四、阅读理解 (每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项
A
Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.
Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped（立方体形状的） beach house was built to replace one smashed（破碎）to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.
Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement（执行）of building codes wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to survive Category 3 hurricanes with peak（最高点的） winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell（外形） makes it look like "a large party lantern ( 灯笼 )" at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving（蒙蔽）. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings（木桩） - long, slender columns of wood anchored（锚）deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure（不安全的）, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also lift up the house above storm surges（波涛）. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at fantastic speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially hidden by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks（掩饰） the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.
56. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline are required _______ .
A. to be easily reinforced
B. to look smarter in design
C. to meet stricter building standards
D. to be designed in the shape of cubes
57. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because________.
A. it is strengthened by steel rods
B. it is made of redwood
C. it is in the shape of a shell
D. it is built with timber and concrete
58. The main function of the shell is _______ .
A. to strengthen the pilings of the house
B. to give the house a better appearance
C. to protect the wooden frame of the house
D. to slow down the speed of the swelling water
59. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.
A. funny-looking
B. waterproof
C. easily breakable
D. extremely strong
