Most people make treehouses using a pile of wood, a hammer, and some nails. Mitchell Joachim, an architect from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has a(n) _36_ vision. He pictures a day when homes will be created from __37__.

Joachim's vision ___38__ an idea called pleaching (編織), where tree branches are grown so that they __39__ weave together. Since the growth patterns of trees are  _40_ by wind and sunlight, it may be __41_ to control the way a tree develops.

These Fabricated Tree House Habitats would use trees grown into shapes as housing. One of the __42_ of these designs is that trees would not have to be cut down __43_.

"A 100 percent treehouse would take _44_ to create," Joachim said.__45_ the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to __46_ the process. Joachim suggests including __47_ materials such as sod (草皮), grasses and living branches in the housing designs. "This material would be able to move __48_ the house grows," Joachim said.

A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in _49__ the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide  _50__. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, __51_ plants could grow from the structure itself.

Work has already __52_ on Joachim's first design—a house made from 50 percent recycled and 50 percent living things. Joachim is confident about the __53__ of his work, as he uses natural products _54_ nature.

"The environment and its study are very important. We need to respect nature, don’t _55_," he said.

解析:

隨著人們環(huán)保意識的增長,保護大自然,愛護大自然已經(jīng)成為人們的共識。最近美國建筑家設(shè)計了一種更環(huán)保的建筑方式,讓活生生的樹自然長成一座房子。

36. D    由下文可知,Joachim的主意與上面提到的不同。

37. A    由下文意義可知,這座房子是由活生生的樹建成的。

38. C    Joachim主意是建立在“將樹枝編織在一起這種想法”上。用be based on表示“建立在……的基礎(chǔ)上”。

39. B    由上文的pleaching,樹枝在成長的過程中,“自然”編織在一起。

40. B    植物的生長受風(fēng)和陽光的“影響”。

41. A    有可能控制樹林生長的方式。

42. D    由上文“將樹木自然長成房子的形狀”,顯然是指這種設(shè)計的優(yōu)點。

43. B    這種設(shè)計的優(yōu)點是不用將樹砍倒來取木材,at ease“自由自在”。

44. D    由下文from 5 to 30 years to grow可知,此處意為“一座100%的活樹房子要很多年才能建成”。

45. A    依靠自然的氣候的條件,要5 到30年才能長出一座房子來。

46. A    由句中的副詞Fortunately可知,有辦法“加快”房子修建的進程。

47. C    由下文例出的材料sod, grasses and living branches判斷,此處應(yīng)為“生態(tài)材料”。

48. B    此處為時間狀語從句,意為:在生長的過程中,這些材料能夠動。

49. C    由上文“發(fā)出水蒸氣”,自然可得出“使房子涼爽”。

50. B    根據(jù)主語“太陽能帆板和風(fēng)”的功能推斷,是給房子提供能源。

51. A    此處是非限制性定語從句,先行詞soil pockets表示地點,所以用where。

52. D    由上下文可知,此項工程已經(jīng)開始。并非“完成、控制或停止”。

53. D    由下文他說的The environment and its study are very important可知,此處表示“他深信他工作的重要性”。

54. B    他使用的是不破壞自然的天然材料。D項coming from與natural products的意義重復(fù)。

55. C    由上文的“尊重大自然”(respect nature),可得出“想當(dāng)然,漠不關(guān)心”。think we are it 自鳴不凡;do it ourselves自作主張;put it like this解釋。

         “I’m going to make you attractive,” said Mika Hill, looking at the  21  of the woman sitting before her.The women once had long,  22 , dark hair.But alopecia(禿頭癥) had  23  her just a little of it.Hill, a wig(假發(fā)) maker, was about to change that.

         Hill enrolled(注冊) in a wig-making  28   in New York.Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to   29   for $300 each.
