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 firm’ 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) wails" 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’ foot prints, one for families of victims, the other for the public. [br] According to the passage, the most decisive factor in the competition lies in ______.
选项
A、how to treat the street level and underground
B、how to design the links between the high-rises
C、how to create sites for a memorial
D、how to build parks and facilities
答案
A
解析
细节题。段落首尾句非常重要,其小含有转折词、特殊标点符号、比较句型的句子更应引起重视,而文章中的最后一段第1句包含了所有这些特征:But more critical...is how the various schemes treat the street level and underground,正是这句话告诉我们,本题答案为A。
