高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Today we bring you an old tale. It’s the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of straw and one made of sticks. The only house left standing was the one made of bricks. Now there is new evidence to suggest that houses built with bales of straw can be very strong. They are also very environmental.

Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain. He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bales and hemp material. During the next twelve months the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in home building. Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.

Professor Walker: “One of the benefits is it’s a relatively inexpensive renewable material that’s readily available.” He also agrees that straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows and helps the environment in other ways. So it can be seen as having no harmful effects on the environment.

Professor Walker: “The straw bale walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation. So we make buildings that require very little heating in the winter or indeed very little cooling in the summer. So they require very little additional energy.”

Professor Walker says this reduces home operating expenses. It also reduces the effect on the environment. He says the current interest in straw bale houses is a direct response to the problem of climate change.

David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction. He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw. But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales made a lot of sense. He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted.

To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw. Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster. He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire. Mr. Lanfear says straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance. And he says his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.

David Lanfear: “We use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.”

1.What’s David Lanfear’s attitude towards the straw houses at last?

A. Ridiculous.　　　 　 B. Approving.

C. Defensive.　　　　　 D. Unbelievable.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Using straw to build houses is dearer than using bricks.

B. The houses built with bales of straw are stronger than those built with bricks.

C. Straw which is convenient to get is much cheaper than thick bricks.

D. Houses made of bricks are no better than those made of straw.

3.According to the passage, we know that ________________.

A. there is some experience in building the straw houses

B. the house made of straw bales is the same as the traditional one

C. the house made of straw bales is still under research

D. it’s uncertain that the straw house can be very strong

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks, which was blown away by a wolf. His brother, by contrast, built a wolf-proof house from bricks. The fairy tale could have been written by an agent for the construction industry, strongly favoring brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.

No other building material has environmental credentials (认证信息) as exciting and overlooked as wood. The energy required to produce a laminated wooden beam (层压木梁) is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. As trees take carbon out of the atmosphere when growing, wooden buildings contribute to negative emissions by storing the stuff. And for refitting older buildings to be more energy efficient, wood is a good insulator (绝缘体). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium (铝) equivalent.

But such bigger stories are still uncommon. Governments can help push the industry to use more wood, particularly in the public sector — the construction industry’s biggest client. That would help wood-building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs. Zero-carbon building regulations should be altered to take account of the emissions that are presented in materials.

Construction codes could be regulated to make building with wood easier. Here the direction of travel is wrong. Britain, for instance, is banning the use of timber on the outside of tall buildings after 72 people died in a tower fire in London in 2017. That is a nonsense. Grenfell Tower was covered in aluminium and plastic, not wood. Modern cross-laminated timber (交叉层叠木板) panels perform better in fire tests than steel ones do.

Carpentry alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world’s buildings into line. But using wood can do much more than is appreciated. The second little pig was not wrong, just before his time.

1.The purpose of the writer telling the story in the first paragraph is to _______.

A.attract the readers’ attention B.make the argument more convincing

C.criticize the author of the tale D.lead in the topic of the text

2.Paragraph 2 is intended to inform us _______.

A.wood is a good insulator

B.such skyscrapers with wood are uncommon currently

C.the unique advantages of wood material being friendly environmental

D.how wood reduces the emission of carbon dioxide

3.Which of the following does NOT belong to the governments’ measures to help the scheme?

A.To encourage the construction industry’s biggest client to use more wood.

B.To transform Zero-carbon building regulations.

C.To arouse the public’s awareness of protecting the woods.

D.To regulate the Construction codes.

4.The author may imply that _______.

A.the second pig in the tale was unlucky

B.the outside of tall buildings Grenfell Tower could have been constructed in wood

C.we haven’t appreciated the characteristics of using wood at all

D.wood-building specialists will achieve greater profits

高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a wolf. His brother, by contrast, built a strong house from bricks to prevent the wolf’s attack. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.

Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behavior by forcing developers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards. These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines (涡轮) and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those given out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structure’s lifetime.

Buildings can become greener. They can be made of more recycled wood and parts of them can be prefabricated in off-site factories, greatly reducing truck journeys. But no other building material has environmental certificates as exciting and overlooked as wood. The energy required to produce a wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After buildings are pulled down, old wooden beams and boards are easy to recycle into new structures. Wood is also a good insulator (隔热材料). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium (铝) frame.

Carpenters’ efforts alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world’s buildings into line. But using wood can do much more than what is appreciated. Thus, the second little pig was not wrong, just before his time.

1.Why is the story about the pigs mentioned?

A.To bring up the topic of the text.

B.To prove the author’s argument.

C.To offer background information.

D.To inspire the readers’ imagination.

2.What can we know about the “zero carbon” standards?

A.It’s impossible to make them come true.

B.They don’t mean no carbon is given out.

C.They are only fit for developed countries.

D.It’s easy for them to meet today’s needs.

3.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.The ways of making buildings greener.

B.The usage of recycled steel in buildings.

C.The findings of new research about wood.

D.The advantages of wood as building materials.

4.Which can replace the underlined word “prefabricated” in paragraph 3?

A.Registered. B.Recycled.

C.Constructed. D.Compared.
