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 2018, 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.

63. How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?

A. They lost balance in excitement. B. They showed strong disbelief.

C. They expressed little interest. D. They burst into cheers.

64. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?

A. Assessment ― Prototype ― Design ― Construction.

B. Assessment ― Design ― Prototype ― Construction.

C. Design ― Assessment ― Prototype ― Construction.

D. Design ― Prototype ― Assessment ― Construction.

65. What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?

A. The large size. B. Limited facilities.

C. The desert climate. D. Poor natural resources.

66. What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?

A. They are questionable. B. They are out of date.

C. They are advanced. D. They are practical.

SHANGHAI: The Transportation Information System for 2010 Shanghai World Expo has been completed and put into trial operation, officials said yesterday．

The system which consists of three sub-systems will provide seven options to receive transportation information, including websites, transportation guides, radio and TV broadcasting, hotlines, message signs, mobile phone and enquiry machines, to satisfy tourists’ requirements for transport information in the Expo garden and around the city at all time．

Option 1: Official site for Expo traffic information

Inspired by Aichi Expo and the Beijing Olympic Games, the Shanghai event will also launch its official website of traffic information, www．jtcx．sh．cn．Mobile phone users can log on to www．jtcx．sh．cn/m．The website delivers daily traffic information as well as travel guide around Expo garden, and advocate using public transport during the event．

Option 2: Expo Transportation guide

Two portable travel guides were produced for the convenience of tourists in the Yangtze River Delta．

One mainly targets visitors from the 19 prefecture-level cities of the Yangtze River Delta．The map introduces information of intercity coach lines, car parks, subway transfers．It will be distributed free at highway tolls and is also available for download on the website．

The other one focuses on visitors in Shanghai．The map will detail the various entries leading to the Expo site, as well as bus stops and subway stations around the city．The introduction of over 90 bus lines connecting the Expo garden to the rest of the city will also be listed．The map will be available at hotels, railway stations, airports and residential areas．

Option 3: Radio and television broadcasts

Visitors can also get updated traffic information at home or on their mobile devices as the Shanghai Traffic information center will broadcast live traffic condition via radio and TV during the event, so that travelers can adjust their travel plan accordingly．

Option 4: Expo transport hotline

If radio and television broadcasts can not meet your needs of traffic information, organizers in Shanghai have also set up a special hotline for Expo traffic enquiries．There will be two hotline numbers 962010 and 12319 at your service twenty-four hours．

Option 5: Variable message signs

For drivers the variable message signs will become the first choice to access to traffic information．During the Expo, the signs will play an important role in helping drivers to receive traffic flow, speed, models and other information, as well as traffic incidents and road closure information, so as to avoid congestion．

Option 6: Mobile phone browsers and taxi terminals

Visitors can obtain real-time traffic conditions via mobile phone browsers．Traffic information will also be provided to car mounted terminals on the 4,000 Expo taxis, which will enable drivers to have timely access to real-time status on roads．

Option 7: Touch screen enquiry machine

As for visitors who stay at hotels who are unfamiliar with the place, the tourism bureau have set up in more than four hundred 3-star hotels the Tourist Information enquiry machine．Visitors can check at terminal routes to Expo garden from the hotels．

1．Which of the following is the best title of the passage above?

A．Seven ways to get Expo transportation info

B．Information on the move

C．Transportation on the way

D．Shanghai and Expo

2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Visitors can get the map of Shanghai Expo Transportation free of charge．

B．Visitors have access to the hotline of Expo traffic enquires only at night．

C．Traffic drivers will be well informed of the traffic conditions on the road．

D．Not all the 3-star hotels are equipped with the screen enquiry machines．

3．The underlined word “congestion” probably means ____．
