6．Hong Kong，a city of seven million---and growing fast．By the year 2050Hong Kong's population will almost double．Where will these people live？
There's only one place to go---up．Fast forward 50years．This is the tallest man-made structure on the planet．Its name：Millennium Tower．It would stand twice as tall as anything built before．Over 60thousand people would live or work here．Millennium's designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion．
It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce．David Nelson，one of Millennium's key designers，said："It would be a massive project and a world project．But to actually realize it．resources would have to come from all over the globe．The challenge and the motivation for doing it would be to realize one of the world's largest and most complex construction projects．"
Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built．So its builders won't know for sure the building is safe until it's up，and they can't afford to make an error．Massive earthquakes have brought down entire cities in this part of the world．Can Millennium's designers make it immune to these quakes of the earth？
For Millennium，like all the other buildings，safety is just one concern among many．It will need to be a home，one that welcomes people in．Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful，but how to do it？For the design team，the secret was to bring all the elements of city life within．Cafes and restaurants．theatres and stores would provide entertainment．Health clubs，even schools and medical clinics would also serve the towers'residents．
Millennium's designers have proven something．Things that seem impossible today，might just become reality tomorrow．The engineering problems have，for the most part，already been solved．Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations．
64．Why did the designers decide to build Millennium？B
A．Because they wanted to build the world's most complex building．
B．Because Hong Kong's population will greatly increase．
C．Because Hong Kong is developing fast as an international city．
D．Because it can bring huge profit after it is put to use．
65．What is TRUE about the project？D
A．It will be completed in the year 2050．
B．It can accommodate all the residents in Hong Kong．
C．It is designed by designers from all over the globe．
D．It has to be strong enough to stand earthquakes．
66．The success of Millennium mainly relies onC．
A．how many resources will be used
B．how many nations will work together
C．whether people can enjoy their life in it
D．whether it is safe for people to live in
67．How does the writer develop this passage？A
A．By providing descriptions．
B．By using figures．
C．By giving examples．
D．By analyzing causes．

分析为了满足香港人口的增长，设计师决定建千年塔，本文对此楼的一些抗震性、建筑结构等进行了想象．

解答 64-67 BDCA
64 B 细节理解题．根据第一段第二句By the year 2050 Hong Kong's population will almost double．及第二段最后一句Millennium's designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion．可知，是因为香港人口的增长而让设计师决定设计这栋楼．故选B．
65．D 推理判断题．根据第四段最后两句Massive earthquakes have brought down entire cities in this part of the world．Can Millennium's designers make it immune to these quakes of the earth？可知，Millennium要足够强大，能抗地震．故选D．
66．C 细节理解题．根据倒数第二段第三句Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful．可知，人们住在里面享受生活才能说Millennium是成功的．故选C．
67．A 推理判断题．纵观全文，根据每段开头第一句There's only one place to go---up．只有一个地方可以去；It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce．它将花费一百亿美元，消耗更多的建筑材料；Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built．Millennium将比以往任何时候的建造都更复杂．For Millennium，like all the other buildings，safety is just one concern among many．像所有其他的建筑物，安全是其中的一个关心．再根据最后一段The engineering problems have，for the most part，already been solved．Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations．工程出现的问题已经被解决．我们的成就只是被我们的想象所限制．可知作者是通过提供描述来进行文章的叙述．故选A．

点评阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．

10．It was the Year from Hell─the dog died，my marriage of 24years ended，and my house burned down．I had moved into a new rented house with my youngest son after my husband and I divorced．We'd been in the house just six weeks．I went to a dinner party one night，and as I drove home near，I saw smoke rising into the sky．I wondered whether it was my house．Then I turned the corner，and sure enough，it was my house．
My son and I stayed with a friend for a couple of nights．Then my friend Gail heard about the fire，called me up，and said，"Come and move into my house．I have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms─plenty of space for you and your son．"Gail had three kids at home，but there was still plenty of room for me and my son，Sutton．Little did I know that her offer of a temporary place to stay would turn into a living arrangement that lasted two and a half years．
We were two single mothers．Gail and I spent the next couple of years sorting out a lot of things together．After we moved in，I soon began to look for a permanent place to live in．Gail said，"Please don't leave．I've never had so much freedom!"Having me in the house meant someone to help take care of her kids，someone to share cooking and gardening，and someone to share day-to-day life．She loved having me there，and I loved being there．So we stayed．
It was an important chapter in my life．We both needed time to heal from our divorces．It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us．Gail's generosity was more than anyone could expect from a friend．I am eternally grateful to have a friend like Gail．I'm also grateful for the lessons I learned from the fire and the other losses that came so suddenly，so fast．Much to my surprise，I found gratitude among the ashes．I was tested serious trial by fire．But，like a phoenix，I rose from the ashes strong and whole．I would not be the person I am today if not for that Year from Hell．
