As far as symbols of a resurgent country—and city—go, there can be few as bullish as a 666-meter-long(2,185 feet)dragon-shaped bridge that breathes fire and spouts water. Opened last year in Vietnam’ s central coast city of Da Nang, the Rong Cao(Dragon Bridge)is an award-winning, U.S.-designed marvel of engineering that’s become a favorite of residents and visitors, and an icon of the prosperous future this once sleepy town has its eye set on.
Each weekend, after sunset, residents and visitors are treated to a spectacular show that adds flair to what could have easily been a routine civil engineering project.
The road is closed just before 9 p.m., with crowds thronging the six-lane bridge. An expectant hush descends, and then, with a roar, the dragon’ s head spits fearsome plumes of fire, followed by hissing clouds of water vapor.
The Da Nang Department of Sports, Culture and Tourism expects the bridge to draw 3 million visitors to the city this year. As one of the country’ s rising economic success stories, Da Nang is spending big on infrastructure to bring in tourism dollars.
It’ s positioning itself as a MICE(meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions)hub and as the gateway to the historically rich and scenic central coast region, which includes the tourist town of Hoi An to the south. As the city has developed, its interconnectedness has improved and the two banks of the Han are increasingly linked by a network of bridges.
All are impressive structures, but none match the Dragon Bridge’ s inventiveness. "The Dragon Bridge has been the crowning achievement in the city’s bridge program," Nick Ivanoff, president of Ammann & Whitney, one of the key companies involved in the bridge’ s creation, said, "City officials have said it will likely become the new symbol of Da Nang. We believe the Dragon Bridge can be a symbol for Da Nang’ s growth and development as an important transportation, educational and cultural center in central Vietnam."
In addition to the weekend shows of fire breathing, which take place at 9 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, the bridge is illuminated each night with thousands of LED lights, giving dynamic, dazzling views that reflect off the surface of the river.
The bridge was inaugurated on March 29, 2013, to commemorate the country’ s rich history—both anciently and recently. The date was chosen to mark the 38th anniversary of the liberation of the city, and the end of the Vietnam War.
Its creators, the firms Louis Berger and Ammann & Whitney, were recipients of the 2014 American Council of Engineering Companies(ACEC)National Engineering Excellence Award. [br] What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?
选项
A、Da Nang is in the historically rich and scenic central coast region.
B、Da Nang is a famous tourist city.
C、Interconnectedness has improved development of the two banks of the Han.
D、Bridges play an import role in connecting the two banks of the Han.
答案
D
解析
推断题。A项讲大南市是历史悠久,景色优美的沿海地区,是文章第五段对与大南市连接的地区的描写,所以无法从第五段推断出。B项讲大南市是闻名的旅游城市,是第五段中which includes the tourist town of Hoi An to the south的内容。不是大南市,所以也无法推断出。C项讲互联性促进了汉江两岸的发展.与文中Asthe city has developed.its interconnectedness has improved and the two banks of theHan are increasingly linked by a network of bridges意思有出入,原文意思是随着城市的发展,它的互联性得到了改善,而且汉江两岸也被桥梁网连接起来。D项讲桥梁在连接汉江两岸起到了重要作用.可以从two banks of the Han are increasinglylinked by a network of bridges这句推断出。因此,正确答案是D。
