PAGE PAGE 1 Unit 6　Design 凤凰城大学体育场(University of Phoenix Stadium)位于美国亚利桑那州，是美国著名的亚利桑那红雀橄榄球队的主场以及美国大学生体育协会(NCAA)嘉年华杯的举办地。 Have you ever heard of the University of Phoenix Stadium? It has the most modern technology in the world. Workers began building the stadium in two thousand and three.It was completed about three years and four hundred fifty-five million dollars later.Unlike most stadiums，it has a roof that fully opens.It is made of two parts that slide in and out.This area is called the Valley of the Sun.It sometimes is a very hot place.The average high temperature in the summer is above thirty-seven degrees Celsius.So the roof of the stadium can be closed to permit air conditioning machines to be used.But the roof can be opened during the cooler months for sporting and other events，like big rock concerts and trade shows. The stadium has an unusual feature(特征) that no other stadium has.The natural grass playing field rolls in and out of the structure as needed.The grass grows on an object like a giant tray(托盘)．Most of the time the grass is moved outside to get sunshine and rain.Workers roll it back inside for football games.Officials say this makes the center more usable for non-sporting events. Architect Peter Eisenman designed the huge stadium.Its shape represents the barrel cactus(圆桶掌)，a common(普通的) plant in the area.The huge metal pieces that form its walls shine brightly in the desert sun. 阅读上文并回答下列问题 1．When did workers begin building the stadium? 【答案】　In 2003. 2．Who designed the huge stadium? 【答案】　Peter Eisenman.
