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?

A．By providing descriptions. B．By using figures.

C．By giving examples. D．By analyzing causes.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析：为了满足香港人口的增长，设计师决定建千年塔，本文对此楼的一些抗震性、建筑结构等进行了想象。

【1】B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句By the year 2050 Hong Kong’s population will almost double.及第二段最后一句Millennium’s designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion.可知，是因为香港人口的增长而让设计师决定设计这栋楼。故选B。

【2】D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句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要足够强大，能抗地震。故选D。

【3】C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第三句Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful.可知，人们住在里面享受生活才能说Millennium是成功的。故选C。

【4】A 推理判断题。纵观全文，根据每段开头第一句There’s only one place to go---up．只有一个地方可以去；It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce．它将花费一百亿美元，消耗更多的建筑材料；Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built．Millennium将比以往任何时候的建造都更复杂。For Millennium，like all the other buildings, safety is just one concern among many．像所有其他的建筑物，安全是其中的一个关心。再根据最后一段The engineering problems have，for the most part，already been solved．Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations．工程出现的问题已经被解决。我们的成就只是被我们的想象所限制。可知作者是通过提供描述来进行文章的叙述。故选A。

Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination．“Should I choose a good major and a good university ？”Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested．It will also make it possibly for them to take their favorite jobs in the future．However，those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one’s development．They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs．In my opinion ，a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university．But if we couldn’t obtain both，the first thing to consider is a good major，because no matter where we study，they can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best．
