17.The Golden Gate Bridge,the first sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship,is a well-recognized landmark,which spans(橫跨) the Golden Gate Strait.
The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years,but it was not easy to get the project started.The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933.The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats,and an innovative(革新的) safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built.The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937,which was finished ahead of schedule.
Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project.However,he had little experience with the construction of suspension(懸浮)bridges.For this reason,other engineers,architects,and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge.For example,the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow.Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.
Today,the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200feet and a total length of 8,981feet,making it one of the longest bridges in the world.The bridge is 90feet wide,and its span is 220feet above the water.The towers supporting the huge cables (巨纜) rise 746feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait,making them  191feet taller than the Washington Monument.About 40million cars cross the bridge every year.There are foghorns(霧角)to let passing ships know where the bridge is,and aircraft beacons(信號燈)on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.

56.The purpose of the passage is toB.
A.describe the construction work of the Golden Gate Bridge
B.introduce the Golden Gate Bridge
C.tell us the history of the Golden Gate Bridge
D.introduce the engineers in charge of the Golden Gate Bridge
57.Safety innovations during the construction of the bridge includedA.
A.hardhats and a safety net    B.a(chǎn)ircraft beacons
C.foghorns                    D.a(chǎn)ll of the above
58.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.Joseph Strauss was skilled in the construction of suspension bridges
B.it took the construction workers three years to build the Golden Gate Bridge
C.a(chǎn)bout 100thousand cars cross the Golden Gate Bridge every day
D.the Golden Gate Bridge is the longest bridge in the world
59.The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 4refers toA.
A.towers           B.cables           C.waters          D.bridges.

分析 文章主要就是介紹The Golden Gate Bridge是美國的地標(biāo)建筑,以及每段的第一句話介紹了The Golden Gate Bridge的設(shè)計(jì)理念和設(shè)計(jì)師以及它的整體跨度等.

解答 56.B      57.A      58.C      59.A
56.B     主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一句The Golden Gate Bridge是美國的地標(biāo)建筑,以及每段的第一句話介紹了The Golden Gate Bridge的設(shè)計(jì)理念和設(shè)計(jì)師以及它的整體跨度等,所以文章主要就是介紹The Golden Gate Bridge.
57.A     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.通過workers were among the first required to wear hard hats,and an innovative(革新的) safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built這句話得出在安全創(chuàng)新上實(shí)現(xiàn)了安全帽和安全網(wǎng).
58.C     推理判斷題.文章提到About 40million cars cross the bridge every year大約每年有40百萬輛車通過,即每天大約有 100thousand cars 車通過該大橋.A項(xiàng)沒有提到;B項(xiàng)從1933到1937四年時間;D項(xiàng)making it one of the longest bridges in the world.是世界上最長之一.
  59.A   猜測詞意題.The towers supporting the huge cables (巨纜) rise 746feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait所以them代指towers.

點(diǎn)評 閱讀這類文章時,也應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下,主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息.細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形(如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等),因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較.做題時,根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果.

5.Some wonderfully creative uses of X-rays have been in the world of art.But the m ost impressive one is to uncover what has bee n covered up.Details unfolded by an X-ray of a painting can't be seen any other way.For example,in the past,paintings were often repaired if small pieces of paint fell off the canvas (帆布). These repairs cannot be seen just by looking at the painting.It takes an X-ray to discover where the repairs have been made.
An X-ray of a painting is one of the best ways to tell if it was created by a famous painter or if it is a forgery.If there is a question as to whether an old master has painted a certain painting or not,X-rays are made and compared to those of paintings that are known to be original.If the brushstrokes (筆跡),for example,are shown to be totally different than in other work done by a certain artist,then the painting is proved to be a fake copy.
Since modern paints are usually made from different materials than paints of hundreds of years ago,the image they leave on an X-ray film looks different.This is another way X-rays can be used to spot a forgery.A modem artist will try to make a forgery look hundreds of years old by painting dirty vamish on it or by using artificial means to get the varnish to look cracked.To the naked eye the forgery may look ol d,but when a careful study of the X-ray image is made,the deception is obvious.
It was common many years ago for an artist to finish a painting,decide it wasn't any good,and paint a completely different picture on top of it.Or artists would paint over others'work-it was their version of recycling.Taking an X-ray is the only way to find out if there is a picture underneath the picture you see with your eyes.Sometimes museums will be more interested in the painting beneath than the one on top,and will restore the older one by having the top layer painstakingly removed.

63.What is the main purpose of the article?C
     A.To provide information to police who are looking for stolen art.
     B.To persuade art dealers to check for fake copies before selling art.
     C.To explain how modern technology can be applied in unique ways.
     D.To help artists restore damaged artwork to its original appearance.
64.According to the passage.X-rays are used toB.
     A.make repairs on paintings in the past
     B.identify the authenticity of an artwork
     C.change the materials of a forgery
     D.remove the recyclable paints
65.In Paragraph 3,the word"deception"probably meansC.
     A.comparison    B.drawback       C.trickery             D.judgement
66.Which is the best title for the passage?A
     A.X-ray Detectives                B.Creative Uses of Technology

12.All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses,because I especially love the flower.A close friend came for a visit the other day.I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom.I promised that the smell of the roses would be  wafted far,far away.
That girl friend of mine,walking into the garden in high spirits,smelt here and there,but in the end she didn't pick a single rose.I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them.Saying so,I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers,but she stopped me,crying no,no,no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one,she said.With her hands seizing at my sleeves,she told me that by no means should they be cut.Roses are the smiling face of the earth,and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy such a charming smile?
My mind was shocked:the ugly earth,the tough earth,the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people.

57.The underlined word"wafted"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning to"A".
A.given off    B.lost      C.destroyed    D.thrown away
58.Why did the writer's close friend refuse to pick a single rose?B
A.Because the roses were not beautiful.
B.Because she loved the roses very much.
C.Because she did not like this kind of roses.
D.Because the writer did not want to give her any.
59.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.The Pity of People to the Roses             B.A Lover of Flowers
