故选C3题详解】细节理解题根据最后一段前两句“Located on Spain’s Costa Daurada, this park is divided into six themed areas. Five areas represent different locations including Polynesia, Mexico, Far West, China and Mediterrania.(该公园位于西班牙的达乌拉达海岸,分为六个主题区五个区域代表不同的位置,包括波利尼西亚、墨西哥、遥远的西部、中国和地中海)”可知, Costa Daurada中有代表中国的区域BGregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day, but not for the reason that most people would think. He isn’t homeless. In fact he is trying to help the homeless.Gregory began his life as a sculptor. But he often felt that his sculpture (雕塑) which just stood in rich people’s houses for years, lacked a meaningful purpose. So in 2015 he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn’t come to him until the year 2017, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布). Instead of a tarp, Gregory offered them something better: a small home with a water tank, a kitchen and a tap for waste. They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city. And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started. Before starting a new home, Gregory goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins. Everything he finds is usable—refrigerator doors become house doors; washing machine doors often serve as windows, and the tops of cars become strong roofs. He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily. Each home takes two to three days to make. So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city’s most needy. While his small low- cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness, they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in. They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those。
