An eample of the second type of house won an Award of Ecellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struc South Carolina, illing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement (执行) of building codes (建筑法规) wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wae, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with pea winds of 179 to 209 ilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island loos anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell maes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But loos can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforc ed with long steel rods to give it etra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings (桩) —long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate (提升) the house above storm waves. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell mass the pilings so that the house doesn't loo lie it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should brea apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect eplained.28. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shore line s hould ________.A. be easily reinforcedB. loo smarter in designC. be designed in the shape of cubesD. satisfy higher building standards29. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ____.A. prevent water from rushing into the houseB. mae stronger pilings deep in the sandC. brea huge sea waves into smaller onesD. withstand pea winds of about 200 m/hr30. The main function of the shell is _______.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to protect the wooden frame of the houseC. to give the house a better appearanceD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water31. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _____.A. fancy-looingB. water-proofC. etremely strongD. easily breaableDA good joe can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joe in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local joes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaer for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speaers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never brea through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never spea to people on the same level as I would spea to a native English speaer.I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could tal about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, joes are only funny for people who share a cultural bacground or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t thin his Chinese joes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding joes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest joes are related to rugby because I now nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard joes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaing countries, the sense of humor is alsodifferent. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony (反话)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to mae a joe—every day, people in the US do n’t see the point of using it so often. “British joes tend to be more subtle and dar, while American joes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit lie Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.32. It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ________.A. there tends to be something behind the words of a joe in a foreign languageB. humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammarC. vocabulary and grammar help you understand joes in a foreign languageD. maing joes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign language33. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?A. She thins that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaing a foreign language.C. She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the EnglishD. She found humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.34. Joe Wong is used as an eample to _________.A. show that i t’s hard to put joes into another languageB. suggest that there are cultural differences in humorC. prove that local people have different taste in humorD. show that epressing ability affects the sense of humor35. From the article we can learn that ________.A. joes about sports are difficult for people to understandB. Americans are generally more humorous than British peopleC. British people’s dar joes often mae people uncomfortableD. not all English native speaers can understand English joes easily第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
