24、The architecture firm BIG has designed a concept for a floating city of 10,000 people that could help populations threatened by extreme weather events and rising sea levels.

Called Oceanix City, the concept consists of buoyant(漂浮的)islands clustered together in groups of six to form villages. These clusters would then be repeated in multiples of six to form a 12-hectare village for 1,650 residents, and then again to form a home to 10,000 citizens.Oceanix City is intended to provide a habitable and offshore environment in the event of rising sea levels, which are expected to affect 90 percent of the world’s coastal cities by 2050.

Each of the modules would be built on land and then towed to sea, where they would be anchored in place. The small islands are also designed to survive a category-five hurricane. Arrangements would be flexible so that the cities could be moved if water levels became too low.

BIG intends the buildings to be constructed from locally sourced materials such as wood and fast-growing bamboo, which also offer “warmth and softness” to touch.

Each mini-village will include a community framework for living, including water baths, markets, spiritual and cultural hubs, but BIG intends Oceanix City to be adaptable to “any culture, any architecture”.

Another major benefit of the floating city, according to Oceanix co-founder Marc Collins Chen, is that it is an example of an affordable development, which could offer a solution to displaced societies.

“It is our goal to make sure sustainable floating cities are affordable and available to all coastal areas in need,” said Chen.“They should not become a privilege of the rich.”

Oceanix City is intended to be developed in subtropical and tropical areas that are most at risk of flooding first,but could soon offer a more attractive living environment.

A．Why it is called Oceanix City.

B．How Oceanix City is built.

C．Why Oceanix City is built.

D．Where Oceanix City is built.

【2】What does the underlined word “anchored” most probably mean?

A．Constructed.

B．Abandoned.

C．Fixed.

D．Floated.

【3】What is one of the advantages of the floating city?

A．It won’t be expensive to live in.

B．It will be built for the rich.

C．It will cost nothing to live in.

D．It is very easy to build.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Oceanix City?

A．Critical.

B．Doubtful.

C．Objective.

D．Hopeful.
