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
