2、ter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pi
3、ttsburgh set themselves the opposite problemhow to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the cam
4、puss six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildingstheaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.” A few moder
5、n buildings recover heat, but the Universitys system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.Along the way, pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. (76) Male students emit more he
6、at than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces.

A thin male who studies hard.Passage 2(77) Heredity(遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live af
11、ter we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get.When summer arrives and light-colored
12、people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk cl
13、erk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not ha
14、ve to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a shin so pale that the veins (血管) showed was considered a mark of great beauty.During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and
15、went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines made their skins pale. (78) Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel so sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In W
16、estern Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sun-lamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions（涂剂）that darken the skin artificially without exposure to su
17、nlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.6.Besides genes, our ski
