[問題]PP-test(1)Q93 (listening)

[hsinherng]

W: Didn’t you write a paper about Albert Kahn last semester?
M: Yes, for my history of architecture class.
W: Well, I am taking it now and I’ve got to do some research on industrial architecture. I need to read up on Kahn’s factories. So I’d like to see what you wrote about them.
M: I don’t think my paper will help: I focused on his classical designs like the Clements library and the office buildings; while you’re interested in the modernest building he is famous for.
W: Yes, he is best known for his factory, especially the auto plants in Detroit. He made a breakthrough in industrial design. You know before his time, factories were so cramped and inefficient but his factory provided enough light and air and open spaces, so the cars could be assembled in one huge plant.
M: I remember reading that factories used to have wooden frames and the heavy machinery made the building vibrate and there were fire-hazards too. But when Kahn started designing auto plants around the turn of the century, reinforced concrete has just been invented - talk about breakthroughs. Not only was the building sturdy and fireproof but they were cheap to put up too!
W: You seem to know a lot about his industrial career.
M: Actually even though I wrote about his other work, I did a lot of background reading. Let me see if I can dig up that paper for you. There were some books or articles including my bibliography that you might want to look up at the library

95.To what industry did Albert Kahn make a major contribution?
答案是 transportion ,請問是根據那一個部份?
另外文中fire-hazard 是什麼意思? 今天聽的89和93這兩篇中錯誤的單字還真不少,錯誤的單字誤導了正確的文意,請大家多多指導一下 謝謝

初次來到貴寶地 請大家多多指教

關於答案為何是最後一個

我看了 script 後才發現 文中有提到 "He is best known for his factory, especially the auto plants in Detroit."
~~~

這個 auto 應該就是 automobile 的縮寫 所以答案是 transportation

要很仔細聽才會選到對的答案 ETS 真的蠻機車的 ...
