两位建筑系学生Luke和Millie讨论关于塑料作为建筑材料的作业。他们谈到20世纪60年代塑料建筑因外观太未来主义而不受公众欢迎，以及旧塑料在强风下不稳定、遇光开裂、遇水变形等问题，并商量通过图书馆期刊等学术资源查找资料。
答案：People didn't want to live in them.
原文定位：So you mean it was their appearance;No. People liked their modern design, but the idea of that sort of building as a home just didn't appeal
同义替换：「fail to please the public」↔「didn't appeal」
答案：the effects of light and water
原文定位：They managed to fix that by amending the shape of the buildings. But the real disadvantage was that when the plastic was exposed to the light, it developed fine cracks, and when rain got into these cracks, the plastic would deform and lose its strength
同义替换：「unable to overcome the problem」↔「the real disadvantage」
答案：journals
原文定位：Maybe we could ask one of the PhD students;I expect they'll be too busy;Well, we could always use the Internet;Maybe we should research more academic sources, like the journals we have in the library;Hmm. Okay. That way we can reference everything properly
同义替换：「try to get more」↔「research more」，「present-day」↔「the situation nowadays」
答案：It was a good introduction to the topic.
原文定位：Yeah, and it wasn't too technical, but you did need to know a bit about plastic houses before you read it to get the most out of it;I like the way it was organized, though. That was really clear
同义替换：「good」↔「really clear」
答案：very strong construction
原文定位：Well, the earliest one I read about was a plastic house called The House of the Future that was built in nineteen fifty‑seven, though no one actually lived in it. It was on show at a theme park in America for ten years. After that, they demolished it, but they had a hard time. It was really built to last. They couldn't break the plastic up
同义替换：「very strong construction」↔「built to last」，「house of the future」↔「The House of the Future」
答案：never actually built
原文定位：Did you read about the Wonder House;It was designed in nineteen sixty‑four by an industrial designer called Alfred Noyes;It was a really innovative idea for the time, but Noyes only made a small model, and the design wasn't implemented
同义替换：「wasn’t implemented」↔「never actually built」，「wonderhouse」↔「Wonderhouse」
答案：not much room inside
原文定位：What about those spaceship houses they built between nineteen sixty‑eight and nineteen seventy‑eight;Like flying saucers. They built over a hundred of them;I don't know if I'd want to live in one;The living area was quite limited, and they had really low ceilings
同义替换：「living area was quite limited」↔「not much room inside」，「spaceship houses」↔「spaceship houses」
答案：designed to promote technology
原文定位：But the plastic houses I like are the foam houses they built between nineteen seventy‑nine and nineteen eighty‑three;They were partly built to show what computers could do in the home, uh, things like controlling heat and lights and so on. Quite new ideas at the time
同义替换：「show what computers could do」↔「promote technology」，「designed to」↔「built to」，「foam houses」↔「foam houses」
答案：easy to transport
原文定位：a plastic exhibition hall;can all be packed away in a relatively small container;You just put it on a truck and take it to wherever you want it
同义替换：「easy to transport」↔「put it on a truck and take it wherever you want」，「plastic exhibition hall」↔「plastic exhibition hall」
答案：made from recycled materials
原文定位：there's a house in New Zealand that's built from household and industrial waste, like plastic boxes
同义替换：「household and industrial waste」↔「recycled materials」，「New Zealand house」↔「house in New Zealand」
