Jan. 6 issue--The weather outside was icy, but inside, 250 journalists were gathered in a Manhattan office complex to see the latest schemes for rebuilding the World Trade Center site. Last week was the first hope that something good for the city could emerge from September 11.
A year ago New York Governor George Pataki established the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to be responsible for the rebuilding. The agency has bungled the effort more than once. Last summer the public gave its first set of plans a Bronx cheer (嘘声), urging the LMDC to hold an international competition for new designs. From more than 400 applicants, it chose six teams of designers (a seventh firm, LMDC consultants Peterson/Littenberg, was added later).
The most futuristic aspects of the schemes are in the skyline--several call for the tallest buildings in the world. British architect Norman Foster says his finn’s two towers "kiss and touch and become one"; Team United offers a cluster of towers that lean into each other; the team of Richard Meier, Peter Eisenman, Charles Gwathmey and Steven Holl proposes five high- rises, joined by horizontal connectors. All these links were inspired by the need to give multiple exit options.
But more critical--and more likely to become reality than any of these specific towers--is how the various schemes treat the street level and underground. Most, by putting rentable office space up high, were generous with parks and cultural facilities. The teams were told to create sites for a memorial--and several couldn’t resist designing one. Libeskind was struck by the "great slurry (泥浆) walls" 70 feet down that survived the attack, a dike (堤防) against landfill and an engineering miracle of its time--and he leaves them as a memorial, adding a waterfall and a museum. Foster suggests two memorials in the areas of the Twin Towers’ footprints, one for families of victims, the other for the public. [br] The international competition for new designs of World Trade Center ______.
选项
A、satisfied the public with the LMDC efforts and won itself a cheer
B、has failed to attract any first-class designers so far
C、was extremely fierce among designers around the globe
D、brought great hope that the city could emerge from September 11
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据international competition查找到第2段第3句,Bronx cheer为“嘘声”,不是真正的cheer,A错得较明显;B中的fail错;C中的fierce“激烈的”体现在最后一句400多竞争者取6个,为本题答案。D中的great hope夸大其词。
