【解析】
试题分析:本文属于说明文,主要介绍建设海上城市解决土地缺乏的问题,同时文章中还详细说明了这一海上城市的具体建设设想。
【1】D 本段主要叙述这一海上城市的建设情况,根据横线后句The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed.可知把海上城市就像港口一样,故D项“The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor.”与本段中心思想一致。
【2】C 根据前句The flats would all face inwards.公寓会面向里面。横线后句The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun.这种玻璃是特别制作的。那么横线句是在说明公寓的原料。故C项“And they would be made of concrete and glass.”符合上下文串联。
【3】E 根据后句On it would be floating islands carrying more buildings在水面以上会漂浮的小岛,岛上有更多的大楼。那就要求水要很平静,不如小岛无法稳定地漂浮,更无法在上面建楼房。故E项“The water inside this man-made harbor would be calm.”符合上下文串联。
【4】F 本段在讲述岛上的生活设施,用水问题是很严重的问题之一。横线前句On one of the islands would be a special plant.这一特别的工厂要把海水净化成淡水供人们使用。故F项符合上下文串联。
【5】G 根据前句People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity.可知岛上的人的出行主要依靠电力驱动的小艇。这样不会带来污染。故G项符合上下文串联。
