They are being developed as tourist, leisure, an

7、d residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres. After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001.

Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal moveme

9、nts of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent(月状的)structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea. The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 fronds, or leaves, coming off the trunk. The

10、first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days. The second palm Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre

11、. Six marinas(小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and home built on stilts(桩柱) in the water.

12、nas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists. More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be us

13、ed for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts. Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world.

18、some of his biggest hits.He believes that E.T.is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parents 1966 divorce, “It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life.”“He was scared of just about everything,” recalls his mother, Leah Adler.“When trees brushed aga

27、 is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money

28、as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business 一 IKEA. Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture1, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprads wares included anything that he could sell

29、 for profits at discounted prices2, including watches, pens and stockings. IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprads home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line

30、. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951. In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early 1950s, people ordered from cata

31、logues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture. In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to

32、make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging3. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over t

33、ime, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion. Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has manage

34、d to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the worlds richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retied from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing. （分数：15.00）(1).Kamprad established IKEA with （分数：3.00）A.his personal savings.B.his

35、fathers reward for his school performance.C.large profits from selling things.D.His schools support(2).The author states in Paragraph 5 that flat packaging （分数：3.00）A.need fathers reward for his school performance.B.is a business concept inspired by Kamprad.C.help reduce transportation costs.D.make

37、t.(4).What is the authors attitude towards IKEAs future according to the last paragraph? （分数：3.00）A.Indifferent.B.Doubtful.C.Optimistic.D.Pessimistic.(5).The passage is developed primarily in terms of （分数：3.00）A.analysis of a processB.Examples that illustrate a problem.C.Comparison and contrast.D.Se
