Section C Developing ideas & Presenting ideas & Reflection (重点练）
一 阅读理解
One of the tallest wooden buildings in Europe, a 98m timber(木材) mixture skyscraper, is to rise in Berlin.
The 29-storey WoHo tower, to be designed by a firm of Norwegian architects, is intended to be a "light-house project" for low-carbon construction, towering over Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal.
Its core, including lifts and staircase, is to be built around steel-reinforced(加固) concrete structure but the rest of the building, including flats, offices, cafes and a kindergarten, will be fashioned down wooden beams(横梁) and panels.
"As Norwegians, we are used to working a lot with timber." Nicolai Riise, CEO of the Mad Architects' Practice said.
"The thing about timber is that its carbon footprint is close to zero and that it's fantastic material to build with. If you look at this in a broader way, it's one of the ways we are going to be able to beat the climate crisis."
Wooden skyscrapers, once regarded as a pipe dream, have become realistic with the coming of cross-laminated-(交叉叠合) building techniques. Because these structures' parts are fit with care, they can be far lighter than their concrete equivalents(同等物) and are thought to be relatively resistant to fire. A cubic meter of wood can also take an estimated ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Larger wooden structures are planned elsewhere. London is examining blueprints for a 300-meter Oakwood Tower. A project in Tokyo could rise to 350m.
（1）What is special about the WoHo Tower
A.It will serve as a light house.
B.Its core is to be built with timber.
C.It is designed for a Norwegian firm.
D.It will be a tall timber mixture building.
（2）What does Nicolai Riise say about timber
A.It used to be a good choice.
B.It is easy to collect.
C.It is environmentally-friendly.
D.The broader type works better.
（3）What do the underlined words "a pipe dream" in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.A nightmare.
B.Something practical.
C.A piece of cake.
D.Something impossible.
（4）What makes it a reality to build wooden skyscrapers
A.Flexible ideas.
B.The concrete equivalents.
C.Fire resistant materials.
D.New building techniques.
