第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2 分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A 、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In the 19th century, there used to be a model of how to be a good person. There are all these torrents of passion flowing through you. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, lust, greed, drug use and the other sins.

These days that model is out of fashion. You usually can change 'yo t ur behavior by simply resolving to do something. Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it. Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. It's more like a muscle, which tires easily. Moreover, you're a social being. If everybody around you is overeating, you ' ll probably do so, too.

The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will. Today, we know that free will is bounded. People can change their lives, but ordering change is not simple because many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.

Much of our behavior, for example, is guided by unconscious habits. Researchers at Duke University calculated that more than 40 percent of the actions we take are governed by habit, not actual decisions. Researchers have also come to understand the structure of habits—cue, routine, reward.

You can change your own personal habits. If you leave running shorts on the floor at night, that'll be a cue to go running in the morning. Don ' t try to ignore your afternoon snack craving. Every time you feel the

cue for a snack, insert another routine. Take a walk.

Their research thus implies a different character model, which is supposed to manipulate the neural networks inside.

To be an effective person, under this model, you are supposed to coolly examine your own unconscious habits, and the habits of those under your care. You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines. Every relationship becomes slightly manipulative, including your relationship with yourself. You're trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.

This is a bit disturbing, because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine, nor can they be reversed by clever cues. They are burned in by emotion and strengthened by strong yearnings, like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness.

If you think you can change your life in a clever way, the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener, you ' re probably wrong. As the Victorians understood, if you want to change your life, don look for a clever cue. Commit to some larger global belief.

56. Which of the following is the first-to-none element in the 19th-century character model?

A. Action.

B. Capacity.

C. Resolution.

D. Enthusiasm.

57. The research at Duke University indicated that ______

A. One ' s behavior is tough to change.

B. Habit has an uniden tified structure.

C. Habit plays a vital role in on e's behavior.

D. Both habit and will power are of sig ni fica nee.

58. According to the new character model, personal behavior could be altered through

A. tech niq ues to break old routi nes.

B. tech niq ues to provide differe nt physical cues.

C. cues to cha nge all the former uncon scious habits.

D. cues to man ipulate the habitual n eural resp on ses.

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe ' s capital city, is said to be the only one 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 whe n desig ning the Eastgate Buildi ng, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building —the country 'largest commercial and shopping complex —uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate ' s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn ' htave 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 ceil ing vents and fin ally exists through forty-eight brick chi mn eys.

During summer ' s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two cha nges of air an hour through the build ing, to circulate the air which has bee n in con tact with the cool floors. For wi nter days, there are small heaters in the ven ts.

This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings —days as warm as 31 C commonly drop to 14 C at night. “ You couldn ' t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,

The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the buildi ng has gen erally stayed betwee n 23 C and 25 C , with the excepti on 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 fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildi ngs, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

63. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built tha n a conven ti onal buildi ng?

A. It was desig ned in a smaller size.

B. No air con diti oners were fixed in.

C. Its heat ing system was less adva need.

D. It used rather differe nt buildi ng materials.

64. What does 虫” "refer to in Paragraph 3?

A. Fresh air from outside.

B. Heat in the buildi ng.

C. Hollow space.

D. Baseboard vent.

65. 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.
