditioning?A. It wont produce greenhouse gases.B. It doesnt need any electricity to work.C. It can work for a long time with little water.D. It can be used in various places to heat buildings.4. What does Siripurapu conv
10、ey in the last paragraph?A. Designers should consider the local climate when designing buildings.B. Architects are used to working for a single client rather than big companies.C. Modern people cant create a civilization as brilliantly as the ancient people.D. People realize its time to make things
11、that are both environmentally friendly and practical.【参考答案】BBAD目单词学习1. account for （数量、比例上）占Computers account for 5% of the country s commercial electricity consumption.电脑占了这个国家商业用电的5%o2. peak electricity demand 电力需求峰值3. the greenhouses gases 温室气体4. compound u.使加重；使恶化The problems were compounded by
12、severe food shortages. 严重的食物短缺使问题进一步恶化。5. passive cooling system 非能动式冷却系统6. water evaporation 水分蒸发7. comprise v.包括；由组成The collection comprises 327 paintings. 这部画册收有 327 幅画。8. honeycomb-like network 蜂窝状的网状物9. circulate v.（液体或气体）环流，循环The disease prevents the blood from circulating freely.这种病阻碍了血液的循环畅通
13、。10. electric pump 电动泵11. top up加满;充值12. localize也使局部化13. bioclimatic architecture 生物气候建筑14. take account of 考虑到We need to define a new strategy which must take account of changing market conditions.我们需要制定一个新政策，该政策必须考虑到变化着的市场环境。15. sustainable adj.可持续的节长难句分析There is growing interest in a return to v
14、ernacular architecture, using localized methods and materials, and bioclimatic architecture, designed to take account of the local climate without using additional energy to cool or heat buildings.分析】 句子主干为“There is interest in a return to vernacular architecture and bioclimatic architecture。using l
15、ocalized methods and materials”和designed to take account of.cool or heat buildings”作后置定语，分另U修饰vernacular architecture和bioclimatic architecture。【翻译】越来越多的人对乡土建筑和生物气候建筑产生了兴趣。乡土建筑回归到使用本土的方法和材料；生物气候 建筑在设计时已将当地的气候因素考虑在内，它不需要使用额外的能源来降低或增加建筑物的室内温度。芍知识拓展1 . Ant Studio团队利用计算技术重新诠释了传统的蒸发冷却技术，以此来建造具有定制尺寸和形态的圆柱形
16、粘土锥 的原型。这项设计灵感来自于蜂巢，仿造蜂巢的结构，用上百个环保的赤陶土管制作而成。首先，拿水浸泡这些 土管，让其吸饱水。随后蒸发冷却会将暖空气挤出管内，这样冷气就能自然产生了。该系统采用维护成本低廉, 可持续利用且廉价的替代品多孔赤土作为热交换介质，利用水的冷却性能，将热空气转换成宜人的微风。2 .国际能源机构（International Energy Agency）：亦称“国际能源署”，为经济合作与发展组织的辅助机构之一。它 于1974年11月成立，其总部设在法国巴黎。它的宗旨是:协调各成员国的能源政策，减少对进口石油的依赖， 在石油供应短缺时建立分摊石油消费制度，促进石油生产国与石油
17、消费国之间的对话与合作。自成立以来，国际 能源机构在石油市场、节能、新能源的开发利用等方面一直采取共同对策。3 .氢氟碳化物(hydrofluorocarbons)： 一种有助于避免破坏臭氧层的物质。氢氟碳化物虽然不含有破坏地球臭氧层的 氯或澳原子，但它是一种极强的温室气体，其对气候变暖的作用远比等量的二氧化碳要强，有的氢氟碳化物的致 暖效应要比二氧化碳高几千倍。4 .印度阶梯井：古代印度文明的一个标志性建筑物，它具有蓄水、纳凉等多种用途。阶梯井的设计目的是在蓄水的 同时，可以让民众比较容易地接近水源。通常阶梯井底部会有闸门，用以提升水位，在需要用水的季节将水位升 至3到4层的位置。它的阶梯式结构是古印度人最高明的发明，展现了古印度石匠的高超技术。
