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 separate country but could serve as a home for internationalorganisations 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 22: According to the text, Marrination, when built, will be a(an) _ city.
Question 23: The word ‘akin’ in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _.
Question 24: Which of the following would NOT be a problem for the construction plan?

Trang 13B 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.

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.
