德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练（16） 及答案或解析 A few years ago，Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs, ”Gerner says.‎ Gerner manages school facilities (设施) for Clark County, Nevada，a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2019,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes (样品) ；they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.‎ Green schools are appearing 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 challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向) ，” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm 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，” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work. ”But he wouldn’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.‎ ‎【出处：2019皖南八校第二次联考】 ‎ 体裁：记叙文 ‎ 话题：创造性思维是我们每个人都应该有的，但是一切应该从实际出发，不切实际的想法也就如同空中楼阁。本文所涉及的主人公Gerner想创办一所绿色学校的想法遭到了很多人的质疑，他的设计要求连他自己也开始怀疑。‎ 阅读策略：抓住中心人物，按照线索弄清来龙去脉，理解整篇文章 入选理由：文章采用话题独特，设计的题目值得学生推敲 ‎1．How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?‎ A.
