梦幻视觉“水立方”
  国家体育场——“鸟巢”以它充满阳刚之气的独特外形吸引了世人的目光,而与它并肩而立的国家游
泳中心,则以一种柔美风格,与“鸟巢”共同在北京城的北部构成了一幅和谐的画面。与“鸟巢”一样,国家游泳中心也有一个别具一格的名字:水立方。
(一)阳光下晶莹的水滴
  “水立方”设计精妙,晶莹通透,具有梦幻般的独特的视觉效果。它是一个177米乘177米,高31米
的方型建筑。看起来形状很随意的建筑立面遵循严格的几何规则,立面的不同形状有11种。内层和外层都安装有充气的枕头,梦幻般的蓝色来自外面那个气枕的第一层薄膜,因为弯曲的表面反射阳光,使整个建筑的表面看起来像是阳光下晶莹的水滴。而如果置身于“水立方”内部,感觉则会更奇妙,你会看到,那些气枕像海洋里的一个个水泡。
(二)奇妙自洁不沾尘土
  “水立方”从材料到结构完全是一个创新的建筑,蕴涵着极高的科技含量。外围采用新型的环保节能ETFE(聚四氟乙烯)膜材料,覆盖面积达到10万平方米,是目前世界上最大的ETFE应用工程。ETFE项目经理詹姆斯先生说:“它是一个双层ETFE系统,外面一层里面一层,从这个角度来讲,它是第一个,是世
界独一无二的。”这种ETFE膜材料的质量只有同等大小玻璃的1%,韧性好,又能吸收更多的阳光,并且
不会自燃。另外,它们还有奇妙的自洁功能,不沾附尘土,风一吹,土就走了。
(三)覆盖计划大量节水
  拥有三个巨大游泳池的水立方,每小时蒸发掉的水就要超过一吨。有没有可能避免这种浪费呢?“水
立方”的建设者们在设计之初就有过周全的考虑。他们考虑在游泳池不用的晚上用塑料布或其他材料将整个池水覆盖。覆盖计划包括了整个“水立方”的比赛池、戏水大厅等,这样就可以节约大量的水。除此之外,“水立方”的另一个环保功能是收集和循环利用雨水,这是充分体现“水立方”科技、绿色设计理念的一个技术亮点。落到水立方房顶上的雨水会汇集到建筑物下面的一个中心储蓄池中,这些被收集来的雨水将被循环利用。
                              (选自《竞报》2006.12,有删改)
1.如果说“鸟巢”因其________雄伟壮观,表现出一种________阳刚之美的建筑风格,那么“水立方”则因其展现出一种的建筑风格。
2.本文(一)中画线的句子运用了打比方的说明方法,请简要分析其作用。
_____________________________________________________
3.下面句中加粗的词能否删去?为什么?
  外围采用新型的环保节能ETFE(聚四氟乙烯)膜材料,覆盖面积达到10万平方米,是目前世界上最大的ETFE应用工程。
_____________________________________________________
4.“水立方”的设计贯穿了绿色环保的理念,在本文(三)中,这一理念具体体现在哪两个方面?
_____________________________________________________
5.有人担心“水立方”的外层薄膜容易堆积灰尘,影响美观,请你根据选文内容对此作出回答。
_____________________________________________________
答案

1.梦幻晶莹 柔美

2.通过打比方,形象生动地说明“水立方”的晶莹美丽。

3.不能去掉。“目前”从时间上进行限制,说明了“水立方”的“ETFE应用工程”只是当前世界上最大的工程。

4.①池水覆盖可减少水蒸发(或“池水覆盖可节约大量的水”)。

  ②可收集和循环利用雨水。

5.“水立方”的外围采用新型的环保节能ETFE(聚四氟乙烯)膜材料,有奇妙的自洁功能(或“它们不沾附尘土,风一吹,土就走了”)。

(意对即可)

Andy was a little country boy. He lived in the house on the side of a hill. There was a railroad track below the house and Andy often watched the train as it passed by.

One day, as Andy was crossing the track, he saw that there was something wrong with it. One of the rails seemed to be out of its place. Just then he heard a noise. Dear, dear! The train was coming! It would soon be there! He must try to stop it in some way.

Andy did not think of any danger to himself, but he ran and stood in the middle of the track, not far from the place where the rail was broken, and then he held out his arms and waited.
