Recrd densities f fine particulates(微粒)were measured in the city. In Harbin, the levels f PM2.5 (particulate matter) rise t 1,000 micrgrams per cubic meter, wrse than Beijing’s histric highs. Visibility was reduced t belw 50m in parts f Harbin, and belw 500m in mst f the neighburing Jilin Prvince. On Fa Yuen Street in Harbin, visibility f less than 5m was reprted.

Munr didn’t publish her first cllectin f shrt stries until she was 37 years ld, but her stries have always been well-received. Lts f her stries share similar themes and characters, but each stry has its wn twists and turns.
Even thugh she’s wn Canada’s mst famus literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nbel Prize fr Literature is the cherry n tp f Munr’s career. “It brings this incredible recgnitin, bth f her and her career, and f the dedicatin t the shrt stry,” said ne persn.
Alng with the well-respected title cmes 1.3 millin dllars. Munr said everything was “s surprising and wnderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attentin and affectin that has been cming my way.”
Munr knew she was in the running——she was named the secnd-mst likely persn t win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）f Japan——but she never thught that she wuld win.

Men are spending mre and mre time in the kitchen encuraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Grdn Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, accrding t a reprt frm Oxfrd University.
The effect f the celebrity rle mdels, wh have given cking a mre manly picture, has cmbined with a mre general drive twards sexual equality and men nw spend mre than twice the amunt f time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
Accrding t the research by Prf. Jnatahn Gershuny, wh runs the Centre fr Time Research at Oxfrd, men nw spend mre than half an hur a day cking, up frm just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prf. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part f a much wider scial trend. There has been 40 years f sexual equality, but there is anther 40 years prbably t cme.”
Wmen, wh a generatin ag spent nearly tw hurs a day cking, nw spend just ne hur and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far mre time in the kitchen than men.
Sme experts have named these men in aprns as “Gastrsexuals (men using cking skills t impress friends)”, wh have been inspired t pick up a kitchen knife by the success f Ramsay, Oliver as well as ther male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marc Pierre White and Keith Flyd.
“I was married in 1974. When my father came t visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an aprn when I pened the dr. He laughed,” said Prf. Gershuny. “That wuld never happen nw.”
Tw-thirds f adults say that they cme tgether t share at least three times a week, even if it is nt necessarily arund a kitchen r dining rm table. Prf. Gershuny pinted ut that the family meal was nw rarely eaten by all f its members arund a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken n the sfa in the sitting rm, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lt, and few f us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least tw meals a day tgether as a family. But it has survived in a different frmat.”
32. What is ne reasn behind the trend that men spend mre time cking than befre?
A. The imprvement f cks’ status.
B. The influence f ppular female chefs.
C. The change f female’s view n cking.

6.
The extrardinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said t be the nly ne in the wrld t use the same cling and heating principles as the termite mund(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has n air-cnditining and almst n heating. The building—the cuntry’s largest cmmercial and shpping cmplex—uses less than 10% f the energy f a cnventinal building f its size. The Eastgate’s wners saved $3.5 millin n a $36 millin building because an air-cnditining equipment didn’t have t be imprted.
The cmplex is actually tw buildings linked by bridges acrss a shady, glass-rfed atrium(天井) pen t the air. Fans suck fresh air in frm the atrium, blw it upstairs thrugh hllw spaces under the flrs and frm there int each ffice thrugh basebard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn ut via ceiling vents and finally exists thrugh frty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer’s cl nights, big fans blw air thrugh the building seven times an hur t cl the empty flrs. By day, smaller fans blw tw changes f air an hur thrugh the building, t circulate the air which has been in cntact with the cl flrs. Fr winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all pssible nly because Harare is 1600 feet abve sea level, has cludless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ cmmnly drp t 14℃ at night. “Yu culdn’t d this in New Yrk, with its ht summers and cld winters,” Pearce said.
The engineering firm f Ove Arup&Partners mnitrs daily temperatures. It is fund that the temperature f the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exceptin f the annual ht perid just befre the summer rains in Octber and three days in Nvember, when a drkeeper accidentally switched ff the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far mre s than in air-cnditined buildings, where up t 30% f the air is recycled.
28. Why was Eastgate cheaper t be built than a cnventinal building?
A. It was designed in a smaller size.
B. N air cnditiners were fixed in.
C. Its heating system was less advanced.
D. It used rather different building materials.
29. What des “it” refer t in Paragraph 3?
A. Fresh air frm utside.B. Heat in the building.
C. Hllw space.D. Basebard vent.
30. Why wuld a building like Eastgate Nt wrk efficiently in New Yrk?
A. New Yrk has less clear skies as Harare.
B. Its dampness affects the circulatin f air.
C. New Yrk cvers a larger area than Harare.
D. Its temperature changes seasnally rather than daily.
31. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature cntrl system_____.
A. allws a wide range f temperatures
B. functins well fr mst f the year
C. can recycle up t 30% f the air
D. wrks better in ht seasns
