The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England.Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.
Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles (英伦诸岛).Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches,too.
Thatching is a solitary (独自的) craft, which often runs in families.The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old rods as well as thatching newer houses.Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but became they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.
In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways.People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings.However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months.Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.
People in developing countries also live under thatch because______.
选项
A、thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction
B、thatched roof houses are the cheapest
C、thatch is an effective defense against the heat
D、they like thatched houses better than other buildings
答案
B
解析
依据文章第四段第四行可以看出:发展中国家也有人居住在thatched cottages里,是因为他们没钱建更好的房子,而他们使用的是wild grasses极为便宜。
