四、防震建筑物的发展
语法填空
16．阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。
Earthquake -proof (抗震的) buildings
There are a number of ways buildings can be made strong enough to stand up to earthquakes. The simplest way is to make them much (strong). A building strong enough not (destroy) by a large earthquake, however, would probably look more like a bunker (地堡) than a nice place to live
So engineers have looked for other ways. One is to make the building that can swing (摇摆) from side to side. is to design it so that it doesn't sit directly on the ground but on something that allows it to move a bit with the earthquake. If only a small part of a building (fall) down in an earthquake, damage can be (great) reduced, so buildings are often designed to do this as well.
However, (make) new earthquake -proof buildings is expensive, but with the (develop) of science and technology more efforts will be made to solve problem in the future.
【答案】that/in which；stronger；to be destroyed；in；Another；falls；greatly；making；development；the
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了防震建筑物的发展。
（1）考查定语从句。句意：有许多方法使建筑物可以坚固到足以抵抗地震。 buildings can be made strong enough to stand up to earthquakes.是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词way。在从句中作状语，故填that/in which。
（2）考查形容词。句意：最简单的方法就是让它们更牢固。much修饰比较级，此处暗含比较，故填stronger。
（3）考查非谓语动词。句意：一座坚固到不会被大地震摧毁的建筑,但是，看起来更像个地堡，而不是个居住的好地方。此处不定式作定语，故填to be destroyed。
（4）考查介词。live是不及物动词，作定语是应该加介词in，故填in。
（5）考查代词。句意：另一种是设计成不会直接落在地面上而是在一些能让它随着地震移动的东西上。
one...another...固定短语，“一个.......，另一个.....”，故填Another.
（6）考查时态。句意：如果只有一小部分建筑物在地震中倒塌,破坏可以大大减少，所以建筑物的设计也经常这样做。陈述的是一般现在时，故填falls。
（7）考查副词。此处副词修饰谓语动词作状语，故填greatly。
（8）考查非谓语动词。句意：但是，建造新的防震建筑物是很昂贵的，但是随着科学技术的发展，今后将作出更多的努力来解决这个问题。此处动名词作主语，故填making。
（9）考查名词。此处名词作介词宾语，故填development。
（10）考查冠词。此处是特指，用定冠词，故填the。
【点评】本题考点涉及定语从句，形容词，非谓语动词，介词，代词，时态，副词，名词以及冠词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。

Earthquake -proof (抗震的) buildings
There are a number of ways buildings can be made strong enough to stand up to earthquakes. The simplest way is to make them much (strong). A building strong enough not (destroy) by a large earthquake, however, would probably look more like a bunker (地堡) than a nice place to live
So engineers have looked for other ways. One is to make the building that can swing (摇摆) from side to side. is to design it so that it doesn't sit directly on the ground but on something that allows it to move a bit with the earthquake. If only a small part of a building (fall) down in an earthquake, damage can be (great) reduced, so buildings are often designed to do this as well.
However, (make) new earthquake -proof buildings is expensive, but with the (develop) of science and technology more efforts will be made to solve problem in the future.
