The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lines 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 (不列颠群岛). 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 toady 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 roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because 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 defiance against the heat. (292 words)
We can learn from the passage that______.
选项
A、thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times
B、thatching is a building craft first created by the English people
C、the English people have a special liking for thatched houses
D、most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsides
答案
C
解析
本题属于主题推断题。根据分析,作为发达国家的英国,乡村茅舍的存在成为迷人一景,人们由于其美丽的风格和冬暖夏凉的性能而对之情有独钟,因此答案是C。注意选项A中的“thatched cottage”是不可能从古代保存下来的,因为根据短文最后部分的内容,茅草屋顶的建筑一般寿命为20~60年。
