Accordingtothearticle,whatisthemostcommonformofmulti-storybuildinginTurkey?

AWoodenstructures.

BReinforcedconcretesinglelevels.

CTheconcreteframe.

DThedogboneframe.

【正确答案】：

C

【本题分数】：

1.0分

【答案解析】

本题为细节推断题。

文章第一段提到“Thisisthemostcommonformofmulti-storybuildinginTurkey.It'swhatwecallaconcreteframe.”完全符合题意，土耳其最普通的多层结构建筑式样是钢筋水泥结构，故选C。

第2题

Accordingtothearticle,whyisitsignificantthatbuildingswayhaveshopsonthefirst（ground）floorswithglasswindowdisplays?

APeopleliketoshoponthegroundfloorofbuildings.

BPeoplecanseeintothewindowsonthislevel.

CWindowsdonotsupportabuildingaswellaswallsdo.

DPeopleshouldnotshopinlargebuildings.

【正确答案】：

C

【本题分数】：

1.0分

【答案解析】

本题为细节题。

选项C给考生造成了一些小小的麻烦，aswellas不是表示并列关系的固定搭配，而是as...as结构，意为“窗户对建筑物的支撑作用远不及砖墙。

”文章第一段涉及到此题的内容“Theriskofbuildingcollapseincreaseswhenthefirstfloorisashopandglasswindowsreplacebrickwalls”，即底层如果开商店，而且用玻璃窗代替砖墙的话，建筑物在地震时倒塌的风险就大大增加。

故选C。

第3题

EarthquakesinCaliforniahavetaughtpeople______.

Atohavepanicattackswithstrangers

Bwaysofcopingwithconstructiontechniques

Chowtobuildweakjoints

Dtobeseismicengineers

【正确答案】：

B

【本题分数】：

1.0分

【答案解析】

本题为细节推断题。

文章的第三段提到“InCalifornia，whereeachbigquaketeachesengineersanotherwayofcoping，steelframesreducetheweightofnewbuildings，andstrongjointskeepthemagile.”。

我们可以直接得出“加州的地震教会人们如何应对不同的建筑结构”，即选B。

第4题

AccordingtostructuralengineersinCalifornia,whatisimportantforanearthquake-resistantbuilding?

ARigidframessothatbuildingsdonotmoveinearthquakes.

BConcreteframes.

CBuildingsdesignedtomoveandsway.

DOne-storybuildings.

【正确答案】：

C

【本题分数】：

1.0分

【答案解析】

本题为因果推断题。

这一题要求考生有一定的联想能力和语篇概念。

答案虽然出现在第四段，但需要使用第三段的背景知识，即加州的地震告诉人们钢筋结构能够减轻建筑物的重量，同时强劲的联结部位也有助于使建筑物更加灵活。

这样一来，考生就不难理解“Thebuildingisdesignedtomoveandtosway，andtheconnectionstostaytogether”的真正目的是为了印证防震建筑物的重要之处在于建筑物的灵活性。

故选C。

第5题

Accordingtothearticle,whyshouldbuildingjointsbeagile?

ASuchjointsarecheap.

BSuchjointsmakebuildingsflexibleandmoveable.

CSuchjointsareconcreteframes.

DSuchjointsmakethebuildingsrigid.

【正确答案】：

B

【本题分数】：

1.0分

【答案解析】

本题为细节题。

如果运用前文提到的概念已经可以初步判断选项B是正确的。

考生接着往下读会发现文章第五段出现“theweaknessofrigidjoints”，正话反说，即建筑物的联结处如果能灵活些，这就成为了建筑物的优势。

这给考生选择B又平添了不少信心。
