If the Dakota Access Pipeline (输油管) is completed, it will carry nearlyhalf a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners(ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $8 billion project, hopes to finishconstruction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe (部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (79) Both sidesshow no signs of backing down. 

The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will runnear the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set asidefor American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historicalareas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their mainwater source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protestagainst the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands ofpeople, including people from other American Indian tribes, have traveled to the siteto join the protest. 

ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protectagainst oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to closevalves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.

Old City Hall was constructed in ________________ years.

The third City Hall is now used as a_______________.

Toronto's third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed byEdward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18,1899. 

Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be thelargest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time. 

Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to buildit. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Streetentrance were actually caricatures (漫画) of councilors at the time. 

Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of thecentral arch (拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portionsof the building. 

The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legaloffices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.

When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group ofpeople called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "

The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather thanwith the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until thebuilding opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989. 

(78) The entire structure cost more than $2.5 million to build at the time.This is equal to $53 million today. 

 Toronto's third City Hall came into use in___________.

The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaningto__________________.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOTTRUE?

Obama has established or enlarged________national monuments duringhis two terms .

In national monuments,____________is forbidden.

As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary （周年纪念）,President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new nationalmonument, and the expansion (扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres offorest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, anational monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand toabout 582,578 square miles, four times its current size. 

Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during hispresidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of thenation's land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in bothMaine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (76) They say their local economies depend onthe use of these areas. 

In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists ( 自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usuallyrequires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president toestablish national monuments on his own. 

The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drillingoperations are forbidden there. (77) It may also severely limit activities such aslogging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine's politicians who want to protectthe state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They sayWashington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people'sjobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should havelistened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U.S. Congress, beforemaking his decision. 

However, those who support the president's decision say the establishmentof the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism. 

 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
