A surprising sight in Chongqing has recently become popular online: a bus seems to crash through a building and stop halfway up the floors. This special installation (设施) has attracted widespread attention from netizens across the country. Local authorities have stated that the building’s safety assessment (评估) is legal, and the installation is just a creative visual design.

According to a domestic news report, a property management company in Nan’an District of Chongqing created this tourist attraction. They cut a bus in half and mounted the front and rear parts on two different buildings, creating the eye-catching illusion of the bus piercing through the buildings. The person in charge of the property said the design idea came from two sources: the lyrics “the No.2 bus parked on the eighth floor” from a popular Chinese song, and Chongqing’s famous Liziba Station, where Line 2 subways pass through a residential building. The construction opened to the public a few months ago.

Netizens have mixed reactions to this installation. Many expressed their eagerness to visit and praised its creativity. However, some pointed out that the “eighth floor” in the song lyrics actually refers to a place name, not a real floor. Meanwhile, others raised concerns about whether the installation is illegal or poses safety risks.

1.1. Why was the bus installation created?

A To create an art decoration.

B To serve as a functional bus stop.

C To test building safety standards.

D To promote a local song.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。文章第一段明确指出，该装置是“a creative visual design”（创意视觉设计），第二段进一步说明“a property management company... created this tourist attraction”（物业公司创建了这一旅游景点）。因此，安装的目的是作为艺术装饰（art decoration）吸引游客，而非其他选项。故选A。

2.2. What is the main point discussed in the second paragraph?

A The reasons for public admiration of the installation.

B The safety measures implemented for the installation.

C The officials’ approval of the installation.

D The origin and inspiration behind the design idea.

解析：选D。D 段落大意题。第二段的核心内容是介绍装置的设计灵感来源，原文明确表述：“the design idea came from two sources: the lyrics... from a popular Chinese song, and Chongqing’s famous Liziba Station”（设计灵感来自两方面：歌曲歌词和李子坝站）。因此，选项D（设计灵感的起源）完全匹配段落主旨。选项 A 错误，“公众赞赏装置的原因” 出现在第三段，并非第二段内容；选项 B 错误，“装置的安全措施” 是最后一段的内容；选项 C 错误，“官员的批准” 同样在最后一段提及，与第二段无关。故选D。

3.3. What does the passage reveal about netizens’ responses?

A They all find it very dangerous.

B Opinions vary among them.

C They show little interest in it.

D Most consider it completely safe.

解析：选B。B 推理判断题。第三段首句提到“Netizens have mixed reactions”，后文具体描述了有人赞赏、有人质疑安全性、有人指出歌词误解等不同观点，因此可推断网友意见不一。选项A（所有人都认为危险）、C（兴趣不大）和D（多数认为完全安全）均与文中描述的多元反应不符。故选B。

4.4. What is the government’s current action concerning the installation’s legality?

A Declaring it illegal immediately.

B Confirming it is fully legal.

C Requesting further professional assessment.

D Ordering its immediate removal.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句，城管局官员表示已知悉情况并会现场检查，同时强调 “further professional assessment is needed to determine if there are safety risks or if it is illegal”，即需要进一步的专业评估来判定装置是否合法。选项A（立即宣布非法） 和选项D（命令立即拆除） 与原文未定论的表述不符。选项B（确认完全合法） 错误，住建部门仅确认了建筑安全评估合法，但装置本身是否合法仍需进一步评估。故选C。
