Part A 模仿朗读 The wind has had some of its most dramatic effects on human history when it interacts with the energy of the oceans. It's an interaction that can have major long term consequences. But it can also bring short term disaster. The sea acts as a main store of the sun’s heat. There's more energy in the top 3 meters of the ocean than the whole of the atmosphere. By pumping this energy into the air, the ocean is constantly influencing the wind. A principle that is demonstrated each year: the hotter the ocean, the faster the air above rises.

This time I had a three-day tour and Inoticed something different. I like it better now. W: Really? What is the difference? M: I’ve seen a lot of fantastic office buildings and some of them are of eco-design. 1. 那是什么意思?--What does that mean? 电脑回答 It means that the designs combines environmentally friendly ideas. I visited one building with eco-designs. They helped cut energy cost greatly. Last year, that building saved up to 20% energy cost, compared to other ordinary buildings. Thanks to the various wonderful design. 2. 让你印象最深刻的设计是什么?--What design impressed you most? 电脑回答 Well, I think what impresses me most is the high-tech curtain wall. For one thing, it is used to adjust temperature automatically in the building. The indoor temperature will not be affected by conditions outside. For another, it enables 90% of the office area to enjoy natural sunlight, which makes people feel like closer to nature. 3. 这栋大楼里还有其他新设计吗?--Are there anyother new designs in this building? 电脑回答 Yes, of course. For example, there is only one elevator in the building. Many staff have to walk to their offices. At first some of them complained, but gradually they realized walking is pretty good exercise to keep them fit. Another example is that the parking spaces are reserved mostly for small cars, so the use of small cars is encouraged. 1. When did Tom visit Beijing?--He visited Beijing in August. 2. How long was Tom’s trip?--Three days. 3. What is used to adjust temperature in the building?--The high-tech curtain wall. 4. How much of the office area can enjoy natural sunlight?--90%. 5.
