高考英语复习必修2强化训练 UNIT 1　CULTURAL HERITAGE 1 阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the “walking machine”. In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor(技术主管) of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan. In recent decades, China’s rapid modernisation has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed. Shanghai has possibly been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of buildings in the 1930s in the famous Huangpu district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighbourhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date. The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge—it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”, Lan said. However, he couldn’t share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “It can’t be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building,” he said. “But in general, it’s cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.” (2023·山东全国统一考试仿真卷) 1.How does the “walking machine” work A.It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.
