考点分类练(十) 主旨大意题(1) Passage 1 (2024福建泉州三模) 主题:改造旧飞机 词数:305 难度:★★★ Bruce Campbell,a retired electrical engineer,wanted to change the behavior of mankind by showing how we can recycle old things into new- and practical- and livable ones. For about $220,000,he purchased a Greek airliner—a Boeing 727-400—that logged about 40,000 flights in its peak.Before Campbell got his hands on his Boeing 727 and transformed it into the airplane home he lives in,this aircraft saw regular use as it transported all kinds of people to all sorts of destinations. After the successful transform,he hosted a big DJ dance party with a couple of friends.The party,called Turbulence:A Dance Party at a 727 in the Woods,happened right on the wing!Guests who attended the party also got the opportunity to take a look at the airplane home.Overall,they got the attention of 14,000 Meta users who were interested in what sounded like an incredible party. This talented engineer got another airliner and started on his second airplane home during the beginning of 2018 on the Kyushu Island coast because he wanted it to serve as a safe place for the local community as well.Part of Bruce Campbell’s vision was to make an airliner that doubled as a lifeboat in case tsunami (海啸) threats were issued.He wanted the general public to find out that planes are capable of surviving hundreds of years and the cruelest weather conditions thanks to its sealed pressure technology. Campbell adored the excitement that he received when he recycled airplanes and hoped that people would seriously consider it after they got the chance to see his home during tours and events.He has posted on his website that it is his goal to “inspire a renaissance (复兴) of thought about how to employ this remarkable resource”. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一位退休的电气工程师Bruce Campbell把旧飞机改造成家的故事。 1.What drew wide public attention to Campbell’s first transformed plane A.Its high residential comfort level.
