This is now also true of the building industry; for mechanization has been introduced. System building can save both time and money. The principle of system building is that the building is made from a set of standard units. These are either made at the building-site or at a factory. Some designers, in fact, are standardizing the dimensions of rooms. They are made in multiples of a single fixed length, usually ten centimeters. This is called a modular (标准件的) system, and it means that manufactures can produce standardized fittings at a lower cost. The most important fact about system building is its speed. A ten-storey flat, for example, can be completed in four months. There are several new methods of system building. One is the panel method. In this case, the construction company sometimes erects a factory on the site. The walls and floors of the building, called panels, are cast in a horizontal or vertical position. Conduits for electrical wires and sleeves for pipes are cast in the panels when they are being made. The moulds for making these castings are situated all around the building. After the concrete panels are cast, they are allowed to set and harden for a week. Next they are lifted by a tower crane on to any section of the building. There the panels are cemented together at their joints and the floor covering is laid. After the panels have been cemented together, the crane lifts a case into the area. It contains all the fittings to be installed, such as wash-basins, radiators and pipes. Finishing tradesmen, such as plumbers, plasterers, painters and electricians, follow behind to complete the work. In some building developments, in some countries, whole flats with internal features like their bathrooms, bedrooms and connecting stairs, and weighing as much as twenty tons, are carried to the building-site ready-made. A giant overhead crane is used to lift them into position. In the future, this method may become more widespread. 1. Which of these statements is TRUE of system building? A. It employs more men. B. It is difficult and dangerous. C. It can save both time and money. D. It means less mechanization. 2. The main difference between panel method and the method discussed in the last paragraph is_. A. the latter uses ready-made internal features B. panels are cast in a level position C. the former is used to build walls and floors while the latter to construct bathrooms or bedrooms D. the former is more expensive than the latter 3. According to the passage, the principle of system building is that_. A. construction methods are safer B. buildings are made from a set of standardized units C. similar buildings can be produced D. all units are produced on the site 4. What lifts the concrete panels onto the building? A. Cranes. B. Man-power. C. Pulleys. D. Hydraulic jacks. 5. The usual fixed length in the modular system is_. A. twenty centimeters B. ten millimeters C. fifty centimeters D. ten centimeters 参考答案： 1. C 2.A 3. B 4. A 5. D 英语六级阅读提分练习和答案： Are some people born clever, and othersborn stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and ourexperiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. Tosome extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of specialeducation can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On theother hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop hisintelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus thelimits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not hereaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held bymost experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence isto some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationshipbetween two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus ifwe take two unrelated people at random(随意的) from the population,it is likely thattheir degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the otherhand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be asintelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents andchildren, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligencedepends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identicaltwins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We wouldsoon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates thatenvironment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested bythe fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are notrelated at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 26. Which of these sentences bestdescribes the writer's point in Paragraph 1? A. To some extent, intelligence is givenat birth. B. Intelligence is developed by theenvironment. C. Some people are born clever andothers born stupid. D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, butis developed by the environment. 27. It is suggested in this passagethat_. A. unrelated people are not likely tohave different intelligence B. close relations usually have similarintelligence C. the closer the blood relationshipbetween people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence D. people who live in close contact witheach other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence 28. Brothers and sisters are likely to_. A. have similar intelligence B. havedifferent intelligence C. go to the same university D. go tothe same factory 29. In Paragraph 1, the word"surroundings" means_. A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing 30. The best title for this articlewould be_. A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means C. We Are Born with Intelligence D. Environment Plays a Part inDeveloping Intelligence 答案：DBACA 本文来源：网络收集与整理，如有侵权，请联系作者删除，谢谢！第9页 共9页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页
