31、ommunity working together.分析：本句用了虚拟语气。None of this would have been possible表示与过去事实相反的情况，without引出虚拟条件。译文：如果没有一个具有远见卓识的女人和一个一起努力的团体，所有这一切都是不可能的。8A考查词义猜测。结合语境及上下文中出现的“clean up the Nashua”“the cleanup”“cleaning up the river”等信息可知，此处指的应是河流治理方面的内容，由此可推知画线词的意思应是“改造”，与A项意思相近，故选A。9B考查观点态度。根据第四段中的“When she s
