The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter（里氏）scale.The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake.yet the house emerged undamaged.We didn t even crack the paint, ”says engineer Paul Follett.of Britains Timber Research and Development Association.By some estimates, more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures.The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo S spring.Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo.based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears.At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions.Follett says the project will follow anopen source”model: Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”第26题 Thousands of people died in the Bam earthquake mainly because_ .A.the earthquake occurred in the cold DecemberB.many mud.brick houses collapsedC.the earthquake reached 7.8 0n the Richter scaleD.bamboo houses hadn t been built yet答案: B第27题 The phrasea universal material”（Line 5, Paragraph l）refers to a material that can be found_ .A.everywhere in Indial B.in the universeC.in a university D.in a unique place答案: A第28题 What was the result of the test?A.The shake lasted 1 50 seconds.B.The simulation was over 10 times as violent.C.The paint was cracked.D.The model remained undamaged.答案: D第29题 The researchers have been working hard toA.reduce the damage by earthquakesB.explore the functions of bambooC.build bamboo houses for a billion peopleD.design bamboo house models答案: D第30题 Which of the following are the advantages of bamboos in building houses?、Cheap to get.
