英语六级阅读精华：俄版诺亚方舟酒店诞生

　　It looks like a cross between Noahs Ark and something out of a 1970s science-fiction film. The futuristic Ark Hotel has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels。

　　The floating behemoth is a biosphere conceived as a safe, self-contained haven in case of disaster. Boasting a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters。

　　在好莱坞罗兰艾默里奇著名的电影《2012》中，我们看到了在电影人脑海中那气宇轩昂的中国制造诺亚方舟，如今有建筑师设计 出在内部有完整生物圈、生态系统的超级奢华蛋形诺亚方舟酒店，这个酒店号称可以抵御任何自然灾害的袭击，比如洪水、地震，比如在电影2012中看到的海平面升高造成的悲剧，因为设计图中看到的酒店造型太过梦幻，有人把它联想到诺亚方舟。

　　The design uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water. The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food sources.Because of the see-through structure enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for lighting. And to ensure quality of light, the frame is protected with a self-cleaning layer。

　　设计者称，该诺亚方舟酒店应用了太阳能、以及雨水自动采集等新能源手段，在能源供应上完全实现自己供能状态，无需外界的电力支持。有人担心酒店因封闭化设置店内的空气会因不能通风而浑浊不堪，其实设计者早已经预料到这个问题，他把酒店设计成一个温室大棚，在棚内种植大量植物确保空气质量清晰以及酒店内新鲜蔬菜果实的供应。在采光上，诺亚方舟酒店实现全透明化设计，这样在白天阳光就可以直接射入棚内，确保了采光的质量。即使在阴天，设计师贴心设计了可以自动调节的图层，确保光线让顾客满意。
