2.On most days,a thick blanket of poisonous smog(煙霧)hangs over Beijing.But one day,China's capital could be dotted with domes(穹頂) filled with clean air.
Orproject,a London-based architecture and design firm,has devised the Bubbles project,a design that envisions massive,balloon-like structures filled with clean air.The plants in them would produce clean air for those living inside the buildings on the edge of the bubbles,while also providing a smog-free space for residents to spend time in the man-made outdoors.Rajat Sodhi,director of Orproject India,spent a year and a half developing the idea with the firm's Beijing team.
The skin of the rootftop bubbles would be created from ETFE,an extremely durable(耐久的),lightweight material that will not rot(腐爛) over time.Each bubble would be filled with gas,allowing it to float.The entire structure would be shaped and fixed with steel supports.
The project has received mixed reactions since it was first released in January.Some are supportive.But critics argue about the idea.Some people say the plan is simply unrealistic and,at best,would lead to two classes of citizens in polluted areas.Most probably only a wealthy few would gain access to the bubble,leaving the unlucky majority trapped in smog.
Rajat Sodhi believes the reaction comes from those who want to solve environmental problems,though he says that isn't his goal and that he doesn't agree with them.He's an architect who creates living spaces,he thinks.The Bubbles project could work in a variety of areas where people are prevented from enjoying green,open spaces for much of the year.
The firm's designers say that project is suitable for hot or cold climates.Mr Sodhi says,"There were basically no green areas in cities,so the air quality drops because there is no natural regeneration(再生)of the air."

分析 短文主要通過講述了由于現(xiàn)在的環(huán)境污染,導(dǎo)致很多人無法呼吸到新鮮的空氣,因而有人創(chuàng)造出了有新鮮空氣的"泡沫項(xiàng)目".
解答 44.C,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子Rajat Sodhi,director of Orproject India,spent a year and a half developing the idea with the firm's Beijing team.可知,Orproject可以從北京的設(shè)計隊(duì)獲得研究數(shù)據(jù),故答案為C.
45.A,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子though he says that isn't his goal and that he doesn't agree with them可知,他對于人們的反映,他不同意,因此可以推測他對于人們的反映是不滿意的,故答案為A.
46.A,主旨大意題,短文主要通過講述了由于現(xiàn)在的環(huán)境污染,導(dǎo)致很多人無法呼吸到新鮮的空氣,因而有人創(chuàng)造出了有新鮮空氣的"泡沫項(xiàng)目",因此答案為A.
