Question

【题目】 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 师 ) 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(摩天大楼概 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(吊舱) 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 机 ) 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，越来越多的人想住在大城市，但是怎样才能帮助他们住在像东京这样拥挤的城市呢？

【1】细节理解题。根据文中的句子“If people want to buy houses in the skyscraper, they can choose the types of pods(吊舱) 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”，可知摩天大楼顶部的3D打印机可以帮助人们打印他们选择的吊舱。故答案为T。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中的句子“He said, “Vending machines make buying easy and interesting.””，句中的he指代的是Haseef。题目中是一个主句是一般过去时的宾语从句。从句也用一般过去时。所以句中的make应为过去式made。故答案为made buying easy and interesting。

【3】细节理解题。根据文中的句子“Rafiei has caught the world’s attention because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大楼概 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(摩天大楼概 念)—“Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper.”。故答案为Because of his special skyscraper concept(摩天大楼概 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.”是对下文的概括，可以作为本段的中心句。故答案为Haseef’s “Pod Vending Machine” skyscraper can act as a home vending machine。

【5】这是一个由if引导的条件状语从句，根据句中的not……any more“不再”。可知“If a person doesn’t want to live in his pod any more”可以翻译为：如果一个人不想再住在他的这个房子里。由be returned“被收回”以及get recycled“循环使用”。另外“to get recycle的”在句子中作目的状语。所以the pod will be returned to the 3D printer to get recycled.可以翻译为：那么它将会被 3D 打印机收回并可以循环使用。故答案为如果一个人不想再住在他的这个房子里， 那么它将会被 3D打印机收回并可以循环使用。
