（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中MuchofthewoodwassourcedfromAustriabecausesourcinghigh-qualitysuppliesfromNorthAmericanmanufacturerswouldhavebeentooexpensive.（大部分木材來自奧地利，因為從北美制造商那里采購高質(zhì)量的木材成本太高。）可知，建筑用的木材來自奧地利。故選A。

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中Korbestimatedthattheprojectusedabout25percentoftheonsitelabourrequiredforaconcretestructureandthatitwascompletedinabouthalfthetime.（Korb估計，該項目使用了混凝土結(jié)構(gòu)所需的25%的現(xiàn)場勞動力，并在大約一半的時間內(nèi)完成。）可推知，Korb認(rèn)為這個項目很省時。故選A。

（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段BothFernandezandKorbbelievethatthetowerwillprovidefurtherproofofconceptfordeveloperswhoarelookingtocreateinnovativestructuresfromtimber.（Fernandez和Korb都認(rèn)為，這座塔將為那些尋求用木材創(chuàng)造創(chuàng)新結(jié)構(gòu)的開發(fā)商提供進(jìn)一步的概念證明。）可推知，木塔是創(chuàng)新結(jié)構(gòu)的一個很好的例子。故選B。

這篇短文主要介紹了位于威斯康星州密爾沃基市的一座86.6米高的木結(jié)構(gòu)塔樓，該塔樓被認(rèn)證為世界上最高的木結(jié)構(gòu)建筑。該塔樓幾乎完全由木材構(gòu)成，除了底部、電梯和樓梯井外。該結(jié)構(gòu)僅用了兩年時間建成，底部有一個六層高的混凝土框架基座，19層高的木結(jié)構(gòu)塔樓從基座上升。建筑的核心部分采用混凝土制成，以應(yīng)對風(fēng)災(zāi)、地震和火災(zāi)安全等問題。外部幾乎全部由玻璃和金屬板材構(gòu)成。該項目的驅(qū)動力主要是經(jīng)濟(jì)因素，從房地產(chǎn)角度來看，外立面的要求以及木材成本限制等。許多木材來自奧地利，因為從北美制造商那里采購高質(zhì)量的木材將會太昂貴。該塔樓的建設(shè)也增加了勞動力的使用，節(jié)約了時間和成本。該塔樓將為希望創(chuàng)造創(chuàng)新木結(jié)構(gòu)建筑的開發(fā)商提供進(jìn)一步的概念證明。

做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案。5~8.【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。網(wǎng)絡(luò)的迅速發(fā)展帶來了機(jī)遇的同時，也帶來了意想不到的風(fēng)險和意想不到的后果。作者認(rèn)為所有企業(yè)現(xiàn)在需要做的就是聯(lián)合起來在組織內(nèi)建立網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全。

1.

根據(jù)第一段最后一句But,italsobringsunexpectedrisksandunintendedconsequencesthatcanhaveapotentiallynegativeeffect.（但是，它也帶來了意想不到的風(fēng)險和可能產(chǎn)生潛在負(fù)面影響的意想不到的后果。）可知，第一段是為了吸引對網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間的潛在危險的關(guān)注，即讓話題更吸引人。故選D。

2.

根據(jù)第二段Unfortunately,businessestendtomisjudgehowmuchrisktheyfacefromcybercrimesandhowquicklythisriskcandevelop.（不幸的是，企業(yè)往往會誤判他們面臨的網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪風(fēng)險有多大，以及這種風(fēng)險發(fā)展的速度有多快。）可知，在作者看來，企業(yè)缺乏網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全意識。故選A。

3.

根據(jù)第四段中的Withtheadvancementoftechnology,hackers（黑客）havebeenchanginganddeveloping.Sobusinessriskmanagementshouldincluderiskresilience（復(fù)原力）sothatbusinessescanrespondtoanydamagingcyberspaceactivity.（

隨著科技的進(jìn)步，黑客也在不斷變化和發(fā)展。因此，商業(yè)風(fēng)險管理應(yīng)該包括風(fēng)險復(fù)原力，以便企業(yè)能夠應(yīng)對任何破壞性的網(wǎng)絡(luò)活動。）可知，因為威脅一直在變化，所以現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)復(fù)原力是必要的。故選B。

根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句Organisationsmustworktogethertoshareintelligenceandresources.Inthisway,thequality,usabilityandauthenticityofintelligencewillbegreatlyimproved.（各組織必須共同努力，共享情報和資源。這樣，情報的質(zhì)量、可用性和真實性將大大提高。）可知，最后一段主要是講形成真正的復(fù)原力需要共同努力。故選B。9~12.（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段Theplasticvaluechainfacestwokeychallenges：controllingplasticwasteandreducinggreenhousegasemissions.（塑料價值鏈面臨兩個關(guān)鍵挑戰(zhàn)：控制塑料廢物和減少溫室氣體排放）可知，塑料價值鏈面臨的挑戰(zhàn)之一就是減少塑料污染。A.Exploring

renewable

energy.探索可再生能源；B.Reducing

plastic

production.減少塑料生產(chǎn)；C.Decreasing

plastic

pollution.減少塑料污染；D.Achieving

carbon

neutrality.實現(xiàn)碳中和。故選C。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段Recognizingthescaleofthechallenges，SABICunderstandsthatprogresscannotbemadealone.

（認(rèn)識到挑戰(zhàn)的規(guī)模，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司明白，進(jìn)展不可能單獨取得）"以及第四段中"Partnershipsarealsovitalinaddressingplasticwaste.（伙伴關(guān)系在處理塑料廢物方面也至關(guān)重要）可知，合作伙伴的合作對化工公司解決問題至關(guān)重要。A.Technology

development.技術(shù)開發(fā)；B.Partners'

cooperation.合作伙伴的合作；C.Carbon

neutrality.碳中和；D.Sustainable

development.可持續(xù)發(fā)展。故選B。

（3）推理判斷題。由文章最后一段Althoughthechemicalindustryhasmadesignificantprogress，thereisstillmoreworktodotoachievethegoals.SABICisalreadymakingprogressonthecomplex，long—termeffortrequiredandwillcontinuetopartnerwithotherstoincreasethesolutionsneededtopushmeaningfulchange.（盡管化學(xué)工業(yè)取得了重大進(jìn)展，但要實現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)，還有更多的工作要做。沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司已經(jīng)在復(fù)雜的長期努力中取得了進(jìn)展，并將繼續(xù)與其他公司合作，增加推動有意義變革所需的解決方案）可知，SABIC的努力沒有付諸流水，是有成效和意義的。故選D。

（4）標(biāo)題歸納題。由文章第一段Theplasticvaluechainfacestwokeychallenges：controllingplasticwasteandreducinggreenhousegasemissions.Thechemicalindustryhasauniqueroletoplayinaddressingthesechallenges.Cooperationbetweenupstreamanddownstreampartnersisessentialtodevelopsolutionsthatreduceplasticpollutionandemissionsinplasticproduction.SABIC（SaudiBasicIndustriesCorporation）isattheforefrontoftheseefforts.（塑料價值鏈面臨兩個關(guān)鍵挑戰(zhàn)：控制塑料廢物和減少溫室氣體排放?；瘜W(xué)工業(yè)在應(yīng)對這些挑戰(zhàn)方面發(fā)揮著獨特的作用。上游和下游伙伴之間的合作對于制定減少塑料生產(chǎn)中的塑料污染和排放的解決方案至關(guān)重要。沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司（SABIC）站在這些努力的最前沿。）和下文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了料價值鏈面臨的兩個挑戰(zhàn)，以及沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司所做的努力和結(jié)果。因此A項"SABIC：A

這段短文主要講述了塑料價值鏈面臨的兩個關(guān)鍵挑戰(zhàn)：控制塑料廢物和減少溫室氣體排放?；ば袠I(yè)在應(yīng)對這些挑戰(zhàn)中發(fā)揮著獨特的作用。上下游合作伙伴之間的合作至關(guān)重要，以開發(fā)減少塑料污染和塑料生產(chǎn)排放的解決方案。SABIC（沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司）處于這些努力的前沿。SABIC設(shè)定了具體目標(biāo)，包括承諾在2050年實現(xiàn)碳中和。為了實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，該公司制定了碳中和路線圖，重點關(guān)注五個途徑：能源效率、可再生能源、電氣化、碳捕獲、利用和儲存（CCUS）以及綠色/藍(lán)色氫。SABIC認(rèn)識到挑戰(zhàn)的規(guī)模，理解單打獨斗無法取得進(jìn)展。該公司通過倡議積極合作，例如低碳排放技術(shù)（LCET）倡議，化工公司共同加速技術(shù)解決方案的開發(fā)，以實現(xiàn)碳中和。合作伙伴關(guān)系在解決塑料廢物問題中也至關(guān)重要。SABIC是"結(jié)束塑料廢物聯(lián)盟"的創(chuàng)始成員，該組織將價值鏈各方利益相關(guān)者聚集在一起，共同采取行動。該聯(lián)盟致力于實現(xiàn)塑料產(chǎn)品不再進(jìn)入垃圾填埋場或海洋，而是被重復(fù)使用或轉(zhuǎn)化為新產(chǎn)品的未來。SABIC還積極參與推動從線性經(jīng)濟(jì)向循環(huán)碳經(jīng)濟(jì)的轉(zhuǎn)變。作為負(fù)責(zé)任的塑料生產(chǎn)商，SABIC認(rèn)識到向客戶提供可持續(xù)材料的重要性。盡管化工行業(yè)已經(jīng)取得了重大進(jìn)展，但仍有更多工作要
