Whether you believe in climate change or not, the loss of housing due to floods is a big problem all over the world, and while engineers have been trying to find solutions, few have actually worked.
The Japanese housing developer Ichijo Komuten showed a flood-resistant(抗洪) house that can not only remain waterproof(防水) during floods but also float(漂浮) off the ground. He comes up with an idea to keep people's homes from getting flooded as well as swept away by floods. Their new flood-resistant house was shown on a popular Japanese TV show and has received much attention online ever since.
Japan's TV station visited one of Ichijo's test sites where the company's new flood-resistant house was being put through a flood. Although it looked just like a common house when the test began, by the time that water started rising around it, viewers could see the structure leave the ground and finally float a few inches above it.
▲ It has special vents(通风口) that close up in the event of flooding, and the plumbing(管道) also has special valves(阀门) that prevent water from getting into the home. Electrical equipment like air conditioning is positioned on the upper half of the building to make sure that water doesn't reach it.
What's more, Ichijo's newest invention prevents the house from being swept away. The house is connected to a number of thick iron rods(铁棒) sticking out of the ground with thick cables(电缆) that ensure it stays in place as the water floods past. When the water goes away, the floating house comes back down in its own position.
According to engineers, most homes flood when water reaches the window level, but because the flood-resistant house can float up to five metres above the ground, water is unlikely to reach the windows, and everything else is shut. It works quite well.
1. According to the passage, the flood-resistant house is a house which .
A. gets little attention online B. looks different from others at first
C. can leave the ground and float above it D. can't go back down its own place
2.（创新考法·信息回填）What sentence can be put in " ▲"?
A. What is the flood-resistant house like? B. How does the flood-resistant house work?
C. Who invented the flood-resistant house? D. Where is the flood-resistant house?
3. From the passage, we can infer that .
A. the house cannot prevent water from getting inside
B. the house may get more and more popular in the future
C. it will be expensive to buy the house
D. all the people would like to buy the house

1. C 细节理解题。根据 viewers could see the structure leave the ground and finally float a few inches above it 可知，这种房子可以离开地面，并漂浮在地面上方。
2. B 信息回填题。根据第四段内容可知，本段主要介绍抗洪房屋是如何工作的。
3. B 推理判断题。根据“Their new flood-resistant house was shown on a popular Japanese TV show and has received much attention online ever since.”可推断，这种房子将来可能会越来越受欢迎。

【分析】
1. 第1题是细节理解题，需定位原文中关于抗洪房屋特点的描述，逐一比对选项与原文信息，排除错误选项得出答案。
2. 第2题是信息回填题，需分析上下文逻辑：第三段介绍房屋漂浮的测试现象，第四段阐述房屋的特殊结构及功能，空格处应引出房屋的工作原理，据此选择合适的句子。
3. 第3题是推理判断题，需结合原文提及的房屋受关注的信息，合理推断其未来趋势，排除表述绝对或与原文矛盾的选项。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据原文第三段“viewers could see the structure leave the ground and finally float a few inches above it”可知，该抗洪房屋可离开地面并漂浮在上方，对应选项C。A选项与原文“has received much attention online”矛盾；B选项与原文“looked just like a common house when the test began”矛盾；D选项与原文“the floating house comes back down in its own position”矛盾，故选C。
2. 第2题：空格位于第四段段首，第三段描述房屋漂浮的现象，第四段介绍房屋的特殊结构（通风口闭合、管道阀门、电路位置），这些内容围绕房屋的工作原理展开，因此应选B。A选项询问房屋外观、C选项询问发明者、D选项询问位置，均不符合上下文逻辑，故选B。
3. 第3题：根据原文“Their new flood-resistant house was shown on a popular Japanese TV show and has received much attention online ever since”可推断，该房屋受广泛关注，未来可能更受欢迎，对应选项B。A选项与原文“the plumbing also has special valves that prevent water from getting into the home”矛盾；C选项原文未提及价格，无法推断；D选项“all”表述绝对，不符合文意，故选B。
