Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivan39。s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the awardwinning cubeshaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane（颶風(fēng)）Hugo 10 years ago. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina39。s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn39。t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverlydesigned beach house. Soon after Hugo, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, betterenforced rules. The new beach house on Sullivan39。s Island should be able to withstand a Level 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivan39。s Island looks anything but hurricaneproof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern (燈籠)” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be misleading. The house39。s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage. Huff raised it meters off the ground on timber pilings－long, slim wood pieces anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also raise the house above storm waves. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. 39。These waves e ashore at terrible speeds and cause most of the damage done to beachfront buildings,” said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially hidden by the house39。s groundtoroof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn39。t look like it39。s standing with its pant legs (褲腿) pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.（1）After the Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina39。s shore line are required . A.to be easily reinforcedB.to meet stricter building standardsC.to look smarter in designD.to be designed in the shape of cubes（2）Why is the awardwinning beach house strong and hurricaneproof? A.It is in the shape of a shell.B.It is made of redwood.C.It is strengthened by steel rods.D.It is built with timber and concrete.（3）What39。s the purpose of Huff raising the house meters off the ground on timber pilings? A.To anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand.B.To prevent water from rushing into the house.C.To withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr.D.To make the house look more hurricaneproof.（4）According the last paragraph, the main function of the shell is . A.to give the house a better appearanceB.to strengthen the pilings of the houseC.to protect the wooden frame of the houseD.to slow down the speed of the big waves【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，位于南卡羅來(lái)納州海岸的沙利文島海濱一座玲瓏的小屋以其獨(dú)特的設(shè)計(jì)獲得大獎(jiǎng)。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Soon after Hugo, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, betterenforced rules.”可知在颶風(fēng)造成嚴(yán)重的人員傷亡和巨大的損失后，新建房屋應(yīng)該符合嚴(yán)格的建筑規(guī)定。故選B。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三和第四段的內(nèi)容可知，沙文島上的建筑獲獎(jiǎng)了。而沙利文島上的房子乍一看不像是抗颶風(fēng)的。但外表可能會(huì)誤導(dǎo)人。房子的木制框架用長(zhǎng)的鋼棒加固，以賦予它額外的強(qiáng)度。為了進(jìn)一步保護(hù)房屋免受颶風(fēng)破壞。，深深地扎在沙子里。它們足夠堅(jiān)固，足以支撐房屋的重量。颶風(fēng)來(lái)臨時(shí)波浪在房子下面運(yùn)行，卻不會(huì)沖進(jìn)房子。由知可見，沙文島上的房子抗颶風(fēng)就是由于鋼棒的支撐。故選C。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The structure allows the waves to run under the house instead of running into it．”可判斷出，之所以這么做的目的是防止大水沖入房屋中，故選B。(4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第四段內(nèi)容可知房屋是建在木樁上的。最后一段內(nèi)容為：Huff設(shè)計(jì)的木樁被房子從地面到屋頂?shù)呢悮に[藏，貝殼遮蓋了木樁，這樣房子看起來(lái)就比原來(lái)房屋的外觀好看多了，故選A。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題型的考查，是一篇新聞報(bào)道，要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，結(jié)合題目要求，選出正確答案。8．Dire
