Question

【題目】 Today more and more people want to live in big cities, but what can be done to help them live in crowded cities like Tokyo? Many architects( 建 筑 師 ) are looking for ways to solve this problem. 25-year-old Haseef Rafiei has caught the world’s attention because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大樓概 念)—“Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper.

Haseef comes from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is now a student of Manchester School of Architecture. He got his idea form a trip to Japan. He noticed vending machines are popular in Japan. He said, “Vending machines make buying easy and interesting.” After seeing vending machines have made such a difference to people’s lives, Haseef thought, “Why not build skyscrapers that act the same way?”

Haseef’s “Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper can act as a home vending machine. If people want to buy houses in the skyscraper, they can choose the types of pods(吊艙) they’d like to live in and what the inside of the pods looks like. Then the large 3D printer at the top of skyscraper can get the pods printed and then cranes ( 起 重 機(jī) ) can get the pods placed. A smart system inside the skyscraper decides the best place for every pod. If a person doesn’t want to live in his pod any more, the pod will be returned to the 3D printer to get recycled. How amazing it is!

【解析】

今天，越來越多的人想住在大城市，但是怎樣才能幫助他們住在像東京這樣擁擠的城市呢？

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“If people want to buy houses in the skyscraper, they can choose the types of pods(吊艙) they’d like to live in and what the inside of the pods looks like. Then the large 3D printer at the top of skyscraper can get the pods printed”，可知摩天大樓頂部的3D打印機(jī)可以幫助人們打印他們選擇的吊艙。故答案為T。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“He said, “Vending machines make buying easy and interesting.””，句中的he指代的是Haseef。題目中是一個(gè)主句是一般過去時(shí)的賓語從句。從句也用一般過去時(shí)。所以句中的make應(yīng)為過去式made。故答案為made buying easy and interesting。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“Rafiei has caught the world’s attention because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大樓概 念)—“Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper.”，可知吸引全世界目光的主要原因是because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大樓概 念)—“Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper.”。故答案為Because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大樓概 念)—“Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper.”。

【4】本段的第一句“Haseef’s “Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper can act as a home vending machine.”是對下文的概括，可以作為本段的中心句。故答案為Haseef’s “Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper can act as a home vending machine。

【5】這是一個(gè)由if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，根據(jù)句中的not……any more“不再”�？芍�“If a person doesn’t want to live in his pod any more”可以翻譯為：如果一個(gè)人不想再住在他的這個(gè)房子里。由be returned“被收回”以及get recycled“循環(huán)使用”。另外“to get recycle的”在句子中作目的狀語。所以the pod will be returned to the 3D printer to get recycled.可以翻譯為：那么它將會被 3D 打印機(jī)收回并可以循環(huán)使用。故答案為如果一個(gè)人不想再住在他的這個(gè)房子里， 那么它將會被 3D打印機(jī)收回并可以循環(huán)使用。
