(受到当地用木材碎片、竹子和泥土等可持续材料建造的建筑的启发，拉里的避难所可以更好地抵御灾害。)”可知，Lari设计的房屋就地取材，低成本、零碳，实用环保即这些材料是可持续的材料。故选C。【6题详析】细节理解题。根据第五段中“ListeningtoherfathertalkaboutthehousingcrisisandneedforarchitectsmadeanimpressiononLari.OnafamilyvisittoLondonwhenshewas15,sheappliedtoarchitectureschoolatOxfordBrookesUniversity.

(听父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给拉里留下了深刻的印象。15岁时随家人去伦敦旅游，她申请了牛津布鲁克斯大学(OxfordbrooksUniversity)的建筑学院。)”可知，Lari申请建筑学院的原因是因为听父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给其留下了深刻的印象。故选C。【7题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Atage83,YasmeenLariisstillfullofideasaboutzero-carbondesigns,skillsbuildingandself-sustainingvillages.(83岁高龄的YasmeenLari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法。)”以及““Architectscannolongerworkforjusttheonepercent,”shesays.“Thatdoesn’tallowthemtoservehumanityasmuchastheycould.”(“建筑师不能再只为那1%的人工作了，”她说。“这让他们无法尽其所能为人类服务。”)”可知，YasmeenLari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法以及她认为建筑师应该尽全力为所有人服务，故体现出她是富有同情心和环保意识的。故选D。CFoodisextremelyimportanttoushumanbeingsandriceisoneofthemainfoodintheworld.Australianresearchershavediscoveredawaytogeneticallyengineerricewhichwouldprovidesignificanthealthbenefitstomorethanhalftheworld’spopulation.AstudyundertakenattheUniversityofTasmania,publishedinarespectedjournaloftheNationalAcademyofSciences,discoveredamethodtoincreasetheresistantstarch(抗性淀粉）contentinrice,makingitmoredigestibleandleadingtolowerrateofdiabetes(糖尿病）andoverweight.StevenSmith,theleadauthorofthestudyandaforeignexpertfortheChinesegovernmentwhohasbeenappointedtoworkoncropimprovementprojectsbytheChineseAcademyofSciences,saidincreasingthehigherresistantstarchcontentgavethis“designer”ricemanyaddedhealthbenefits.“Wehavediscoveredthatwecanincreasetheamountofresistantstarchincookedrice,whichcouldprovidehealthbenefitsforalargenumberofpeopleinAsiaandbeyond,”SmithsaidinamediareleaseonFriday.“Thesameapproachcanbeadaptedforuseinothercereals,includingwheat.Notonlycanithavebenefitsfordiabetesandobesity,butalsofordisordersofthebowel(肠）includingcancer.”Riceisthemainfoodformorethanhalftheworld’spopulation,providingmuchoftheworldwithmostoftheircalories.SmithsaidthatastherateofdiabetesandobesityinAsiancountriescontinuedtogrow,his“designer”ricecouldprovideawaytolimithealthproblems.“Notonlydoesresistantstarchreducethepossibilityofa‘sugarhit’butitalsoreducestheappetiteandpromotesthegrowthofthehealthygerms.”Smithsaid.SmithdivideshistimebetweentheUniversityofTasmaniaandhisresearchlabinBeijingwherehehopestomakesignificantadvanceinsustainable(可持续的）living.8.Whatdoweknowaboutthestudy?A.ItispartofChinesecropimprovementprojects.B.Itwillhaveasignificanteffectoncropresearches.C.Itwasjointly（联合地）carriedoutbyAustraliaandChina.D.Ithelpssolvethefoodproblemforoverhalfoftheworld’spopulation.9.Basedonthetext,theresistantstarch________.A.existsinlargeamountsincookedriceB.decreasesthepossibilityofa“sugarhit”andprovidesmorecaloriesC.ishelpfulindigestionandlowerstherateofoverweightanddiabetesD.increasespeople’sappetiteandimprovesthegrowthofhealthygerms10.Theunderlinedword“it”inParagraph3refersto_________.A.resistantstarch B.cookedriceC.theapproach D.mediarelease11.Wheredoesthistextprobablycomefrom?A.Anenvironmentalreport.
