When Hong Kong's Tsing Ma Bridge was opened in April 1997, it was included in the Guinness Book of Records. It has the longest single span for a road and rail bridge in the world.
The Tsing Ma Bridge is a suspension bridge which hangs in the air. It connects Lantau Island to the rest of Hong Kong for the first time. In the past, it was necessary to catch a ferry to Lantau Island.Nowadays, commuters are driving between these two places using the Lantau Link.
The Lantau Link cost RMB 13.7 billion to build.It consists of the Tsing Ma Bridge, the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Ma Wan viaduct. At 3.5 km long, the Lantau Link is perhaps the most important part of the 34 km road arid and rail network that connects Hong Kong Island to the new RMB 70 billion international airport at Chek Lap Kok.
The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, which in Japan joins the Japanese islands of Awayi and Honshu, carries both road and rail traffic.It is longer than the Tsing Ma Bridge at 1, 991 m. The Tsing Ma Bridge is only 1, 377 m long, but it has a main span longer than the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
Work on the Tsing Ma Bridge began in 1992, and finished in 1997. The two main towers of the bridge are 206 m tall. The Tsing Ma Bridge has two three lane roads for road vehicles on its upper level, and two railway tracks for trains on its lower level. In addition, there are two single lane roads on the lower part of the bridge. These roads are used when there are strong winds or in emergencies.
The Tsing Ma Bridge is one of Hong Kong's newest and most striking land-marks, and it has become one of Hong Kong's most popular weekend attractions.

解析:
(1) D 注意短文第一段最后一句,说明Tsing Ma 大桥是世界上跨度最长的铁路大桥,故选答案D. (2) C 由短文第三段可知,the Lantau link耗费人民币13.7 billion,应选C. (3) B 日本的Akashi-Kaikyo大桥虽然总长度比Tsing Ms 大桥长,但Tsing Ma 大桥的横跨度则比日本的那座桥长,即Abaski-Kaikyo大桥跨度短于Tsing Ma 大桥. (4) D Tsing Ma大桥由两层构成,上层为公路桥,下层为铁路桥,根据短文第五段可作出准确的判断,答案为D. (5) A 大桥下层的铁路桥,两边各设一个机动车行车道,以备紧急情况时使用.显然天气恶劣时,亦属紧急情况,但只可以从铁路两边过,不可走在铁轨上,所以A为正确答案,如果选D,则为理解错误. |
