这篇短文主要介绍了从洛杉矶到旧金山的3天旅游行程。第一天，我们将从洛杉矶出发，前往风景如画的蒙特雷半岛，欣赏大海的微风、汹涌的海浪、奇特的岩石和可爱的海豹。然后我们将参观世界一流的高尔夫球场度假村，欣赏令人惊叹的海景和价值百万美元的豪宅，接着我们将欣赏令人叹为观止的17英里海岸线的风景。第二天，我们将前往旧金山参观金门大桥、著名的弯弯街、美术宫和渔人码头。第三天，我们将参观世界上最壮观的景点之一，优胜美地国家公园。短文还提到了不包括在行程中的午餐和晚餐费用，以及景点门票价格。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。4~7.（1）细节理解题。根据第三段中sotheteamworkedwiththeForestProductsLaboratorytooptimizethecolumnstomeetthisstandard."Wethinkitwasthefirstthree-hourfiretestingoncolumns，"saidFernandez（因此该团队与森林产品实验室合作，优化这些柱子，以满足这一标准。费尔南德斯说："我们认为这是对柱子进行的第一次三小时的防火测试。"）可知，关于这栋楼我们知道它的柱子可以经受三个小时的防火测试。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据第五段中MuchofthewoodwassourcedfromAustriabecausesourcinghigh-qualitysuppliesfromNorthAmericanmanufacturerswouldhavebeentooexpensive.（大部分木材来自奥地利，因为从北美制造商那里采购高质量的木材成本太高。）可知，建筑用的木材来自奥地利。故选A。

（3）推理判断题。根据第五段中Korbestimatedthattheprojectusedabout25percentoftheonsitelabourrequiredforaconcretestructureandthatitwascompletedinabouthalfthetime.（Korb估计，该项目使用了混凝土结构所需的25%的现场劳动力，并在大约一半的时间内完成。）可推知，Korb认为这个项目很省时。故选A。

这篇短文主要介绍了位于威斯康星州密尔沃基市的一座86.6米高的木结构塔楼，该塔楼被认证为世界上最高的木结构建筑。该塔楼几乎完全由木材构成，除了底部、电梯和楼梯井外。该结构仅用了两年时间建成，底部有一个六层高的混凝土框架基座，19层高的木结构塔楼从基座上升。建筑的核心部分采用混凝土制成，以应对风灾、地震和火灾安全等问题。外部几乎全部由玻璃和金属板材构成。该项目的驱动力主要是经济因素，从房地产角度来看，外立面的要求以及木材成本限制等。许多木材来自奥地利，因为从北美制造商那里采购高质量的木材将会太昂贵。该塔楼的建设也增加了劳动力的使用，节约了时间和成本。该塔楼将为希望创造创新木结构建筑的开发商提供进一步的概念证明。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。8~10.（1）细节理解题。由文章第一段中的Fancyspendingyoursummerbreakimprovingyourskillsandpreparingforyourfirstjob（想利用暑假提高自己的技能，为自己的第一份工作做准备吗）；以及后文的介绍，可知这些暑期项目是为了帮助学生提高自己的技能。故选A。
