.阅读理解
Did you ever want to see Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey in 15 minutes? Then BA London Eye, is the one for you.
British Airways London Eye, formerly called as the Millennium Wheel, is situated on the south bank of the River Thames on the Jubilee Gardens. It is situated between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Footbridge in Lambeth and adjacent to (比邻) Old Country Building. It stands opposite to Houses of Parliament.
It started with a vision of Architect couple David Marks and Julia Barfields, who had competed for millennium ideas contest conducted by Sundy Times, a British newspaper in 1993 to welcome year 2000 splendidly. Regrettably, the contest was scrapped, but the couple persisted with their dream project by forming a company for this undertaking, eventually grabbing the attention of Evening Standard, another British newspaper. British Airways, after noticing this widely publicized article, agreed to fund, foreseeing the vital contribution of this project to London's skyline and its tourism, giving a spectacular view of this fascinating city that was otherwise not visible to the Londoners.
The entire construction resembles a giant cycle wheel, with a diameter of 135m(443 ft) and weighing 1,700 tons of steel and 2,000 tons at the foundation reaching almost 30m deep! It is the largest observation wheel built so far, making even Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, look up to it. It is the 4th highest structure in London. Canary Wharf Towers, BT Tower and Tower 42 are the higher three.
The whole structure was designed in parts in various countries, later fully assembled on Thames bank. With the dedication of 1,700 workers, this structure was realized in 16 months, just in time to welcome the millennium. Tony Blair inaugurated (为……举行开幕式) it on December 31st, 1999 and a minor safety concern regarding clutching delayed its opening to public, which finally happened 3 months behind the schedule in March 2000.
1．Opposite British Airways London Eye is ________.
A．Westminster Bridge
B．Hungerford Footbridge
C．Old Country Building

答案：D 细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知，“伦敦眼”的对面是英国国会大厦。
2．British Airways London Eye was founded by ________.
A．David Marks and Julia Barfields
B．Sunday Times
C．Evening Standard
D．British Airways
答案：D 细节理解题。从文章第三段最后一句中“British Airways...agreed to fund”可知，英国航空公司最终出资建造了“伦敦眼”。
3．British Airways London Eye is higher than ________.
A．Big Ben
B．Canary Wharf Towers
C．BT Tower
D．Tower 42
答案：A 细节理解题。从文章第四段可知，自由女神像，伦敦的大本钟以及圣保罗大教堂都没有“伦敦眼”高。后一句又提到“伦敦眼”是第四高建筑，B、C、D三项都比它高。故选A。
4．We can learn from the third paragraph that David Marks and Julia Barfields ________.
A．had wanted to complete their dream project on their own
B．won the first prize in millennium ideas contest
C．asked for another newspaper for help
D．would have given up their idea without British Airways
答案：A 推理判断题。从文章第三段可知，比赛被取消，但David Marks和Julia Barfields成立了自己的公司，想靠自己的力量实现他们的梦想，建造“伦敦眼”，因此选A。C项未提到，D项是一种推测，不符合文意。
5．Why was the public opening of British Airways London Eye delayed?
A．The structure wasn't completed in time.

C．Something wrong happened at the last moment.
D．People were not completely sure about its safety.
