2. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to _______ .
A. counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building
B. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy
C. help strengthen the foundation of the building
D. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段最后一句话 “When the ground shakes and the buildings tip forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.” 可知,当地面震动,建筑物倾斜,电脑会迫使建筑物向相反的方向移动,也就是说电脑的功能是平衡地震对建筑物的作用力,故答案为A。
3. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.
A. would cause serious financial problems
B. would be worthwhile though costly
C. would increase the complexity of architectural design
D. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes
答案解析:答案为B。本题为推理题。由最后一段可知,新的灵敏的结构建造起来非常昂贵,然而,它们会拯救许多生命,被地震毁坏的可能性也较小,可以推断,新的建筑物虽然昂贵,但是非常值得,故答案为B。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing (最小化) the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on _______ .
