The Pentagon(五角大楼)
The Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defence in US, is one of the world’s largest office buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. There are very few people throughout the United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. Many have followed news stories emanating from the defence establishment housed in this building. However, relatively few people have had the opportunity to visit.
The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both military and civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defence of the country. These people arrive daily from Washington, D.@C.@and its suburbs over approx imately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in the country. They ride past 200 acres of lawn to park approximately 8,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 131 stairways or ride 19 escalators to reach offices that occupy 3,705 square feet. While in the building, they tell time by 4,200 clocks, drink from 691 water fountains, utilize 284 rest rooms, consume 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks prepared or served by a restaurant staff of 230 persons and distributed in 1 dining room, 2 cafeterias, 6 snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar. The restaurant service is a privately run civilian operation under contract to the Pentagon.
Stripped of its occupants, furniture and various decorations, the building alone in an extraordinary structure. Built during the early years of World War Ⅱ, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. Despite 17.5 miles of corridors it takes only seven minutes to walk between any two points in the building.
选项
A、Most Americans know about it.
B、It is now open to the public.
C、Around 23,000 workers contribute to its planning.
D、It is one of the world’s tallest buildings.
答案
A
解析
文章第一段第一句话只提到它是世界最大的建筑之一,但没提到高度,因此排除选项D;另外,根据第一段的最后一句话可以排除选项B;第二段的第二句话说到2.3万多名工作人员参与国防计划,选项C只是断章取义,可以排除;选项A在第一段的第三句话(There are very few people throughout the United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon.)中得到了验证,是正确答案。
