三、阅读理解
Among the traditional brick structures that line the streets of this sleepy East Texas town,70 miles north of Houston，a few houses stand out：their roofs are made of license plates.
They are the creations of Dan Phillips,64，who has had an astonishingly varied life，working as an intelligence officer in the Army，a college dance instructor and an antique dealer.About 12 years ago，Mr.Phillips began his latest career：building houses out of trash(垃圾)．
In 1997 Mr.Phillips mortgaged(抵押)his house to start his construction company Phoenix Commotion.“Look at kids playing with blocks，”he said.“I think it’s in everyone’s DNA to want to be a builder.”Moreover，he said，he was disturbed by the irony(嘲讽)of landfills choked with building materials and yet a lack of affordable housing.
To him，almost anything thrown away is potential building material.Standing in one of his houses and pointing to a colorful，zigzag-patterned ceiling he made out of thousands of picture frame corners，Mr.Phillips said，“A shop was getting rid of old samples，and I was there waiting.”
So far，he has built 14 homes in Huntsville，which is his hometown.Mr.Phillips said 80 percent of the materials were saved from other construction projects，got out of trash piles or just picked up from the side of the road.“You can’t go against the laws of physics or building codes，”he said，“but beyond that，the possibilities are endless.”
Mr.Phillips makes use of something thrown away by other builders.He also makes use of mismatched bricks，pieces of broken pottery，mirrors，bottles，old DVDs and even bones from nearby cattle yards.
Phoenix Commotion homes meet local building codes and Mr.Phillips frequently consults with professional engineers，electricians and plumbers(水管工人)to make sure his designs and layouts are sound.
“I’ve been recycling all my life，but it never occurred to me to recycle a door，”said his neighbor.“Dan has changed the way we do things around here.”
Mr.Phillips said his biggest reward was giving less-fortunate people the opportunity to own a home and watching them develop a sense of satisfaction and self-determination in the course of building it.
1．Which of the following is TRUE about Dan Phillips’ company?
A．He sold his house for money to start it.
B．It has been building houses out of trash.
C．All its materials come from other construction projects.
D．It consists of less-fortunate people.
2．Which of the following is not the reason why Dan Phillips became a builder?
A．He believes everyone has a gift for building.
B．He has rich architecture experience.
C．Building materials are easy to find.
D．He shows pity for those who can’t afford a home.
3．To make a sound house，Dan Phillips______.
A．avoids using traditional building materials
B．often argues with his workers
C．often visits some building experts
D．employs some experts to design the houses
4．What effect does Dan Phillips have on others?
A．He has inspired more people to build cheap houses.
B．He has changed people’s opinion of recycling.
C．He has solved the problem of housing.
D．He has helped 14 less-fortunate people have their homes.
