14、e weather, which sometimes seals London with a gray ceiling for weeks on end. Or maybe it is Britons penchant for understatement, their romantic association with the countryside or their love of gardens. Whatever the reason, while other cities grew upward as they developed, London spread outward, ke
15、eping its vast parks, its rows of townhouses and its horizon lines intact.But as the citys population and its prominence as a global business capital continue to grow, it sometimes seems ready to burst at the seams. In response, developers are turning to a type of building that used to be deeply unf
16、ashionable here, even as it flourished in other capitals of commerce: the skyscraper.In recent years, a cluster of sizable office towers have sprouted on the periphery of London, in its redeveloped Docklands at Canary wharf. But skyscrapers now are pushing into the heart of the City, Londons central
17、 financial district, and surrounding areas along the Thames.The mayor, Ken Livingstone, champions tall buildings as part of his controversial plans to remake central London as a denser, more urban sort of place, with greater reliance on public transport. First he angered some drivers by charging the
18、m a toll to enter the city center on workdays, now he finds himself opposed by preservation groups, including English Heritage, that want to keep Londons character as a low-rise city.For now, the mayor seems to be getting his way. One prominent tower, a 40-story building designed by Norman Foster fo
19、r the Swiss Re insurance company was completed this year. A handful of others have received planning permission and at least a dozen more have been proposed.By far the most prominent of these buildingsand one that finally looks like it will go ahead after a drawn-out approval processis the London Br
20、idge Tower, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. The developer Irvine Sellar won government approval for the building late last year and says he is completing the financing and hopes to start work by early 2005.The 306-meter, or 1,016-foot, tower would be by far the tallest building in Bri
21、tain, in all of Europe, in fact, surpassing the 264-meter Triumph Palace in Moscow, a residential building that was finished late last year.To be sure, even the London Bridge Tower would be modest by the standards of American or Asian skyscrapers, or some of the behemoths on the drawing boards for p
22、laces like Dubai and Shanghai. The tallest building in the world at the moment is the 509-meter Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. But it will surely be surpassed soon amid a boom in construction that persists.In a city that has been reluctant t
23、o reach for the sky, perhaps it is appropriate that Piano is the architect for what probably will he Londons tallest building. He is ambivalent about skyscrapers, too, and has designed only a handful alongside such projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris, with Richard Rogers, and parts of the recon
24、structed Potsdamer Platz In Berlin.English Heritage has been far less enthusiastic, arguing that the building would obstruct views of a high-rise from a much earlier era, Christopher Wrens St. Pattis Cathedral. To overcome opposition, the building was designed with a mixed-use function. Much of the
25、bottom half of the building will house offices, but above that there will be a “public piazza“ with restaurants, exhibition spaces and other entertainment areas. Further above, the loftier, narrower floors will be taken up by a hotel and apartments. On the 65th floor there will be a viewing gallery.
26、 The upper 60 meters, exposed to the elements, will house an energy-saving cooling system in which pipes will be used to pump excess heat up from the offices below and dissipate it into the winds. “We knew we had no chance of getting it approved unless we had a high-quality design from a top interna
27、tional name,“ Sellar said.The emphasis on quality is a reflection not only of an aversion to skyscrapers, but also of a desire not to repeat mistakes. London had one previous fling with tallor semi-tallbuildings, in the 1960s and 70s, but their blocky, concrete shapes did little to impress.（分数：6.00）

When the curtain was raised, the stage was perfectly empty save for tall grey curtains which enclosed it on all sides,
34、and presently through the thick folds of those curtains children came dancing in, singly, or in pairs, till a whole troop of ten or twelve were assembled. They were all girls; none, I think more than fourteen years old, one or two certainly not more than eight. They wore but little clothing, their l
35、egs, feet and arms being quite bare. Their hair, too, was unbound; and their faces, grave and smiling, were so utterly dear and joyful, that in looking on them one felt transported to some Garden of Hesperides, a where self was not, and the spirit floated in pure ether. Some of these children were f
36、air and rounded, others dark and elf-like; but one and all looked entirely happy, and quite unself-conscious, giving no impression of artifice, though they had evidently had the highest and most careful training. Each flight and whirling movement seemed conceived there and then out of the joy of bei
37、ngdancing had surely never been a labour to them, either in rehearsal or performance. There was no tiptoeing and posturing, no hopeless muscular achievement; all was rhythm, music, light, air, and above all things, happiness. Smiles and love had gone to the fashioning of their performance; and smile
38、s and love shone from every one of their faces and from the clever white turnings of their limbs.Amongst themthough all were delightfulthere were two who especially riveted my attention. The first of these two was the tallest of all the children, a dark thin girl, in whose every expression and movem
39、ent there was a kind of grave, fiery love.During one of the many dances, it fell to her to be the pursuer of a fair child, whose movements had a very strange soft charm; and this chase, which was like the hovering of a dragonfly round some water lily, or the wooing of a moonbeam by the June night, h
40、ad in it a most magical sweet passion. That dark, tender huntress, so full of fire and yearning, had the queerest power of symbolising all longing, and moving ones heart In her, pursuing her white love with such wistful fervour, and ever arrested at the very moment of conquest, one seemed to see the
41、 great secret force that hunts through the world, on and on, tragically unresting, immortally sweet.The other child who particularly enhanced me was the smallest but one, a brown-haired fairy crowned with a haft moon of white flowers, who wore a scanty little rose-petal-coloured shift that floated a
42、bout her in the most delightful fashion. She danced as never child danced. Every inch of her small bead and body was full of the sacred fire of motion; and in her little pas seul she seemed to be the very spirit of movement. One felt that Joy had flown down, and was inhabiting there; one heard the r
43、ippling of Joys laughter. And, indeed, through all the theatre had risen a rustling and whispering; and sudden bursts of laughing rapture.I looked at my friend; he was trying stealthily to remove something from his eyes with a finger. And to myself the stage seemed very misty, and all things in the
44、world lovable; as though that dancing fairy had touched them with tender fire, and made them golden.God knows where she got that power of bringing joy to our dry hearts: God knows how long she will keep it! But that little flying Love had in her the quality that lie deep in colour, in music, in the
45、wind, and the sun, and in certain great works of artthe power to see the heart free from every barrier, and flood it with delight.（分数：5.00）(1).From this passage, it can be inferred thatA. the dancing girls are an very beautiful.B. the girls come from all over the world.C. the two tallest girls are t
