A.the project is designed to store waterB.all people agree with the project at firstC.floods are a fear to VeniceD.the hinged barriers are 6,500 square feet in all答案:C解析:由第二段第一句可知威尼斯修筑大坝工程是用来防治洪水的,并不是为了蓄水的,排除 A 项;由第二段第二句可知,关于这个大坝的修筑多年来一直有许多争议,排除 B 项;由第二段第三句“.and floods always a fear.”可知 C 项正确;由第二段最后一句可知,是每一块壁垒有6,500 平方英尺,而不是总共,排除 D 项。23.What do the Bailong Elevator and the Millau Viaduct have in common?A.They are in the same country.B.They are both made of glass.C.Both of them are taller than the Eiffel Tower.D.Both of them have a bad effect on the environment.答案:C解析:由文章第三段“At 1,125 feet high (slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower,1,063 feet).”和文章第四段的“At about 1,070 feet high.”可知,这两座建筑都比 Eiffel Tower 要高,故选 C 项。24.We can learn from the passage that the Ormen Lange field is in . A.Britain B.NorwayC.France D.Italy答案:B解析:由文章最后一段“The Langeled Pipeline extends from Nyhamna,Norway,to Easington in the UK.”和“Gas is exported from the Ormen Lange field.located 100 km northwest of the Norwegian coast to Nyhamna.”可知,Ormen Lange field 在挪威。BThe Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US.It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River.It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west,and materials could pour into the east.The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation’s largest city.The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York.It cost $ 7,143,789,but it soon gained its price many times over.Between 1825,when the canal was opened,and 1882,when toll charges(过运河费) were stopped,the state collected $ 121,461,891.For a hundred years before the Erie was built,people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton.Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton’s Ditch(沟)”.Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it.He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal,but they were unsuccessful.6Clinton became governor of New York in 1817,and shortly afterwards,on July 4,1817,broke ground for the canal in Rome,N,Y.The first part of the canal was completed in 1820.As the canal grew,towns along its course developed fast.The length of the canal is 363 miles.25.We can see that the Erie Canal . A.joined the Great Lakes togetherB.crossed New York from north to southC.played an important part in developing New York CityD.was the first waterway built in the US答案:C解析:根据文章第一段最后一句“The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation’s largest city.”可知此题答案为 C 项。26.It can be inferred that into the Atlantic Ocean. A.the Great Lakes flowB.the Hudson River flowsC.Lake Erie flowsD.the Erie Canal flows答案:B解析:根据文章第一段“It crossed New York from. to Albany on the Hudson River.It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.”可知 B 项正确。27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The Erie Canal brought profits of over $ 114,000,000.B.It’s 363 miles from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.C.The West was more advanced than the East when the canal was built.D.Many other states helped New York build the canal.答案:A解析:通过比较文章第二段第二句“It cost $ 7,143,789.”和第二段最后一句中的“.the state collected $ 121,461,891.”可推知此题答案为 A 项。28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Clinton broke ground for the canal at both ends.B.Clinton started building the canal before he became governor.C.All parts of the canal were completed at the same time.D.The construction of the canal took eight years.答案:D解析:根据文章最后一段第一句中的“.on July 4,1817,broke ground for the canal in Rome,N.Y.”和第二段第三句中的“Between 1825,when the canal was opened.”可推知此题答案为 D 项。CA dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.For many years,dams were built only of earth and rocks.Today,many dams are built of concrete.When a dam is built,water is trapped and held behind the dam.This water forms a lake.The lakes can be used for recreation or for irrigating,or watering crops.The lakes also provide potable water,water that is safe for drinking.This potable water is piped from the lake into houses and other buildings.The lake water further serves as a home,or habitat,for fish and waterfowl.Dams are often built to provide flood control.Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there in every spring and used as needed during the rest of the year.7Some dams are built to use the power of falling water to make electricity.Such dams have powerhouses that contain machines;turbines and generators.Water falls from the lake to the river below the dam.As the water falls,it is sent through the powerhouse.There,the force of the water turns the turbines and generators and produces electrical power needed to light and heat buildings.29.The word used to describe water that is safe for drinking is . A.portable water B.dirty waterC.orange juice D.boiled water答案:A解析:由文章第二段第四句“The lakes also provide portable water,water that is safe for drinking.”可知 A 项正确。30.According to the story,dams are built for different reasons.But all dams . A.control the flow of waterB.are built of earth and rocksC.provide electrical powerD.provide potable water答案:A解析:由文章第一段第一句“A dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.”可知 A 项正确。31.If the water level in the lake behind the dam is not lowered before the rainy season,the . A.water in the dam will flow out too slowlyB.snowmelt and rainfall might cause a floodC.lake will probably dry upD.water can irrigate答案:B解析:由文章第三段第二句“Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.”以及第三句“This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there.”可知 B 项正确。32.When dams are built to provide electricity,which of the following happens first?Water . A.is sent through the powerhouseB.pressure turns the turbines and generatorsC.falls from the lake to the river below the damD.runs fast答案:C解析:由文章最后一段第三句可知答案。DFollowing the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge,Australia plans to build a new landmark—a Chinese theme park,including a full-sized replica(复制品)of the gates to Beijing’s Forbidden City.The plan,which will cost ￡330 million,has been passed by the local government.This big park is to be built in Wyong Shire,about 50 miles north of Sydney.The
