[解析]
(1)D.推理判断题.根据第一段中的The fairy tale could have been wrien by an agent for the construction industry,strongly favoring brick,concrete and steel.However,in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood﹣loving second pig.写《三只小猪》童话故事的作者很可能是建筑行业派来的一个托儿﹣﹣这个行业十分偏爱砖块、混凝土和钢材.然而,现实中,如果有更多建筑商效仿爱用木材的第二只小猪,那将有助于降低污染,减缓全球变暖.由此可知,首段提到童话故事是为了引出文章主题.故选D.
(2)C.推理判断题.根据第二段No other building material has environmental credentials(认证信息)as exciting and overlooked as wood.没有其他的建筑材料和木头一样有令人兴奋的被人们忽略的环保认证信息.由此可知,第二段旨在告知人们木质材料在环保方面的独特优势.故选C.
(3)C.细节理解题.根据第三段中的Govermments can help push the industry to use more wood,particularly in the public sector﹣the construction industry's biggest client.That would help wood﹣building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs.Zero﹣carbon building regulations should be altered to take account of the emissions that are presented in materials.政府正通过强制开发商在建造新项目时满足"零碳"标准,来努力推行更为环保的生活工作方式.转变零碳建筑法规来考虑材料中的排放物.以及第四段中的Construction codes could be regulated to make building with wood easier.建筑规范进行调整,以便使用木头建造更容易.由此可知,政府采取的措施不包括唤醒公众保护木头的意识.故选C.
(4)B.推理判断题.根据第四段中的Grenfell Tower was covered in aluminium and plastic,not wood.Modem cross﹣laminated timber(交叉层叠木板)panels perform better in fire tests than steel ones do.格伦费尔大厦的外墙是铝和塑料,而不是木头.现代交叉层压木板在防火测试中比钢板表现更好.由此推知,作者可能暗示,格伦费尔大厦的高层建筑的外部本可以用木头建造.故选B.
