My younger brother would be leaving for college and I was leaving for a new job in Europe. We only had a few precious months left as a family living under the same ________. Everything would change in the ________.

A family of magpies (喜鵲) ________ in our maple tree. This family seemed to be extraordinarily lively. One early morning, the noise was so ________ that my dad went out to see what the birds were doing. He found a young magpie ________ around the yard, flapping(拍打) his little wings and yelling.

Dad looked up in the tree to find Mommy and Daddy Magpie sitting on a branch and glaring ________ at him. He had to do something for the poor little thing. Dad called the zoo for ________.

Driving home from work, I ________ it wasn't only about the magpie but also about his own little fledglings (幼鳥) who were ________ the nest. It was about my brother and me. Dad felt as helpless as the Mommy and Daddy bird watching in the tree. He couldn't make us fly nor could he ________ cats once we left the nest.

I got home and found him looking out of the kitchen window with ________ in his eyes. I ________ him by saying Morey might have learnt to fly with very good parents raising him.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation.

Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. "It's a structure(構(gòu)造) that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn't get heated up by the sun. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.”

He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. "In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential (潛在的) benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.”

The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(噴涂) that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.

1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. living on hot days is no longer a big problem now

B. a new material is created to cool the buildings

C. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofs

D. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers

2.How does the panel work?

A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.

B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.

C. It sends heat away right into space.

D. It has a window to let out the heat.

3.The new material is especially useful in areas that ________.

A. suffer high temperature

B. have poor air conditioning

C. have plenty of food

D. are short of power

4.What can you infer from the passage?

A. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.

B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.

C. People may have problems in using the new material.

D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影響) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.

B. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

C. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

D. Some of them are not attractive.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?

A. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

B. We should reproduce the same old buildings.

C. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

3.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “______”.

A. destroy old buildings

B. put things in a different place

C. choose new architectural style

D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why people dislike change.

B. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
