二、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）
A
Nature has inspired many of the most fascination designs around us,including tho in architecture.From Barcelona's forest-like Sagrada Familia to the modern style of Beijing's Water Cube,nature is prented in various architectural designs.Today,architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms,to mimic（模仿） the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building.
ArtScience Muum,Singapore
ArtScience Muum was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits.Shaped to remble a lotus flower,it appears to float above the waterfront promenade and the water that surrounds it.Its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space.The water is then recycled through the building's plumbing system.Visitors are often amazed t
o find themlves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.
The Eastgate Centre,Harare
Harare's Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry（生物仿生）.To u biomimicry is to create structures bad on natural forms and process.Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary in which termites（白蚁）were constructing their nests.The incts built mounds covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds.In a similar way,the Eastgate Centre has a "skin" covered in holes.During the day,warm air is drawn into the building through the holes,cooling as it reaches the middle of the building.At night,the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air,creating a comfortable temperature inside.The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and heating systems,so the building us less energy and costs less to run.
The Algae （藻类） Hou,Hamburg
The world's first algae-powered building is in Hamburg,Germany.The surface of the apart
ment building is covered in panels that contain algae.The algae are fed with liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to grow.In bright sunshine,they grow faster and proved shade.The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building.And that's not all—the algae inside the panels can be harvested and ud to produce fuel.The building therefore not only responds to its environment and us less energy,but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy.attend的意思
