A Japanese construction company plans to create a huge independent city-state, akin to the
legendary Atlantis, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The city, dubbed “Marinnation”, would have about
one million inhabitants, two airports, and possibly even a space port. Marinnation, if built, would be a Trang 3


separate country but could serve as a home for international organisations such as the United Nations and the World Bank.
Aside from the many political and social problems that would have to be solved, the engineering
task envisaged is monumental. The initial stage requires the building of a circular dam eighteen miles in
diameter attached to the sea bed in a relatively shallow place in international waters. Then, several
hundred powerful pumps, operating for more than a year, would suck out the sea water from within the
dam. When empty and dry, the area would have a city constructed on it. The actual land would be about
300 feet below the sea level. According to designers, the hardest task from an engineering point of view
would be to ensure that the dam is leak proof and earthquake proof.
If all goes well, it is hoped that Marinnation could be ready for habitation at the end of the second
decade of the twenty-first century. Whether anyone would want to live in such an isolated and artificial
community, however, will remain an open question until that time.
Question 33: According to the text, Marrination, when built, will be a(an)_______ city. A. crowded B. underground C. marine D. legendary
Question 34: The word ‘akin’ in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _______. A. likely B. close C. next D. similar
Question 35: Which of the following would NOT be a problem for the construction plan? A. social B. political C. engineering D. financial
Question 36: Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Marinnation would have about one million inhabitants.
B. Marinnation will be built in a deep place in the Pacific Ocean.
C. Marinnation will be located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
D. Marinnation could be served as home for international organisations.
Question 37: What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage?
A. People will ask an open question about living in Marinnation.
B. The construction of Marinnation could never be completed in time.
C. People might not want to live in an isolated and artificial community.
D. People will ask how they can live in such an isolated and artificial city.
