Module5 Great People and Great Inventions of Ancient China Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2017·高考浙江卷)Last summer，two nineteenth－century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana，to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco.The houses were made of wood.These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil；now they hold Twitter engineers. The cottages could be an example of the industry's odd love affair with “low technology，”a concept associated with the natural world，and with old－school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era.Low technology is not virtual(虚拟的)—so，to take advantage of it，Internet companies have had to get creative.The rescued wood cottages， fitted by hand in the late eighteen－hundreds，are an obvious example，but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end.Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature. Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees，so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural，park－like setting.”At Google's office，an entire floor is carpeted in grass.Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail. |
