【短文大意】短文主要介紹了在美國(guó)西南部印第安人修的一種土坯房，這些房子的特點(diǎn)是：白天可以吸收熱量，到了晚上則可以釋放熱量，這樣一來(lái)就使得房間內(nèi)的溫度適宜。

41. 填 built。考查過(guò)去分詞用法。由于句子已經(jīng)有了謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞 are admired，所以空格處只能填非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞；再根據(jù) adobe dwellings 與 build 之間的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，可知空格處應(yīng)填過(guò)去分詞（用作后置定語(yǔ)）。

42. 填 the。考查冠詞用法。由于空格后的most modern 為形容詞的最高級(jí)，故填定冠詞the。

43. 填 ability。考查形容詞與名詞的變換。根據(jù)空格前的their 可知，此處應(yīng)填名詞形式。

44. 填 using。考查動(dòng)名詞用法。由空格前的介詞without可知空格處應(yīng)該使用動(dòng)名詞形式。

45. 填 slowly。考查副詞用法。由于所填之詞是用于修飾動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ) give out that heat，故用副詞形式 slowly，指“慢慢地”釋放白天吸收的熱量。��

46. 填 to cool。考查動(dòng)詞不定式用法的用法。本句所涉及的動(dòng)詞句型為 be adj. enough to do sth，其意為“足夠……能夠做某事”。��

47. 填 at。考查介詞在固定搭配中的用法。at the same time是固定搭配，意思是“同時(shí)”。

48. 填 goes。考查時(shí)態(tài)的用法。此處描述的是客觀事實(shí)（指前面提到的循環(huán)不斷地持續(xù)下去），故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

49. 填 natural。考查名詞與形容詞的轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)空格后的名詞 architects可知，空格處應(yīng)填形容詞作定語(yǔ)，即填natural。��

50. 填how。考查語(yǔ)境中連詞的用法。根據(jù)空格的形容詞 thick 可知，此處應(yīng)填how來(lái)引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。
