    completed in 1999.

    ________(65)amazing wonder of engineering.

    _________(62)
    A:what
    B:who
    C:that
    D:which

    答案：D
    解析：
    由前文的“the most ama2ing wonderg"及空前的“more”可推知答案。
    空前说这些巨大的建筑结构值得赞美，空后又说它们可能被更新的建筑奇观超越，前 后语意有转折，故选B。surpas。意为“超越”。
    with在这里表示伴随状况，指吉隆坡石油双塔有452米高。由后文的dominate（俯临） 可推知此处是说该建筑的高度，而不是指它建在高达452米的高地上，所以不能选D。选项 A、C放在这里则完全讲不通；很容易排除。
    由后文的by a bridge和上下文可知此处是说这两座塔由一座桥连接起来。故选D。
    由后文的office space可知此处是说吉隆坡石油双塔提供了很多办公空间。
    由后文的“double-decker lifts（双层电梯）,and glass and steel sunshades（遮阳篷）”可知 这里是说这个建筑的特色。feature意为“特点，特色”。
    这里是说米洛大桥修建的时候，它是世界上最高的桥。故选C。
    reach表示“达到”，故B项符合语境。
    这里表示缓解米洛的交通堵塞问题。relieve意为“缓解”，符合语境。
    本文介绍的是世界上的建筑奇观，所以选most比较合适。
    consist of意为“构成”，是固定搭配。这里指伊泰普大坝由一系列坝构成。
    此处是一个定语从句，先行词是It（指伊泰普大坝），所以选which。
    前文说伊泰普大坝形成了巴西和巴拉圭的自然边界，所以这里应该是说伊泰普大坝是 两国间的联合项目。
    由上文中的“The dam is well-known for both its electricity output...”可推知答案，且根据 常识，大坝通常是防洪发电的，所以选B。
    前文从发电量、大小、使用钢铁量等方面介绍了伊泰普大坝的不同寻常，后面是amazingwonder之类的溢美之词，所以选D比较合适。

    C

    D

    正确答案： E
    解析：
    Suppose the length of a side of the original square is 10; then the area of that square is 10×10 or 100. Since one pair of opposite sides of the square are increased in length by 20%, and 20% of 10 is 2, the length of that pair of opposite sides of the new rectangle is 10+2 or 12. Since the other pair of sides are increased in length by 50%, and 50% of 10 is 5, the length of the other pair of opposite sides of the new rectangle is 10+5 or 15. The area of the new rectangle formed is 12×15 or 180, which is 80% greater than 100, the area of the original square.
