The Most Wonderful Islands
The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai,in the United Arab Emirates.They are being developed as tourist,leisure,and 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.Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands.The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep.Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site.Although the shallow water facilitates this process,the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements 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 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.Six marinas（小游艇船坞）are planned , with a water theme park , and homes built on stilts（桩柱） in the water.
The Palm Deira is planned to be the largest of the three islands,with a length of 14km and a width of 8.5km,an area larger than the city of Paris.It will consist of residential properties,marinas,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 used for estates,private homes,community islands,and resorts.
Unquestionably,these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world.They will also maintain Dubai's status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.

参考解析
解析：由文章第二段第二句话“Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea...”可知，有围海造地经验的荷兰工程师被雇佣来建造前两个岛。由此可知，一些荷兰工程师在围海造地方面很有经验。故选A。
由文章第二段第三句话“…where the water is not very deep.”可知，这三个岛都位于并不太深的海域。故选B。
文章第二段最后两句话讲到，岩石被用来固定沙子，以形成一个月状的结构，它作为防波堤，保护小岛免受大海的破坏。文中并未提到建立防波堤的岩石是从岛的世界运过来的。故选C。
文章第三段讲到，在Palm Jumeirah岛上，有三个五星级酒店，还有很多豪宅。这些房子在2004年开始销售，三天内售完。也就是说，所有的豪宅都已售完。故选A。
文章第四段第二句讲到，迪拜计划在Jebel Ali岛上建六个小游艇船坞和一个水上主题公园。文中并没有提到水上主题公园会吸引很多游客。故选C。
由文章第五段第一句话“The Palm Deira is...an area larger than the city of Paris.”可知， Palm Deira岛比巴黎市的面积大。故选B。
