阅读理解 A villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed (压榨) under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material. The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors(传感器) will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels. The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape. If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the ruins to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed. Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.”1.The aim of the passage is to ________.A.report a piece of interesting newsB.promote tremor-resistant homesC.inform us of the nanotechnology developmentD.tell us something about a tremor-resistant home2.The villa can resist earthquakes because _______.A.it will be built on a special placeB.the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymersC.the special particles can make its walls strongerD.the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack3.If the tremor-resistant home falls down, _______.A.rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB.the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC.no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD.a warning signal will be given to other residents4.What Prof Wilkins said suggests that _______.A.he is doubtful about the projectB.he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC.he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD.the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation5.It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home _______.A.is still being tried outB.is already under constructionC.has been in wide useD.will be put into wide use soon

DBACA解析文章谈论的是用新型材料进行的防震建筑的建造。1.D 主旨大意题。文章谈论的是用新型材料进行的防震建筑的建造。2.B 细节题。根据第一段最后三行The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed (压榨) under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material. 可知B正确。3.A 细节题。根据文章第三段内容2,3行If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.可知如果有地震，这种墙里面的感应器将警告人们，以至于人们有时间逃脱，A正确。4.C 推理题。根据文章最后一段可知他对于这种新型的防震建筑很有信心，认为它可以成为一种很好的防震工具。5.A 推理题。根据文章最后一段The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board.可知这种墙还在试验阶段，还没有真正的投入运行。
