【C9】
选项 A、boundary
B、goal
C、limits
D、restraint
答案C
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。空格前讲的是对建筑物的规定，之后是height(高度)，那么limits自然就是最好的选择。limit意为“限制，界限，范围”，主要指在数量、程度或时间上确定的最大值，人或事物不可能或不可以超越它，否则就会受罚或引起令人不快的后果，如：There is a limit to everything．凡事都有限度。此处为建筑物的“高度极限”。boundary“边界，分界线”，主要指领土的边界或限制线，如：A stone wall marked the boundary between the two farms．石墙是两个农场的分界线。goal表“目标，目的”，如：I wish I could achieve my goal of writing20 novels．我希望能达到创作20部小说的目标。restraint意为“抑制，遏制”，指约束控制感情、自由等，如：As a king，he was under no restraint whatever．作为国王，他不受任何束缚。由此可见，这三个选项均不合题意。
