2．Several years ago，Ken Keegan organized a gathering in Las Vegas，with a group of architects involved，who were asked what it would take to design a public school which used 50 percent less energy，cost much less to build and obviously improved students learning. "I think half of them fell off their chairs，" Keegan says.
Keegan is in charge of the management school facilities for Clark County，Nevada，a district roughly the size of Massachusetts.By 2028，143，000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system.Keegan needs 73 new schools to house them.Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes.With the intention of constructing their schools in 2019，the district will assess how well the schools perform before allowing the winners to conduct their designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools keep emerging 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 obstacles is getting the right site orientation，" Mark.Mc，a director at SH Architecture，says.His team 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，" Keegan says，"Some of the building technologies that you put forward are impractical.I'm only interested in those that work." But he doesn'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）What can be inferred from the architects' reaction in Paragraph 1？
A．Half of them lost balance in excitement.
B．Disbelief was obviously seen.
C．Most of them expressed little interest.
D．They burst into cheers.
（2）Which order of steps should be followed in carrying out the project？
A．Assessment-Construction-Design.
B．Assessment-Design-Construction.
C．Design-Construction-Assessment.
D．Design-Assessment-Construction.
（3）What is the biggest challenge Clark County faces if they are to build green schools？
A．The large size.
B．Limited facilities.
C．The desert climate.
D．Poor natural resources.
（4）In Keegan's opinion，the ideas of green schools are.
A．questionable
B．out of date
C．a(chǎn)dvanced
D．practical組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．I often find peacefulness in a soaring stone church，a cool open place to sit and contemplate.The giant trunk-like pillars（柱子） and the gentle play of the light cast through a church's stained glass windows create a shaded garden of stone and multicolored light.
Glass itself is one of the fruits of the art of fire.It is a fusion（熔接）of the Earth's rocks melted at high temperatures.Glass's liquid-like structure is one of the main reasons it is transparent（透明的）.However，"transparent" does not necessarily mean that all light can pass through it.Some obsidian（黑曜石） glasses are so darkly colored that they are effectively black and opaque（不透光的）.This is because electrons of some elements in the obsidian are arranged in such a way that their energy is the same as the energy of visible light.
This ability of certain elements to absorb light and give color is used to great effect in stained glass windows.For example，adding cobalt oxide（氧化鈷） to the glass during melting will make it blue because cobalt absorbs wavelengths at the red end of the spectrum（光譜）but does not absorb blue.These colors were discovered by the ancients through trial and error，adding different minerals to the melting pot and melting for different periods of time，even though they had no idea what caused them.
The term "stained glass" telescopes（精簡） three different processes：coloring，staining and painting，each one complex and requiring the application of many skills.In the mid-16th century，however，different colored enamels （琺瑯） began to be used.It has been said that the appearance of enameling was the death of the great stained glass window artists.I am not sure if this is true，but I do know that standing in front of a great stained glass window is a magical experience.Next time you are in a soaring cathedral，take a moment to admire the windows.
（1）Why does the author write this passage？
A．To show the actual way to make stained glass.
B．To express his appreciation of stained glass.
C．To talk about the function of stained glass.
D．To review the history of stained glass.
（2）What does "their energy" underlined in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The energy of high temperatures.
B．The energy of obsidian glasses.
C．The energy of some electrons.
D．The energy of all elements.
（3）How is stained glass made？
A．By melting some of the Earth's rocks with sun energy.
B．By painting some colors on rocks before melting them.
C．By absorbing fire and sunlight to make varied colors.
D．By adding some minerals to glass when it is melted.
（4）What can we know from the last paragraph？
A．Stained glass was invented in the mid-16th century.
B．Making enamels was more complex than making stained glass.
C．The number of stained glass artists may have declined since the 1550s.
D．The author admiringly welcomes the change caused by colored enamels.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

"Now， parents and students separate into two groups. You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour. "
Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement. I was less than thrilled about starting college， let alone leaving my mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen；I felt a little anxious.
We followed the senior tour guide. The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind. How could I have believed I was ready for this？ After all， it had only been a few months since I left the hospital. I was feeling better for the first time in years. But college…？
My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice， "Hi， I'm Jennifer. " "I'm Lauren，" I replied. "Where do you prefer to live？ At home or on campus？" she smiled. "I'm not sure，" I said. "You should live on campus！It will be a lot of fun！" she said. Before I could reply， the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.
We crowded into the Student Activity Center. Three seniors handed out thick course bulletins（課程公告）and forms that needed to be filled out. All around me， the sounds of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock. Others seemed to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn't even opened my course catalog（目錄）.
"Focus，" I told myself. "Just read through the catalog and find the courses you like and a schedule that works. "Psychology A or B， Geology 101， English， History， sections 1， 2， 3…The list went on and on.
I panicked and almost started to cry. How was I supposed to know how to complete it？I was just relearning how to live in the real world， and they wanted me to make a schedule. How I wished someone could help me.
Paragraph 1：
Soon， other freshmen were handing in their forms.______
Paragraph 2：
Then， I felt a warm hand on my shoulder._____組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5
