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

41. 填 built。考查過去分詞用法。由于句子已經有了謂語動詞 are admired，所以空格處只能填非謂語動詞；再根據 adobe dwellings 與 build 之間的被動關系，可知空格處應填過去分詞（用作后置定語）。

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，故填定冠詞the。

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

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

45. 填 slowly。考查副詞用法。由于所填之詞是用于修飾動詞短語 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。考查動詞不定式用法的用法。本句所涉及的動詞句型為 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”。

48. 填 goes。考查時態的用法。此處描述的是客觀事實（指前面提到的循環不斷地持續下去），故用一般現在時。

49. 填 natural。考查名詞與形容詞的轉換。根據空格后的名詞 architects可知，空格處應填形容詞作定語，即填natural。��

50. 填how。考查語境中連詞的用法。根據空格的形容詞 thick 可知，此處應填how來引導賓語從句。
