24、时态和主谓一致。这里在说一个客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时，且句子主语是“One of the most recognizable buildings in the world”，单数第三人称，故填has。3finally考查副词。此处agreed是动词，由副词修饰，故填finally。4an考查不定冠词。此处表示“一场国际比赛”，用不定冠词，且international是以元音音素开头的词，故填an。5who/that考查定语从句。此处designers是先行词，指人，分析句子，把designers放在后面的定语从句中，作主语，故填who/that。6named考查过去分词作后置定语。句中a
