问题     One answer to the questions of land shortage was suggested by a committee some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30 000 people.
    The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbour. The outer wall of the harbour would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete and glass. The glass would be specially made and coloured to control the heat and strong light from the sun.
    The water inside this man-made harbour would be calm. The planners called this water the lake. On it would be floating islands carrying more buildings; a hospital, two theaters, a museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special plant, to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.
    People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity , so there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.
What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?
选项 A、The city was to be designed together with a harbour.
B、The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.
C、The buildings of the city would rest on a floating island.
D、The people would live in flats made of coloured glass.
答案C
解析 本题为细节辨析题。本文提出，在浅海中通过钢柱支起一个浮岛城市，从而解决土地缺乏问题。A 选项，“该城市将要与一个海港一起设计”，文章中只说到该城市像一个海港。B 选项，“城市周围的墙将由钢铁和玻璃建造的”，这是文中未提及的。D 选项，“人们将居住在由彩色玻璃建成的公寓房里”，文章说公寓房是由混凝土和彩色玻璃建成的，这里表述不完整。
