题目列表(包括答案和解析)

The Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the inner part of China. With a total length of more than 6,300 kilometers, it marches toward the East China Sea, singing the songs of the four seasons with its waves. The Yangtze River, only next to the Amazon and the Nile, is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.

The Three Gorges have showed the magic workings of nature with their beautiful mountains and waters. The peaks and rocks on the two sides are telling us the history of the region in the past billion years. Every year, many visitors around the world are attracted by the charming thousand-year-long history of the region, the great ancient relics of human civilization, and the mysterious folk tales.

Sandwiched between the mountains, the Three Gorges run across Fengjie and Wushan Mountain in Sichuan Province and Badong, Zigui and Yichang in Hubei Province, extending 193 kilometers long to include Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The City of White Emperor in Fengjie is the important passage of the west part of the Three Gorges. Nanjinguan in Yichang is the important gateway of the east part. Along the banks of the Yangtze River, the high peaks, overhanging rocks tower, rise into the clouds, dangerous cliffs seem to reach the sky, waterfalls are spraying and sparkling, clouds and thin fogs are curling, rapids and torrents are boiling.

The Three Gorges Dam(三峡大坝) the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the surface of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Yangtze River, into a tame river, make electricity and power much of eastern and central China with his 18 200 megawatts(兆瓦) electricity. It will create a huge, deep water lake, and make it possible for 10 000 ton ocean going ships to sail 1 500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 15 million people, making it the world’s largest seaport. Construction has already started. The dam will be about 6 860 feet wide and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang.

It is obvious that such a grand project will do a great deal of good. The most important is flood control. By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity. China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air.

However, some scientists don’t agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir(水库) ,which can do harm to people, fish, and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation(沉积) ,the damage of a breach(决口) are problems, too.

The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009,a new eighth wonder of the world as to size alone.

1. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam?
