根据以下内容回答题:Last December"s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge deat

h toll—roughly 40,000 people——largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud—brick buildings.If a group of researchers in India are successful,the next earthquake might not be as destructive.British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake—proof housing using a cheap,universal material:bamboo. Thev designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls.To test the structure,the engineers,sponsored by the U.K.Depart-ment of qnternational Development,took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Re-search Centre in Bangalore,which has a state.of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置).The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses,being equal to 7.8 on the Richter(里氏)scale.The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake.yet the house emerged undamaged.“We didn’t even crack the paint,”says engineer Paul Follett.of Britain’s Timber Research and Development Association. By some estimates,more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures.The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo’S spring.Easily pre-built,fire resistant,and far lighter than steel,bamboo.based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears.At five dollars a square foot,they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions.Follett says the project will follow an“open source”model:“Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”

Thousands of people died in the Bam earthquake mainly because__________ .

A.the earthquake occurred in the cold December

B.many mud.brick houses collapsed

C.the earthquake reached 7.8 0n the Richter scale

D.bamboo houses hadn’t been built yet

根据以下内容回答题:A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airl

根据以下内容回答题:

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean,leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in air-ports.

Grimsvoto is oDe of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe.What makes Grimsvoto different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川)of ice up to 12 meters thick.The hot volcano heats up the ice above it,which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano.This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano,keeping it stable.As the water flows out from under the glacier,the pressure lifts.The lava(岩浆)from the volcano then comes up to the surface.This is exactly what happened today.

Now.airlines have to make changes to their flights SO as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic as.h.According to.KLM,one of Europe’s biggest airlines,airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it.Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines,causing damage to the plane.

The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland.The volcano left ash and sharp,glass-like rocks all over the countryside.Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash—covered grass or the sharp objects.

What makes Grimsvoto different from other volcanoes? 查看材料

A.It is below-ice.

B.It lies under the sea.

C.It is the largest volcano.

D.Its lava affects the airlines.

根据以下内容回答题:Man has invented ways to keep walqTl,but how do animals defend themselv
es?They can not reason in the sense that a man can,but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts.One of these instincts is known as hibernation(冬眠). “Sleeping like a dormouse”is not only a common saying but is a reality.When winter comes,the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-nourished state.They eat very well in warmer days laying downy fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hiberna- tion this keeps them alive.Safe in their nests,or burrows,they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives. Bats,tortoises,snakes,frogs,even insects like butterflies,hibernate more or less eom-pletely.Some,like the squirrels,sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a waYnl spells.During hibernation,the temperature of an animal’S body drops drastically.Breathing and heart.beats almost cease. Another instinctive method of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration.Wild swans,seagulls,swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles,twice a year,to avoid cold.Many animals,especially those of the Arctic regions,have summer and winter quarters.The Arctic deer of North America;as well as the reindeer of Europe,move southward towards the forests when winter approaches.They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed. There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold.Their in—stinctive means of defence is to dig out a deep burrow,made soft and waYin by padding out with straw,1eaves,moss and fur.In it they have a“secret place”containing food which they hope will last the winter through!Animals which faU into this clhss include the Arctic fox,the rabbit ana the ermine,and the little field-mice.

How does the dormouse defend itself against cold in winter?

A.It moves about to keep warlTl.

B.It grows thicker fur.

C.It sleeps continuously.

D.It goes to warmer areas.

根据以下内容回答题:People landing at London’S Heathrow airport have something new to look

根据以下内容回答题:

People landing at London’S Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly overBritain’S capital city.It is attractive,simple and a little strange.The Millennium Dome is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world.It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life,learning and leisure. The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers,one of British’S most famous architects.His work points the way to new developments in buildin9.Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future. Buildings are also a part of history.They express the culture of the times.Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility.While different designers have individual styles,their work also has a common style.That is:to express the values of the information age. What is an“information age”building?The dome is a good example.After the Millennium exhibition ends,it will be used for another purpose.Just as people no longer have“jobs for life”,modem buildings are designed for a number of different use for another Richard Roger’s building,the Pompidous Center(蓬皮杜艺术中心)in paris,uses the idea that information is communication.Instead of being hidden in the walls,heating pipes and elevators are open to public view.The Pompidous Center is a very honest building.It tells you how it works.

The Millennium Dome has been originally buih to hold an exhibition__________ .

A.of different building designing

B.of the finest things in Britain

C.of everything that can draw the attention of people

D.of recent developments in information technology

根据以下内容回答题:Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from

根据以下内容回答题:

Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others.But the peo-pies of the world have more points in common than points in which they differ.One type of per-son that is common in evcry country is the one who always tries to do as littl.e as possible and to get as much as possible in return.His opposite,the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return,is rare everywhere.

Both these tyDes are usually unconscious of their character.The man who avoids effort is always talking about his“rights”:he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant,easy life.The man who tries to do as little as he Call is always full of excuses:if he has neglected to do something,it was because he had a headache,or the weather was too hot——or too cold——or because he was prevented by bad luck.At first,other people,such as his friends and his em-ployer,generously accept his stories;but soon they realize what kind of person he is.In the long run he deceives only himself.When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job,he is surprised and hurt.He blames everyone and everything except himseIf.He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him,and that he is being unjustly treated.

The central idea of Paragraph l is that__________ . 查看材料

A.each nation is peculiar enough to enable us to distinguish it from others

B.the peoples of the world are as alike as they are different

C.the peoples of the world have more similarities than differences

D.those who do.more than is strictly necessary are common in every country
