nullnull 备战2026高考主题测试题——文化遗产保护 一、阅读理解 A An international design competition was held in 1955 for an art center to be built.There were 233 entries received from many countries.The Danish architect JØrn Utzon won the competition with his unique design of shells that looked like sails on a boat. The construction began on March 2,1959 and was expected to be accomplished within 4 years.However,they quickly ran into trouble.The ground was not suitable to hold the weight of the building and huge concrete foundations(混凝土地基)had to be built.Mr Utzon had also made mistakes about how many columns(柱)would be needed to support the roof,thus making the concrete shells face the risk of falling down. Mr Utzon came up with a new way to disperse the weight of the concrete by making each shell out of a part of a perfect globe.The 14 shells look like a single piece of concrete,but they are actually built across frames(框架)of concrete to hold them in place.They weigh as much as 15 tons each.The highest roof point of the building is 67 metres above sea level—the same as a 22-storey high building. This major correction saved the project but added one decade to the building time.The building consists mainly of two main halls,a number of smaller theaters,performance halls and other additional facilities.Both main halls are housed in relatively large sail-shaped structures,and the smaller performance halls are housed at the ground floor.In particular,the grand organ(风琴)in the concert hall is one of the world's largest organs containing over 10,000 pipes. The Sydney Opera House is a great success in the history of architecture.It is not only a world-famous performing arts center and the landmark of Sydney,but also recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of the 20th century.In 2007,the Sydney Opera House was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. 1.What was the difficulty when building the Sydney Opera House?
