答案:old air is removed
原文定位:Yes. Firstly, on the left-hand side of the roof, there's a cooling tower;Yes. This is where hot, stale air from inside the building rises naturally up a chimney. Uh, there are exhaust fans mounted on the roof that push the air out
同义替换:「air is removed」↔「push the air out」
答案:temperature is checked
原文定位:Moving along the top of the roof to the right-hand side, we have the weather station. This monitors how cool the outside air is. Once this is assessed, then the information is fed to computers, and these activate the necessary heating or cooling processes
同义替换:「checked」↔「assessed」
答案:fresh air is pulled in
原文定位:On the right-hand side of the building, below the timber shutters, is the part they call the shower tower;This is where water falls through a three-story tube, sucking in air from outside as it falls
同义替换:「pulled in」↔「sucking in」
答案:water temperature is reduced
原文定位:below ground level in the basement on the right-hand side is a tank which forms another part of the cooling process. The tank is full of small metal balls. Water passes through this tank. Each time it does this, the balls absorb the heat from the water, making it cooler without using any energy
答案:rainwater is used
原文定位:Rainwater is fed down from the roof, and this is where it's used to water the plants that cover the outside wall
答案:heat loss is reduced
原文定位:Because the upper floor windows get more daylight than the lower floor ones, the windows at the top of the building are smaller than those at the bottom. This means energy is saved higher up in the building because not as much heat is wasted through large windows
同义替换:「reduced」↔「not wasted」
答案:where the main entrance is
原文定位:That's right. But we both agreed that the access to the building through a shopping arcade is quite unusual. Yes. The way in is behind a small cafe, which is not what you'd expect
答案:They think the findings are predictable
原文定位:Researchers have been monitoring this for a couple of years now, so the results are clear. But to be honest, I think it's pretty obvious that you feel calmer seeing greenery around you. Yes. We've been reading that in newspapers for ages, haven't we
同义替换:「predictable」↔「obvious」
答案:It might be unpopular with staff
原文定位:You know, the place that's been marked for social interaction between workers, where you can have a coffee and a chat. What are your thoughts about it;Well, I'm just amazed the management allowed it. I'm sure all the staff love to get away from their desks. I would. I'm just not sure how much work I'd get done if I had an edge space to go to
答案:the reaction of the staff
原文定位:Okay, let's think about the water system now. They want to supply one hundred percent of their own non-drinking water needs by recycling water, and it looks like they are on target to complete this stage of the project by early next year. But, you know, I don't think the staff are gonna respond well to this
同义替换:「the reaction of the staff」↔「staff are not gonna respond well」
