They are being devel
25、oped as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres. After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were
26、employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to t
27、he currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent （月状的） structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea. The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leave
28、s coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days. The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed
29、to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas （小游艇船坞） are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts （桩柱） in the water. The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of
30、 residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists. More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continent
31、s of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts. Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubais status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region. 56According to the passage,
32、 all the following are right EXCEPT_. ASome Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea. BThe islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea CAll the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold. DThe World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeriah57The underlined word “facil
33、itates” in the second paragraph probably means_ Aholds backBmakes easierCslows downDleads to 58What is the passage written for? ATo introduce the wonderful artificial islands. BTo show how to build artificial islands. CTo offer a travel service for tourists. DTo prove the Palm Islands are the larges
34、t artificial islands in the world.BIKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from sel
35、ling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a businessIKEA.IKEAs name comes from Kamprads initials （I.K.） and the place where he grew up （Eand A）. Today IKEA is known for its
36、modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.Kamprads wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.IKEA first began to sell furniture through
37、 a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprads home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product lineFurniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.In 1953 IK
38、EA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before
39、 buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture. In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling（拆卸） a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging
40、 would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations（内涵） of self-suffic
41、iency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansionToday there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the worlds richest man. He currently lives in Switzerl
42、and and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing. 59The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_. Aneeds large space to assembly furnitureBis a business concept inspired by Kamprad Chelps reduce transportation costsDmakes the company self

AIndifferentBOptimisticCDoubtfulDPessimistic62The passage is developed primarily in terms of _ Aorder of eventsBanalysis of a process Cexamples that illustrate（阐释） a problemDcomparison and contrast CHumans may not have landed on Mars （火星） just yet, but that isnt stopping a European compan
