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] We can learn from the passage that city Da Nang_____.
选项
A、is a coastal city
B、is the capital of Vietnam
C、is an important economic, educational and cultural center in central Vietnam
D、is the richest city in Vietnam
答案
A
解析
细节题。本文考查的是对大南市的了解。A项讲它是一个沿海城市.可以从文中Opened last year in Vietnam’s central coast city of Da Nang可以看出大南市是一个沿海城市。C项“is an important economic.educational and cultural center incentral Vietnam”讲它是越南中部重要的经济,教育和文化中心,这与文中的Webelieve the Dragon Bridge can be a symbol for Da Nang’s growth and development asan important transportation,educational and cultural center in central Vietnam.”的意思有出入,不是经济中心,而是交通中心。B项讲它是越南的首都与实际情况不符。而且文章也没提及。D项讲它是越南最富有的城市,文中也没有提到。因此。正确答案是A。
