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’ s special about the Dragon Bridge?
选项
A、It is designed by American firms.
B、It is very long.
C、It breathes fire and sprouts water.
D、It is an award-winning bridge.
答案
C
解析
细节题。本题考查的是龙桥的特别之处。可以定位到文中的As far assymbols of a resurgent country--and city—go,there can be few as bullish as a666一meter-long(2,185 feet)dragon—shaped bridge that breathes fare and spouts water,从这里看出这座桥的最主要的特点就是可以喷火和水。所以C项符合文章意思。A、B、D是它的特点却都不是最特殊之处。因此,正确答案是C。
