第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题; 每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The Panama Canal opened almost 100 years ago. More than one million ships have passed through waterway since 1914. It connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and reduces travel by about 13,000 kilometers and avoids the need for ships to sail around Cape Horn at the bottom of South America.

Built from 1904 to 1914, the canal has seen annual traffic rise from about 1,000 ships early on to 14,702 ships in 2008. In total, over 815,000 ships have passed through the canal. It has been named one of the seven modern wonders of the world. More than forty ships pass through the canal each day.

Now, a major expansion project will permit more ships and bigger ships to pass through the canal. Jorge Quijano, the Panama Canal’s executive vice president of engineering, says, “the Canal is operating at its limit. The present canal has a total capacity of about 340 million tons a year that it can handle. With the expansion we expect to double that, over 600 million tons that we can handle in a year.”

Ships pass through a series of locks. These locks raise a ship to the level of Gatun Lake at the canal entrance on the Atlantic side. They lower the ship back to sea level on the Pacific side. For years, shipbuilders limited the size of many ships so that they could pass through the Panama Canal. But now many shipping companies use bigger ships to transport more goods as a way to reduce costs. Mr. Quijano says the expansion project will allow many of these larger ships to use the canal.

Workers are building the new locks alongside the old ones, which will remain in use. The existing locks are 305 meters long and 55 meters wide. The new ones will be 427 meters long and 55 meters wide. They will be able to handle ships with drafts(吃水量) of more than 15 meters. At present, ships can ride only 12 meters deep in the cannel.

Engineers could not make the new locks too big. Mr. Quijano says the plans had to balance the size of the locks with the cos
