2、Gate Bridge was built,the only way to get across San Francisco Bay was by ship.And by the early twentieth century the Bay was crowded because of them.In the 1920s,engineer and bridge-builder Joseph Strauss believed that a bridge should be built across the Golden Gate to solve the problem.Many groups
3、 went against him,each for their own selfish reasons.Besides,the engineering challenge was also huge the Golden Gate Bridge area often has winds of up to 60 miles per hour,and strong ocean currents (洋流) sweep below the surface.If all that werent enough,it was the middle of the Great Depression,and f
4、unds were hard to find.Strauss didnt give up,and the Golden Gate Bridge history began when San Francisco officials approved$35 million to build the Golden Gate Bridge.After the artistic design and red color were chosen,construction work began in 1933.The Golden Gate Bridge project was completed in 1
5、937,an important date in San Francisco history.Strauss was a pioneer in building safety.The Bay Bridge,which was being built at the same time cost 24 lives while the Golden Gate Bridge cost only 12,a great achievement in a period of time when one man was killed on most construction projects for ever

10、 may come from its effort to change animals lives in captivity (圈养).Many experts think zoos need much repair work if theyre going to last.The Philadelphia Zoo may be the best model for that change.“Even the best zoos today are based on captivity,” says Jon Coe.He is the zoo designer who invented the
11、 Zoo360 Animal Exploration Trail.“To me,thats the big weakness.”In 1975,when David Hancocks took over as director of the Woodland Park Zoo,in Seattle,Washington,it looked like any other big-city zoo.But within a year,Hancocks asked Coe to rethink how zoo animals are kept.Coe developed a plan that in
12、cluded plants growing naturally,wide open areas,and plenty of light.Many zoos,however,have difficulty in providing a proper home for animals.Take elephants,for example.A recent study shows how well elephants live when they have social connections and can collect their own food.In 2011,the Associatio
13、n of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) started requiring zoos with elephants to keep at least three of the animals and an elephant scientist on staff.Not every zoo can afford that.Hancocks has done a lot to shape the zoos we see today.Now he spends more time thinking about their futureand weaknesses.People a
14、re going to zoos in greater numbers than ever.According to the AZA,in 2015,more than 170 million people visited zoos in the U.S.Still,those big numbers will do little to lessen the growing arguments against keeping animals captive.“Where are we going?” asks Hancocks.“I guess Im worried.”5.The underl

26、oday,it is still the ninth longest bridge in the world.”可知,现在世界上只有八座桥比金门大桥长。2.C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the Bay was crowded because of them”可知,Strauss建桥的原因是旧金山湾交通拥堵。3.D段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知,该段主要是讲建这座大桥时面临的多重困难,包括反对意见、恶劣的地理因素、低迷的经济等。4.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Strauss didnt give up”以及这座桥最终建成的语境可知,Strauss是一个意志坚定的人。【篇章导读】本文是议论
27、文。作者在文中探讨了动物园的未来。5.A词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Directly in front of them was a Siberian tiger.”及“They laughed.The tiger was in an enclosed walkway.”可知,一家人面前出现一只老虎,但是他们一点都不“害怕(dread)”,因为老虎在被围住的通道里。6.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But Zoo360s bigger influence may come from its effort to change animals lives in captivity.”可知,费城动物园
28、将动物的利益放在心上。7.D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Not every zoo can afford that.”可知,许多动物园由于资金匮乏,无法给动物们提供合理的居住环境。8.B主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段中的“Now he spends more time thinking about their future”及最后一段中的内容可知,本文探讨的话题是动物园的未来。故B项符合本文主旨。二、【篇章导读】本文是议论文。年轻人可以从上一辈人身上学到很多东西。1.B由下文年轻人可以在工作和人际关系上从上一辈人身上学到很多东西可知,此处表示在很多“方面(ways)”。2.C由下文第二、三段可知,
29、年轻人在工作和人际关系上可以向上一辈人“学习(learn from)”。3.B第三段中的their own life experience对本空有提示。4.D本段主要介绍的是上一辈人对年轻人在工作上的帮助。因此此处表示:上一辈人可以给年轻人“说明(explain)”如何能够获得“梦想(dream of)”的工作。5.A见上题解析。6.D上一辈人“建议(suggest)”年轻人应该做什么以获得必需的技能从而最大限度地获得成功。7.A本句是对上一句的递进,下一句是对本句的递进,故此处用also符合语境。8.C本段主要讲的是上一辈人对年轻人在工作上的帮助,因此此处指应该接受哪份“工作(job)”。9
30、.C上一辈人甚至可以请自己的朋友帮助年轻人找到“岗位(position)”。10.D上一辈人已经经历过生活中的很多事情,因此有生活经验这个“优势(advantage)”。11.B下文中的in their own relationships对本空有提示。12.B根据上下文语境以及常识可知,上一辈人会反思自己的经历,对于有些事情,他们认为当时可以采取的做法会有所“不同(differently)”(从而使事情更加完美)。13.D而他们的经验教训可以避免年轻人犯类似的“错误(mistakes)”。14.C本文旨在说明上一辈人对年轻人的帮助,因此此处表示:如果年轻人准备听从这些“建议(advice)”。
31、15.B那么这些建议一定会对他们有所“帮助(helpful)”。16.A第二、三段分别提到了生活中的两个“方面(fields)”。17.B由下文中的“After all,no relationship is the same”可知,对于上文提到的两个方面,作者认为上一辈人对年轻人在“工作(work)”方面的帮助更大。18.D作者在对比工作和人际关系两个方面之后认为,上一辈人对年轻人在人际关系上的帮助稍小,因为没有哪一种人际关系是一成不变的,“因此(so)”在一种情况下“对的(right)”,并不一定适用于另一种情况。19.D见上题解析。20.C相比人际关系,上一辈人对年轻人事业的建议更容易“遵循(followed)”。三、第一句:butso / and;meetmet第二句:去掉of第三句:helphelping第四句:beingbe;usefullyuseful第五句:friendfriends第六句:payingpaid第八句:important前加an;moremost
