Question

阅读下面短文，回答问题。

　　Nowadays, a great construction project, the three Gorges project is in progress along the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world．Once completed, it will be the largest and most powerful hydroelectric project in the world．Towering 610 feet high and stretching 1.3 miles wide, the dam will create a reservoir(水库)that extends nearly 400 miles upstream thus changing the landscape of one of the most beautiful regions in China．

　　The project has been under discussion in China since the idea of a dam was first proposed in 1919．The Three Gorges project is both a marvel of Engineering and the greatest challenge its designers have ever faced．The Three Gorges project has been engineered to store over 5 trillion(万亿)gallons of water and to withstand and earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter Scale(里氏震级)．The reservoir will allow 10 000 ton ships to enter its interior, which currently limits access to boats under 1 500 tons．In addition, the government says the dam will control terrifying floods and provide electrical power to China’s growing cities．

　　Like the Great Wall of China, it is one of the man made structures that can be seen from space．The Chinese government and the dam’s engineers think of the project as_________．In early 1999 Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji inspected the dam site．He told the engineers, “The responsibility on your shoulders is heavier than a mountain．Any carelessness or negligence will bring disaster to our future generations．” Sure enough, engineers shoulder heavy responsibilities．We hope in the near future, we’ll see a new wonder they create for China．
