四、(2024·南通市海安市期末)阅读理解。
No matter where you live, you may hear about the natural disasters. They bring many serious problems to people in disaster areas. People become ill and homeless and some of them even die in the disasters.
Japan is located in East Asia. It has many islands. Lots of rain falls in Japan each year, especially in summer. There is a rainy season in early summer, and typhoons hit parts of the country every year during late summer.
The heavy rain usually destroys the plants. What's worse, the rain usually causes huge floods. Floods in Japan can take away many things, including many people's lives. A Japanese housing developer recently invented a "flood-resistant house". It can remain waterproof during floods.
Because of floods, the loss of housing is a difficult problem all over the world. While engineers are trying to find solutions, few ways are useful. The Japanese housing developer told the public that he had come up with an idea. It can keep people's homes from getting flooded. The new "flood-resistant house" was recently on a popular Japanese TV show and received much attention online.
According to engineers, most houses will be flooded when water reaches the windows. But the "flood-resistant house" can float up to five metres above the ground, so water will not reach the windows.
