Question

【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
C
Hong Kong, a city of seven million---and growing fast. By the year 2050 Hong Kong’s population will almost double. Where will these people live?
There's only one place to go---up. Fast forward 50 years. This is the tallest man-made structure on the planet. Its name: Millennium Tower. It would stand twice as tall as anything built before. Over 60 thousand people would live or work here. Millennium's designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion.
It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce. David Nelson, one of Millennium's key designers, said: “It would be a massive project and a world project. But to actually realize it resources would have to come from all over the globe. The challenge and the motivation for doing it would be to realize one of the world's largest and most complex construction projects.”
Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built. So its builders won't know for sure the building is safe until it's up, and they can't afford to make an error. Massive earthquakes have brought down entire cities in this part of the world. Can Millennium's designers make it immune to these quakes of the earth?
For Millennium, like all the other buildings, safety is just one concern among many. It will need to be a home, one that welcomes people in. Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful, but how to do it? For the design team, the secret was to bring all the elements of city life within. Cafes and restaurants, theatres and stores would provide entertainment. Health clubs, even schools and medical clinics would also serve the towers’ residents.
Millennium's designers have proven something. Things that seem impossible today, might just become reality tomorrow. The engineering problems have, for the most part, already been solved. Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations.
（1）Why did the designers decide to build Millennium?
A.Because they wanted to build the world's most complex building.
B.Because Hong Kong's population will greatly increase.
C.Because Hong Kong is developing fast as an international city.
D.Because it can bring huge profit after it is put to use.
（2）What is TRUE about the project?
A.It will be completed in the year 2050.
B.It can accommodate all the residents in Hong Kong.
C.It is designed by designers from all over the globe.
D.It has to be strong enough to stand earthquakes.
（3）The success of Millennium mainly relies on_______.
A.how many resources will be used
B.how many nations will work together
C.whether people can enjoy their life in it
D.whether it is safe for people to live in
（4）How does the writer develop this passage?

B.By using figures.
C.By giving examples.
D.By analyzing causes..

【解析】為了滿足香港人口的增長，MillenniumTower是香港的一個(gè)新建筑。本文對(duì)它進(jìn)行了描述。
（1）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句 Millennium's designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion.可只是因?yàn)橄愀廴丝诘脑鲩L。故選B。
（2）D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后兩句 Massive earthquakes have brought down entire cities in this part of the world. Can Millennium's designers make it immune to these quakes of the earth?可知 Millennium 要足夠的強(qiáng)大 而能抗地震。故選D。
（3）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句 Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful，人們住在里面享受生活才能說 Millennium 是成功的。故選C。
（4）A推理判斷題�？v觀全文，根據(jù)每段開頭第一句，There's only one place to go---up．只有一個(gè)地方可以去; It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce．它將花費(fèi)一百億美元，消耗更多的建筑材料; Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built. Millennium將比以往任何時(shí)候的建造都更復(fù)雜。For Millennium, like all the other buildings, safety is just one concern among many．像所有其他的建筑物，安全是其中的一個(gè)關(guān)心。再根據(jù)最后一段The engineering problems have, for the most part, already been solved. Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations．工程出現(xiàn)的問題已經(jīng)被解決。我們的成就只是被我們的想象所限制。可知作者是通過提供描述來進(jìn)行文章的敘述。故選A。
