Question

1．The towers，called the Bosco Verticale，are under construction in Milan．Towering over the city skyline，these are the world'S first forest in the sky apartments．
With trees equal to 10，000 square meters of forest covering 27 floors，the twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees，5，000 bushes and 11，000 ground plants．
Michele Brunello，director of Boeri Studios，explained，"The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project．We imagined the building that allowed the landscape（景观）to enter it．"
Brunello'S concept is designed to save on land，which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city．"We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand．"he said．
Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants，which planners hope will act as a filter（过滤器）to pollution from traffic，shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season．
"People live with the trees but they don't own them-they are communal，"said Brunello．"All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building．So the people aren't just choosing an apartment based on the size and view，but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with．"
Safety is also a major factor．If a tree Was blown down in the wind from a great height，this could be a huge problem．So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones．
When the sky forest is completed by the end of 2012，the structure will house the same amount of people as 50，000 square meters of conventional urban area．What'S more，it will be home to insects，birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan．

A．trees will be planted inside the building
B．the towers are part of the tree planting project
C．the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers
D．the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely
62．What does the underlined word"communal"probably mean？B
A．Expensive．    B．Public．    C．Dangerous．     D．Unaffordable．
63．Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale？D
A．The size of the apartment．
B．The view of the apartment．
