Question

The Building That Moves
Everyone knows that buildings don't move．They can't change the way they look．However，architect（建筑师）David Fisher wants to change that．
Fisher has an amazing idea．He wants to make 80-story buildings that change shape．Each floor will move around slowly．The floors will move at different speeds．Because of this，the shape of the building is always changing．"These buildings will never look the same，"says Fisher．
His idea is an interesting one．However，Fisher doesn't stop there．He also wants the building to be"green"．The building will make its own energy．In most buildings，only the top floor has a roof（屋顶）．In Fisher's building，each floor will have its own roof．The roofs each have solar panels（太阳能板）．This means a lot more solar energy．Also，machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind．They will turn the wind into energy．
Fisher's ideas sound impossible．However，that's what people also said before humans traveled into space!

16．The passage is mainly talking about___．
A．buildings for the future
B．the life of an architect
C．how green buildings work
17．The underlined word"80-story"means the building has 80___．
A．shapes
B．floors
C．different speeds
18．Fisher's building can make its own energy because the building___．
A．is tall and always moving
B．is tall and has many solar panels
C．is always moving and has many solar panels
19．The Fisher's building will NOT get energy from___．
A．the sun
B．the water
C．the wind
20．Why does the writer say"that's what people also said before humans traveled into space"？___
A．To show why Fisher's building will never work．
B．To show why Fisher's building is like a spaceship．
C．To show that unusual ideas can sometimes work．

Answer 1

答案：
16、A       内容归纳题           根据第一段He wants to make 80-story buildings that change shape，"他想建一座80层能改变形状的楼房"根据第二段He also wants the building to be"green"．"他想让楼房成为"绿色"楼房，可知这篇短文讲的是未来的楼房．故选A
17、B        词义猜测题            根据He wants to make 80-story buildings that change shape可知他想建一座80…能改变形状的楼房，结合含有划线单词的句子的下文Each floor will move around slowly．The floors will move at different speeds．"每层都将能慢慢移动．所有楼层都将以不同的速度移动"可推知story的意思与floor一致，即意为"楼层"，故选B
18、C         细节理解题              根据第二段In Fisher's building，each floor will have its own roof．The roofs each have solar panels（太阳能板）．This means a lot more solar energy．可知Fisher设计的楼房每层都有自己的屋顶．每个屋顶上都有太阳能板．这意味着有更多的太阳能，所以这种楼房自己产生能量．故选C
19、B          细节理解题            根据第二段The roofs each have solar panels（太阳能板）．This means a lot more solar energy．Also，machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind．They will turn the wind into energy可知Fisher设计的楼房从太阳和风中获得能量，即没有提到水，故选B
20、C          推理判断题            根据最后一句Fisher's ideas sound impossible．However，that's what people also said before humans traveled into space，"Fisher的想法听起来不可能．那也是人类进入太空旅行之前说的话．"以人类能进入太空这种在以前看似不能实现的事情为例，可推知作者的目的是表明不同寻常的想法也能实现．故选C
