9、cisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road

10、 without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many

11、 times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and for

12、med a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会). The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”． After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60­foot bridge from aluminum and lengt

13、hs of fire hose (消防水带). It cost $1，000. It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world. In 1983

14、, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn­out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge. Peters died in 1984, and a ten­foot wooden squirrel sculpture

15、was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. 16. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________． A．offer squirrels a place to eat nuts B．set up a local landmark C．help improve traffic D．protect squirrels 17. What happened over the coffee b

16、reak discussion? A. The committee got the Council's blessing. B. The squirrel bridge idea was born. C. A councilwoman named the bridge. D. A squirrel was found dead. 18. What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably mean in the text? A. Passing them a rope. B. Directing t

17、hem to store food for winter. C. Teaching them a lesson. D. Showing them how to use the bridge. 19. Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge? A. It was replaced by a longer one. B. It was built from wood and metal. C. It was rebuilt after years of use. D. It was designed by Bill

18、Hutch. B The average temperature around the world is rising. People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming. The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(气候

19、学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone down—by up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)—from what it was during the years

20、between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the meas

21、ure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid air often releases its moisture through rainfall. So where did the extra moisture in the air come from？Changnon points to farms in the region. As plant

22、s grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn an

23、d soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past. The second study, like Changnon's, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to a

24、nother possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the group's findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area i

25、n the region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air. These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the fir

26、st step toward understanding a change in the weather. 20．What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to? A．Lower temperatures and more rainfall. B．Higher temperatures and higher humidity. C．Making a record both in the past and now. D．The two periods of the 40­year investigation. 21．Whi

27、ch of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest? A．Scientists' research and farmers' attention. B．Less farmland and more plants. C．More plants and irrigation practices. D．Natural reservoirs and underground rivers. 22．The studies show that in Americ

28、a's Midwest，________． A．the average temperature is getting higher and higher B．more and more farmland has been deserted C．the amount of rain is closely related to the temperature D．summers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past 23．According to the passage, irrigating more and mo

29、re plants means ________． A．making more space for farms and buildings B．making more and more water into the air, and thus causing more rain C．more farms depending on water­saving systems D．using plants to change the climate 课时作业(二十六) Ⅰ.1.A　here和there放在句首时，主语是名词要用全部倒装，主语为代词则不用倒装。 2．A　表示否定含义的

30、副词never放句首用部分倒装且注意时态。 3．A　本题考查倒装句的用法。句意：只有在你饮食正确的条件下，你才能保持身材、保持健康。only用于句首和状语或状语从句连用时，后面使用倒装结构。unless＝if not(除非；如果不)，用于句首时引导条件状语从句，主句不用倒装，首先排除C项。如选D项，句意：如果你饮食正确，你将不能保持身材和健康。语意逻辑有问题。故A项正确。 4．D　考查词性用法。in disgust“厌恶地”，作状语。disgusting food“令人厌恶的食物”。disgusted则表示“感到厌恶的，反感的”。 5．B　考查动词短语辨析。句意：因为我无硬币可投了，所以

31、我的电话被中途切断了。cut off意为“切断”，符合句意。break in意为“强行进入，插嘴”，是不及物动词短语，不能用于被动语态； hang up意为“挂断电话”；put down意为“取下，写下”，均不符合语境。 6．C　考查动词词义辨析。根据题意“我推算我们将在下午六点到那儿”可知选C。count数；figure计算；calculate估计，推算；evaluate 评估，评价。 7．D　考查名词辨析。A项意为“报酬，奖金”，B项意为“奖赏，奖金，奖品”，C项意为“成本，价钱，代价”，D项意为“价值，估价，评价”。答语句意：鉴于它真正的价值，我想，它很值得付诸实践。 8．B　考查

32、动词短语。lay off解雇；lay out布置，展示；lay aside搁置，积蓄；lay down放下，放弃。根据句意选B。 9．C　考查动词短语辨析。句意：在你回答我的问题之前，你最好快速地浏览一下这篇文章。dip into“翻阅，浏览”，符合题意。get through“通过；完成”；cut through“刺穿”；look into“调查”。 10．A　考查名词词义辨析。句意：地震过后，地方政府所做的第一件事就是为那些无家可归的人们提供住处。accommodation住处；occupation 占有，居住；equipment 设备；furniture家具。 11．C　考查非谓语

33、动词。句意：南方下了大雨，在几个省区造成严重洪灾。空格后serious flooding是rained heavily的后果，而且句子主语it和cause之间存在主动关系，所以此处要用动词的­ing形式作结果状语。 12．C　考查固定搭配。commit oneself to doing sth.承诺做某事。 13．B　考查时态和主谓一致。根据as well as并列两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as前面的名词在人称和数上一致，排除A项；experiment with意为“进行实验，进行试验”，experiment on意为“在……上试验”，如：He experimented

34、on rats.由此排除D项；根据语境，该空与其主语在逻辑上是主动关系，排除C项。 14．A　否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。 15．B　考查动词短语辨析。句意：这条项链是纯银的。be made into“被制成”；be made from表示看不出原材料的制成品；be made out of“由……制成”。故选B项。 Ⅱ.A 文章主要讲述了Amos Peters观察到松鼠在觅食时遇到交通带来的危险，他还看到一只死了的松鼠嘴里还含着食物，他设想要为松鼠们设计一个能保证它们安全的桥。后来通过努力这个桥终于设计成功，并为世界所知，引起国际的关注，成为当地的一

35、道风景。 16. D　细节理解题。由第二段的“… to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.”看出建这座桥是为了保证松鼠的安全。故选D。 17. B　推理判断题。题干关键词为“coffee break discussion”。由第四段“and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squir

36、rel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council.”可以看出在此期间，建松鼠桥的想法产生了。故选B。 18. D　词义猜测题。根据本句的“Squirrels were even seen guiding their young”看出，是教小松鼠如何使用这个桥。故选D。 19. C　细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced”看出数年之后，这座桥得到了重修。故选C。 B 这是一篇科普类说明文。全球变暖是

37、一个不争的事实，然而在美国中西部地区人们却感受不到这种变化，这是为什么呢？ 20．A　代词指代题。上文中提到1970年以来，七月和八月的平均温度比1930年到1969年这段时间下降了1华氏度，而平均降雨量增加了0.33英寸。由此可知“These changes”指的是：温度降低，降雨量增多。 21．C　细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第四段中的第二、四句话和最后一句可知空气湿度增加的原因是C项。 22．D　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，近四十年美国中西部地区七月和八月的平均气温比前四十年的平均气温要低1华氏度，而降雨量多0.33英寸。由此可知D项正确。 23．B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的Plants use the water and then release it into the air.可知，植物吸收灌溉的水，然后再将水释放到空气中，从而形成降雨。
