The Petronas Twin Towers:国油双峰塔又称吉隆坡双子塔，建于 1997 年，共有 88 层，高达 452 公尺，曾是世界上最高的摩天楼。国油双峰塔由两幢大楼组成，两幢楼的第 41 层由 58 公尺长的天桥连接。这座设计新颖的、大量使用了不锈钢与玻璃等建材的双峰塔是吉隆坡的象征。不论你在吉隆
9、坡的哪个角落都可以看到这座十分现代化的建筑物2 Kuala Lumpur:吉隆坡（马来西亚首都）3 The Millau Bridge:米约高架桥。位于法国西南部的米约市，横跨在塔恩河仙境般的河谷之上，是通往法国南部地中海地区 75 号高速公路段上的枢纽工程。建造这座斜拉索式桥梁共话费了 3 年多的时间，总耗资 3.94 亿欧元。这座大桥全长 2.46 公里，总重 29 万吨，大桥距离地面 270 米，大桥斜拉索的最高点距离地面 343 米，高出埃菲尔铁塔 23 米，是当时世界上最高的桥梁。4.

13、第一句的前半句说的是“要选定当世最令人叹为观止的奇迹是一个无法完成的差事”，后半句解释“做不到”的原因在于每年都有新的更令人叹为观止的建筑出现。本题要选的词应该是与描述constructions 极好性状有关的形容词。四个选项中 wonderful 符合这个要求，而 delightful，useful和 careful 均与 constructions 极好性状无关，因此不可能是答案。2. A be worthy of 意为 “值得”。Three giant structures 值得什么值得我们 passion（热情） 、expression（表达）或 detection（发现）这三个选项显
14、然不会是答案。 Admiration（赞叹）才是答案3 C “the tall twin towers”给出了寻找答案的线索tall towers 意为“高楼”，所以 452 米指的是高度。4 B 本段叙述马来西亚吉隆坡的国油双峰塔。四个选项中只有 architect（建筑师）与设计国油双峰塔最相关。其他三个选项 architect 相比，相关性就差多了 .5 D floor 之前搭配的介词是 on.6 D 本段前面的句子描述了国油双峰塔的建筑特色，本句进而介绍塔的其他两个特色，即 double-decker lifts（双层电梯）和 glass and steel sunshades（建材为
15、玻璃和钢的遮阳篷） 。根据上下文判断，features 是答案。7 A at the time（在那时，那时候）是固定搭配，后接从句。8 D 从词组搭配和上下文意思上判断，reaching over 340m at the highest point 是最合适的.reach a height 意为“达到某个高度”，而 develop a height（发展某个高度） ，expand a height（扩展某个高度）和 stretch a height（延伸某个高度）都不合理。9 C congestion 是解题的关键词。建造高架大桥的目的是为了缓解交通拥挤，所以选择 relieve 是理所当然的。10A 本句是说米约高架桥的坚固程度，它能经受住最极端的地震和气候条件而不会倒塌。本题的答案是 most。the most extreme 是形容词 extreme 的最高级形式。11 B 很明确，the River Parana 之后是个非限制性定语从句，连接词只能用 which。what 不能指代the River Parana。that 用于限制性定语从句。Who 不能指代非生命的 the River Parana12. A the Itaipu Dam 由巴西和巴拉圭两国斥资共建，所以答案不可能是 p
