W: Didn’t you write a paper about Albert Kahn last semester?
M: Yes, for my history of architecture class.
W: Oh, I am taking it now and [12]I have to do some research on industrial architecture. I need to read up on Kahn’s factories. So I would like to see what you wrote about them,
M: I don’t think my paper will help; I focus on his classical design like Clements library and office buildings, but you are interested in the modern building he is famous for.
W: Yes, he is best known for his factory, especially the auto plants in Detroit. He made a breakthrough in industrial design. [13]You know before his time, factories were so narrow and inefficient, but his factory provided enough light and air and open space. So the cars could be assembled in one huge plant.
M: I remember reading that previously, factories had wooden frames and the heavy machinery made the buildings vibrate and there were fire hazards too. But when Kahn started to design auto plants around the turn of the century, reinforced concrete had just been invented. [14]With the reinforced concrete, not only were the buildings solid and fireproof but they were cheap to put up too!
W: You seem to know a lot of about his industrial career.
M: Actually even though I wrote about his other works, [15]I did a lot of background reading. Let me see if I can dig up that paper for you. There were some books of articles included in my biography that you might want to look up at the library.
W: Thank you. It will be a great help for me.
12.Why does the woman want to read the man’ paper about Albert Kahn?
13.What do we know about Kahn’s factories according to the conversation?
14.What changes did the reinforced concrete bring to the architecture industry?
15.Why does the man know so much about Kahn’s industrial career?
选项
A、She needs to do some research on industrial architecture.
B、Albert Kahn is the woman’s most-respected architect.
C、She is interested in his classical design and industrial design.
D、Albert Kahn designed many grand factories all over the world.
答案
A
解析
女士说想对工业建筑进行研究,需要研读Kahn设计的工厂,所以想看看男士所写的与之相关的论文,故选A。
①浏览选项可发现对话内容可能与architecture(建筑)有关,可推测应该是讨论Albert Kahn的设计。
②B、D无原文支持;女士感兴趣的是该建筑师的工业建筑,C的语义扩大了,也非本题所问,不选。
③符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。
